Batman v Superman: What You Need to Know

There's a New Batman



Ben Affleck will take over the role of the Caped Crusader. His new suit and Batmobile made all kinds of waves when first released by director Zack Snyder.


Wayne Tower Gets Demolished



Ben Affleck's Batman has retired the cape and cowl–that is, until the Wayne Tower is destroyed by what looks to be Superman's laser vision. Batman, loyal to his city of Gotham, reveals his conflict with the Man of Steel, saying, "He has the power to wipe out the human race ... And we have to destroy him."


The Joker is Terrorizing Batman ... Again



With Jared Leto firmly entrenched as the new Joker, there are hints in the trailer that the Clown Prince of Crime could play a role in the film. He presumably scribbled "you let your family die" on a newspaper and vandalized a suit that reads "Hahah joke's on you Batman."


Superman Returns



Of course. Henry Cavill will reprise his role as the Man of Steel. But still, we can't stop wondering: Why are he and Batman battling each other?


Lex Luthor is the Big Bad Guy



Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) will play the iconic role of Lex Luthor, as seen in this sneak peek first revealed by Entertainment Weekly. In the trailer, Luthor proclaims, "The redcapes are coming," a nod to Paul Revere. But does that signify that Luthor views Superman as a savior and not just one of his enemies?


And He Has Kryptonite



Lex Luthor might have hair and government allies in Batman v Superman, but the biggest revelation is the kryptonite fragment shown in the trailer. The impact that kryptonite will have on Superman definitely will be something to keep an eye on.


Christian Bale Gave Ben Affleck Batman Advice IRL



After running into Christian Bale, the last man to put on the batsuit, Affleck sought out advice for playing the beloved character. Bale's words of wisdom? Make sure you can pee in that suit.


The Man of Steel Kneels Before Lex Luthor



In one of the more thought-provoking shots from the trailer, Superman is kneeling in front of Lex Luthor. Is this because Luthor has weakened the Man of Steel through kryptonite, or maybe something even worse?


Gal Gadot Debuts as Wonder Woman



Gal Gadot (maybe you saw her in Furious 7?) will bring Wonder Woman to the big screen in the Man of Steel sequel. In the trailer that debuted at Comic-Con, Wonder Woman can be seen using her Bracelets of Submission to cause an explosion. But whose side is she on?


Jeremy Irons is Alfred Pennyworth



As in most Batman films, Alfred Pennyworth will play a huge role in the upcoming film. Jeremy Irons will take over the part of Bruce Wayne's staunchest ally. In the Comic-Con trailer, Alfred returns to the Wayne Manor to question why Batman is warring with Superman, proclaiming that the Man of Steel "is not our enemy."


There's a Brand-New Batsuit



The new suit and smaller ears have been a hot topic since the reveal of Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader outfit.


General Zod Makes an Appearance



General Zod's role is unknown after Superman infamously killed him at the end of Man of Steel. Could Lex Luthor use Zod's body to find a weakness in Superman?


The Batmobile Looks More and More Like a Tank



Batman's new ride looks sleeker, faster and only a little less militarized than Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight-era Batmobile.


Jason Momoa as Aquaman



Good news! Everybody's favorite Dothraki, Jason Momoa, will bring Aquaman out from the deep ... to unite the seven, apparently.
