There tends to be a very quick price drop when it comes to Warner blu rays (I remember Mad Max & San Andreas experiencing a massive discount a few weeks after their release.). Man of Steel is still available, so I guess this one won't sell out rapidly... Yet the Fnac exclusive might sell out quickly.
Great! Thanks for the info.
Any other bonus on that fnac other than the OST?
Yes I love the artwork, l like it much better then the upside down artwork that US/Canada and HMV will have
no only hope this will have dutch subs
no only hope this will have dutch subs
I have stuck an pre order in for now but hopefully will see actual photos before release date and payment is taken
This could still turn out to be same artwork as rest of europe so I will be hopeful at the moment if artwork different to WWA release

@Apollon Another one!
But that's the artwork I want! 
I squeezed the hell out of my wallet and warned it, "Tell me... do you bleed? YOU WILL!"
Warner (France) has on occasion released Steelbooks with unique artwork exclusive to the French release ("The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" / "Blade Runner"). So, it's always possible that the French Steelbook will have this artwork. However, there have been numerous examples of when the listings for some of Warner's French Steelbooks have initially displayed images of exclusive artwork ("The Dark Knight" / "The Matrix" / "Mad Max"), only for them to be subsequently altered to that used by everyone else. It's going to be a case of wait and see.
Even if Warner (France) does go with this artwork, there are caveats. The film was released in France with its title translated into French, "Batman v Superman: L'aube de la justice". If the Steelbook is indeed unique to France, then it will probably bear that title on both the front and the spine, as shown in the above image. This wouldn't bother me but there are many here, for whom any wording in a language other than English, would put this release beyond the pale.
A second problem with recent 3D releases from Warner (France), ("Mad Max: Fury Road" / "In the Heart of the Sea"), is that the 3D disc has only included a Dolby Atmos track in French, with the English track being a mere Dolby DD+7.1. In the case of the latter film, even the 2D disc only had a Dolby Atmos track in French.
I'm puzzled as to why Warner has decided to resurrect these flipper style Steelbooks. There were a number of such releases from Warner (Germany) back in 2009, when German Steelbooks had printed FSK logos on the front. Warner's answer to the complaints was to introduce the 'Wende-Steelbook', which had identical artwork on the back but without the FSK logo. Collectors didn't like them either and the idea sank into oblivion, until now.
It's really quite remarkable that Warner hasn't gone with the idea of two matching Steelbooks for this title, one with Batman on the front and one with Superman. It would obviate the need for a flipper and would undoubtedly increase their sales, since many collectors would double dip to get both.

déjàvu: in the past years french WB steelbooks got WEA, but they were G1 and with a printed banner 
My God it's very clear this isn't the final version. I mean look at it, there's a disclaimer tagline at the bottom of the steel.
This is going to be WWA, and FNAC exclusive is going to have WWA+the OST slipped into the steelbook. I really don't see Warner doing anything different for one country.
