Two of DC's biggest superheroes are going head-to-head in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. A teaser clip was recently released for the much anticipated flick as well as new photos of the titular characters on the cover of its companion novel.
A clip from the upcoming film was released in Fox during the fall finale of the Gotham series. As reported by Yahoo, the short video serves as a teaser to the new trailer which is expected to arrive on during the late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live in December 02.
The video begins with Bruce Wane wearing a brown coat but his face and arms covered with his mask and gloves from the Batman costume. He wakes up to find out that he's chained up along with other prisoners in an underground area. Eventually Superman arrives, looking pissed and walks toward the Batman with the guards kneel down to him as he pass. Superman stands in front of the Caped Crusader and took off his mask before he seemingly drops it to the ground.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be the first time the two titular heroes will be seen duke it out in the big screen. Henry Cavill is expected to reprise his role as Clark Kent/Superman, while Ben Affleck will star as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Gal Gadot is also on board as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman including Jason Momoa who is expected to make an appearance as Arthur Curry/Aquaman.
The upcoming feature will be the first among the slate of films Warner Bros has in store to further expand the DC Extended Universe. As reported by Cinema Blend, Affleck also recently expressed his worries for the upcoming film. Affleck said that the pressure is high for them to make the movie a success, "I think there is a ton of pressure on it. I mean I would be bullshitting you to say there isn't...If it doesn't do well, that will be extremely disappointing.", he said.
Moreover, as reported by Comic Book Movie, the photos of the titular heroes are also available on the cover of its companion novel where Superman can be seen wearing the traditional blue and red costume, and Batman in predominantly black and grey.
The forthcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is directed by Zack Snyder, and written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. It is set to hit theaters in March 25, 2016 to and subsequently to be followed by Suicide Squad in August 5.
