The new Captain America trailer is AWESOME. Except I can't believe they've got Spidey choosing Iron Man's side. Come on!

It's a look I'm not used to, for sure, and I noticed it right away—haven't seen it enough yet to know whether I'll like it. But I think everything else looks fantastic.

How do the eyes on the costume squint?  <comicbookguy> Boy, I really hope somebody got fired over that one </comicbookguy>

Movie looks good, but it seems like they're trying to cram an awful lot into one film.  And that "big throwdown" would be over in about 2 seconds, Iron Man's side is comically stronger than the Cap group.

I dunno, I like it, it's the old costume from the comic books. The CGI looks a bit off for sure, but they have about a couple of months to polish that.

They're doing it like Deadpool, no?

I can't come up with any reasons as to why those eyes squint, except for one thing. Marvel is probably just saying "whatever, this is a comic book movie, and the fan boys would like it, so lets just do it".

Except in comics, Scarlet Witch is stronger then all of them.  She what she did when she had a mental breakdown.

I'm going to go out on the limb and predict that "Batman V Superman" strongly disappoints while "Ghostbusters" is surprisingly decent. 

Gonna pull these numbers out of my butt.  These are my metacritic predictions.

Batman V Superman = 58
Suicide Squad = 46
Ghostbusters = 72

Serious question from a casual super hero fan. Without a boatload of Kryptonite how does Batman even stand a chance against Superman? Batman's just a guy in a suit with some fancy toys, Superman is the real deal.

He's Batman!

Seriously, it's the same theory as Superman vs. Lex Luthor.  Superman is so incredibly powerful, he doesn't think that hard about a lot of things because he doesn't need to.  That leaves openings for a genius like Batman to exploit.

Practically, it's the same reason why every single fight with The Flash doesn't end in .8 seconds.  Fans actually want to see them throwdown against each other.

It is rumored that the suit is a Tony Stark design which is one of the reasons Spider-man is on Stark's side.

Easy answer, he can't.

In the comic books, there is always kryptonite.   Though batman did create his own red kryptonite.

its based on the comic "Dark Knight Returns" from the mid 80s.  An aging batman fights superman using a metal suit basically identical to the one being used in this movie.  I think it was laced with kryptonite.  There's actually a animated version of "the dark knight returns" that was pretty good.  It might be streaming on Netflix.  Will be interesting to see how much they borrowed from it.

Batman is supposed to be a lot smarter compared to Superman.  So he competes using his mind, tactics and his knowledge of psychology and human nature.

Also, in the comics, Superman has a code where he will never use his full strength because he will kill people.   He has violated this a few times, though but it is rare.   This is one reason, a lot of folks did not like the last Superman movie, because he killed so easily and damaged Metropolis beyond all reason.

Thanks for the insight.

I wonder if there will be a Clark Kent vs Bruce Wayne encounter.

For the people asking, spiderman isn't actually squinting (as in the effect from deadpool). The high resolution pictures show that the eyes are actually mechanical (possibly engineered by Stark).
