Same reason that loads of people here hate that MoS had a fight scene in a city and you know what happened. They're probably pissed at supes when he was trying to stop someone.

Motherfucker, getting up and seeing it leaked freaked me out but then i saw the first few frames and realized it´s a cam-rip so can´t watch. Nothing short of 1080p will do justice. Waiting for monday......
It's been indicated that Batman has been around for years in this universe. There were even leaked claims of Robin's memorial display case being part of the batcave set.

Would be pretty damn sweet if it's a mirror of the scene from Dark Knight Returns. I love that scene. The music, the tone, the bat at the end. It's just a perfect scene.
Read and watch Flashpoint.

Lots of fans got (or at least pretended to be) incredibly angry over the amount of property damage caused during the final fight in Man of Steel. This film's story is building on that sentiment.

I really want to do things to Ben Affleck. I want to see his Bruce Wayne.

Interesting. I might check the animated version out, seems strange enough from what I usually am exposed to with justice league stuff.
Ah ok, now I get it I guess. That's an interesting way to move the story forward, sort of breaks the fourth wall there in a way.

The only good thing about this trailer was the "Tell me, do you bleed?" line.
DC pls

Even though the odds are against us, we must see it. Superman vs. Batman movie has always been like a fever dream. I don't hold good odds based on the last movie and actors and writers involved, but you can't look away. Teaser wasn't very impressive. Basically panning toward a statue for the majority of the time.

Superman broke a lot of shit and probably killed a bunch of people stopping Zod. At least that is what I have gathered. I haven't actually seen MoS either.

O
nly to fake-die in the end and someone else taking over as batman who is younger...and he is hiding in the cave forever as somewhat of a master for the new Batman...

junkie xl needs to get the fuck outta here though. i hope that's not his theme for batman, lazily grab the zimmer inception horns and loop them
Not me. I've been fed up with the whole "Superman is Jesus" angle ever since Returns...

Nah, Supes is going around being Mr God, but he fucking sucks at it and it's psychologically fucking up humanity and Supes can't keep up. Batman is going around looking at the rubble left over from all the shit Supes stirred up just by existing, and now he wants to go have a talk with Supes about taking responsibility for his role in the world and the way the darkness in mankind responds to someone like him. Neither one will be "the bad guy" but the trailer obviously wants to play up the Vs angle. I bet there are going to be some heavy handed undertones criticizing America's world-policing and drone strikes.

and now I have to change my pants
What do you think it is that they didn't learn?
Superman and "Dark n' Gritty" do NOT mix. At least, not to the soul crushingly despair-filled levels in MoS.

I miss Bale. Affleck just put the same fake tough face he always does. Seems constipated.
I felt that was crude symbolism directed at the audience. This is different by bringing it to the film's universe.

Man of steel was pretty weak but this 2 min teaser was decent, I guess. I still don't much care for Affleck, the actor. I doubt I ever will.
My man.
I know people are excited but I don't understand this need to be first. I suppose that's just the Internet as a whole.
I'm really looking forward to the film and I'm quite happy to wait until Monday.
It is interesting to read some of the comments in here though.
Could you elaborate on this please?
How exactly are you going to see this for 'free'?

Can't wait for Batfleck to wreck the boyscout and get wrecked in return.
Nah but at least this looks like it will be.

I don't think this teaser gave us enough to be trying to figure out what role Superman and Batman play as far as whose the antagonist in their showdown. What it gave us was the question the movie seeks to answer - "What role does Superman play in this world?" - and the promise that the two will fight at some point. That's it.
I like that we get a feel for how divided the public is we all the voiceovers. I also don't agree with people saying that Superman is trying to act like a god but rather I think the film will show him having that label thrust upon him and Supes being kind of unsettled by it. Look at the scene where people are reaching out to him and how "off" it feels. Same with the scene of soldiers bowing in his presence. If we know anything about Clark in this universe, it's that he doesn't view himself as a god. He's just a "guy from Kansas." All this attention and deifying is probably weird to him.

Download a cam or sneak into the theater after seeing another movie (obv. when they stop having ticket dudes in front of it during 1st week).
So DC's solution is to go darker than Nolan? Like Watchmen dark?
Yeah I don't know if this is going to work out for them.
Joel Was Right
If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
I watched it but don't understand what was happening. Who was it that they were bowing to? And why does it make Supernan seem like the villain?
I'm so confused.
I wanted something epic like the Superman Returns trailer.
Singer, save us

There are people who worship toast that has a burn mark resembling Jesus. Not that big of a stretch, lol.

That's what I took from the trailer. The way they kneel, the reaching out, the scene where he's surrounded by hundreds of people.
Seems they consider him a god.
Will be fascinating to see how that plays out. I don't believe we've ever seen that idea explored in any real depth outside of the comics and it makes sense that groups of people would see someone like Superman as a godlike figure if he were to exist...
