'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' News Update: First Posters Revealed
Warner Bros. has released three new posters to "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
The studio released the first three posters to the highly anticipated film with Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman all getting individual artwork. Each poster also has different logos and each hero is dressed in their suits. However, there is one major difference between the men's posters and the woman's poster.
For some reason, Batman and Superman's chests are covered by their logos and their legs are cut off. On the other hand, Wonder Woman's chest is fully exposed as well as her legs. It is clear that from these images the studio is trying to appeal to younger male audiences especially, giving it a sexy look.
Hollywood has attempted to present women as objects of desire and this poster only confirms it. To top it off, in the trailers Lex Luthor's assistant is also dressed with miniskirts and suits that emphasize the cleavage and Wonder Woman's suit is extremely revealing. Compare her suit to Batman and Superman's and it is very clear what the intention is with Wonder Woman's portrayal.
"Batman v Superman" tells the story of the aftermath of Superman's emergence and the fears of Bruce Wayne, who decides to takes on Metropolis' most revered savior. In the mix, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor appear to create more chaos.
"Batman v Superman" is the second film in the DC universe following the success of "Man of Steel." Warner Bros. will next release a "Justice League" film as well as a Wonder Woman film.
The film stars Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenberg, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Jason Momoa, Diane Lane and Jeremy Irons. The film is set to be released on March 25, 2016.
