TORONTO — “Nobody cares about Clark Kent taking on the Batman,” Laurence Fishburne’s character Perry White opines in the forthcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Nothing could be further from the truth, judging by the reaction of fans to a trailer for the highly anticipated movie unveiled Saturday at San Diego’s Comic Con.
The three-and-a-half-minute preview of Zack Snyder’s new entry in the DC Comics universe offers a glimpse of the face-off between Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent/Superman and Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne/Batman — as well as a look at Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and heroes like Flash (Ezra Miller) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa).
Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) is also featured in the trailer, which has racked up 20 million views in its first two days online.
“The red capes are coming,” he coos. “The red capes are coming.”
During the Comic Con panel discussion, Affleck shared the advice he got from Christian Bale, who played the Dark Knight in three movies: “Make sure you can piss in that suit.”
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled for release on March 25.
