@Creasy47, it really is a shame that this is the pervading climate now.
For whatever reason I feel DC and Warner Bros. are genuinely worried about this one being a success, as everything is riding on it, so by making sure they get butts in seats, they end up over-sharing and beginning a hype train that may just derail itself.
I'm still excited, but I would be five times more thrilled if the latest trailer ended a minute earlier. The Zod and Doomsday connection is something that should have been saved for the film itself. Why DC and Warner thought it a good move is beyond me.

My favorite shot I've seen from this entire film so far is still the one where Bruce sees Metropolis under attack and he runs straight into the fray as smoke overtakes him. Every time I see it I just think, "yep, that's such a Batman thing to do." With all of my gripes at certain aspects of this film, trailers like this give me back any hope I may've lost.
@Murdock, I can't tell if that red background is something from this film's Batcave or the skyline like you said. If you look at the first shot of the trailer at around the 2 second mark, there's a section of red in that wide shot of the Batcave that I think Bruce and Alfred are talking against, but in a later shot it does seem like you can see some buildings with what looks like bright lights emanating from windows. So I'm thinking that Bruce may have his current cave inside the city itself, hidden in one of the floors of a penthouse or something, giving a view of the skyline from above. I assume the original cave was destroyed when whatever happened to Wayne Manor occurred, as it seems singed and dilapidated in the shots I've seen. That red definitely calls back the background design for Batman: The Animated Series, though. Nice profile picture, by the way. ;)
This could be his DC in CR moment - prove the doubters (myself included) wrong.
I think with Ben's Batman, though, we'll get to see a far more interesting Bruce than we've seen before, a man fed up with what the world has turned into, and it'll be interesting to see how much more brutal he has to become to face the growing threats of the world, like Superman in his eyes. Ben's Bruce seems the most damaged yet, and the shots I've seen of him in the Batcave just staring at the suit with a mix of condemnation and necessity calls back that beautiful and haunting moment in The Dark Knight Returns where Bruce basically characterizes Batman or the symbol of the cape and cowl as a sort of deity that has complete control over him. I think we're getting that Bruce here, someone who sees the world aflame and hears his old mantle calling back to him to return.
On the Batman side of things, this film will likely have the best choreographed fighting we've seen in a Batman film as well, which is beyond great. We'll get a real proper bone crunching Batman that destroys a room full of men in seconds. Bale is the best we've gotten in that area, but I don't necessarily think I'd have been frightened to death just by seeing him in front of me. With Ben's Batman, I'm scared. Real scared.
I hope all of this does come to pass. It'd be a thrill to see the comic book Batman in all his glory up on screen, equal parts the fighter, the thinker, the tactician, the scientist, the inventor, the engineer, the athlete and overall harbinger of justice.
I feel the same, @Brady. As a big fan of Miller's Batman stories, I think that Affleck's version of the character will be great even if the film isn't that good. I am actually more excited for his solo film.
@CraigMooreOHMSS, Miller really hit the sweet spot in the 80s with his back to back classic Batman tales. I hope there's some tribute to the Mutant mud fight somewhere in BvS that we haven't seen. To witness Ben's Batman going toe to toe with a big baddie while mud slicked would be so amazing, delivering the "operating table" line. I can't wait to see this Batman just unleash himself. From the looks of the trailers, he has now even taken to branding criminals with his mark. Very Zorro, another Miller connection, whether it's purposeful or not.
How could someone not decide it should have been the first teaser or amongst the first ?
When Ben was announced the backlash was insane but I agree with you, from the looks of things, Ben is shaping up to be the best batman yet. I really hope Snyder delivers on realising batman properly because although everything looks good so far, I'm still a bit nervous that this batman portrayal maybe too good to be true. Fingers crossed.
(spoilers for BVS
If the above spoiler is true Batman V Superman MIGHT become my favorite batman film Currently Batman Begins sits at the top (no Joker great dialogue and of course the use of my personal favorite Batman Villain Ra's Al Ghul) but who knows perhaps Batman V Superman could knock it down.
Yeah, I'm really digging it too. One thing I was disappointed with in TDKR was the unfulfilled potential of Bale's Batcave. Minimal attention was given to it.
Yeah, in that film he barely had hold of the Batman persona, didn't have much in the way of a Batcave and had no Batmobile of any sort. On top of that, his greatest allies were largely unaccessible for most of the film. It's the most stripped down Batman has ever been on the big screen, but I like that they switched up the formula.

According to a youtuber who uploaded this video a few weeks ago, this may actually be Junkie XL's Batman theme for BvS.
