The much anticipated Batman v Superman will finally be released soon. Now that both movies are out, it’s the perfect opportunity for fans of the genre to come together and share their thoughts. It’s been a while since we’ve witnessed a spectacular rivalry between superheroes, but 2019 will go down in history as the year of the superheroes. It started with the release of Aquaman, followed by Black Widow and Deadpool.
The upcoming Batman vs. Superman will only add to this rivalries. Fans can finally see the culmination of years of build-up as Christian Bale’s Batman finally ventures against Henry Cavill’s Superman.
The movie will no doubt be spectacular, but there are a few things you should know before you go to see it.
1. The Score Is Mightily Important
The score is integral to any movie. It sets the mood and tone of the entire work. In Batman vs. Superman, Hans Zimmer’s score will not only be present in the trailer but also throughout the film. It will act as a metaphor for the movie’s ultimate battle, as the two titans of industry fight for the fate of humanity.
The music is already available for purchase and can be found on the official soundtrack, out now. It is a wonderful introduction to one of the most anticipated sequels of all time. If you’re a fan of the Batman and Superman franchises, it’s a must-listen.
2. The Setting Is More Than Meets The Eye
The trailers have given us a fairly good indication of what to expect from Batman vs. Superman. Based on the footage, we know that it will be set in the present day, with Gotham City and Metropolis as neighboring cities. It will feature cameos from many famous faces, including Amy Adams, Diane Lane, and Laurence Fishburne. The images we’ve seen so far seem to suggest a darker turn for Batman, who is not only older but has also lost a lot of his former glory. The world has changed, and Batman must change with it.
Interestingly, despite the trailer giving a rather bleak picture of Gotham City, there have been some rather exciting speculations regarding the movie’s plot. It will reportedly explore the origin story of Lex Luthor, which has not been depicted on the big screen before. The character made his debut in the 1960s, and many fans are looking forward to this origin story being told. It will also give us a better understanding of how Batman’s enemies have changed over the years. Plus, many fans have been asking for a scene where Batman teams up with Superman, and together they save the world. It seems like Batman vs. Superman will answer all of our questions regarding the state of the superhero genre in the modern day. It will be an interesting exploration into the psychology of a super villain.
3. The Villains Are As Bad-Ass As Expected
Based on the recent trailer, we know that Lex Luthor will be the primary antagonist of the movie. The character was last seen in 2013’s The Man of Steel, but it seems like he’s been preparing for this rematch all along. In the trailer, we see him wearing a rather distinctive purple suit with yellow pants. He also carries what appears to be a Kryptonite revolver. This villain is clearly a force to be reckoned with, but he won’t be the only baddie we’ll see. There are also hints of previous foes such as the Riddler and General Zod in the trailer. We’ll have to wait until September 12 to know for sure, but it looks like Batman vs. Superman will bring back some old villains and introduce new ones.
Overall, the trailer gives an okay idea of what the movie will entail. It will be a combination of action and adventure with breathtaking visuals. It will also shed some much needed light on the state of the superhero genre in the modern day. As a fan of the Batman and Superman franchises, I can’t wait to see how all these legendary characters interact. It will be an exciting showdown between two of cinema’s greatest heroes.
