New Low-Res Photo teases Next JL Villain?

 

czlrsq2w0aee69mNew low-resolution photos from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have slowly been making there way online over the last few hours. These new photos have been scanned in from the new issue of Empire Magazine. These photos reveal a few new scenes from Batman v Superman. As soon as high resolution versions of the new pictures are available they will be posted on this website.

One photo in particular has begun blowing up the internet. If you look closely as Batman stares off into the distance overlooking a canyon and what is revealed appears to be the Omega symbol. Now why is that symbol important? Well, if you know your Superman super-villain lore you should be aware that Darkseid uses this symbol to represent those in which he sees as vulnerable.

So is this mere coincidence? Is Zack Snyder trying to plant the seeds for the next villain in Justice League? Will Darkseid make a brief appearance in BvS? So many questions have been popping up over this one photo so it looks like we will have to wait and find out on March 25th.

 

 

Snyder Leaving Batman for Detective Comics?

 

 

2312193-scott_snyder

According to a report on Bleeding Cool News, Scott Snyder who has been writing the main title on Batman for the last 5 years and garnered an amazing relaunch of Batman during the era of the New 52 will be heading to the secondary Batman title Detective Comics.

The thought process behind this move according to that Bleeding Cool report states that “the decision to switch books is more likely to be remove Snyder from the event driven nature of some modern comics and of the pressure of writing the lead Batbook.”

Now that Summer 2016 will see another re-launch of titles at DC Comics called “Rebirth,” fans will be getting across the board back to ZERO comics. This will also include a bi-weekly comic from the main title on Batman as well. Other main titles will see a bi-weekly book, but details on which main titles those will be have yet to be released.

Details about this are subject to change as no word from DC or Snyder about this potential move have officially come from them. However, now that Greg Capullo is taking a break from penciling Batman comics to work on a Mark Millar project this rumor seems to have some merit to it. Look for full details come from DC as Summer slowly looms.

Batman v Superman Soundtrack Revealed

81AYrmkPYiL._SL1500_

The 2-CD deluxe package, the digital deluxe version, and the 3-disc deluxe vinyl set feature over 90 minutes of music, five bonus tracks, an exclusive fold-out poster and liner notes from the composers. Additionally, the vinyl set features etched vinyl art and an album download card.

“Junkie XL is an incredibly insightful film composer. It was a perfect idea for us to work together on the ‘Batman v Superman’ score,” explained Academy-Award-winning composer Zimmer. Grammy nominee Junkie XL showed equal excitement at the pairing, saying, “Hans has an incredible legacy, and I was extremely thrilled when he approached me to work on ‘Batman v Superman’ with him.”

The composers discussed their close working relationship with director Zack Snyder. “Zack allows us to try things we haven’t tried before. He’s very supportive of the eccentricities that we bring to this,” says Zimmer. Junkie XL concurred. “He’s very open and accepting of our ideas, and infuses the creative process with an energy that inspires you.”

“Hans and Tom (Junkie XL) created an incredibly compelling and interesting new musical world for Batman, while continuing to expand on the amazing world and themes Hans had previously created for Superman,” noted director Zack Snyder. “By aligning their vision with my perspective and seeing the characters anew through the lens of the film they were able to support the visual aspects of movie in a way that elevates the film to another level. In so many ways, they become the final texture, the final note in the process of creating the world.”

“This electrifying collaboration brings us such brilliant new character themes,” commented WaterTower Music head Jason Linn, “While we’ve been fortunate to work several times with both composers individually, this experience has been uniquely thrilling.”
