To be fair, he didn't have many chances to in MoS. He was only allowed to look listless, contemplative, or angry.
Hopefully this film gives him a chance to imbue his Superman with some more life.
Well I mean it's not like Cavill was given anything to be charismatic about and it was there in the brief instances he could afford to give it.
Just curious, but did everyone miss the robot voice in the last trailer? He has it when he says, "Thought she was with you" to Superman at the end. It's just a throat mic in the cowl which changes his voice slightly. Same thing Oliver uses in Arrow.

From the looks of it I am glad that they will be doing superman justice in this movie.

Tell me more about these plot holes you've found.
You guys talking shit about Batgod again?
thanks for the reminder that this will surely be the most beastly onscreen batman ever.

So far the only shot where the costume looks good.

They weren't going for comedic impact on the 'you will', were they? If so props. Hilarious.
Not a plot hole, just feels superfluous kinda.

TV Spot #2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMoNUB0O5o4
there are so many things here that are just inexplicable
- why is Batman trying to run over Superman? Doesn't he know he's virtually indestructible? and if so, why the heck wouldn't he know? Great detective work there. Maybe he was testing the Batmobile's new bumpers, and if so, why go against him, he could have found a dog or a tramp to test them on
- why the hell is Superman standing still in the middle of a road at night? Screams attention whore to me. well, genius, at least do it when people are around if that's your intent
- Batman slowly getting out of the car wreck like he means businness; backfire total, it looks insanely goofy because he just wrecked his own car for basically no reason
- "Tell me, do you bleed" "No, but your tank surely is leaking more than I am"
- Superman not talking. why. say something. did Lois swallow your tongue whole
- Batman waiting for Superman to go away so he could be all menacious. Reminded me when I used to murmur some feeble insults on my father's back because I was too afraid of telling him eye to eye

That sure is a lot of assumptions over a 30 second tv ad that's cut the scene up into pieces. It's almost like its out of context from the rest of the movie too.
sure, that however doesn't exclude the fact it's a dumb as hell mishmash of cuts to put in a trailer, because it almost doesn't make any sense

From the looks of it it seems that Superman caught Batman by surprised. Considering that Batman has seen what Superman is capable of I doubt he'd be trying to run him over.
Most people won't look at a 30 second tv spot with extreme scrutiny. There's no reason to. "Batman and Superman conflict? Oh that's cool. Movie comes out soon? That's cool too." Is the entire point of TV spots. It does what it's supposed to do. There's no reason to be so critical of it.

I wonder why some people even bother watching anything related to this movie when they know they're going to hate it before the clip even plays.
Slow news day for some people, I guess.
Who cares what most people think of it? Sure, most who watch these tv spots are not going to be critical of them; that doesn't mean you can't be.
As someone who wants this movie to be good, I think both this spot and the last trailer have looked awful and disappointing, doubly so considering how good the MoS trailers were cut. I know that most people won't take any kind of critical lens to the trailer/tv spots, and yet, that doesn't sway my opinion of them at all.
"Don't believe everything you hear son"
Now that's the manly trash talking Batman I know of... not this feeble dude who throws insults once the other guy has left the block.
He is probably making fun of the critiques in this thread or at least that is how I took his post.
This is an amazing clip.
Without the spoilerific full trailer, it would have been perfect.

Man, I wanna be excited for this movie, but a lot of the stuff they've shown since the initial reveal have just killed it for me.
The humor in this spot just doesn't work at all. And if they weren't going for humor, then it plays even worse.

...really. These clips man.
Being critical is fine. But there's no reason to be critical of something that we don't even have context of. How can you be critical of you have no idea how something plays out or even begins?

"Don't believe everything you hear son" Lol like as if he's THAT much older than him. Can't wait to see them go head to head while uncovering their alter identities.
I mean I would have preferred more non-action fun clips like for the media campaign as opposed to the big explode-y poorly edited trailer we last received.
I am excited as fuck for this movie and I wished the media campaign did not provide such fertile ground for the negative Nellys.
About 11 years. Enough time that Bruce can be a believably condescending dick about the age difference.
Really interested in seeing what they do with Lex because he doesn't seem far removed from any of the previous movie versions yet.

From what's been exposed online from interviews, he really looses his shit after he looses his hair and becomes the Lex Luthor everyone is waiting for. Although behind the scenes he is that LL already. But loosing his hair and everything else that ensues causes him to give zero fucks.
my criticism is directed to the trailer itself and how it's been put together, not the movie. You usually don't have goofy ass, nonsensical scenes in them when it comes to action movies, at least in my opinion
Because it's something they're putting out to represent the movie, and it's kinda perfectly normal to have a positive or negative reaction to it?
by that logic, no one should ever be excited by trailers or think they look cool, because how could you have any idea how it plays out in context?

Ugh. I'm a huge Batman/DC fan, and each piece of material they release makes me feel worse about this film. I'm getting serious Green Lantern vibes. I'm sure it will be better than that, but more in terms of missing the mark in terms of tone. I hope it's amazing and I'm wrong but it's harder for me to believe each time.
The other thing that's weird about the majority of the trailers is that Henry Cavil barely speaks. He really needed a line here to make the exchange more believable.

I'm almost certain that they used the exact same voice during those two lines, it's subtle but you can hear it

I don't get this. Batman gets up, looks Superman dead in the eye and threatens him. Superman doesn't entertain it, flies away. Batman finishes his rhetorical line, which he would've done anyway; also which Superman still probably heard.
Batman wasn't trying to run him over, if you watch carefully Superman literally stands there while Batman is drifting a corner so he would catch him off guard when he kicks the car.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
So context makes poor dialogue better?
What could possibly make "BOYS!" or "YOU DON'T WANT TO PICK A FIGHT WITH THIS PERSON GET IT?" effective? How is "I THOUGHT SHE WAS WITH YOU" supposed to be funny? Both are failed attempts at humor, something I thought this movie would have very little of.
You seem to forget that these things are subjective. For example, I find them funny. A lot of people do too. Would you prefer Batman to wise crack about making an omlette instead?
