Batman v Superman Final Trailer Plus More From The DC Cinematic Universe

It was a quiet week in the DC Cinematic Universe until the final Batman v Superman trailer was released yesterday (Thursday 11th Febraury) but there’s a few other pieces of news to talk about.

Let’s start off with this brilliant trailer, I was watching it on my phone whilst waiting for the press screening of another Warner Bros film How To Be Single, and HOLY SHIT this trailer was incredible. I got so unbelievably giddy watching it, I was like a child.

The opening shot where we see Batman (Ben Affleck) beating the living crap out of some thugs and it was amazing. He moved so well and every strike was deadly, it felt like the Batman Arkham games and by the looks of things this Alfred (played by Jermey Irons) is taken from the 90s animated series as he has the sarcastic tone to his voice.

The score was brilliant and I wonder if Junkie XL got ahold of Royal Blood because you can really hear the bass letting rip and was only beefed up by the drums and guitar and I can’t wait to buy this soundtrack and work out to it back a lot of the Batman themes get you pumped up.

It’s also giving us a better look into this Batman’s backstory and his reasons to take out Superman (Henry Cavill) and we also got to hear Wonder Woman’s (Gal Gadot) voice for the first time and even though it was only a sentence, fans can hopefully calm down and give Gadot a break.

 This was a Batman trailer, though and though, but as I said this is the first time we’re seeing his Batman in the DCCU and it’s important to establish his character. 

Even though seeing Batman kicking arse at the beginning was the best scene in the trailer, it could easily be rivalled by the look Superman gives when Batman blocks his punch right at the end.

 Earlier this week there were plenty of trailers during the superbowl, including The Jungle Book, Captain America: Civil War and X-Men: Apocalypse and instead of getting mixed up in the shuffle.

Warner Bros and Turkish Airlines did two really clever adverts making Gotham City and Metropolis look like actual flying destinations with local heroes Bruce Wayne (Affleck) promoting Gotham and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) championing his rebuilt city of Metropolis.

This was really clever by WB and Turkish Airlines as it gives us world building and easter eggs for future films. They even got maps to the two cities on their website.

Also, after the advert and this new trailer I’m declaring Ben Affleck is going to be the greatest on screen Bruce Wayne/Batman ever.

One more piece of small news is Variety are reporting an untitled DC Comic film, which is said to be the movie adaptation of The Flash, is having its release date moved up a week from 23rd March 2018 to 16th March 2018.

Unlike the Marvel universe where their films and TV and Netflix shows are all connected, DC have decided to do (what I think personally is the better choice) and making their TV and movie universes separate. So as well as the hit Sky One TV Show The Flash starring Grant Gustin, they’ll also be a big screen version of the character played by Ezra Miller.
