Why make Superman look like a villain???

Just more proof they have no idea what they're doing. I really, really want to like this movie, but they're making it really difficult.

What makes you think he is a villain? The scene is so out of context

It's the context, or lack of, that makes Superman look like a villain. A chained up Batman, the unmasking, the gunmen kneeling as Superman arrives. That being said the scene is most likely a dream or something of the sort as others have pointed out.

I don't think its a dream. I think Bruce and Clark are being played off against one another by Lex, who is likely the mastermind behind the Mercenaries that Bruce is tied up with and the S-Men that are kneeling before Clark.

He's not a villain. The scene just makes him look like one. At this point, this is how they're choosing to market the movie, which is worth noting.

It's worth noting that the action figure of this Batman costume is called "Knightmare Batman," so I think this is more than likely a dream sequence. I'm also betting it's likely where we're going to see the Aquaman and Flash cameos without having them shoehorned into the main plot.

Anyway, this was brief (feel bad for the people who sat through an episode of Gotham for it), but Cavill and Affleck look totally boss. Cavill looks intimidating as hell here. If this isn't a dream sequence, I'm hoping he's doing double duty as pre-deteriorating Bizarro.

Except for the previous trailers, which made it clear that Batman is the aggressor and showed Superman saving people...

I'm pretty sure the guy in the Superman costume is either not really Superman or it's Superman being controlled by Luthor.

Ughh, yeah talk about a tease!! I can't help but feel this look's like a dream sequence of some sort. Hopefully it's not. Can't wait for Wednesday.

I doubt it's a dream sequence, because I can't imagine Batman dreaming about being defeated and taken prisoner or Superman dreaming about a bunch of armed commandos kneeling at his feet like he's the messiah.

It's either a Bruce nightmare sequence or Supes is just playing along for the S-Men or whatever they're called who worship him and have offered up Batman as a sacrifice to their alien god.

To be fair, most thought that the initial trailer made Bruce look like the bad guy. So I'm fine with this balancing it out somewhat.

Having said that, they're both good guys who are being manipulated against each other. We know everything works out in the end, so why sweat it?

Also, the costume for desert Batman is called "Knightmare Batman" on all the merchandise. So we know this is a dream. A bad dream.

Superman seems like a threat, no one knows how much he's capable of and that scare humans. It's pretty basic and not really besmirching Superman. This "vs" movie makes more sense and is something they two can get out of easier than Civil War. I don't see how Steve and Tony can ever work together again after than trailer, Tony's trying to kill Steve's friend then whining he used to be friends with Steve like that validates what he's doing.

Supes and Bats are just having one big misunderstanding after being manipulated, then Diana invites them to join her in forming the JLA

I suspect Civil War will resolve itself like this.

Also what I expect to happen, given all that Snyder has said about her role.
