"Is it really surprising that the most powerful man in the world should be a figure of controversy?" asks a voice in the opening seconds of the shaky, cell phone-quality video, which includes Portuguese subtitles.
Other voices chime in with comments about corruption, chaos, and leadership. "We as a population on this planet have been looking for a savior," remarks one person, while another notes: "Human beings have a horrible track record of following people with great power."
Holly Hunter also comments on the matter. "The world has been so caught up with what he can do that no one has asked what he should do," she says of Superman (played by Henry Cavill). The clip also reveals the first footage of Ben Affleck as the caped crusader.
"Tell me," Batman challenges Superman in his trademark husky voice. "Do you bleed? Because you will."
The preview does not include appearances from cast superheroes including Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) — but it definitely prompted reaction from the Internet.
DISLIKE
Just watched the leaked BATMAN V SUPERMAN trailer and… Boy. That is everything I don't like about superhero movies crammed into one trailer.

Batman vs. Superman trailer looks like trash. Those movies take themselves way too seriously.

"Do you bleed? You will." This isn't just Frank Miller Batman, this is Frank Miller's Goddamn Batman.

That's Batman v. Superman Trailer looked dope. Ben don't look bad in that Batman suit. His voice is a little roboty though.
