New ‘Batman V Superman’ Footage: Take A Break From The ‘Suicide Squad’ Trailer And Give This A Watch

Without the obnoxious cutting and overbearing music seen in the most recent trailer, the footage comes off looking slick and impressive. Snyder’s heavy stylization is still present, but the whole affair somehow manages to look a little less cartoonish and a little more like, well, a comic book. I’m an easy sell for most superhero movies (I really like Man of Steel) and have been looking for an excuse to get excited for this movie for some time now. Well, this presentation has finally given me a kernel faith. Job well done?

This clip was presented alongside a whole batch new stuff that should give you additional reasons to get interested in Warner Bros.’ upcoming superhero movies. There’s that Suicide Squad trailer, which wants to be Guardians of the Galaxy real bad and somehow succeeds. There’s the first footage from Wonder Woman, which features Gal Gadot charging down World War I soldiers on horseback so of course I’m in. And there’s also a glimpse at the other members of the Justice League, who look promising enough.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens on March 25, 2016.
