8 Ways New Batman V Superman Trailer Made You Change Your Mind

3. The Battles Look Genuinely Awesome

What You Originally Thought: Given that Batman is a mere human and Superman is an invincible alien, audiences were concerned as to how these characters would come together in a "fair fight" in the context of a motion picture. Making that work in the confines of a comic book is one thing, but on the big screen it's something that has to feel believable if audiences are going to buy into the idea of Bruce Wayne surviving a fight with Clark Kent. How The New Trailer Changed Your Mind: The new trailer actually showcases segments from some of Batman v Superman's bound-to-be-insane fight sequences, and for the most part they look really, really promising (despite a tad too much CGI, but hey!). Batman can be glimpsed wearing a suit of heavy armour as a means of protection, but also can be seen using stealth, agility and speed to combat the Man of Steel. At one point, he uses his Batclaw - basically, a grappling hook - to avoid a blast of Superman's solar vision, in a shot that pays homage to Frank Miller's iconic cover for The Dark Knight Rises. All in all, the trailer showcases a battle that feels even-handed - and essential element that many assumed might be lacking in a Zack Snyder film, but one that most will likely feel a whole lot better about having seen this new footage.
