While the Star Wars trailer made me warm and fuzzy, that Bats/Supes trailer made me die on the inside, lol. :fpalm:

It's an interesting juxtaposition against the Star Wars trailer to be sure. This certainly feels less fun (and it probably should be). I'll be curious to see more for sure. Also, I'll be there opening night. IMAX jd? :)

Much like others are insinuating, compared against the SW release yesterday BVS looks like a epic failure. I wasn't impressed at all.

I think that it's unfair to judge...because the quality is terrible. Unfortunate that it came out the same time as the Star Wars trailer too. It's a little rough...very dark overall(which isn't helped by the quality) and strangely helter skelter. Do they want to tease? Show skylines? Get into story points? or just show random shots of Batfleck? Seems all four. I love me some Snyder but this is not a well designed/edited trailer. Still...'do you bleed?'...'you will', kinda gave me wood. And the overall folding in of Dark Knight style Millerisms also...had blood flowing. If they are going to get into Superman as a god figure...so much the better. I think it's hard to read the trailer and when you factor in the skepticism, it creates the anti feel good of the Star Wars trailer. But hell...all Star Wars had to do was hint and tease beloved memories to go over, while DoJ is fighting Snyder/Batfleck/Superman naysayers. We all have to remember...JUST A TRAILER. I have seen great trailers for bad movies as well as the opposite.
And yeah SmytheKing.
 
Are we even sure it is "official??"

Oh and I for on liked how "batfleck" looked actually.
 
Thanks. It is surprisingly better minus the portugese and blur. Looks dark and lovely. Snyder always has a DP that makes him look good. Jeremy Irons sounds like Charles Dance. I kind of like it. Watch it clear a few more times...it's a grower, not a show-er.
 
First 'Batman v Superman' trailer goes dark and moody in a big way

I am on the record as being a pretty staunch advocate for "Man Of Steel," and one of the things that I immediately like about this trailer is that it clearly builds off of what many people disliked about the first film, and yet those same people are the ones who seem to be immediately disgruntled. I've seen lots of talk about the filmmakers "not getting" Superman, but I'm not sure how anyone can claim at this point that there is any one interpretation that is definitive.

Even more than Marvel, DC has seemed to open to a very elastic interpretation of its various iconic figures over the years, and as a result, you can have two people who are both fans of Batman who may like something totally different. If I meet someone who really only likes the Adam West version of the character, I don't dismiss them simply because that's not my preferred version. Same thing if someone's a rabid fan of the first Burton film. I may prefer the second one, and I can tell you exactly why I prefer it, but I am more than willing to accept that what I like might not be the same thing someone else does.

With Superman, I've grown very tired of the way he was portrayed on film. I like so many things about the character, but I felt like people just stopped at the Donner film and then acted like there's no other version that will do. One of the things I loved about "Man Of Steel" is how completely it felt like Snyder decided to do his own thing. I'm curious to see how he handles Batman and the other corners of the larger world he's helping to establish.

And if audiences really don't like this one or don't go (yeah, right, like that's going to happen), then Warner is going to have to take serious inventory of what they've got planned. There is a particular tone that this trailer seems to be establishing, and it's verrrrrrry different than anything we see from Marvel. That's important, because the worst thing DC could do would be pure imitation. It's more important that they figure out how to make their world serve the stories and the characters they're using, and I like that they are pushing things are far as they appear to be in this trailer.
