    Exactly.

    The plot of this film will have a lot of misdirection.

    I would be absolutely thrilled if Superman came off as the sympathetic figure and Batman was shown as the bully for once!
    Superman already gave himself in Man of Steel to the US Government. That would be completely in character for him.

    Pfft. Don't be ridiculous.

    It reminds me of the main theme of Nolan's TDK: chaos.
    At the beginning, mankind will fall into fanaticism instead of follow Superman's inspiration.
    I expect Clark to says something like this (from 00:09 to 00:20): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2aRIg0i2qI

    I didn't say it had to be those four outcomes. I just said those were the ones that I saw. Maybe my imagination isn't working so good today. I expect other people are more clever than I.

    He said "Maybe." A word that, by definition, suggests a lack of certainty. The mere tone of his voice makes it clear he didn't really believe what he was saying.

    Yes, in the real world, a human being might very well have a moment of doubt where he might think of his own son's safety, rather than the safety of a bunch of other kids. Thanks for making LoneNecromancer's point for him.

    None of those options can happen because the League isn't formed in this movie. Wonder Woman plays a short, but important role, but the other League members are going to be cameos or absent entirely. The team won't form until the JL films proper.

    If Diana resolves the conflict though, that would be amazing.

    First, if you read my post you would have seen the word "might".

    Second, if I made his point then his must have been the same as mine - that a human being with the power of a god is going to be tempted to use it.

    And if you are not writing Superman as a human being, you are basically writing him as a cardboard cut-out.

    What we may well see is a more violent version of Batman's rebutall of Superman and Wonder Woman's invasion of Khuraq from the Trinity War. Well intentioned by hamfisted.

    A human being would also kill one man in order to stop him from killing billions of others. Just sayin'.

    And, yes. Superman would be tempted to use his powers. That doesn't immediately translate to him becoming a monster. It also in no way proves your statement that Superman is the bad guy in this movie.

    I didn't say he was. I said he in the trailer he is the antagonist to Batman's protagonist.

    The thread is about the trailer, and its implications for the the movie and also perceptions of the movie.

    There is nothing to support he's the antagonist. The world is viewing him antagonistically. So is Batman.

    Typically, the hero being singled out by everyone else in the story is the protagonist.

    The title pretty much spells it out, which is why they use it in the legal sense. Batman is bringing a case or complaint against Superman. Batman is the complainant/plaintiff. Superman is the defendant.

    I don't know why this is a debate; the result is a forgone conclusion. We know this will end with the foundation of the Justice League, which means Superman will prove to Batman that he is in the right.

    Thats definitely Jeremy Irons. The trailer makes it seem like he's speaking of Batman, but I'm positive in context, he's talking about Luthor.
    I think that's Alfred admonishing Bruce about persuing Superman, likely using Luthor or other extreme anti-Superman sides as an example.

    I think it would be neat if the second trailer is mirrored to Supes' POV. Open with a descending pan through Gotham City set to various pundits arguing about the activities of "the Batman," then a brief voiceover from Lois paraphrasing Alfred, then cut to Superman staring down at armored Batman, end on a one liner.

    You know, I think you are right. Alfred can see Bruce turning into Luthor, and that would really concern him.
