The funky voice of Lex Luthor apart, the new "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" trailer is more than any comic fan could ask for.
Warner Brothers released the new trailer for the upcoming production last Wednesday. It answers a lot of questions that came up from the one that was released at Comic-Con in July.
"What is with Zod's body?"
"Is Doomsday happening for real?"
"So who is the bad guy and who is the good guy here?"
And there were only some of the questions that came to my mind when I saw the first trailer that came out.
Needless to say that everything that was given out in the teaser from April was a part of the other two trailers and, even more, was added.
While the first teaser showed us that the movie would not be all glam-sham and would have a dark shade to it, the Comic-Con trailer tells us that there is a sense of war between Batman and Superman. The new trailer tells us that while Batman and Superman have their own disagreements, there is another war going on that has the sister cities of Gotham and Metropolis under the radar.
The trailer opens up with not Batman and Superman, but Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne, and needless to say, it is the first time ever that we see Kent, Wayne, and Lex Luthor together on screen.
In the middle of some great bits and pieces, the highlight of the trailer is Doomsday. It was earlier HEAVILY rumored, but now the cat is out of the box.
While that was a relief for many who needed answers. There is still a tease hidden. What is the story of the supposed Robin costume and the 'Joker-ish' handwriting that is left on a note and the Robin costume that stands in the chic Batcave. The hint that gives it a green light is the hint that Bruce gives Kent in the trailer where he says "I have a bad history with freaks dressed as clowns."
Another mini easter egg is Gal Gadot who apparently saves Batman from trouble with the shield and both Batman and Superman are equally confused and amazed at Wonder Woman being there to watch their back (read a**).
The only thing that makes the trailer....uh...awkward is how minimal the dialogue is, apart from the elaborate introduction where a third of the time is dedicated to introducing the tension between the two men.
There is obviously no guarantee that the movie will outstand the hype that is building up especially that the trailer was already released and the movie is still months from getting to the screens.
A shoutout here to the 52-second sneak that shows Batman cuffed and Superman unmasking him that shows one of the many twists and turns that the movie will be having.
And yes, the end of the new trailer makes it a little obvious that Batman and Superman come together on the same team to fight the evil but who knows if that is before they fight each other or not.
If you still haven't seen the trailer, make sure you do.
