New ‘Batman v Superman’ gloom-look courtesy of Empire Magazine cover
THE RED CAPES ARE COMING, THE RED CAPEZ ARE COMI…*VOMITS EXISTENTIAL GRIEF EVERYWHERE*
While it’s not a new set of official stills from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the opposing duo appear on the cover of Empire magazine, giving us a fresh look at the heroes and their costumes from Zack Snyder’s upcoming superhero showdown. As you might expect, Ben Affleck’s Batman looks quite grumpy, while Henry Cavill’s Superman looks positively optimistic and ready to save the world — or defend himself against it.
Empire’s latest cover features Affleck and Cavill in costume as the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel, respectively, giving us a better look at the costumes of both characters. Of particular note is Batman’s extreme bulk — he looks almost as ‘roided out as Tom Hardy did when he played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. There’s no way that’s Affleck’s body, even if he committed to intense training regimen, which he likely did. Look at him compared to Cavill! He’s a monster.
