It's the first preview that did not go out of its way to paint superman as the bad guy. There was depth, emotion, and life that has been missing from all previous footage.

Although the thermal vision thing with bad guys on the third floor made me roll my eyes.

I don't know if the whole thing will work but it sure seems like there will be some really satisfying moments. The look on Supes face as he (rightly so) dismisses Bats and then realizes Bats figured him out made me smile. The God vs Man thing is spot on.

- We can harp on Snyder's storytelling shortcomings all we want but his use of the frame is immaculate
- that said, that Batman fight scene was a little Arkham videogame-y
- I like Irons as Alfred. I like him a lot.
- Was wondering what accent Gal Gadot would go with. Good choice.
- I'm becoming more and more convinced that Reddit plot breakdown was accurate
- "The oldest lie in America is that power can be innocent" is still a stupid line and makes no sense because no one has ever said that
- This is the 3rd of the 4 trailers released (if we count the teaser) where Superman doesn't get a single line
- Amy Adams in a tub

I agree with the Arkham videogame-y comment I thought the same thing. I don't have a problem with it though those games treaded the line between full on comic and highly stylized realism that I think mostly works.

Same. I agree that it looked videogame-y, but that's also exactly why it got my juices flowing.

Even without dialogue this lost me after the initial batman sequence. I didn't like how Wonder Woman moved. But the opening 30 seconds or whatever of that trailer was excellent

Is Batman quoting Dick Cheney's One Percent Doctrine?

I'm gonna wait until someone recuts this as "Superman Doesn't Understand Conversation: The Movie." It should be easy with all the blank looks, blundering dialog, and mildly confused glares.

At this point every review could be glowing and I still wouldn't buy it.

RM is no place for negativity, durd. Taking out anger and frustration is what kids and pets are for.
