Sorry for the late-ish reply. Luckily enough, I did see the trailer right when it was released, but I needed a day or so to ruminating on my somewhat conflicting thoughts. That, and I may have been side-tracked in my free time with Arkham Knight's recently-released downloadable content...just got it Tuesday and, despite uncertainty if I'll love or hate the film itself, I love it (Batfleck with now-60-year-old Kevin Conroy's voice lol).

But enough of my geeky-ness...I do like the trailer, but there were enough negatives for me to think that the Comic-Con trailer was better (again, I think). My negatives are mainly on Jesse Eisenberg's seemingly portrayal of Luthor and what was shown after the 2:06 mark of the trailer, which I think is when the trailer became super-spoiler territory. For the record, I know it should be obvious Bats and Supes will end their feud and fight together with Wonder Woman joining in, but would have liked to not see any second of that moment until March 25 is closer (we're 3 months away!) Still, I can't argue with that epic final shot with DC's Trinity ready for battle. My worry for Eisenberg as Luthor continues as we see his portrayal being a little too quirky; even by Bruce Wayne standards...but who knows what's in store, as he was a little more sinister in the Comic-Con trailer. Regarding Doomsday, I kinda hoped we'd see him later, but why not have something other than Luthor in a mechanical suit fighting the Trinity.

Other than that, it was a solid trailer. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent meeting was interesting, and makes me wonder if either one knows the other's alias at that point in the film. And the taste of the "greatest gladiator match in the history of the world" was fun to witness. The purist in me was stunned to hear at least one quote taken from The Dark Knight Returns: "It's time you learn what it means to be a man." Speaking of which, including the final line "I thought she was with you", we now have a good idea of what Affleck's Bats will sound like. It's not Conroy-level good, but good enough for this film; the modulated voice actually reminds me of what Oliver Queen does in the Arrow-verse. So with that in mind, I'm still looking forward to the movie but I also feel they need to be careful with how they're advertising the movie - what else is there to show at this point? lol
