So 10 months before the film is released, Empire magazine gives away a double sided poster for Zack Snyder's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'. The last few times I got posters from Empire it was either the month of or the month before release. So, there was no IMAX screenings for the trailer in the UK(not sure about USA), but I still get the "exclusive" posters anyway. They are quite cool though. This will be the first time when more than one DC superhero appears in the same official live action feature film('The Lego Movie' is animated so it doesn't count) and they are making it happen in a big way by promising a fight between two of the most popular superheroes: Batman and Superman.I do like how in the posters Batman's eyes are covered by the Superman logo and vice versa. It also looks as if the paper has been ripped a few times to show the logos of a past poster. And is it just me or is Superman grinning, although the trailer does make it seem like the world sees him as a villain, I don't think he will actually be portrayed as evil. As he says in 'Man Of Steel' that the S "means hope", so why would he go against that and destroy more iconic fictional cities.
So the advertising campaign started in May, despite coming out in MARCH 2016! It's just as bad as the Star Wars Episode VII having the first trailer come out in November 2014 when it doesn't come out until December this year. THAT'S THIRTEEN MONTHS! Though I really can't complain about seeing footage of either films. Alright, there's all the normal poster stuff: release date(kind of), 3D-ness, studios and social media stuff.
Of course I haven't seen the film but I do like how the trailer has more colour, in a 'Watchmen' style, than 'MoS'(look up if Man Of Steel was in colour on Youtube if you'd like to see more).
EDIT: I have since rewatched 'Man Of Steel and there is more colour than the video says but is still toned down.
Thanks for reading and I would like to add that I own this and any future posters I will review.
