Excitement should increase among the skeptical.

If not excitement than maybe a softening of their hard line stance that it's going to suck. Which is getting on my nerves.
This is looking utterly epic. Hell this trailer
was epic. I tried to figure out a way they could possibly still screw this movie up despite what we've seen and I don't think it's possible. It's definitely going to be good, the question is if the total package is as great as the snippets we've seen. I'm VERY excited. Can't wait to see it opening night.
Hands down this is the best Batman has ever been in combat. It's the Arkham games brought to life. No more goons falling over for no reason ala the Nolan days. There's always going to be Nolan era hardliners, not wanting this new series to be successful. But I'd argue they're not Batman fans to begin with. Because Batman fans should love this trailer.
Did the fight scene at the beginning remind anyone else of Batsy fighting a bunch of dudes at once in Arkham Asylum? I was trying to think where I'd seen that before, I knew it wasn't in a movie, but it really reminds me of the fighting in the video game which to me was epic and looked what a Bat-ass whoopin should look like.
And I said from the day it was announced he had been cast that I was so looking forward to Jeremy Irons as Alfred. His bit at the beginning was utter perfection. Everything we have seen of him has been so great. But then again has there ever been an Alfred that wasn't amazing? Alan Napier? Check. Michael Gough? Check. Efrem Zimbalist? Double Check. Michael Caine? Check. Whoever voiced him in Under the Red Hood? Check. JB Blanc (Beware the Batman)? Check. And now Jeremy. Like, our favorite butler is probably the greatest Batman character (based off portrayals) ever. That just hit me. lol.

You beat me to it! lol
I'm so happy with what I'm seeing. So fast, brutal and efficient.

Really dig this trailer. Good fights and shows that the grounded, handheld style of MOS is out the window. Snyder is bringing his style back and I see that as a positive thing.

No kidding. I saw somebody who complained that he couldn't tell what was going on in the Batman fight scene. Don't know what he was smoking.
The good thing about this fight scene was that it was edited in a quick AND coherent manner to give the illusion that Batman
could take on a dozen crooks at once. The problem with the fight choreography in the last decade was that it was so sloppy and badly cut to the point you couldn't tell what was happening, crooks falling over as TDK already said, or goons just stood there despite being armed with guns...at point blank range! And unlike here, Batman wasn't even quick enough to overwhelm them either, which made the fight scenes worse.
Thankfully, the action looks to have been improved ten-fold. Some people will make try to make derogatory comparisons to video games (perhaps as another dig against Snyder), but I see that as a compliment. Any Arkham game influence is welcome in my eyes.
So far, the action looks good, the acting looks good (I don't care about Oscars or self-congratulatory awards ceremonies, I just ask for actors deliver the goods for the roles they're playing), special effects is looks fine...now it's up to the story.
It seems like Superman pushes and throws Batman around at the beginning of the fight without a care in the world. As you would expect.
But then Batman pulls his trick and Superman loses the majority of his power. This is surely the moment at the end of the trailer, where Batman blocks Superman's strike and Superman looks dumbfounded.
"It's time for you to feel what it's like to be a man."
That's going to be a great moment.

That was an awesome trailer because we finally get to see Batman fight with a degree of physicality that is more brute force and less stylized to satisfy the limits of his costume. That definitely perked my interest. LOVED the scene where he actually blocks one of Superman's punches and Superman is in complete dismay. Just hoping we haven't seen every good scene in this movie. Hopefully this will be just the tip of the iceberg. Looking forward to it.

I've been a Batman fan since I was 4 and I didn't love this trailer. I liked it and thought it was cool in parts, but I didn't love it. It's all a matter of opinion.
God bless you! God bless everyone!

I completely understand where you're coming from and like your stance. When I say I like this trailer, that is beginning and the end of it. This trailer had some awesome pieces in it for me. But the actual movie is a whole other matter. A trailer just has to perk your interest. That trailer has really front loaded this movie. Expectations are very high so lets see if the movie itself lives up to it's own billing.
A trailer is supposed to give you reasons to want to see the film, I'd say. I hope the film will be great and honestly, I don't see why I shouldn't.

The trailer gives me hope the character is being handled to my liking.
