Well, Star Wars isn’t the only franchise getting massive hype this week. Zack Snyder’s followup to 2013’s Man of Steel finally has a full trailer out, giving us our first real official look at Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, as well as our first real idea of how the film will play out. Just how do Superman and Batman meet? Why do they fight? How do they come together to help form Justice League (essentially DC’s equivalent to Marvel’s Avengers)?

Sure, comic book fans love Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and know it inside and out, and yes, this film draws from that material. But the trailer seems to show us something much different than the comic I think. But why are you sitting there letting me tell you all of this? Hit the jump to see for yourself!

Still not a lot of footage of Ben Affleck as Batman, but we do get more of an idea of how he’ll look. I’m not against it so far…

One things for sure: This ain’t your daddy’s Superman – or Batman for that matter. This film is obviously going to take us to a very dark place for both heroes. But of course, we know that in the end things have to work out somehow. We’re just interested in the battle leading up to that point, right?

Of course we are. Bring it on!

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, directed by Zack Snyder and written by David S. Goyer, stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Jesse Eisenberg, Laurence Fishburne, Ray Fisher, Diane Lane and Jeremy Irons. It hits theaters March 25, 2016!
