New Photos For Batman v Superman Released Online
Entertainment Weekly let loose a torrent of new photos for the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film. The cover for the latest issue of the magazine also offered an image of the three heroes of DC’s Trinity together. You can check it out below.
There was also a rather interesting shot of Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Diana (aka Wonder Woman) (Gal Gadot) together in a formal setting. This is curious, as it reveals that Diana will be involved in the film in some way other than as a warrior princess (though I fully expect that to happen as well). Of course, you have the classic staredown image that we have up top, with Batman in full armor ready to face Superman.
While some of these pictures may seem rather typical, many a DC Comics fan has noticed that some of these images are callbacks to classic DC images, comics, or cartoons. The EW cover is a reference to an image of the Trinity, and the other two are (depending on how you look at it) images taken from scenes of the classic Justice League animated series.
The Bruce and Diana one especially has gotten fans’ eyes because this was in an episode where Bruce “saved” Diana from questioning people and danced with her, thinking she didn’t know who he was. Later on, after saving the day, she noted to him, “we never did get to finish our dance”.
