Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) - Teaser Trailer

Dear Readers,

The teaser trailer for the upcoming action blockbuster has been released.

Directed by Zack Snyder (Man of Steel, 300), the movie stars Henry Cavill as Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman, Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman.

Other superheroes include Cyborg (played by Ray Fisher), Aquaman (played by Jason Momoa) and The Flash (played by Ezra Miller).

Supporting cast includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White.

The trailer focuses primarily on Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne/Batman. Having enjoyed Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy, I was a bit skeptical.

I have to confess that Affleck's Batman looks impressive. His is a bulked up version, like the one found in The Dark Knight Returns series by Frank Miller. I have read reports that this movie might be inspired by Miller's popular work.

Ever since this movie was announced, I had pinned my hopes on Affleck's Batman to be the savior. Looks like I was not off the mark as Henry Cavill remains as bland and uninspired as he was in Man of Steel.

I am curious to see the other four superheroes in action, especially Ezra Miller's Flash. He has the unenviable task of being compared with Grant Gustin who portrays the Scarlet Speedster on the wildly successful CW show The Flash.

Here's hoping that the movie will live up its hype as the first live action movie to feature both Superman and Batman.

Ben Affleck is the new Batman!

Ben Affleck has been announced to be Christian Bale's successor to play the Dark Knight in Zack Snyder's sequel to Man of Steel.

I personally consider Chris Bale's performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne in The Dark Knight Trilogy to be definitive and as one of the best by a leading actor in the superhero movie genre.

Ben Affleck has won Oscars for his work for Best Writing (Good Will Hunting, 1997) and Best Picture (Argo, 2012). He is one of the most talented people of his generation.

Interestingly, Ben also portrayed the Marvel Comics superhero, Daredevil in the poorly received Mark Steven Johnson directed movie in 2003. He is one of the few actors to play characters from both DC and Marvel Comics, along with Halle Berry (Storm in the X-Men movies and Catwoman) and Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern and Wade Wilson/Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine).

I am not still sure about this casting decision. I am interested to hearing from readers about their thoughts.

Latest Trailer for "Man of Steel"

Henry Cavill makes a dashing Superman

Check out the latest action packed trailer for "Man of Steel". 

Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen). Produced by Chris Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy). Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane and Russell Crowe.

I was not that impressed with the first full length trailer that came out last month. Since then, the TV spots have been getting better and I have reconsidered my thoughts. This trailer is just amazing and I am pumped up for this movie.

The cast looks terrific. I was initially skeptical about Henry Cavill's casting as the iconic superhero. I have to confess that he looks good in the part. We will find out shortly if he matches or exceeds the late Christopher Reeve's classic performance as Supes.

Hans Zimmer provides the music and his work alone makes it worth one's time to watch a movie. His soundtracks for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies and The Dark Knight trilogy are couple of my all time favorites.

Rest of the cast looks good. I especially look forward to Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon as Jor-El and General Zod respectively.

Man of Steel looks to be action packed and has an epic scope, as any Supes movie should be.
