Ups...

7. It Informs Without Giving Too Much

One of the main reasons that The Batman's trailer truly excelled in its job as a teaser is down to the fact that it enlightened us about some of the plot's most important elements without ever giving away too much of the storyline.

We know that, of the film's three main villains, The Riddler appears to be at the heart of the story. We know his schemes revolve around Batman himself. We know that Colin Farrell's Penguin and Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman also play into it. And we know that this Batman is the personification of vengeance. But that's all we know.

The Batman's trailer pulls back some of the curtain in one aspect and closes it on others, allowing it to continue to intrigue and ultimately tease us without falling victim to the 'giving too much away' debacle that has tripped recent trailers up.
