Next year Warner Bros. will expand the DC Cinematic Universe by releasing two DC films. The first will be Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, while David Ayer’s Suicide Squad hits theaters a few months after. The former will follow the destructive events of Man of Steel, with Batman (Ben Affleck), the defender of Gotham City, declaring war on Superman (Henry Cavill), the hero of Metropolis. The trailer for the film only gave us a glimpse at what is expected to be a epic showdown between two iconic superheroes.

Now, Empire has released a new cover image of the eponymous heroes standing tall. Check out the latest cover of Empire’s magazine here below.

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.

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.

Last week, Warner Bros. launched a major marketing campaign for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Director Zack Snyder had announced that a 15-minute IMAX event will be held in theaters across the nation in conjunction with the release of the film’s first trailer. While the trailer leak was unexpected, the studio continues to move forward with their plans to show 15 minutes of footage. In anticipation for this, we are getting two new, I guess you would call them, character posters. Only thing is, each poster has been defaced with the markings of the other title heroe. So if you see a Batman poster, you’ll see that it has been defaced with the Superman emblem, and vice-versa. And to get these posters, you’ll have to attend the event tonight. Hit the jump to check them out.
