Batman V Superman: 3 Reasons Why The Trailer Teaser Sucks (And 1 Why It's Awesome)

What a nightmare, amiright?

It's been a good four months since the last Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice trailer. Time to stoke that fire before Star Wars hits and every movie looks drab and uninteresting in comparison. Only a week after Marvel finally showed the world some of Captain America: Civil War (looks alright, doesn't it?), Warner Bros. are repeating the trick from their own big superhero smackdown of 2016, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, with a new clip premiering during Gotham and full trailer set to drop on Wednesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live. I've been rather critical of Man Of Steel 2: Here's Batman: And Wonder Woman: F*ck It, It's A Justice League Prequel for a very long time, and while I would like it to be good (I like superheroes, after all), there's been very little to disprove my initial worries. Now this latest clip does offer some glimmer of hope (at least about the marketing focus), but for the most part it's just reaffirming a lot of the problems that previous trailers raised. In fact, I actually shouted "WHAT?!" out loud at one particularly egregious moment as I watched it (it's #2 on the list, if you're interested). Maybe the trailer released on Wednesday evening (so early Thursday here in the UK) will wipe all that away and prove me wrong, but for now I'm still not convinced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6as8ahAr1Uc
