The first trailer with actual edited footage of Batman V Superman:Dawn of Justice has landed online and it was impressive. And I mean by the way of how much is actually shown, and how effective it is. There are a few things that are stuck in my brain after watching this multiple times.
First things first, The character who has the first line in the beginning of the trailer. It starts with a debate about what purpose Superman has or doesn't have in the world. The first line of the trailer is , " Is it really suprising that the most powerful man in the world, should be a figure of controversy?" I think that line is very important to the theme of the movie. In my mind, it really secures the idea of this being an actual "Superman" movie. The whole theory for the longest time, is that this was a direct setup to Justice League movie and not a Superman sequel. I am going to appluad DC for using this line in the trailer. And I am very certain that this line, belongs to someone of importance. Now my guess, is that it is spoken by Lex Luthor. Of course that does not sound like Jesse Esienberg, but there was a rumor that he is portaying Luthor with a very distinct and different voice. This could bring HUGE amount of excitement for the movie. Especially for Esienberg.
While there plenty of things to talk about, there is only one other that I want to bring up. Who is standing in a darkly lit room? Ok, it failry obvious that this is Batcave and Batman standing next to the batmobile. Now, there are some factors to possibly prove that it is Batman. Looks about the size of Batman, That the batmobile is the large vehicle looking thing is. But what is Batman holding? FIrst i thought they got Ronan The Acuser was sold to DC!?!? Aquaman, doubtful. Wonder woman, even more doubtful. Superman, maybe but why the hell would superman ever carry a weapon. And that does look like its a large piece of weapnory. Ok, this is where I want everybody to comment and have some fun figuring out the details of this trailer.
All in all, I am very impressed. I think that DC is taking a bold, different approach to their movie universe. And that this is going to be the one that catapults the upcoming movie frachises high levels of success. Not even referring to box office appeal, but to Film appeal. This will be a gamchanger.
I don't want to attempt to cover every single but of the trailer myself. I know just about everyody @CBM have seen the trailer today, So comment below to add your opinions, finds, and theories.
