Since I can’t figure out how to get this to nicely embed, here’s a link.

Also here's a YouTube version

This is the first real bit of footage released for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It’s essentially the first TV Spot minus the cutting. Though some of the editing on it is still just a little off (I hope).

Like the Dark Knight in the film, it( it being this film, the clip, the characters within) all just trying so damn hard to be taken as serious and epicthat music que). And just looking, well, funny in the process.

Trying to be something you’re not is defiantly what Superman is doing in the scene (hopefully), threatening Batman. Snyder does his best to make Superman’s might palpable as he unilaterally forces Batman into retirement, telling him to bury it. He just fills the frame as he rips the Batmobile doors off, smoke bellowing around everything. Sadly Henry Cavill can’t match it when forced to speak. “Next time they shine your light in the sky, don’t go to it. The Bat is dead. Bury it! Consider this mercy.” Cavill robotically utters with just nothing behind it. Man from UNCLE wasn’t the best movie but Cavill showed some charisma on screen.

Hopefully like the emasculated Batman, this hollowness, is the product of Superman trying to put on an act that he isn’t suited for. The character just isn’t a heel. If this is their first meeting as it appears, it flies in the face of their other better known first encounters. From Man of Steel #3 “One Night in Gotham” wherein Superman interrupts Batman’s vigilantism due to disgust with his tactics to a similar encounter in Superman: The Animated Series “The World’s Finest”. This isn’t a discussion of tactics, its Superman just threatening Batman because he doesn’t like him. Not an ideological meeting of the minds.

The continual revelation on the truly comedic intent of the “Do you bleed” line of questioning is great though. Instead of it being a pithy one liner Batman seemingly prepared for such an encounter, leaving Superman bewildered like in the first TVSpot. It’s one Batman comes up with as Superman leaves, and he tries to sell it as a serious threat. It’s not.

This movie is trying so hard to be “serious” and it is being undone by it.

Line seems really out of character for Supes. Also, why wouldn't he just take Batman to the authorities?

It would have been better to depict Batman getting away in a unique than to just Superman threatening Bats and flying away while Bats threatens him back.

Looks awful. Conan is still cringeworthy.

Personally I'm not very optimistic about this movie anymore.

Will still go to see it though.
