Gotham finally has the trailer it deserves.
The first trailer for “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” had a rocky debut when low-quality footage leaked online, basically forcing Warner Bros. to release it. That’s not the case with this latest clip.
Word that the trailer would be released at San Diego Comic-Con started circulating Friday. And during a “Batman v Superman” panel on Saturday, whoa, the studio delivered.
Footage appears to show Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) in Metropolis at the end of “Man of Steel”:
Gal Gadot joins the action as Wonder Woman:
And there’s even a hint that Joker might show up. What!
(It’s about time. He certainly hasn’t been around for “Suicide Squad.” And also, WHAT!)
The whole thing seems like a superhero world war, and that’s not even taking into account all the havoc Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) is going to cause with his diabolical monologues.
The trailer is intense, but Affleck brought some levity to the panel, revealing Christian Bale’s expert advice on playing Batman:

He also brought up a somewhat unflattering story about why director Zack Snyder thought he’d be the perfect fit for the Caped Crusader:

Yuk it up while you can, Bruce Wayne. “Batman v Superman” is set to hit theaters March 25, 2016, and it looks like you’re going to need all the Kryptonite you can get.
