A few years ago the world was given a new take on the Superman mythos in Man of Steel. From my knowledge it was met with a mix of reviews, mostly bad from what I read on multiple sites. I, for one, loved it to death. I have watched it and rewatched it a ton of times and it doesn't seem to get old to me. From what I gathered though was that the majority of folks that hated it disliked it for one simple reason....Superman kills General Zod at the finale of the film. Now, to all those people that are screaming about "spoilers", I got something for that. Superman always kills Zod! In the original films with Christopher Reeves he kills Zod after he takes his powers away, so if anything people should freak out over that and not Man of Steel. Anyway I do digress, I loved the film. We finally got a Superman film where he actually fights someone or something that is on equal grounds with him. Unlike the older films where Supes just picks up heavy things.
So now we get a sequel in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and it apparently takes place overlapping the Man of Steel film and continues on after it. I am absolutely psyched for this movie more than I was for Man of Steel, and that's saying something right there. We have Ben Affleck as Bats, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Henry Cavill reprising his Supes role. I watched this trailer about 8 times after it was released to the public a few days ago and there is a few things to notice. For one, the new Batman suit and armor suit look absolutely fantastic and I dare say look to be the best ones yet. Almost taken directly from The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel. Superman looks to be on trial by the people of the world for what happened in the previous film. It would happen in real life too as well because that epic battle took out a lot of buildings that were full of people. One of those buildings is Wayne Financial, so we can see some of Batman's motivation for taking on a super powered alien. Another new for the series is we get to see a new take on Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenberg, and the only cast member that I was worried about when he was announced. After the trailer though I am convinced he will do quite well. We got a look at some Kryptonite...also a first for the series. We get Bruce Wayne staring at a suit in a glass case that has some spray paint on it that was supposedly done by the Joker. Now if you pause at the painted suit and look at the top right part of the chest piece, you can see a big "R", which is for Robin. I am just taking a guess here but I believe this all takes place after the death of Robin in Batman's storyline. We can only wait and see to be sure.
So without further ado I give you the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con trailer........Bask in it's absolute glory!
