And although we saw Cavill in a behind-the-scenes image of him as Clark Kent, this wasn't quite the one we were hoping for.
Until today.
Warner Bros has released the first official image from Dawn of Justice. The image, debuted by USA Today, suggests a much darker tone than Man of Steel:
Here, we see a more serious Superman than perhaps we would have expected. That's not to say the entire film will be this tonally dark, but Snyder's decision to move Supes into the 21st Century was one reason why we loved MofS so much. The image gives us hints to the story's plot as well: looking at the city in the background, we see something very different from the cleaner Metroplis, most of which was destroyed by Zod and Superman during their climactic battle. We see smoke stacks, and an uneven skyline.
You know what this means: we're seeing our first glimpse of Snyder's Gotham. Synder apparently doesn't seem worried about putting him in new conditions, stating recently:
"We've both created this guy and we can push I'm around a little bit," says Snyder. "The more time I spend with Henry, the more he's Superman to me."
During the interview, Snyder also talked about introducing Batman into the film, confirming that the pictures he leaked this Spring are acurate to his and Actor Ben Affleck's take on the Caped Crusader:
"it's cooler to see a crusty old Batman beating the snot out of guys."
Dawn of Justice is likely to feature some of the biggest names in comics, from Wonder Woman and Cyborg to Lex Luthor, and Snyder has no problem with that, stating:
"You can talk all you want about other superhero movies, but it's Batman and Superman, let's just be honest," he says. "I don't know how you get bigger than that."
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set for its USrelease on 6 May 2016.
