Holy Trinity
Featuring not one, not two, but three of DC's heaviest hitters, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is shaping up to be the superhero film to beat this summer.
A new trailer for the superhero slugfest surfaced a few weeks ago, and now a trio of character posters have emerged. In the spotlight are DC's very own holy trinity, Superman (looking disconcertingly like Pee Wee Herman), a heavy metal Batman, and Themysciran princess Wonder Woman.
There's no sign of the rest of the Justice League, who at last count included Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller's Flash, and Ray Fisher as techno-titan Cyborg. We're still not clear on how big a role they'll play in the final film, and the lack of character sheets could suggest they are more bit-part than big-time players. Not that we mind, especially as from the looks of it BvS is already full to bursting, even without throwing another trio of characters into the mix.
While Supes' costume still looks a little too fussy and overcomplicated, Ben Affleck's Batman is looking very good indeed, even if he does comes across a bit more Robocop than Caped Crusader. Wonder Woman, who we feared wouldn't translate well to the realm of live action, actually looks the best of the bunch. As we can see, she's packing her lasso of truth, an iconic part of the character's arsenal that will be immediately recognisable to Wondy fans.
The finished film swoops into cinemas next March.
