on 'Batman v Superman' has taken over The Grove in Los Angeles (photos)

Marketing is really starting to ramp up for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice now! We saw giant banners in New York and now the movie has taken over The Grove in Los Angeles with brand new posters.

We've seen the Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman posters, and even a hint of Lex Luthor from the soundtrack, but now Alfred and Lois Lane have their own posters too! Hopefully they get released online soon because they look pretty cool.

Henry Cavill News spotted the new marketing last night. It's all in the parking garage of The Grove, and you see it as soon as you pull in. There's even a big LCD display near the elevators. Check it all out in the gallery below.

          To be fair, there have been comic versions of the character that incorporate both of these elements simultaneously.

            Yea I know, but since there's seems to be a alot of things happening in this movie, i want Alfred to actually do something and have a great part in the story, i like the butler thing but to be honest its boring and a waste of screen time, but making him a more of a 'helping hand', Alfred would be more interesting to watch.

    Besides the first 3 character posters, I don't really care for the promotional art for this film. It's really lacking to me and leans more on the line of promo art for merchandise than a film. I'd prefer the posters to be more like the TDKR banners, where it looks like it's taken in real time, like a still of a fight scene, something really dynamic and epic.

        They already have one with Batman and Superman facing off its even in the article but I'm guessing you didn't like that. But they are not going to market the one with the 3 of them for sure that would be kinda stupid and horrible.

        1. Memorian Avatar
          Memorian

          I don't see why a poster with all 3 of them would be stupid/horrible since they've already made character posters to promote the 3 characters.... Besides I didn't mean I wanted that EXACT image, even though I think it's cool. I meant I liked the look of it compared to the official posters.

            It would be best for them not to market any more of the 3 of them united.

    That Forbes article really puts things in perspective

    Best paragraph
    How healthy? Well, since fans love comparisons, try this on for size: Man of Steel made more money than any of the solo character Marvel films up to that point, except for Iron Man 3. To date, only three of the entire non-Avengers slate of Marvel films have made more box office than Man of Steel — Iron Man 3, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy. The other seven Marvel solo character films all took less than Man of Steel, and that’s despite the advantage of having an entire universe built up and sequels and Avengers coattails. I’m not trash-talking Marvel, as I love Marvel and they clearly are the champs of superhero cinema right now, and they’re success is phenomenal. I’m just saying, for anyone who likes to imagine Man of Steel was just some failure upon which no success could be built, that’s nothing but a fantasy.

      I think my favorite one was this one

      "Which is why, if Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a hit, I think The Batman has better than even odds of releasing in 2018, to capitalize on the success. But if Batman v Superman underperforms, then… well, then I think The Batman has better than even odds of releasing in 2018, as part of the studio’s adjusting and tweaking of their plans. So for now, there seems to be a good chance you’ll see a Batman solo movie in 2018 if the studio and Affleck can come to terms to make it happen, regardless of Batman v Superman’s performance."

        You could of just called me a cynic !

        Watchmen was a faithful adaptation no doubt ! But a dull movie IMO !

        And I resent you calling me a cynic .... I love movies as much as the next guy and want every movie I see to be as good as it can be !

        Especially a movie involving Batman !

        But I'm not going to be a blind sheep and bury my head in the sand and pretend BVS is gonna be great when the guy in charge has a body of work that is questionable to say the least .

        I don't like Snyders work based off viewing his actual work ! You guys are loveing on BVS based on blind faith that you hope it's great !

          Or perhaps people love Snyder's old work, have loved the trailers, see that Ben Affleck and Chris Terrio, two Oscar winning, insanely talented people helped construct the movie, and are excited accordingly? Thinking something will be great off evidence and excitement isn't a crime, it's what ordinary people do.

          You know, just because you disagree, and you're cynical and pessimistic, that doesn't suddenly make your opinions instantly superior to everyone else's.

          Exactly. IN YOUR OPINION. Maybe other people have a different perspective than you do and have complete faith in Snyder. Believe it or not some people like all of Snyders work! I know! Blasphemy right?! Maybe people have faith in BvS bc they genuinely enjoy his work and are impressed w what theyve seen and heard! Dear god! Freakin people! Why cant people like Marvel & DC movies?! Why is this so damn outlandish a concept?! And why cant people have have differing preferences?!?!... And finally if people wanna freakin follow on blind faith... ITS STILL THEIR DAMN CHOICE!!! Doesnt make them right doesnt make u right! Its each individuals choice and you saying anyone is wrong in anything they believe in only makes you the wrong one. How is your opinion better or more important than anyone elses? Just so sick of this.

          I really liked 300 and Dawn of the Dead and gotta say, he hasn't made a film on par with those films since. I thought Watchmen was meh, like you said, faithful adaptation but as a film itself, it was kinda whatever. I thought Man of Steel had some of his best work in it but as a whole, just didn't hit home for me. I thought it had some real choppy storytelling (Could it be the writing and not the direction or Snyder not being able to tell a fully formed story?) Not sure about that yet. Hopefully Chris Terrio is the answer.

    Here's a little prediction -- when this movie succeeds, the haters will switch to claiming that it would be even better if Snyder didn't direct it, and that we have purely Affleck and Terrio to thank for its success.

    On a side note: Hitfix deleted my comment on their "DC is worried about BVS" article. What's the point of journalism if you can't at least defend your article? I didn't swear, bash, or berate them in any way. I merely challenged their so called "report."

    I've heard the negative bs debate about this movie. Honestly, nothing and I mean NADA will stop me from seeing this movie. Comicbook fan or not, marvel or dc fan. I find it funny that the negativity/hate can affect someone.
    I got a "friend" on fb. A die hard marvel iron man fan saying the only thing he dislikes about bvs is that they are rushing it. Craming too much into it lol
    We are all entitled to our opinion but NO MAMES WEY! Let DC do their's. No way in hell will they follow the marvel formula.
    I'm no comic book geek but chit I appreciate everything we are getting from this movie so far.

    We are living in the greatest moments of our lives! Why nit pick the dumb shit. I could care less if ben is banging chicks left and right. How much bvs will sell opening week. Gtfoh.Give me a dope movie lol Man of Steel was dope. No focking way will snyder and company will screw this up.

    I don't own a marvel movie and I don't care about it. I don't waste my time bashing a marvel fan. Ant man was good. I enjoyed it! I couldn't picture myself bashing civil war. I'm 28 years old. I will never understand the hate.Enjoy these movies man!

    off topic: this might be superman using his solar flare to defeat doomsday. sacrificing his powers to save the world, thus gaining the planet's and batman's trust and respect. many metahumans including the flash go public, put emblems on their chests out of admiration for superman and to keep his mission alive.

    1. The Filth Avatar
      The Filth

      That's good theory! If "Is She With You?" is the music that plays during the final battle with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, that would fit the later portion of the song where "Sent Here For A Reason" plays. It sounds like something emotional happens with Superman there and solar flare would fit perfectly.

        think so too. killing him would be a little to much imo. im pretty sure this film will establish superman as the figure of hope and inspiration we know and love. his side of the story has been a complete mystery till now

    2. Akil Manaz Avatar

      Maybe, but Superman gained that ability last year in the comics, and Chris Terrio finished his work on the BvS script in late-2013 to early-2014.

        true that. book's written by geoff johns and he's involved in this film's production. we dont know when the idea of this superpower was first conceived. im spit-balling anyway. this definitely isnt diana blocking doomsdays blast

          Yeah, I did think about that - Geoff Johns' involvement, but there was a huge gap between when they finished the script and when Superman's new power was revealed.
