Wonder Woman Takes Center Stage in New Promo Art for 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice'

Wonder Woman will have a relatively significant role in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the Amazonian princess is the subject of some new promo art for the film.

Check out the images here to see Gal Gadot's character in focus.

We already knew the basic plot of the movie, but now the first official synopsis for the film has been released thanks to Collider! Read all about it:

"Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before."

It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's nice to have an official description finally.

When the trailer for this movie released several weeks ago, fans noticed some shots of what appeared to be the Dark Knight brandishing a rifle. As we all know, Batman doesn't use guns, so what's the deal? A new report claims to know the story and how he plans to take on Superman in a fight.

Heroic Hollywood reports that the rifle is actually a spear laced with kryptonite. The site does not go into any further detail, but this would track with Batman's clever fighting style.

In other news, In related Wonder Woman news, former Latino Review and current Heroic Hollywood scooper El Mayimbe reports Wonder Woman is actually centuries old in the movie. This would lend some credence to the rumors that the Wonder Woman solo film would be a prequel to the rest of the DC Cinematic Universe.

Also, a recent rumor about Dawn of Justice is a juicy one that, if true, could explain a lot of what we have heard about the film so far. The rumor involves Jared Leto's version of The Joker from the upcoming Suicide Squad.

Noted spoiler and scoop site Latino-Review reports that Leto will appear as the famous villain in a flashback scene in Dawn of Justice to recreate an iconic scene from the comics in which Joker beats Jason Todd, aka Robin, to death, likely with a crowbar. This would explain the reports that Ben Affleck's version of Batman had given up crimefighting until Superman's emergence, and it would also explain why the Joker is apparently in jail during Suicide Squad.

Leto reportedly filmed scenes for both Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad while in Toronto. Furthermore, the site reported that Affleck would show up briefly in Suicide Squad, and we've seen this to be true with images of the Batmobile spotted in the Canadian city. Finally, Robin's costume will apparently be on display in a glass case in the Batcave in Dawn of Justice.
