[Updated] Here’s The Official ‘Batman V. Superman’ Trailer
After yesterday’s leak Warner Brothers has dropped the official trailer to Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice onto youtube. It’s still incredibly dark, a little grainy, and somehow doesn’t look very good.
Original Story follows:
The Batman V. Superman trailer has leaked online. A day ago Zack Snyder released teaser footage online for the forthcoming brawler that really didn’t show much if anything. It was an extended take of the suits worn by each hero, effectively creating a teaser for the teaser. Footage for this superhero sequel is extremely anticipated so this leak is huge.
We now have some idea of the story behind the film. The world fears Superman after Man of Steel. The fearful voiceover of the trailer seems to imply that the entire world has caught a fever for the demolition of Superman. There are some words from Jeremy Irons that imply a good man has gone evil. Is this Superman? Is he being corrupted by Luthor? That’s where my money is at. There really isn’t much of Batman or Superman in this teaser. And, the strange thing is, if you attended SDCC last year, or managed to get a peek at the bootleg footage. That made it into this teaser. And, it’s really the only action piece in the whole thing. But! Now it’s accompanied by the Ben Affleck bat growl saying “Tell me, do you bleed?” “…You will,” which should give chills on anyone’s spine.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes to theaters March 25th, 2016 and stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

My two cents: This film still has a lot to prove. A LOT. This trailer doesn’t really do much to quell the fears that Snyder isn’t capable of a superhero movie with any substance. There is a ton of style on display, from the dark tones to the foreboding narration. But there is really nothing of effect that gives me chills, or excites me just yet. Perhaps that will go away when I’m not watching it through someone’s out of focus cameraphone, but I doubt it.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
