Did The New BATMAN V SUPERMAN Trailer Reveal Too Much?

Thank YOU!!! The trailer did not show too much. We learned nothing we didn't already know from the synopsis. Aside from doomsday but he's been rumored for months. There is still plenty of surprises in the movie i'm sure. And to the people who are saying that this trailer is as bad as the trailers for TASM 2, especially considering that showed Gwens death scene? No...just no.

Thumbed.

The "Dawn of Justice" in the title was a major spoiler too, haha....

Can't wait for the DCEU

Amazing trailer.

What it showed us:

•Batman and Superman working together.
•One of Doomsdays forms.
•Parademons (possibly).

What it didn’t show us:

•How Batman and Superman came to work together.
•When, or if the characters learn each other’s secret identities.
•How Lex Luthor loses his hair.
•How kryptonite comes into play.
•How many, if any, members of the Bat Family, besides Alfred, will be in the movie.
•How exactly Doomsday is created and how he is defeated.
•How Wonder Woman gets involved and why Batman or Superman don’t know her already.
•What the exact purpose of the dream sequence is and who’s dream sequence it is.
•Doomsdays evolving form.
•Any footage Aquaman, Cyborg, and the Flash.

I'm loving these lists of "things not pooled"
They contain some of the most inane events and little factoids.

The trailer was a mini movie and it was damn lame. Let's move on.

@yonny616 Yeah, they're going to be confused af when they see that trinity shot only for the title to show Batman v Superman.

Gave away the whole plot. The enjoyment in the ride to the end is fun, but this gave away a lot of secrets including Wonder Woman not showing up in costume until this end battle, the Lex creation of Doomsday, horrible cave troll Doomsday as the main villain (was rumored for a long time), and minor Batman issues with superman, using a rifle, etc.

Plot is simple, Batman and Supes don't see eye to eye due to death and mistrust in their differences, minor fight, nightmare scene, start to trust, bad guy comes to lay waste, become bestest buddies, wonder woman shows up, fight, win, movie over.

It was edited in a way that spells out the whole movie in chronological order. If it had the same scenes with less context it wouldn't have been that bad, but the context was so obvious each time that I feel like it was a 3 minute summary of the whole movie.

For example in previous trailers they showed Zod but there was no real context, now the context is obvious. We cut from an image of Zods corpse to Mercy Graves walking with what is obviously Zods body to Lex Luthor Monologue, to mad science experiment to Doomsday. That sequence of shots makes it painfully obvious what is going on.

They absolutely did. The first trailer was so great because it seemed like there was going to be some tension and battles with bad intentions behind it. It really look as though it was going to be BvS. While we heard Doomsday might be what brings them together, it's just too early to show that and now we've even seen them somewhat joking together in some form. So now we know in some way that they'll most likely be on the up and up by the end which is somewhat expected but it just doesn't seem as intriguing now and it's too early for that.

"Not only did it reveal too much it set up a huge number of potential plot holes or leaps in logic (which may or may not be resolved in the movie) not least of which are...

"1. This movie shows Batman picking a fight with Superman apparently because he participated in leveling a city. Then the trailer shows that later in the movie Batman will be participating in what appears to be the leveling of ANOTHER city. Hopefully they evacuated everyone this time."

@Forthas, that is left to be seen, but how does this reveal too much?

"2. Batman has a “Bat plane” as shown in the trailer. Where exactly was he when Zod was destroying Metropolis especially given that he is “across the bay?" Heck! Even the US military at least tried and arguably were a big part in ending the siege in Man of Steel."

That's nice, but if you watch the previous trailer, you would have noticed that Bruce Wayne was in Mertopolis at the time of the Black Zero event. He was busy evacuating people and probably didn't have time to go back to the batcave to dress up as Batman and get his jet.

"3. If Batman is branding people with a hot Batarang as the news article in the trailer suggests, then he has become cruel and once again Snyder has destroyed the aura of heroism in one of the great heroes of comic books."

Frank Miller's Batman from "The Dark Knight", was that cruel.

"4. From a practical standpoint, I am curious to know the logic in how Lex Luthor who apparently “created” Doomeday (or whoever it is) thinks he can control it. This plan seems seems self-defeating long term. It would make more sense for the underpinnings of the film if he discovered it and accidentally brought it to life."

That's why you probably want to watch the movie. See, they didn't give away too much.

"5. I don’t understand Batman’s “Minority Report” logic. He wants to take down Superman on the assumption that he will do something bad someday. In the trailer he seesm aware that Superman saves people but is just not satisfied. While I am still unclear if Batman goes after Superman (likely given the armored suit) or Superman goes after Batman (possible given his view of Batman as a vigilante), the heroes are supposed to be smart and in both cases their motives sound egotistical."

I am sure that Batman has this disposition twards Superman because she saw what he could do (as evidenced in the previous trailer). There is a lack of trust in Superman, because he really does not know the man nor his true intentions (at this point in time, very few people actually do). Once again, I will have to refer you to my previous comment. If you are qustioning why certain things are happening in the trailer(s), then it must mean that you should see the film to find out why and that the film producers more than likely did not give away all the goods based on that rationale.

"6. Batman fought Superman with armor. The trailer suggests that Batman (with Superman and Wonder Woman) will be fighting "Doomsday" without any armor (so I guess that Batman and Superman would have made up by then and we are supposed to believe that this unarmored Batman can make a contribution to the fight."

Zack Snider said in an interview that Batman was wearing the armor not only to give him a chance against Superman, but to protect him from somehting else (that Snider didn't want to explain). We have to seel the movie to find out what it is.

"7. The exposition of Doomsday has de-emphasized the supposed spectacle of the Batman Superman fight. With Doomsday now apparently confirmed, it seems the fight between Batman and Superman is somewhat undermined in anticipation of the fight with Doomsday in the same movie."

If you are trying to imply that DC's Trinity vs. Doomsday is a better fight then that would probably inspire more fans to go watch the film. If that is not the case, then the top of the card fight will still be something that people will want to see. I don't get your logic here.

Personally I felt the trailer did reveal a bit too much.

However its not so much about *what* it showed but rather *how* it showed it.

For instance it would be one thing to show us shots of Doomsday etc out of context in an action montage (lets face it, we had all worked out he was in the movie long ago) but its a completely different thing for the trailer to seemingly play through the movie in summary, act-by-act, showing us exactly the context that he is created and appears in.

If anything though id just chalk my irritation down to lazy and unimaginative trailer composition and editing than anything else.

I bookmarked this page. So I can come back on March 26th with a well informed response

When it isn't a troll, its typically people who think they know everything that comes to these conclusions. At the end of the day, its basically a personal interpretation of the material that will lead them to believe too much was shown. People treat each STAR WARS TV Spot like its the plague, but they haven't revealed one single visual or line of dialogue that gives away the film. And yet, people say they're showing too much. That's because they think they can piece together the movie from the limited content.

A more imaginative person will have many unanswered questions. If the trailer revealed the movie, there wouldn't be a speculation thread about those winged creatures. The trailer would have made it clear what they were. Why they were there. And why they seem to be ignoring Batman if evil.

I'd be treated like an asshole if I said the Civil War trailer gave away the whole movie. Cap is aiding a fugitive and he takes Bucky's side which puts him at odds with Stark. Two teams are formed, they fight, then make up.

[frick]ing ridiculous bitching lol. People just WANT to complain about the DCEU

finally, somebody read my comments in all those BvS article!! lol

Grt Article!

I think WB believes having a lot of Jesse as Lex appearing in the trailer is great marketing,....it's not.
