Every year around San Diego Comic Con, Entertainment Weekly releases tons of fun stuff from upcoming movies and television shows. This year, there is no shortage of information since there are many anticipated movies being represented. In this week’s double edition print issue, EW was able to get the scoop from director Zack Snyder on three scenes that will be in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. (All descriptions are courtesy of Comicbook.com)
- Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and his loyal butler, Alred (Jeremy Irons), are gravely intoning their lines into a burned-out fireplace, as Bruce prepares for his Valley of Elah moment with Superman. The billionaire vigilante appears weary but determined, not unlike the actor portraying him.
- In his editing suite in Pasadena last month, Snyder showed off early passes of the money sequence, a rainy rooftop battle between the two capes. There’s an undeniable thrill to watching these pop culture icons go at it–throwing each other through walls and skylights.
- Snyder also reveals a scene in the Batcave where Bruce Wayne outlines his motivations to a skeptical Alfred, a bit of realpolitik reasoning that weighs the morality of a preemptive strike on Superman against even the minimal chance of humanity’s destruction.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice features Gotham City’s own vigilante, Batman who travels to Metropolis to take on Superman, fearing what would happen if the latter is kept unchecked. As Batman and Superman confront one another, a new threat arrives to put mankind in greater danger than it has previously know. (Source)
