Regular Guy wrote: Too much hurray over Doomsday, and that this trailer supposedly "gave away the entire movie." I mean, what were people expecting? An actual fight to the death b/w Batman and Superman? We've seen this Batman/Superman story play out too many times over the years for them to deviate from the formula. I'd rather them stick to what we've seen already rather than Zack Synder attempting to actually write an original story, and that'dve been x100 worst. Wouldn't an actual fight to the death without them eventually working together basically be Dark Knight Returns, and therefore be less original than them teaming up to fight Doomsday? Besides, unlike most Batman/Superman fights, neither is mind controlled in this movie, and appears to be an actual clash of ideologies instead of a mindless battle. I think this story is somewhat original, especially compared to some of Snyder's other movies, like Watchmen. But I agree that people are complaining about the trailer giving things away way too much. No one really thought that Batman and Superman would end up still being enemies, right? They knew a Justice League movie was coming up. And Doomsday is not only the most logical choice for a villain, and his appearance was rumored for a long time, but superhero movies rarely do keep the villain secret, except in cases when a supposed friend turns evil.
