Pow! Blam! Thunk! The latest Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer is out of the gates and the air is thick with punches, kicks and... catty putdowns?
Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are going to war, and here are the big takeaways from the latest teaser for Zack Snyder's superhero bust-up:
1. That 'versus' isn't just for show
Bruce and Clark are not Super friends. Even before they start duking it out, the two heroes share in an exchange so frosty it probably iced up the drinks of nearby partygoers.
That "freaks dressed like clowns" comment was particularly below the belt, Bruce. What a joker!
2. Batman blames the Man of Steel for... well, Man of Steel

Zack Snyder is confronting the criticisms about Superman essentially flattening Metropolis in Man of Steel head on - and Batman is his mouthpiece.
"That sonovabitch brought the war to us." Many fans would agree with him. But what's Superman's side of the argument?

3. "Civil liberties are being trampled on"

The film won't only be addressing Superman's actions against Zod's army. It also gets into the classic superhero question of whether it's right to act outside of the law (check out Daredevil to see Matt Murdock try to punch his way out of that dilemma).
The problem is that both Batman and Superman share this view, but only in regards to each other. One "thinks he's above the law", the other is "an alien who could burn the whole place down". They're going to need a good reason to put aside their differences...
4. Doomsday is our villain

Step forward Doomsday, the unstoppable juggernaut best known for his '90s comics debut in which he punched Superman until he was thoroughly dead.
If he wasn't created by Lex Luthor from the body of Zod, we'll eat our cape.
5. Everyone seems to know who's who and what's what

Those superhero secret identities don't seem to be so very secret, with Wayne and Kent making it very clear that they know about the costumes hiding under each other's shirts.
And it seems that even Lex might be in on the secret as he punches his nemesis in the chest and says, "You should not pick a fight with this person." Could the genius billionaire have seen through the impenetrable glasses-and-haircut disguise already?
6. Jesse Eisenberg stars as Super Jesse Eisenberg

We've seen his Lex in the previous teasers, but this is the first time we've got a proper look at his decidedly Joker-like performance. The wise-cracking, fast-talking (dare we say incoherently jibbering?) take on the villain is Jesse Eisenberg turned up to eleven.
The internet has definite views about the reveal.
7. A city will burn

Batman v Superman may be addressing the destruction of Metropolis, sure, but it looks like there's another city on the chopping block in this film.
Could that field of burning rubble be the remains of Gotham? And what will Batman have to do in his spare time if it is?
8. Wonder Woman is going to be awesome

This trailer gives us our first look at Wonder Woman in action, complete with incredibly useful, nuke-proof supershield. Take note, Captain America, this is how you should handle a disc of seemingly magical metal.
It looks like she'll be more than capable of giving the boys a run for their money, which is just as it should be.
9. Batman breaks out his safari wardrobe

Historically, Batman was known for having a diverse wardrobe, be it going about topless with only his cowl on to donning a full-on rainbow costume.
If you look carefully, you'll spot his latest sartorial outing in the trailer: commando Batman! Complete with... elbow length cocktail gloves?
10. Aquaman and Cyborg are yet to be revealed

We've been promised the first appearance of Jason Momoa and Ray Fisher as the two future Justice Leaguers in this movie.
As of this trailer, we're still waiting for a sign of how they'll be making their debut.
11. They might have given all three acts away

Does the trailer give too much away? From frosty socialising to fisticuffs to ganging up against Doomsday, we feel like we have a pretty good idea about the structure of the film.
What do you think? Is a spoilery trailer a bad sign? Or does Snyder still have a few more surprises under his hat?
All will be revealed on March 25, when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice lands in cinemas.
