The film, starring Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman has also cast Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa as Aquaman, and will be a springboard for DC's Justice League franchise. Like Marvel, DC is expected to create a cinematic universe where characters star in their own films, but also occasionally team up.

Wednesday night, Dawn of Justice's director Zack Snyder tweeted that there will be "special teaser screening events," on April 20, and that there would be limited space, so RSVP-ing at the film's official website is probably a good idea.
