Beware first glances! Our MarketSaw friends are warning us!
You may overlook something. Ok, it’s Henry Cavill in his Superman outfit. So what? Well for starters, does that look like Metropolis to you? More like Gotham correct? Yes, it’s the location that counts here and the image certainly does convey the dreariness of the city if it does indeed turn out to be Gotham.
Note the smoking chimneys on the left hand side of the photo. That looks like the industrial revolution to me – and interesting inclusion for the downtown skyline of Gotham. It almost looks out of place, time wise that is. If it is Gotham. Perhaps it’s London in the 1800’s? Let me explain…
Looking down to the small clue that was left in the image: “LF GHO…”- LF is the common abbreviation for “Looking For” and GHO could very well be the first three letters of GHOST – or better known to DC comic fans as “Gentleman Ghost” or Jim Craddock. Craddock was a robber who lived in England during 19th century. Eventually he becomes a phantom and must walk the earth until the spirit of his killer moves on to the next plane of existence. Unfortunately for him – that can’t happen (you can read more via the link at the end of the post).
The point is – he is immortal and has battled both Batman and Superman at various times. In the DC comic universe, Ghost is a member of the Injustice Society. BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE may explore some of the origins story of Ghost – or at least set the stage somewhat. And I’m just saying, that looks like London at SOME point in history. Time and dimensions are not really a problem for Superman as most comic book aficionados know, so he could very well be standing in 1800’s London.
BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE opens on May 6, 2016 starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Momoa, Amy Adams, Holly Hunter, Callan Mulvey, Scoot McNairy, Tao Okamoto, and Jeremy Irons.
