2. “The red capes are coming, the red capes are coming“
Whatever you thought about Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, expectations have been high for its follow-up, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Snyder presented a trailer which while having much to like, still has some weird notes. On the one hand nothing seems more heroic than the sight of Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne rushing headlong into the devastation caused by the battle between Superman and General Zod’s from the first film, the armoured bat-suit looks fantastic there’s an intriguing glimpse of General Zod’s corpse, the bat-mobile and the first look at Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman in battle.
On the other, the film seems to have adopted a relentlessly bleak tone, has Ma Kent ( diane Lane) imply that Superman doesn’t owe the earth a thing, retells Batman’s origin yet again, introduces some puzzling soldiers with Superman’s “S” shield on their uniforms and saddles Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex’s Luthor with a dodgy wig and some pretty on the nose, odd dialogue (“The Red capes are coming, the red capes are coming “).
The panel which includes a very quick peek at the Suicide Squad cast can be found here.
It was also announced during the convention that Ben Affleck would be starring and directing a standalone Batman film in the future.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released in cinemas on 25 March 2016.
