Unused Batman V Superman Posters Revealed

A pair of posters that were not used in Warner Bros. official marketing campaign for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have surfaced online.

They offer close-ups of the title characters. One has a rage-filled Superman (Henry Cavill) with glowing red eyes, preparing to unleash a powerful burst of his heat vision. The second poster features The Dark Knight (Ben Affleck), unshaven and looking angry, inside of his Batman-armor — with glowing eyes as well.

Check out both posters in our gallery at the bottom of the page.

From director Zack Snyder ("Man of Steel") comes "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," starring Oscar winner Ben Affleck ("Argo") as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Henry Cavill ("Man of Steel," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.") as Superman/Clark Kent in the characters' first big-screen pairing.

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film also stars Oscar nominees Amy Adams ("American Hustle," "Man of Steel") as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network") as Lex Luthor, Diane Lane ("Unfaithful," "Man of Steel") as Martha Kent, and Laurence Fishburne ("What's Love Got to Do with It," "Man of Steel") as Perry White; Oscar winners Jeremy Irons ("Reversal of Fortune") as Alfred, and Holly Hunter ("The Piano") as Senator Finch; and Gal Gadot (the "Fast and Furious" films) as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince.

Snyder directed from a screenplay written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer, based on characters from DC Comics, including Batman, created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, and Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film is produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder, with Wesley Coller, Geoff Johns and David S. Goyer serving as executive producers. Snyder's behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Larry Fong ("300," "Watchmen") and production designer Patrick Tatopoulos ("300: Rise of an Empire"), and from his "Man of Steel" team, editor David Brenner, costume designer Michael Wilkinson and visual effects supervisor John "DJ" DesJardin. The music is by Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer ("The Lion King," "Man of Steel") and Junkie XL ("Mad Max: Fury Road").

The Ultimate Edition cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice will arrive on Blu-ray and Digital HD on July 15th and cost you $30.
