Batman V Superman Trailer 2 Breakdown: 42 Things You Need To See

And it's impossible to ignore the parallels with Jim Carrey's Edward Nigma when he hosts his party in Batman Forever. That's strike two for that film.

Also, why on Earth does Luthor count low level journalist Clark Kent as an equal to Bruce Wayne?
