As is the studio’s wont, Warner Bros. has unveiled a trio of new character posters forBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. These are in keeping with the style of the previous three posters, which featured our heroes Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), but this time it’s the villain and Bat and Supes’ support systems who take center stage.
With all the focus on the titular battle and the inclusion of Wonder Woman, you’d be forgiven for forgetting thatBatman v Supermanwill also introduce us to a new onscreen iteration of Alfred viaJeremy Irons, who has the unenviable task of stepping intoMichael Caine’s shoes. It’ll be interesting to see what an Alfred for a “grizzled” and “retired” Batman is like, and based on the trailers and promos we’ve seen thus far, he seems none too pleased that Bruce Wayne is going back out into the field.
As for Lois Lane, it’s kind of a shame thatAmy Adams’ character doesn’t get a trueMan of Steelsequel to further flesh out this iteration of the comics reporter. She’s in the follow-up, sure, but with the superhero headbutting, Lex’s villainy, Wonder Woman’s inclusion, and the set-up forJustice League – Part 1to do, one imagines Lois isn’t going to get a ton of screentime—although here’s hopingChris Terrio’s screenplay at least has the time to further develop Lois’ relationship with Clark.
In any event, it’s nice to see these characters getting their due in the form of character posters, and I’ll be curious to see if we get any more from Warner Bros. as the release ofBatman v Supermanmoves closer. Take a closer look below (viaIMP Awards).Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceopens in theaters on March 25th.
