Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A new poster has leaked purportedly showing Ben Affleck's Batman v Superman character, and the hilarity of a man who dresses as a bat and is really serious about it is still not lost.

The photo surfaced on a website called JPosters, which claims it was the one used to create the recent IMAX poster (seems legit).

The suit in the image does look to be the same as the one in the trailer, and is reminiscent of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, which director Zack Snyder has repeatedly said was a big influence for him on the film.

Ben why are you so serious! You have pointy ears and a cute cape!

The first trailer for the movie arrived last week after leaking online, being pretty sombre in tone and focusing on some rain-drenched, lightning-struck parking lot beef between the caped crusader and Henry Cavill's Superman.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits cinemas on 25 March, 2016.
