Asteroid doomsday or payday

Earlier today, we brought you new TV spots from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , which teased the epic battle between Ben Affleck 's Batman and Henry Cavill 's Superman . We also showed you a new Empire Magazine cover, which featured an artistic rendition of these icons locked in battle. Empire also had the chance to speak with director Zack Snyder , who shed some new light on several aspects of this long-awaited adventure, including why he revealed the villainous Doomsday in the last trailer, how old Gal Gadot 's Wonder Woman really is, and the huge tease of yet another big villain. Many were surprised when Doomsday was featured in the third trailer for Batman v Superman , even though he was rumored to be a part of the story for quite some time. There have been unconfirmed reports that Lex Luthor takes the corpse of General Zod ( Michael Shannon ) and turns him into Doomsday, but details about how Doomsday is created have not … [Read more...] about Zack Snyder Explains Doomsday, Darkseid & Wonder Woman’s Age in Batman v Superman

While it's not exactly a huge Christmas gift, there is a stocking stuffer's worth of new footage in the latest Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice teaser. This international sneak peek is for Asian audiences. And more than anything, it delivers one epic voice over.

While most of the footage in this Japanese trailer has ben seen before, we do get one brief new clip. We see more of Ben Affleck 's millionaire Bruce Wayne out of his Batman suit of armor. And he offers an intriguing new line of dialogue that we haven't heard him utter before. Ominous, and too the point, he tells Alfred the following. RELATED: Zack Snyder's Batman Was Always Designed to Be Divisive "This may be the only thing I do that matters." Of course, we're not sure where this line falls in context to the story playing out in the movie. Is he … [Read more...] about Asian Batman v Superman Trailer Has New Bruce Wayne Footage

We are just a few months away from seeing the Justice League unite in live-action on the big screen for the very first time ever. We recently got a massive new trailer for the movie at San Diego Comic-Con which gave us a whole bunch of new footage to chew on ahead of the November 17, 2017, release date. Now, a condensed theatrical version of the trailer has arrived online, giving us some very brief snippets of footage and some brand new dialogue not featured in the Justice League Comic-Con trailer . The condensed Justice League trailer, which comes to us courtesy of DC AlertTVShows, clocks in at 2 minutes and 34 seconds. That is quite a bit shorter than the massive 4-minute trailer that we got at SDCC , but this is a much more reasonable length to present in movie theaters and it pretty much gives the exact same feel the extended trailer did, just at a much more rapid pace with absolutely no breathing room. Plus, we get a new line in this version, with the "Honestly I … [Read more...] about Justice League Theatrical Trailer Arrives, Batman Speaks

Following the huge popularity of Zack Snyder's Justice League , fans of the divisive director have been left wondering what the rest of his DC cinematic universe would have looked like. Well, Snyder himself has now revealed that Justice League 3 would have essentially been Man of Steel 2 , focusing very heavily on the arc of Henry Cavill's Superman . "I had just assumed that the final movie was going to be very much a Superman movie . Like the final chapter [Justice League 3] was going to be a large percentage of Superman to just bookend the whole thing. Because if Batman died, it would have very much fallen on Superman to be the de facto leader. By the way, at that point, Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) would have been made queen of the Themyscira and she would be leading the warriors of Themyscira into battle against Darkseid herself. And Arthur (Jason Momoa's Aquaman) would be leading the armies of Atlantians." RELATED: J.K.
