A possible image of Henry Cavill's new Man of Steel costume for the "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" production has allegedly leaked online.
ComicBookMovie.com has published a photograph of what appears to be a clay bust or mold of Superman's costume. It is unclear where the image was found, but you can check it out for yourself here.
Director Zack Snyder has released the first image of Ben Affleck as Batman, but has yet to reveal Cavill's revamped costume or Gal Gadot's new Wonder Woman armor. Snyder has been keeping production details under wraps, but fellow director Kevin Smith has revealed his theory about the "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" film.
"But look, they're obviously beginning something, and there's a stretch of these flick, and so this is the beginning of the Justice League, as we all suspected as they were announcing that cast," Smith said during a "Hollywood Babble-On" podcast. "We were like, 'This is the beginning of a Justice League movie.' From what I understand now, it's no longer like, 'This is Superman 2.'"
"They're not doing these things," he added. "They're doing like, 'Here's Man of Steel. Here's Batman/Superman: Dawn of Justice.' The next one is not like a sequel to one of the characters. They're just going to keep building their universe for about five or six movies. But all of them...it's supposed to tell one massive story, which is all Justice League oriented."
Smith also revealed during the podcast how he feels about the film's new title.
"It's a bit of a mouthful," Smith explained. "And also, I don't know why Batman V. Superman. Why not just throw the 's' in there? Or spell it or something like that. Or honestly, every comic book fan on the planet, who is a DC comic book fan, I think we all wanted to see Batman/Superman: World's Finest."
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will be released to theaters on May 6, 2016.
