Everything looks great!
And with Bruce oggling WW that way, it's no wonder he'll run into trouble with Big Blue...

Difference is, Affleck isn't wearing pants.Looks like the tradition of the fancy party scene continues...
He does look weird and almost funny to me there. Definitely not the scary, mysterious vibe they're going for in the trailer. On the other hand, it looks like the typical Marvel Studios movie poster.I think that cover is horrible! Cheesy as hell, yeah EW strikes again. Batman looks embarrassed.
But hey what do I know.

I think WW and Superman look great. I hope they go New 52 and they are a couple in the movie universe.
Batman does look a bit out of place on the cover.
Looking forward to this week's Entertainment Weekly
He's like Hamlet because. . .lots of different actors portray him? When Gotham was supposed to look miserable, it did? And good is the new bad? What the f is he talking about? Those 'roids may have seeped into Batfleck's brain.Take that MCU haters:
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman on the cover, and within its pages new images from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* as well as a couple of quotes from the lead actors - including a great one from Ben Affleck about how dour Gotham City looks in this movie:
“When it was supposed to look rainy and miserable, it had to be rainy and miserable,” says Affleck. “The long dark night of the soul and whatnot.”He also compares Batman to Hamlet, in a meta way:
“Batman is basically the American version of Hamlet,” Affleck says. “We accept that he’s played by actors with different interpretations.”Fair enough!
Affleck says that this movie will be very different from Daredevil because of what Marvel has accomplished in the intervening years.
“That was before people realized you could make these movies and make them well. There was a cynical sense of ‘Put a red leather outfit on a guy, have him run around, hunt some bad guys, and cash the check.’Breaking: movie will be good, not bad!
“They really learned how to make this stuff work. Good is the new bad.”
Much of EW's coverage of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice treads old ground, with the cast and director discussing various aspects of the movie and their characters that we've heard before - but, there are a few intriguing new details too. For example, Zack Snyder reveals that he originally envisioned a less than subtle way of introducing Kryptonite into the DCCU that would have occurred at the end of Man Of Steel.
“I said, ‘What about at the end of the movie we do a scene where there’s a crate full of kryptonite delivered to Wayne Manor,’” Snyder told the mag. “Everyone was like…‘Okaay.’ Once you say it out loud it’s a problem because you can’t unsay it.” Probably best that didn't happen! However, Snyder must have figured out another way to incorporate the lethal (well, to Superman at least) green rock into Dawn Of Justice, as this excerpt that accompanied the image above confirms."If you’re going toe-to-toe with the son of Jor-El, you better come correct. For his climactic rooftop brawl with Superman, Batman outfits himself with a reinforced mech-suit equipped with strength-augmenting armor and, yes, kryptonite. The design resembles the one used for the confrontation between these two in Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns."
Most fans assumed that'd be the case, but it's nice to know for certain that Bats will be delivering some serious Kryptonite-aided blows to Supes in the film. Much has been made of this iteration of Batman being quite a bit older and "world weary", and Ben Affleck reiterates this during his portion of the interview. “He’s on the verge of being swallowed up by the anger and the rage that we see haunt this character in the other manifestations of it,” he said. “But this guy is further down the line and has become more embittered and cynical.”
We also know that in this movie, the people of Earth have pretty much turned against Superman and see him as more of a threat than a savoir, and Henry Cavill comments on this. “I like to think that 'Man of Steel' was the perspective of the world from Clark, Kal-El, looking at the world and trying to exist with in it,” he explains. “'Batman v Superman' is definitely more mankind’s perspective of Superman.”
