Yeah that was weird. I wonder if this is the second time they meet(First time was as Batman, and Superman), and Clark is just playing dumb.

affleck's the only reason i'm looking forward to this.
Yes.
EDIT:
Actually, it might just be his cape making me think that. And the ground cracking.
Kryptonite seems to exist in this movie now, so Batman probably didn't go in unprepared.

1. Keep in mind Clark grew up in small town Kansas; even as a reporter there shouldn't be a reason for him to know who Wayne is since he's based in Metropolis.
2. I think that's just bad editing/staging. In the next shot Lex introduces himself to Clark like they've never met.
Edit: Lex could know Clark just from his name/face being in the paper.

Cut Clark a break guys, going by Man of Steel he became a reporter by walking into the daily planet one day and asking for a job. It's going to take awhile for him to get used to this.
Pssh. Clark's riding on the coat heels of his live-in girlfriend who's a Pulitzer prize winning reporter.
Kind of a shame that it looks like another city will be getting utterly destroyed.
If it's like any other DC universe, everyone at the Daily Planet is constantly interviewing Lex.
Lois probably hooked him up.
This looks super tonally inconsistent based on the trailer. Hopefully the trailer is just edited poorly but I really couldn't tell what they were going for. It looks like they listened to Man of Steel criticism and gave the film some humor but the over-the-top, grimdark action and filters appear to still be there so the humor feels even more jarring than it would be otherwise.
Eisenberg as Luthor seems like a lot of fun though. Ill-fitting but fun.

The same Marvel Studios that played the world like a fool with the Mandarin twist. And what's your point? That was only one movie.
He slept his away to the top of the daily planet.

She was in Fast 5 and 6. Not the best actress, but she should do fine with her part in this. Not sure how she'll carry the solo WW movie though.
Actually yeah what's up with that?
Thanks I'll give those a rewatch and keep an eye out for her.
That it's ridiculous picking sides in a 'war' between the two companies when both of them openly will do whatever the fuck it takes to get people into a cinema trailer wise. The Avengers was filled with footage from the last act, CA: TWS spoiled who Winter Soldier was, MOS's trailer suggested Snyder via Malick and was staggeringly misleading.
Also, it's worth noting that Star Wars: TFA is hiding a lot of stuff BECAUSE the film is rooted around a number of central mysteries (what happened to Luke etc.) Whereas this is a film about superheroes fighting each other then a stupid rock monster. I'm not sure hiding the stupid rock monster is going to add a bunch of box office dollars.

They must've been really understaffed.

It's kinda interesting how the two big superhero movies next year feature the most popular heroes fighting against each other (Iron Man vs. Captain America, and Batman vs. Superman). The trailers show the same sorta conflict.
The difference is that Iron Man and Captain America's relationship has been established over several movies. Batman vs. Superman has to do a lot of heavy lifting which might create problems in the movie.

Great point. Timeframe won't allow what happened progressively over several movies for cap and Tony.
I imagine Lois could still help him get hired without tying her name to his.
Zod assured that
Justice League is actually about Aquaman and the Flash taking down Supes/Bats/WW for causing so much collateral damage.
Well, they're completely different conflicts though. Cap and Iron Man are friends (of sorts) who become enemies (of sorts); Superman and Batman's antagonism and distrust is a result of them not knowing each other. So the build-up for the former and the lack of build-up for the latter works for both.
Ehhh...I think is totally natural for Bats to question Supes motives, specially and older jaded Batman. There is nothing to lift here. Out of their conflict and then them joining forces to combat a true threat, emerges one of the most famous friendships in comic book history.
Two different kinds of conflicts. You don't need several movies worth of build up for "I don't know this guy and my initial opinion is that he must be stopped." That's all there is to it. Why would you need several movies to build a fight on a first impression?

The Avengers had multiple movies worth of backstory, and script that meshed them together well... and actual heroism, like showing Captain Amercia defending civilians or Hawkeye helping people out of a bus.
Weve got exactly one movie of backstory for this, in which Superman violently fights kryptonians and destroys cities and a giant machine. Also, I guess he saves the world in the process.
I dunno, it feels like theyre trying to do the crossover thing without the benefit of mutliple tie in movies givng backstory. It might end badly.
I mean, there has been a near endless outcry about the finale of Man of Steel and how disastrous stopping Zod became.
People are well aware who Batman is and can easily relate to his perspective, so I don't think that's a real tax on the writing and screen time here.

Batman has SUCH a moral high ground. Branding junkies in alleyways while Superman saves hurricane victims and an exploding shuttle.

But in BvS, they don't have that relationship yet. That's the whole point. Just like in the New 52. They never met before, this is showing how they start that relationship
The conflict here isn't one of former friends having to fight eachother. It's a different kind of conflict

Who was picking sides? The guy you responded to simply stated that Civil War still has more left to show.
They are still besties.
I love their dynamic. Always have.
I believe most of us "DC" fans have been waiting for this to happen on the big screen.
I seriously can't wait for the JL movie.
That might not be Batman doing that... methinks it's Lex staging Batman going over the top in his vigilantism in order to draw out Bats and Superman.
In fairness, I'm not sure anyone is particularly more than serviceable in a Fast and the Furious movie, nor do those demand ask much of the actors to begin with.
Huh, alrighty then.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Eh. I am pretty sure the hydra revelation is the real twist of the WS movie. The trailer played it out as it the soldiers on the bridge with WS were WS's goons but in actual fact WS is a goon along with them too.
WS was meant to be part of the draw for the movie rather than the secret twist right from the start.

What were his qualifications though? Seems like the only thing that he would of had on his resume were bus boy and working on a crab boat.
There must of been a deleted scene where he makes out with Perry White on top of the Daily Planet and wipes his memory.

Personally I think it's setting up Red Hood. We already have the marked Robin suit, Bruce mentioning Gotham's history with the clown, "You let your family die", Joker and Batman in Suicide Squad
Red Hood staging Batman becoming more violent to mess with him seems probable
You've got to start filling seats when your entire editorial staff's bodies are still under rubble somewhere.
