Here’s The Clearest Look At Batman From ‘Batman Vs. Superman’
JPosters has claimed to have exclusively received the below color photo of Batman from the upcoming superhero film Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice. The picture shows a full-on frontal shot of the Dark Knight, although we don’t see some of his arms or any of his legs. But we do get to see his utility belt, which looks very militaristic and scarred, as though it’s been through a great deal.
What’s interesting about this photo is that it shows that the suit is made more of a tightly woven mesh rather than something completely solid, which is what I’m used to seeing all of the other films. This feels like something that has far more mobility and allows for greater movement, although it does bulk up Ben Affleck enormously.
Also something to note, and maybe I’m just seeing things here, but the shape of the mouth opening reminds me a bit of the Joker’s smile. It’s very wide but sharp in the corners, reminiscent of that evil rictus. Readers, if there’s something to it, or even if I’m just being crazy, definitely let me know!
Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which was directed by Zack Snyder, comes out March 25th, 2016. It stars Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
