Just about a week before Warner Bros. takes over Comic-Con in San Diego – because it looks like Disney, Marvel, Sony, and Paramount aren’t interested in going – the studio has released a set of brand new exciting images for the highly anticipated Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

These new images reveal the epic stare down between The Dark Knight (Ben Affleck) and the Man of Steel (Henry Cavill), and the god-like praise that Superman received in the teaser trailer earlier this year. Plus we are getting our first look at some behind-the-scenes directing work from Zack Snyder, as well as our very first look at Gal Gadot as Diana Prince and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor with hair?! Check out the photos after the jump.

Warner Bros. has just revealed the first synopsis for Zack Snyder‘s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it is pretty much everything we expected it to be.

Though it is a very brief look into the film, it hints at why these two heroes will go at it, and how another threat may forced to put the feuding heroes’ differences aside to save the world from an impending doom. Check out the synopsis below.

In April it was reported that Warner Brothers was looking at James Wan to direct Aquaman for them. Now it’s official, as Wan is signed on and locked in for the job. He’ll also be supervising the writing of the film’s script, which is set to be penned by Kurt Johnstad (300, 300: Rise of an Empire).

Wan is best known for his work in the realms of horror, directing Saw, Dead Silence, Insidious, The Conjuring, and Insidious: Chapter 2. He’s also attached to direct the upcoming The Conjuring 2. Wan stepped away from horror last year to direct the latest installment in the Fast and the Furious franchise, Furious 7, replacing the director of the previous four movies in the franchise, Justin Lin.

Another actor has entered into negotiations to join the cast of The Magnificent Seven, MGM’s upcoming remake of the 1960 western of the same name that starred Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen among many others.

Jason Momoa, who is best known for his roles in Stargate: Atlantis, Marcus Nispel’s Conan the Barbarian remake, and as Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones (until he makes his debut as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice anyway), is the latest actor to become attached to the movie. Momoa would play one of the film’s villains if everything works out, though no details on who exactly that might be is not yet known. All that is known is that it’s not the primary antagonist, a role that has not been cast at the moment.

Almost two weeks ago, director Zack Snyder tweeted out two character posters for a special Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice IMAX event. They featured both the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight’s faces obscured by each other’s character logos with the year 2016 right dead in the center.

A variant of the Batman character poster has been released that gives us our first clear look at Ben Affleck decked out in the classic cape and cowl of Gotham’s nocturnal vigilante. You can check it out here below.
