Casual analysis would suggest it should be the most one-way of fights.But
it looks like the man of steel is going to get more than he bargained
for after new Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice posters showing the
heroes going toe-to-toe were released this weekend.
And
it will surely further whet the appetite of fans eager to know which of
the DC Universe heavyweights will emerge victorious from their amateur
boxing match.
In the
first of the images Ben Affleck's version of Batman is shown winding up a
massive left cross, which he is seemingly hoping to land square on his
rival's kisser.In the other, Henry Cavill's character is getting ready to throw what will surely be a literally earth-shaking right cross.
It has certainly been a big week for fans of the World's Finest superheroes.
For
gentle Ben and Jersey-born beefcake Henry both found a little time for
the ladies in the final trailer for the fiilm, which was unveiled on
Thursday.
While
the vast majority of the two-and-a-half minute clip was spent showing
the World's Finest sparring with each other, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman
and Amy Adam's Lois Lane do each get a brief look in.
For the first time, 30-year-old Gadot speaks, not as Wonder Woman, but as her 'alter ego' Diana Prince.
She can be seen cosying up to an enraptured Bruce Wayne at a swanky party.
'I know a few women like you,' he breathes over her shoulder, before she turns and flashes him a knowing smile.
'Oh I don't think you've ever known a woman like me,' she replies.

Not to be
outdone, Cavill can also be seen climbing fully clothed on top of a
not-so-fully clothed Adams as she giggles in the bath.
The
trailer opens with Jeremy Irons' Alfred Pennyworth piloting the
Batwing, and informing his charge in a very nonchalant tone about the
two dozen hostiles his thermal imaging has detected on the third floor
of the building they are about to pay a visit to.
'Why
don't I drop you off on the second?' he suggests, flipping the Dark
Knight off the nose of the aircraft and through a window, who then
bursts up through the floor and takes out all 24 armed mercenaries with
some breathtaking fight choreography.
I'm
getting slow in my old age Alfred,' he says afterward. 'Even you have
got to old to die young,' his butler tiredly replies, 'and not for lack
of trying.'
The
clip shows some previously seen footage of a horrified Bruce Wayne
watching Superman defeat General Zod during the events of Man Of Steel,
and taking out much of Gotham City in the process.
'He
has the power to wipe out the entire human race,' Affleck can be heard
arguing. 'If we believe there is even a one per cent chance that he is
our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty.
As Batman
is seen rather fruitlessly ramming Superman with the Batmobile, Jesse
Eisenbeg's Lex Luthor declares the matchup 'the greatest gladiator match
in the history of the world: god versus man. Day versus night.'
'You're
psychotic,' Adams tells him. 'That is a three syllable word too big for
any thought too big for little minds,' he rebuffs.
The
trailer also shows more of what fans believe is either a dream sequence
or a set up for the sequel: Batman overlooking a wasteland of what was
once a city, a huge Omega symbol - the motif of DC uber-baddie Darkseid -
carved into the Earth.
The
subsequent flash shows what appears to be Darkseid's Parademon's
attacking a military encampment - seemingly the same camp Batman was
imprisoned beneath when he was unmasked by Superman in a previous
teaser.
'You know the oldest lie in America?' Luthor can be heard asking off screen. 'That power can be innocent.'
But
the trailer saves the best image for last: the look on Son of Krypton's
face when he swings a right hook at the non-superpowered Batman... and
he blocks it.
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice flies into theatres on March 25.
