Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Official Teaser Trailer

[bat1987]

Minus the "Do you bleed" line, I liked this a lot.

False God premise is an interesting one. Affleck might be the coolest looking live-action Batman yet. Seems that he's using voice modulator of some sorts. Might be just for the DKR armor he's wearing. Also don't mind the darker tone of it all. Let Marvel do their own thing, and DC theirs.

[HarryTrotter]

Bat-armor kinda reminds me on the one Bane wore in Arkham War.I am getting a bit bored with everything being darker,edgier and more realistic,however.

[Tomato]

I'll be getting the action figures for this for sure, Batman looks epic and I'm fond of most of the others. As for the premise... Ehhhhhhhhh... We'll see. I'm willing to give it a fair shake, but I've never cared for TDKR, which is where Snyder is getting much of his input.

[JeyNyce]

I'm thinking that people are seeing Supes as a God and Bats is going to knock him down a bit, but if I could give this movie another title, it would be Grumpy Old Men.

[spydermann93]

If that's the case, I'm wondering why Batman needs to do anything to Superman.

Superman never seemed like he let power get to his head in the Man of Steel movie.  I guess in this movie, it seems like that the power does get to his head (which is BS), or he's trying to stop a certain somebody and gets played as a 'villain' and Batman thinks that he needs to step in to stop him.

Perhaps Superman will be working with the government?  I could've sworn that it was said that the government sees Batman as a terrorist, so if Superman is working with the government, it would make sense for him to be sent to go deal with Batman, but that's not what I'm getting from these trailers.

Even if people are worshipping Superman as a "God" and some others are calling him a "False God", why would Batman care?  Isn't he just concerned about keeping the people of Gotham safe?  Is he fighting Superman just to convince everybody that he's not a god just so people stop causing anarchy in Gotham?  What's is the point of having these two fight?  I don't get it.

Awesome trailer that makes some sense.  It doesn't matter how much good superman would do, because his very existence would cause mass controversy. 

How many Superman stories have there been where he just makes one mistake in a press statement and suddenly it's used against him?  I'm guessing this movie plays off of one of those stories.

Better yet...

NO COUNTRY FOR GRUMPY OLD MEN.

DeAndre Jordan Gets Sneak Peek at New Batmobile

[bat1987]

All 3 of them look fantastic! Superman's outfit is a way better modern take on the costume than new 52 (not that big on the belt though), WW is a nice take on the comic look now that we can see the color of the battledress as well. Batman is by far the best looking live-action batsuit IMO (if I had to nitpick, I'd slightly alter the symbol and have lenses on the cowl at all times).

Great work on the costumes really .

[Shogunn2517]

So, I guess it should be no big spoiler that Lex Luthor is the main antagonist of this movie.  However, there is some recent news...

Spoiler

Apparently Doomsday will be the "muscle" in this film much like Darth Vader was in the original Star Wars.

http://comicbook.com/2015/05/17/batman-v-superman-details-on-doomsday-a-dream-sequence-/

Does he kill Superman?  Probably not.  Does it sound like what Nolan did with The Dark Knight Rises and mesh two or three storylines into one movie?  Possibly.  There are a LOT of moving parts to this movie so far.  A lot.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Comic-Con Trailer [HD]

[BWPS]

Looks a lot better than anything we've seen so far, it might be a fun movie after all.

[spydermann93]

My only problem is that I can't take Eisenburg seriously.

All I can think of is "Zombieland".  Great movie

[Shogunn2517]

I got a question.

Paying careful attention,  we see Bruce Wayne telling someone (Alfred) 20 years of fighting how many good guys are left.  Then we are shown a close up of Robin's costume with "Ha Ha Ha Jokes on you Batman".  Which means or tells me at least sometime over the last 20 years the Joker (Leto) has killed Robin?  Which might have been a reason for Batman's retirement?

I am wondering about any timeline issues going on?  Did the Joker just kill Robin?  If so how long did Batman stay away?  Did he kill him years ago?  If so how old is Jared Leto's joker supposed to be?

I'm guessing that the suit belonged to Jason Todd.  Dick Grayson has already grown up and moved on, I'm guessing.

Somebody was wondering if those messages were even real and if Bruce is going insane.  Probably not, but it would be interesting.

What made me super happy is the fact that we see Superman doing actual Superman things like SAVING PEOPLE! He's actually being Superman!  And what's with Ma telling him that "he doesn't owe the world anything?"  Even if it is true, she would not be the type of person to say something like that.  I'm glad that it seems like Superman just ignored that statement.  I want to see a hopeful Superman.  One that is willing to go the distance to do what's right.  We caught glimpses of that in Man of Steel, and I want to see that expanded upon.

[Tomato]

Jared Leto is 43, about the same age as Affleck, so its not unreasonable to assume they've both been at it for awhile. I'm sure we'll get a bit more from the film.

That said... Hrm to dead Robin. Another thing to throw on the "plot points I don't care for" pile this thing is amassing.

[BentonGrey]

Wow!  I didn't really think that I could have less interest in this movie.  They're really creating the Anti-Benton film here. 

[JeyNyce]

Great trailer, but my only gripe is Bruce is retired and was fighting way before Clark became Superman.  Sure make him more experience, but 20 years worth?  Why couldn't they meet up like in the animated series "World's Finest"?  I'm still going to see it but with Bats being so "advance" it feels like he has a timer on him.  "I'm getting too old for this crap Clark!"

[BentonGrey]

Ohh, and Eisenburg as Luthor is just...it seems like a bad fan film.  He's utterly wrong for the character.

Batman is too old and Lex is too young.  I wonder how the rest of the JL will play out?

[SickAlice]

The trailer looked alright and half baked to me at the same time if that somehow makes any sense? I cared about Wonder Woman more than anything else going on in it. Agreed about Eisenburg here. Like his presence, loathe him already as Luthor.

[stumpy]

There's lots to say about that trailer. But, regarding just one part of it, I think the following would be a better version of that clip of the Senate hearing.

<after highlighting the destruction shown in MoS at a hearing in which Superman is the subject target>
[...]
Committee Chair, Senator Blowhard: Let the record show that this committee holds him responsible.
Superman: So, let's summarize the facts of recent events and this committee's findings. Hostile beings of unimaginable power came to Earth with a terraforming machine to transform this planet in a way that would essentially wipe out the human population. I put my life at risk to aid Earth's forces to stop their apocalyptic scheme and then fight them off, eventually killing their leader. Now, this committee says that that it holds me responsible for the damage?
Committee Chair: Yes. During that fight - which took place in a densely populated city - thousands of lives were lost and property damage in the billions of dollars was done.
Superman: I agree that that was tragic. But, are you claiming that my intentions were to endanger lives or cause property damage?
Committee Chair: No, but fighting in that area was irresponsible.
Superman: I agree. But, unless you are mistakenly under the impression that I chose the venue, I am not sure what your point is. If you want to dig up Zod's body and berate him for his actions, I won't stop you.
Committee Chair: But, you chose to fight Zod here!
Superman: No. I chose to fight Zod, period. He was bent on destroying the Earth. Did you think he would have responded to an engraved invitation to fight him in the desert or on the moon, so as to avoid thousands of casualties when he was clearly ready to cause billions?
Committee Chair: No, but...
Superman: So, what was the suggestion for a better alternative that you put forth at the time of that battle? At the time that it mattered?
Committee Chair: Well, I wasn't involved in that fight. I couldn't...
Superman: Exactly, Senator. When the decision needed to be made, you weren't there. You here now to turn tragedy into votes. You are the ringleader in a political circus designed to blame me for something I didn't do. Something in which my involvement was entirely and inarguably on the side of saving humanity. You are participating in a political stunt whose message is, "Senator Blowhard wants to take down the guy who fought to save us." Quite frankly, I would think your handlers could come up with a better campaign slogan.
Committee Chair: This is outrageous! We are here to find the truth. We summoned you here to answer questions about the destruction of mid-town Metropolis and...
Superman: No, you "summoned" me here to make yourself look good and I am supposed to sit still and look contrite while you pretend that some exercise of political authority could have prevented the tragedy of that day or will prevent a similar one in the future. But, I am not some automotive executive hoping to get billions in taxpayer money if he meekly accepts your accusations and self-righteous proclamations. I am here as a courtesy, but you have no hold on me. I don't have to pretend that this hearing is anything other than the farce that it is.
Committee Chair: That's not what's going on here.
Superman: That's what it seems like to me and I think the American people will see it pretty much the same way. My pa once told me, "If you're trying to get out of a hole, stop digging." So, let me ask: Are we done here, Senator?
Committee Chair: ...
Superman: Fine. Then I will show myself to the door.

[BentonGrey]

Wellllll, that's one interpretation....
