But no matter how he's treated in the script, this trailer is so profoundly anti-Superman that it's puzzling they have his name in the title. They still miss out on core aspects of the character, and I'm baffled as to why this is.
BATTMAN VS SUPERMAN LEAK MOVIE
The trailer also continues the new WB narrative, whicn is 'We really hate Superman.' I'm familiar with the script, so I know that the movie is very much Superman's film, and that they handle him better than in Man of Steel. There's no sense of wonder or awe or even excitement. I said this in my Daredevil review, but I'll repeat it here - grimdark done too far or wrong becomes just silly, and that's what's happening here. Part of that is the vocal effects on Ben Affleck's Batman (enough with stupid Batman voices, already), but part of it is the sheer operatic scale of these two posturing dummies in the rain. All the opening chatter about Superman as an alien coming to Earth is fine (and is, in various iterations, part of the larger mythos), but the tone of the trailer is so unrelentingly dour and unhappy that when it gets to the confrontation in the rain at the end the whole thing simply seems silly. I mean, it's hard to judge exactly just from the cam footage, but this is not a trailer that instills confidence in this movie. This was a legit leak, and I think it hurt the film - the reaction to the trailer has not been positive. Diving into the wake of that excitement is suicide. The Star Wars trailer was so well received that Disney stock added 2 billion dollars in value yesterday afternoon.

It would be insane to leak a bad cam of your big trailer right after one of the biggest buzz moments of the year. Some people have claimed that WB leaked the trailer on purpose, but those people are idiots. Also, it hit hours after the Star Wars trailer, which was so good and so rapturously received that there's no way BvS could be seen as anything but secondary and lesser. That does not read when filmed on an iPhone. There's a reason why the trailer reveal event is an IMAX thing - they want to get across the enormity and power of the film. Prong one: the cam version of the trailer - not great, a little blurry, muffled sound - is a bad representation of what WB is trying to sell. And this is part of a two-pronged problem for WB. But like I said, I know you've already seen it. You won't be warned - you'll just be gone. If you feel like you need to post it in the comments you will be banned, as we have a strict 'no pirated material' policy for our comments. It's safe to say that the tone of the BvS trailer caused a little bit of nerd whiplash. Oh, and they leaked it just a few hours after the Star Wars: The Force Awakens had reduced many in fandom to actual tears. It's supposed to create fan engagement and social media buzz, and to launch the trailer out there in a major, major way.Īnd then somebody pirated it on their phone, leaked it to the internet, and every single site - including many trades! - ran it. The first teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* debuts in a special IMAX event on Monday.
