First Official ‘Batman v Superman’ Trailer is Coming on 4/20 (UPDATED)
UPDATE – 4/16/15: The trailer leaked online, so Warners released it ahead of schedule. Check it out here:
On Wednesday night, director Zack Snyder tweeted of an occasion which will give at least a lucky few their first true glimpse of this impossibly hyped feature.
Next Monday (4/20, as mentioned above) an IMAX event — highlighting the trailer — will be held in theaters throughout the U.S. There’s no word yet on whether or not there will be a simultaneous (or soon thereafter) online premiere of the trailer. In the meantime, however, an ever-so-brief teaser can be peeped on Snyder’s Twitter here.
If you’ve not been keeping up, Batman v Superman is the second flick in a planned series of movies, creating for DC Comics‘ stable of superhero properties an expanded cinematic universe along the lines of the one Disney has created with Marvel ; an unprecedented bet which has grossed literal billions of dollars for the studio.
