SPOILER ALERT!! Go no further, lest ye be spoiled.
Some time back, Idle Hands showed off the first images of Batman vs Superman product hitting stores from Mattel. Among the items was a 3 figure pack featuring an Armored Batman, Superman and a Mech Suit wearing Lex Luthor. Now, it can always be argued that a flashy robot in a toy set could be "inspired by" the film, made after comic designs or just plain made up, but there was evidence to lead us to believe Lex Luthor would indeed suit up for a fight.
Did you know there was a Dawn of the Justice League TV Special happening tonight? NEITHER DID I!! Apparently there will be previews of the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice movie, the Wonder Woman movie, and a brand new Suicide Squad trailer ...so says Kevin Smith, the world's newest celeb geek reporter and host of this event. Tune in to the CW tonight at 9:30 (eastern) where ALL WILL REVEALED!! Not really..but maybe some little bits will be revealed, and the numbers will prove to WB they should have greenlit a Wonder Woman movie a long time ago.
Check the new art to the left, revealing Cyborg and Flash alongside Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman. Now we just need a look at Green Lantern...
Witness a very, very, very small bit of the battle between THE BAT and THE CAPE ...The Night and The Boy Scout...or rather more specifically in this clip...the alien vs the kick ass bat-ride! We knew this would be coming from fleeting footage in past trailers and the box art and action features on the just released Batmobile toy ...but seeing rhe Batmobile bounce off of Superman is way more fun in real time! Looking forward to watching Superman tear that ride's engine out!
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice In theaters March 25th
When last we visited the collectibles of Warner Bros' Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, we checked out a pile of items in stores now, and mostly from Mattel. Now Funko takes center stage! As we checked out the list of Pops, Vinyl Idolz and Mystery Minis, we noticed the first bits of merchandise may already be in stores. The first wave of Batman Vs Superman Pop! Vinyl Figures are available now, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, a Superman Soldier, Nightmare Desert Batman, Aquaman, and an Aquaman variant that may reveal a small movie detail... POSSIBLE SPOILERS IF YOU CONTINUE!
SPOILERS being the operative word in this article. Do NOT continue reading if you don't want elements of Batman Vs Superman ruined!
The trailer was...well...I don't want to call it epic, as it seemed more like the combination of many many elements swished around in a pot and flung against a wall ..you know..to see what sticks. We've got a world reeling after the colossal battle in Metropolis that ended when Superman nearly twisted General Zod's head off. Superman takes on an armored up Batman in scenes ripped right from the pages of The Dark Knight Returns and after a bit of a tussle, it seems they have bigger fish to fry with this film's version of Doomsday on a rampage. Wonder Woman ...and we assume, eventually, the rest of the soon-to-be members of the Justice League...step in to join the battle. We've been told this mini Doomsday isn't the only enemy the League will face in their first fight..and now new toys from Mattel may make it clear who steps up to beat down the forces of good.
TODAY'S THE DAY!!! (written yesterday night..published today because allergies) Tens of twenties of fans flocked to theaters across America to see the new trailer for Warner Bros. Batman Vs. Superman in eye-exploding IMAX clarity. Of course I kid, because honestly, all you have to say is BATMAN and you will generate a line of people who will only ask what they are lining up for after the first hour. My crowd at the New Brunswick, NJ Loews movie theater seemed as if they would be content just collecting an awesome teaser poster and a T shirt before being sent on their way. I arrived an hour and a half before the screening and there were already 20 people positioned like little DC Comics soldiers with heads pointed at their phone screens, ready for the wait that lie ahead.
As the colossal cast still seems to be building, we've gotten our first look at Ben Affleck as Batman and a fair amount of his Batmobile. Now, Warnerbros gives us a sneak peek at a somber Henry Cavill as Superman in the upcoming, sure to be epic (in scope, if nothing else!) "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". Not much to write home about here...no changes to the suit it seems..and if it ain't broke, why fix it, right? We know the ladies love to look at Henry, so here's your eye candy for the day...
