So it's basically the leaked script. This could be one hell of a messy movie.

I would say that this trailer seems to give away the whole plot, but then again, this is what pretty much everyone already predicted would happen, so I suppose there's no harm done.  Doomsday!  Jokes!  Lex being ridiculous!

Wow, aside from giving away the mystique of Batman and Superman fighting, this trailer is horrible. What a schizophrenic mess. It's like it can't decide what to go for so it tries to shoehorn in every single angle, cram in as many people as possible and throw all their cards on the table just in the hopes that one'll be a winning card. And as happy as I am to see Wonder Woman in a movie, even if I don't like her much, she feels incredibly unnecessary here. Also did they really need to use Superman's biggest enemy already? w0w

I'm gonna see this movie, obviously, but damn I do not like how it looks.

Why would you watch it on such an outdated format?

Does anyone else think Doomsday looks like the cave troll from The Lord of the Rings?

Far from it.  Plenty of people have been drawing all sorts of amusing comparisons between Doomsday and other CGI monsters:

http://www.thesuperficial.com/batman-v-superman-trailer-doomsday-jesse-eisenberg-12-2015

The main issue is that Doomsday's spikes are easily the most distinctive part of his design:





Much better.  But I suppose WB/DC figured that a bone-beard has no place in their dark and gritty universe, so they took his spikes away and made him look like a generic monster instead.

Doomsday looks stupid as hell. He looks like the bathroom troll from Harry Potter. Not a fearsome creature, but a doofy, derpy thug.

At least now we know that the movie is going to be more than just a direct ripoff of The Dark Knight Returns like Tom was thinking.

Hey, it's a much better trailer!  It's a shame that Harley doesn't have her usual accent, though.  And the Joker still doesn't look that good.  Also, Wonder Woman:



The color, or lack thereof, is hideous.

<Snupes> Oh, Saddam
<Snupes> They've crammed Darkseid into BvS
<Snupes> What the fucking fuck
<Saddam> Yes, I saw that
<Snupes> How is DC so amazingly retarded
<beardo> problem?
<Snupes> They're just going to use every single villain in that movie
<Snupes> I mean, after Darkseid, who's gonna be the big big bad?
<Saddam> >mfw Snupes cares more about DC than Marvel
<beardo> Well I guess they won't actually fight Darkseid in BvS, he'll just show up
<Snupes> beardo: As will every single other DC character
<Snupes> There won't be a single surprise left in the DCverse
<beardo> and in a final justice league film they kick his ass
<Snupes> inb4 Lobo shows up in BvS
<Saddam> Everyone will accuse DC of ripping off Marvel with Darkseid
<Snupes> I doubt that
<Saddam> Danny Trejo wants to play Lobo
<Saddam> I would see a Lobo movie starring Trejo
<Snupes> I could see it.

Wow.

I'm just... Wow. How... Why....

What the everloving fuck are they doing?!  Doomsday would be a two parter by itself, but throwing in Darkseid too?  Toon many badguys.

He'll probably will just show up for a few seconds in the "knightmare" dream scene or something, foreshadowing his full appearance in Justice League.

"[Batman] is not giving people a chance," explains producer Charles Roven. "He is more than a vigilante. He has become not only the cop, if you will, he has also become the jury and executioner."

But what is this?  Does this Batman actually kill?  Also:

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/batman_vs_superman/wonder-woman-is-a-5000-year-old-retired-superhero-when-batman-a130408

Quote
[Wonder Woman has] put her superhero days behind her before unknown circumstances force the character to give up her retirement. Why though has she stopped protecting the world? "Because she's seen it all, she has seen what humans can do, so it was very hard for her to come back and fight," Gadot explains

In other words, she's going to be dark, brooding, and embittered.  Not at all like Batman and Superman.
