Personally, I thought marketing should have kicked off with having folks choose sides (especially know the most recent trailer)

But I dig the poster, and campaign seems to be doing well on social media so...

Here's a new commercial.

[Magwik]

That's a neat poster

 

[Alienous]

That's one of the best shots of Batman from the movie yet.

But to answer the question: neither.

 

[massoluk]

I don't see anyone winning against Man of Steel's Superman. I mean anyone that ever appear in any films ever.

edit: Yeah, and that last trailer kinda gave it away.

 

[MartyStu]

Cavil looks tiny by comparison.

 

[strafer]

Thank god they didn't use the armored batsuit

 

[Messypandas]

#Stalemate

 

[Penguin]

I'll throw this in here too, seems to be cover for upcoming Empire

 

[Escape Goat]

Im going to guess neither. They fight to a stalemate before realizing they need to team up to fight the real bad guy.

 

[heliosRAzi]

But the other trailer showed them working together

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Hopefully the final trailer overwrites the previous one and goes back to focusing on them fighting. That's what this campaign seems to imply

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

That tagline would be a lot more effective without the last trailer...

 

[Palabrah]

We already know neither will "win" and they stop to fight a bigger threat. So I'm not that interested. Trailers ruin it.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Ha ha ha I just accidentally reduced your comment to hashtags

They know they fucked up.

 

[oti]

Neither because #brands

 

[Nudull]

Lex Wins.

 

[SpaceWolf]

#Neither

#TrailerAlreadyToldMeSo

Haha, exactly.

Goddamn, I'm just so bloody underwhelmed by this film's advertising. And I'm obsessed with Batman. I want to get excited goddamnit!

 

[Rebel Leader]

Bat man wins

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Whoever wins............

we lose.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

How dumb considering we already know what happens with their fight.

 

[najehe]

Seeing how they already gave it away in the trailer, neither/both win since they end up teaming up with Wonder Woman to fight the baddies.

 

[J_Viper]

I'm still holding out hope for this movie, but every piece of marketing material for this since the CC trailer has been disastrous.

Are they serious with that fucking hashtag?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Nobody wins. Fucking MAD at the recent trailer spoiling it all for a little "ohhh" and "ahhhh". Fucking WB and their shitty editing. Ugh.

We all lose.

None of the fights where you don't see them pounding each other is them fighting each other. It's Batman fighting Doomsday or Superman Fighter Doomsday. Fucking WB.

 

[Loris146]

Huntthetruth part 2 ?

 

[Sesha]

#PointlessHashtag

That Empire cover looks dope, though.

 

[Penguin]

I agree it's silly after the last trailer, but they don't really expect anyone to pick the way, it's a way to get people talking and that does seem to be working

Batman got to the number 7 trend WW in about an hour so folks are clearly picking their sides

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I'll throw this in here too, seems to be cover for upcoming Empire

Damn, I'll definitely be picking this up.

 

[OricWindstar]

Was anyone actually expecting a "winner" in this movie? I'm all for less spoilers, but, c'mon guys.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Cavil face looks different..

 

[IconGrist]

Hey, here's a zany idea. They fight, somebody wins, and then later on one realizes he needs the other's help so they team up. I know, I know. Too out there. Forget I said anything.

 

[The Kree]

Superman wins, assuming he isn't written to be an idiot.

 

[Messypandas]

Was anyone actually expecting a "winner" in this movie? I'm all for less spoilers, but, c'mon guys.

I think they were expecting one to actually kill the other i'm guessing. One can still win the fight and call a truce ppl.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

I didn't see that latest trailer everyone seems to be referring to =/

 

[Plum]

We already know neither will "win" and they stop to fight a bigger threat. So I'm not that interested. Trailers ruin it.

Yep, it's not even a spoiler at this point in my eyes since it's part of an official trailer meant to advertise the film. Although,

Spoiler

"big confrontation between two protagonists ending in a stalemate/teaming up"

is cliche as fuck so it would have been an easy guess anyway.

EDIT: Spoilered it for the lucky few who resisted watching the trailer and aren't spoiled already.

 

[bud]

Cavil face looks different..

they also photoshopped his hairline.

 

[strafer]

Hey, here's a zany idea. They fight, somebody wins, and then later on one realizes he needs the other's help so they team up. I know, I know. Too out there. Forget I said anything.

Then they start some kind of league with superheroes.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

All this campaign does is highlight how fuckin' stupid it was to name this movie "Batman v Superman" when everyone currently alive and possessing a synapse that can correctly fire KNOWS THEY'RE GOING TO TEAM UP.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Damn, I'll definitely be picking this up.

Pretty sure that's the subscribers cover.

 

[Dahbomb]

Superman about to get this work!

 

[Cipher Peon]

Batman is going to punch Superman in the FACE and it's gonna be GREAT

 

[The One and Done™]

Superman gained an ability to grow hair? Nice.

Spoiler

Kidding....just a shout to the Growthers on Gaf

 

[Alienous]

All this campaign does is highlight how fuckin' stupid it was to name this movie "Batman v Superman" when everyone currently alive and possessing a synapse that can correctly fire KNOWS THEY'RE GOING TO TEAM UP.

And they didn't even commit to the Batman v Superman concept in their marketing.

 

[The Kree]

Superman wins when he goes on television and tells the world that Bruce Wayne is Batman and then promptly flies a news crew into the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I like how the Kryptonitian symbol in his chest is a symbol of hope, and yet he has a big S in his crotch stitched by an Englishman.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

That's the best this batsuit has ever looked.

 

[obin_gam]

Then they start some kind of league with superheroes.

They could call it... The Righteous Group!

 

[SketchTheArtist]

They showed them working together doing some banter in that trailer.

We know how it's going to play out, you've also released a schedule of all those future movies with them in it also working together.

There's zero tension guys.

 

[Lifejumper]

But we already know the answer.... damn wtf did they think releasing the last trailer.

 

[Anth0ny]

Im going to guess neither. They fight to a stalemate before realizing they need to team up to fight the real bad guy.

we already know this thanks to the trailer lol
