‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’ Update: Leaked Set Photos And Videos Reveal Plot Details
New photos and videos from set of "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" reveal that the movie will feature the famous Wayne Murders scene. Bruce Wayne's parents Thomas and Martha will be seen getting shot down once again on the silver screen.
Batman News reports that photos from Chicago sets confirm the news. According to the aforementioned publication, the first photos of the scene being setup for the filming of Zack Snyder's "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" was taken by Instagram user Dan Marcus. At the time when the source took snaps, the crew was putting together the theatre where the couple was killed by a robber. Bruce Wayne was the witness of his parents' ruthless murder that changed everything for him.
In its updated article, Comic Book Movie reports that Wayne murders scene will be shown as a flashback of Bruce Wayne's tragic backstory. Furthermore, the scene is reportedly going to be depicted just as it is in the comic books. Elaborating on the same, the website explains that in the comics the tragedy takes plus when Martha, Thomas and young Bruce exit from the theatre after watching "The Mark of Zorro." A mugger attacks the family and ends up killing the couple "right in front of" Bruce.
The publication notes that this event has been featured in several Batman movies and TV shows over the years but with some alterations. "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" is said to be the first movie that will not only adapt the exact scene from the comic but also "add the 'The Mark of Zorro' reference"--the iconic character that Bruce Wayne idolised when he was a child.
Also, some videos have surfaced showing the filming of the said scene. Instagram user Dan Marcus and tribluis have uploaded videos giving a glimpse at the Wayne murders scene from "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice." Reports about the Wayne murders scene surfaced first time in October 2014, when Batman News reported that their source Bananadoc was able to capture photos of the cemetery being setup.
"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" stars Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Ben Affleck as Batman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Gal Gadot as Wonderwoman, Diane Lane as Martha Kent and more. The film is scheduled to be released on March 25, 2016.
