The retrospect of this thread is amazing.

BvS Comic-Con trailer raised my interest levels from "I don't give a s**t" to "Hmmm, this looks interesting". It could be the push forward that Warner/DC needs in their movie department, or it could be the straw that breaks this particular camel's back, and their leaning really low because of MoS. The color palette has been brightened a little, it looks more "comic book-y", but I'm not sold on them using the carnage in MoS as a plot point; "I meant to do that." Oh, and Jesse Eisenberg looks out of place, and terrible as Lex Luthor (that "... red capes are coming" quip might sound kewl, but make no sense). Wonder Woman actually looks cool. At the very least, if this movie does fail, I still want a Batfleck solo movie. Everything I've seen so far of this Batman has been nothing but awesome.

Now, Suicide Squad ... looks dry. A real "meh". Would anyone care for it if not for the inclusion of Batman and the Joker? Also, thank you Joss Whedon for starting an annoying trend with the "slowed down, creepy" trailer music, it was already run into the ground within the first two trailers for Ultron. And, what did they do to Harley Quinn?! The costume was already too much, but now, to boot, she sounds like a crack fiend! Leto sounds like Ledger. And again with DC movies, everything looks dark. This wouldn't be a problem if there were some variety, but it still dark, dark, dark. The two good things are that Viola Davis is in the movie, and Tom Hardy, who read the script, isn't. Is David Ayer any good? I've seen nothing from him, but End of Watch and Fury did peaked my interest.
