March 3, 2016: New "Batman v Superman" Images in Entertainment Weekly

Superman Cover Batman Cover The March 11, 2016 edition of the Entertainment Weekly magazine (issue #1406) features either a Henry Cavill as Superman or Ben Affleck as Batman cover, with new images inside the issue.

    Batman and Superman are finally meeting face to face ­ and fist to fist. EW's new cover focuses on the first film to unite the DC Comics universe on the big screen, and here we present a collection of new images from director Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. "It's been a serious haul," says Snyder, who's been working on the film for three years after finishing 2013's Man of Steel. "We were in this place of, 'What do we do, how do we scale this character, Superman?' I remember mentioning, 'What if he fights Batman?' And once you say 'Batman' out loud, you can't put it back. You can't go, you know, 'That's a good idea. Batman. But you know what'd be cooler...?"

    "The favorite thing that people ask me is, 'Does it seem possible for Batman and Superman to fight? Batman's so outmatched.' And I go, 'That's the movie. Trust me, they fight in the movie, and they fight good.'" Although they are partly manipulated into conflict by Lex Luthor, he's just exploiting a natural animosity between the two, who have radically different ideas of what "doing the right thing" means.

    "Although he is physically infallible, psychologically he's very much vulnerable to the same things that make us vulnerable," Cavill says of his Superman. "When you're doing your best, your utmost, and then people point their finger at you and call you the bad guy... That would be enormously frustrating. I know the human reaction would be, 'Hold on a second, F-you man,' and his reaction is the first half of that: not quite the 'F-you'; It's the hurt."
