We Might See The First BATMAN V SUPERMAN Teaser Next Month
Superhero films continue to be big business in Hollywood, but Warner Bros. is hoping to kick-start a whole new series of films with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016. Because Marvel has proven to be so successful even when branching out into weirder properties, I think it's pretty obvious that Dawn of Justice has the most riding on it out of any of the upcoming superhero movies. If this experiment fails, a lot of WB's future plans crumble alongside it. But let's be honest: whether the movie is good or not, it's going to make a ton of money because it will be the first time Batman and Superman will share the screen in live action on this kind of scale.
We've known about the film for what seems like forever, but when will we finally get to see a glimpse of actual footage from Zack Snyder's movie? Rumor has it the first teaser trailer is attached to WB's Jupiter Ascending, which is slated to hit theaters in a little less than a month on February 6th, 2015. El Mayimbe at Latino-Review seems to think it's happening, and he's a pretty good source of info when it comes to Batman v Superman:
We're not sure if he has his own sources who are tipping him off with that info, or if he got his lead from a new site called The Projection List, a fantastic new resource for film nerds like us that cleanly lists information about upcoming films ranging from release dates to genre and much more. The site, which just launched yesterday, also has a "trailers" section with projected release dates for upcoming film trailers, and they peg Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with the same potential date of February 6th.
It makes sense, especially considering how Warner Bros. unceremoniously bumped the Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending onto the 2015 release calendar and how there isn't really a lot of buzz surrounding the film right now. What better way to get people to go see the film than attaching one of the most anticipated trailers of the year to it? We'll see how all of this plays out, but this theory sounds solid to me, so we could be seeing clips of Ben Affleck facing off against Henry Cavill in just under thirty days.
