Here it is if you’ve been living in a rock for the past day or so and this is your first foray into the interwebs…

What to make of this?

Well, the look remains good.  I’ve not had any complaints against the look director Zack Snyder is going for.  Indeed, everything I’ve seen so far,including this far longer trailer…

…have looked pretty good.

Further, I’m excited to see, for the first time (ignoring the 1979 TV Legends of Superheroes) on the silver screen Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman –THE three best superheroes ever created which, IMHO, form the cornerstone of almost all superheroes that followed- together at last in a big budget film.

And yet, I have a terrible confession to make considering how much I love the characters: We may be reaching a point of superhero (ahem) supersaturation.

The mini-trailer/teaser presented above is interesting but I get the feeling it represents some kind of “dream” that Batman/Bruce Wayne is having.  From the bits and pieces I’m gathering in the longer trailer, it appears this movie is very much a continuation of the previous one.  In Man of Steel, Superman and General Zod essentially destroy Metropolis and, the critics/fans noted, must have caused the deaths of many thousands of people in their wake.

This movie takes that idea, which was essentially ignored in Man of Steel, and runs with it.  It would appear that Bruce Wayne witnessed the destruction and faced very personal losses when one of his buildings went down.  Needless to say, he isn’t coming into this film looking at Superman as a great savior.

Anyway, so are those small sequences of Batman in chains (come on, Batman would get out of those chains in seconds!) part of a nightmare Bruce Wayne has regarding what will become of Superman?  That he will use his powers to make himself a god (note the security guards who bow before him when he arrives) and therefore he has to be stopped?

Or could it turn out that this film isn’t as dour as it seems and that in reality it is a lighthearted tribute to the 1950’s comic books?  You know, where the “real” plot involves Mister Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite uniting to mess with our heroes’ heads and having them fight each other before Wonder Woman pulls them out of their alien-made mess?

Nah.

But it sure would freak people out, no?
