SAN DIEGO - All is not well for Superman, audiences at Comic-Con found out on Saturday during a jam-packed and revealing Warner Bros. presentation in Hall H. The studio also debuted a first look at the comic-book movie “Suicide Squad” at the annual convention. But it was “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” that was the main event that fans had camped out for days to see. Stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot and Jesse Eisenberg were on hand to talk about the superhero showdown, too — a step up from last year's Comic-Con when none of the stars was allowed to talk. In the first full trailer for the film, out on March 25, 2016, we see a society that has turned against Superman (Cavill) following a massive disaster. While Holly Hunter's steadfast Senator schemes with Eisenberg's Lex Luthor to protect the public from the dangerous Superman, Affleck's Batman decides to take matters into his own hands. “The idea of Batman fighting Superman is a thing that happens all the time in comic books,” said Zack Snyder, who also directed “Man of Steel.” He likes to pay homage to Frank Miller's “The Dark Knight” but wanted to make clear that this story is not that story. Snyder said the story will also launch toward bigger conflicts with other superheroes. - AP
