The Hollywood trend of spoiling surprises and twists in trailers continued last night with the unveiling of the second trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Running three minutes, the trailer not only shows more fighting between Batman and Superman, but also tells us what brings Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman together.
The trailer does show us more about Jesse Eisenberg’s new Lex Luthor, which seems closer to The Joker than the Lex Luthor we know from past incarnations. But there’s still some of the similarities there, as we see Lex is the creator of Doomsday. (He’s the villain who famously killed Superman in 1992.)
Instead of ending with the shot of Doomsday, the trailer goes even further by showing Wonder Woman popping in. We also see that Doomsday can wipe out a whole city by himself. (Wow, director Zack Snyder really enjoys destroying cities.)
Batman v Superman stars Henry Cavill as Superman again, with Ben Affleck starring as Batman and Gal Gadot playing Wonder Woman. Amy Adams is reprising her Man of Steel role as Lois Lane. The film hits theaters on March 25.
