Batman v Superman trailer pits Bruce Wayne versus Clark Kent, offers glimpse

The preview then goes on to feature clips of the superheroes battling it out in various settings, with Superman reminding Batman that he could kill him at any time if he actually wanted to do so. “Boys! Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent”, the flamboyant Lex exclaims, calling out the men’s alter egos. The two are at a party arguing before being interrupted by Lex Luther. Ben Affleck has been confirmed as the writer, director, and taking on the role of Batman himself. From the trailer it seems like Superman is under a spell of some sort especially since he gives Batman the evil eye.

For those not very familiar with the DC comic verse, that surprise appearance at the end is Doomsday. Superman asks, to which Batman replies, “I thought she was with you”.

The second, full trailer for Batman V. Superman is composed of nearly entirely new footage drawn from the 2016 film, and along with providing more context for the brewing conflict between actor Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel and Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight, the trailer also reveals the identity of the movie’s monstrous villain. Luthor’s deadly creation attempts to destroy Batman and Superman but the feuding superheroes are protected by Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) who uses her shield to block Doomsday’s fiery wrath. The film will be followed by “Suicide Squad”, which will show a number of super villains teaming up and will continue with a “Wonder Woman” film as well as “The Flash” and a “Justice League” film.

“Batman vs Superman” will be released March 25, 2016. The Zack Snyder directed fantasy also features appearances by Jena Malone, Jason Momoa and Amy Adams.
