I woke up to something very exciting this morning. A trailer for the upcoming Superman V Batman: Dawn of Justice. I loved Man of Steel and have been very eagerly awaiting for sequel. The trailer suggests that I won’t be disappointed.
We’re getting a pretty clear picture of why Batman and Superman will be pitted against each other in this movie. I think it will seem logical from both perspectives. The film is definately dealing with the aftermath of the great battle between Superman and Zod (and the whole alien invasion thing). In this universe, Superman definately has to deal with consequences, and he’s going to have to work hard to earn people’s trust if he wants to be seen as anything other than an alien threat.
We see a very heroic Bruce Wayne rushing to save a child during the epic battle of the previous film – establishing and cementing his attitude toward the man of steel. A lot of people are not keen on Ben Affleck in the role, but I’m very interested to see his take. I suspect it will be good.
Lex Luthor is interesting. Quite young. Not bald. He’s got a bit of attitude. I think this will be a completely different take on the character from anything I have seen before.
We see glimpses of General Zod’s body as well s kryptonite in the trailer. That’s cool.
It remains to be seen exactly how Wonder Woman fits into all of this, but she definately gets to kick butt given her brief scenes in the trailer. I can’t help but wonder who she is fighting.
In short, I continue to get more excited each time we see something new about this movie. The DC cinematic universe looks to have a significantly different tone and style to the Marvel cinematic universe, and I think I’m going to love them both. We don’t need a copy-cat here.
