Despite a rash of negative reviews,Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicestill managed to be a big hit on opening weekend, debuting with $166.1 million. Warner Bros. isn’t wasting any time moving to the next DC adventure, with production onJustice Leagueset to begin on April 11 at Levesden Studios in the U.K. There is very little we know about the story thus far. But today, on the latest episode of Heroic Insider,Umberto Gonzalezdropped a tantalizing tidbit about the movie, revealing thatBen Affleck’s Batman will have an intriguing vehicle never before seen on screen. There will be potential SPOILERS forBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicebelow, so read on at your own risk.
Along with bringing Superman (Henry Cavill), Batman (Ben Affleck) andWonder Woman(Gal Gadot) together,Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justicealso introduced us to the remainingJustice Leaguemembers,Aquaman(Jason Momoa),The Flash(Ezra Miller) andCyborg(Ray Fisher). DirectorZack Snyderteased last week thatBruce Waynewill be the one who brings theJustice Leaguetogether, and in doing so, Bruce/Batman will be using a new vehicle: a submarine.
Batman will reportedly use this submarine on a journey to Atlantis to track downAquaman. This report also claims thatAquamanand his followers in Atlantis don’t exactly get along withWonder Womanand her Amazon warriors, due to a “thousand year conflict.” It isn’t known how much this conflict will be explored in Justice League Part 1, or if bothAquamanandWonder Womancould show up in each other’s movies.
What also isn’t terribly clear at this point is how long Superman will be “dead” for inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. TheMan of Steelsacrificed himself by driving a Kryptonite spear throughDoomsday, who managed to fatally injure Superman before he died. DuringClark Kent’s funeral, Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince teased the formation of theJustice League. The final shot of the movie showed particles of dirt levitate off of Clark’s casket, teasing the he’s not actually dead.
Since Bruce Wayne will be assembling theJustice Leaguewithout Superman’s help, and while Kal-El will obviously come “back from the dead” at some point, we’re not entirely sure when that will happen. Are you looking forward to Batman driving a submarine in Justice League Part 1? Chime in with your thoughts, and stay tuned for more on Justice League Part 1, as we get close to production starting in just a few weeks?
