I'm sure it is padded, but Affleck has been looking like a refrigerator lately

Hes got the shoulders, rest is all suit
The MCU will barely call Thor a god without some quip or joke. I don't think they really want to address it.
That shot actually looks rough and and unfinished. It doesn't look as epic as the shot from TDKR just from looking at that.
I'm in the camp that they had 100% power, but not 100% trained... the same explanation for why Superman didn't fly his first 32 years on Earth. The sensory stuff is covered by their helmets being compromised, not the atmosphere.
There's a video series that explains it all, so long as you watch ALL three videos and don't skip. Here:
How the powers / weakness works:

Showing the armor is unlikely to be powered:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzWF7kma0zw
Showing the powers don't come from gravity or the atmosphere:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbxoAEPs1mY
If you follow the videos' theory, there's no plot hole... and it's actually worlds more simple than trying to come up with special rules or explanations for why Kryptonian Armor 18,000 years later doesn't have super strength, but ancient armor does; why Lois can move freely aboard the ship; why Lois can kill can fight armored Kryptonians; why Zod can transition to Earth air without issue; why the Kryptonians had DIFFERENT environmental suits when exploring the dead colonies; why Superman's powers come back instantly; why Superman's powers work in vacuum and in high gravity; how could Superman lose flight temporarily against the World Engine; etc.
You could create a crazy matrix of special theories to try and navigate it all, but you inevitably run into contradiction unless you follow the basic model:
1. Kryptonians are powered by radiation, gain 100% of their powers while exposed (star ships block radiation but the suits do not), but need training / focus to exploit them all.
2. Kryptonian atmosphere removes access to only their stores of power.
3. The helmets block sensory overload.
4. Earth atmosphere and gravity have nothing to do with powers.
Follow the above and then there are zero power-related plot holes or contradictions. Plus, you don't need to invent power levels for different suit eras, etc.
3 and 4 actually obvious and really just there to dispel myths, 1 is completely in line with tradition (Superman II, Supergirl The Movie, Superman TAS, Smallville, etc), and only 2 is an introduced nuance.

It really is the one weak link in this trailer.

I wonder if they'll do any camera trickery to make Cavill the same height.

It really does have a grim dark Watchmen feel. I'm not sold on it yet but Batfleck has it going on.

Early CG capes there and Superman catching the rocket. Plenty of time to fix it.

With how he's built and how tall he is, I'd look like a Hobbit next to him.
Of course, Lex has no issue with himself in that same position as he's human.

And is that from Mainstream DC continuity, or from MoS Continuity, we're only talking MoS

Jesus. Do we need a third party in the stupid "fanboy wars" bullshit? When do we get a Star Trek trailer to add a new enemy?

That trailer was dope. I still have no idea why they are enemies though.

My friend is 6'2" and he said Ben made him feel like a tiny person.

Eh the whole film was weak to be honest it was like the alien invasion was the "main" plot point - and Superman was reduced to a glorified cameo appearance. Kind of like how the Transformers movies are not about the Transformers as such but the "world around them".
Batman vs Superman has disaster written all over it, I'll be surprised if it has a rotten tomato rating of more than 60%.

They don't want Superman 6'4"
Some cool info in that.

Looks meh. Will see the 2nd trailer and hope it improve.
Every "geek" movie trailer should start with a montage of other yet to be released "geek" movies followed by "Here comes a new rival" from Street Fighter.

the best blockbuster of 2013 had a rotten tomato rating of 31%
I think they filmed that in Detroit? In which case, it'd be Gotham.
Damn that was a great trailer.
My assumption from the trailer is that it's down to some people regarding Supes as a god but some thinking he might have too much control and power over humanity and Batman is there to say, "I'm here to stop your shit if you go off the rails/ take advantage".
I dunno, just guessing.

Being that its inspired by dark knight returns, lex pushes superman to work for the government of the U.S. Doing into bidding, he is turned into a god by ppl and society begins to deteriorate and people go into anarchy and U.S. Uses superman to remove anything it doesn't like. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Superman kills with impunity
Batman sees all this and does not like the way the world is going, he is the savior of Gotham but he wants to save superman and earth from the negative effects of what superman has done and has become. Superman is brainwashed by Luther into thinking he is helping humanity. Superman considers himself a demigod to men . Batman takes on superman to prove to him superman is immortal to superman and the world . At the end of the movie lex Luther starts to emerge as supermans greatest villian

This is Wrong. The movie states clearly that Earth Atmoshpere affects Kryptonian physioloogy, the movie portrays this as Sensory abilities being tied to it. Flight and Heat Vision are at least partially tied to this as well.
Same thing I thought of, both shots look very similar.
Alfred also seems to be in the active mentor/speech giving role like the Michael Caine version... which I'm okay with.

Why does the statue's face look more like Brandon Routh than Henry Cavill?

Routh had the free time to have a body cast made.
He has trouble getting through doors.
Ok, I'm off to the gym.

Could've been worse. Have you seen the Superman statue in Cleveland?
He has trouble getting through doors.
What size t-shirt is he wearing?
my guess is that they start doing it before he even realizes it, and then asks him that to quickly to get up. The shot is cut to make it look like Superman is ordering his subjects to bow before him, but I'm assuming that's just a misunderstanding in the full scene.
lol
