We already have Injustice as a "Superman's a bad guy, play Batman twice in story to stop his tyranny" (yeah they have good universe Superman defeat Regime Supes, but did they really have to give both Batman a chapter to play in?).

Show me a time they deliberately make Batman out to be the bad guy in one of his film trailers, and I'll be quiet.

This just reeks of DC getting scared and relying on Batman to draw people in and asking for forgiveness for pissing so many people off with Man of Steel.

But sure, I'm just bitching because I want a Superman film to suck, not because DC is literally giving in to negative feedback and appealing mainly to Batman fanboys (the ones who don't care whether he kills or not, because it still counts as a "win").

No kidding.

People think the film looks bad because shit in the trailer makes it look bad. There's no hidden agenda, people are sick of DC's entirely reactionary mentality to every movie.
