We’ve already seen what Ben Affleck as Batman will look like in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but there were questions as to what Henry Cavill’s Superman will look like. Anybody expecting something drastically different from Snyder’s Man of Steel look will be very disappointed, considering it’s the exact same costume. The first image gives off a sense of gloom as Superman is in the middle of a torrential rainstorm, which befits Batman more than it does Superman. I guess this is Snyder’s way of juxtaposing the optimistic and cheery Superman with the dark and depressing Gotham setting.
Man of Steel wasn’t an amazing film in itself, but it set the tone for future Superman films and was a great foundation for Warner Bros. and DC to build from. By putting Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in Dawn of Justice, I worry that it’ll be overkill and not formed naturally the way Marvel’s The Avengers was put together. Then again, I’ve always been pessimistic when it comes to DC films outside of the Nolan Batverse.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice won’t be in theaters until May 6, 2016, so we have a little less than two years to continue speculating over the film.
