The newest trailer for Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice was posted a few days ago (see it here). There are a few things that I enjoyed about it:
1. Clark and Bruce as well as Superman and Batman were presented as equals
This is very important. Sometimes Batman/Bruce is presented as smarter or even more dangerous than Clark/Superman but that was not the case here. The trailer showed the strengths of both characters from Superman's powers and Clark's reporter instincts to Bruce's drive and Batman's gadgets.
2. Zod is Doomsday!!!!
For months there were rumors that Zod would somehow become Doomsday through Lex Luthor's machinations. It was confirmed that this happens as Zod is shown then Doomsday shoots heat vision from his eyes at Batman.
3. Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman shows up at the end of the trailer and protects Batman from Doomsday's heat vision blast. Gal Gadot makes an impressive Wonder Woman which looks even better in action than the still pictures we have seen previously.
4. Campy Lex Luthor
I noticed that Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) is very campy in this trailer from his first meeting with Clark and Bruce to talking to Lois Lane, this Lex Luthor reminds me a lot of the Gene Hackman version in Superman 1 and 2.
There is no doubt that Warner Brothers wants this to be a big deal and it's being presented as such. This movie will make hundreds of millions of dollars. It will be interesting to see how it does when it debuts in March of 2016 especially with Captain America: Civil War debuting in June.
