New ‘Batman V Superman’ Posters Go After The Butler, Reporter, And Evil Industrialist Demographics

What tickles me most about these new posters is the use of logos. Since the character posters for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman all featured those iconic heroes striking dramatic poses behind their equally iconic logos, the posters for Alfred, Lois, and Lex follow suit. And whether intentional of not, it’s my ideal shade of silly. There’s Alfred, standing tall and strong behind…the Wayne Industries logo! Meanwhile, Lois and Lex are overlaid with logos for LexCorp and The Daily Planet.
And yet, how cool does Jeremy Irons look as Alfred, whose take take on the character is reportedly more of a “bodyguard” and a mechanic than a typical butler? Plus, it’s nice to be reminded that Amy Adams is actually in Batman v Superman. She is too wonderful of an actress, and her take on Lois Lane is too perfect, to be completely shuffled to the side. And while Jesse Eisenberg remains a controversial choice for Superman’s arch-foe, I’ve grown increasingly open to whatever the hell he’s doing with this character. If nothing else, he certainly seems to be making some interesting choices.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens on March 25, 2016. And whether you like it or not, director Zack Snyder will begin filming the first Justice League movie on April 11. Do you know what the means? More wacky character posters, hopefully.
