‘Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice’ Trailer Tease: The Dark Knight Is Unmasked

If you’re one of those poor schmucks who has been consistently watchingGothamout of obligation and/or the desperate desire to have DC characters of any kind in your life, you were thrown a bone tonight. New footage fromBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicepremiered, simultaneously rewarding your admirable commitment to the larger Batman mythosandreminding you thatGothamdoesn’t feature Batman at all and making you question why you’ve been enduring it.

Anyway, everyone else can just watch the newBatman v Supermanfootage after the jump. NoGothamrequired! We promise!

Here’s theBatman v Supermantrailer tease, which is just a taste of a new trailer coming later this week:

It’s not entirely clear what’s going on here, but the fact that this looks like the Batman’s imaginary Worst Case Scenario for an unchecked Superman suggests that this scene is probably a dream (or maybe a Lex Luthor-induced hallucination). The next full trailer will premiere this Wednesday,December 2nd, onJimmy Kimmel Live. It should meander over to YouTube soon after.

For the record, saw glimpses of this footage in the trailerthat debuted at Comic-Con earlier this year:

Directed byZack Snyder,Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticestarsBen Affleckas Bruce Wayne,Henry Cavillas Clark Kent,Gal Gadotas Wonder Woman,Jesse Eisenbergas Lex Luthor,Jeremy Ironsas Alfred,Amy Adamsas Lois Lane,Laurence Fishburneas Perry White,Tao Okamotoas Mercy Graves,Holly Hunteras Senator Finch, andDiane Laneas Martha Kent. The film is expected to feature cameos fromJason Momoaas Aquaman andEzra Milleras The Flash, withJenna MaloneandScoot McNairyplaying unspecified roles (although rumors suggest Barbara Gordon and Jimmy Olsen).

Here is the official plot synopsis (which is one of several), although the title really does tell you everything you need to know:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis' most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceopens onMarch 26, 2016. It is the first step in the larger DC movie universe, which will soon includeSuicide Squad,Wonder Woman,Aquaman,The Flash,Green Lantern Corps, and a two-partJustice Leaguemovie.
