It might be a fairly insubstantial thing, but the decision to use Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" was an incredibly cool one (even if the opening song was a bit more jarring).

Throughout this marketing, Warner Bros have countered the concerns over character design with solid tease material, building a feel for the movie more than establishing what we can expect to see. And while there were some pretty unnecessary spoilers of key sequences (got to get those asses on seats), it's generally been a much better approach than Batman v Superman.

Plus, it means we inherently associate the film with coolness (and with the Wayne's World soundtrack). Let's hope they go a similar way for the Final Trailer too.
