Entertainment Weekly's special San Diego Comic-Con issue contains plenty of new details from Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the magazine (via ComicBook.com) have provided some tantilasing descriptions of three scenes. The first is set within Wayne Manor, described as a "derelict husk" with "strewn leaves across the floor."
Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and his loyal butler, Alred (Jeremy Irons), are gravely intoning their lines into a burned-out fireplace, as Bruce prepares for his Valley of Elah moment with Superman. The billionaire vigilante appears weary but determined, not unlike the actor portraying him.
The second description is of the massively anticipated showdown between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel, Superman (Henry Cavill).
In his editing suite in Pasadena last month, Snyder showed off early passes of the money sequence, a rainy rooftop battle between the two capes. There's an undeniable thrill to watching these pop culture icons go at it--throwing each other through walls and skylights.
The final scene delves into Batman's motivation in the film, as he and Alfred discuss the implications of taking on such a powerful force as Superman.
Snyder also reveals a scene in the Batcave where Bruce Wayne outlines his motivations to a skeptical Alfred, a bit of realpolitik reasoning that weighs the morality of a preemptive strike on Superman against even the minimal chance of humanity's destruction.
So, nothing too detailed, but exciting nonetheless! What do you make of these descriptions?
