A brief teaser of “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” that was shown during the fall finale episode of the American superhero drama TV series “Gotham” on Fox on November 30 has raised the fan enthusiasm on the upcoming movie to be shown on March 25, 2016.
The short footage shows the Caped Crusader being held prisoner in the desert. Moments later, Superman arrives and unmasks him to reveal Bruce Wayne of course, details The Verge.
The full trailer will be released on December 2 during “Jimmy Kimmel Live” so fans should expect a handful of action scenes to further fuel their excitement on the widely-anticipated movie, which critics believe is to become 2016’s first official blockbuster film.
The teaser was a welcome surprise to fans of “Gotham” because they all know that the Caped Crusader is never shown in the TV series and features mostly his backstory and the people he dealt with in his good old city. So when they suddenly saw Batman on the teaser, they somehow saw the connection right away of “Gotham” and the upcoming movie “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
Slash Film cites that the teaser could probably be just a dream sequence or a hallucination induced by Lex Luthor on Bruce Wayne. It also cited that the footage is already part of the trailer that debuted at the ComicCon 2015 held at San Diego, California in July.
Movie synopsis
Meanwhile, the official plot synopsis of “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” has already been released.
Accordingly, the actions of god-like superheroes, obviously alluding to Superman and Batman, were left unchecked. Gotham City’s own formidable forceful vigilante, referring to Batman, takes on Metropolis’ most revered, modern-day savior, referring to Superman, leaving people in a quandary on what sort of hero they really need.
With Batman and Superman fighting each other, a new threat quickly looms that put mankind in far greater danger than ever before.
“Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch, and Diane Lane as Martha Kent.
The movie is also expected to feature the cameo appearances of other superheroes including Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller, as The Flash, Jenna Malone as possibly Barbara Gordon, and Scoot McNairy as possibly Jimmy Olsen.
Zack Snyder is helming the film, which is to become the first part of the larger DC cinematic universe which shall soon include “Suicide Squad,” “Wonder Woman,” “Aquaman,” “The Flash,” “Green Lantern Corps,” and the two-part “Justice League” movie.
Only five superheroes
Barely four months to go before the superhero movie based on DC comics “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” hits global theaters, details of the film is starting to come out.
Interestingly, one of the details that superhero fanatics will find odd is that the upcoming movie from Warner Bros will feature only three other DC superhero characters other than Batman and Superman.
Unlike the Marvel’s Avengers, which now count more than 10 superhero characters, and will mostly be seen in the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War” minus Thor and the Hulk, the initial formation of the Justice League will include only five superhero characters.
In addition to the Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader, the three other superheroes who shall be featured in “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” include Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash.
