No time to waste. I’m losing my mind.

1. The Tone isn’t as Somber as We Thought- The previous trailer gave us a film that looked downright depressing. This trailer confirmed that yes, this film will have its feet very firmly placed on the ground while also allowing a window of fantasy and extravagance to be present. I know it’s only a trailer but the film seems to be finding that sweet spot right in between the Avengers (the fun happy-go-lucky good time) and Christopher Nolan’s Gotham (dark and very loyal to real world adaptability).

2. Batman is Front and Center- This film seems to give both icons their fair share of screen time but from the start of the trailer the message seems to be clear that the man we are going to really focus on this time around is Bruce Wayne. NO complaints. I know there was so much negative buzz when he got the roll but when I found out, I think we got the man who truly embodies this billionaire. It is going to touch on everyone but Wayne/Batman seems to be the glue that will hold it all together.

3. Wonder Woman is THAT strong- We see the amazon princess get thrown into a wall and come up barely scratched. It was done in such a way that your mind immediately jumps to Superman. We are getting a really strong leading lady here. I wonder (no pun intended), if the world fears Superman, and Batman wants to destroy him for his power, shouldn’t he be afraid of this Wonder Woman? Time will tell what that will look like!

If there is any connection to the comics (which all signs point to yes) I am sure Batman will be thinking about the method to take down each member of the Justice League should the need ever come.

4. Kryptonite is Back People- Good Old Lex (or young rather) is seen dazzling in front of a large green stone. Ten guesses what it is! Yes, we are getting the rare kryptonite in the all new film and something that Batman will probably strongly consider using should he need it.

5. The Batman Universe is ALL Here- Not sure if anyone caught it, but there is a suit covered in yellow spray point that can come from no one else other than the Joker. The suit, if you look closely, has the R of Robin. I got chills when I realized it because what we have here is not just an old Bruce Wayne but a Bruce who has suffered the “Death in the Family” of Jason Todd. I am not sure how strongly tied to the plot this will be but it will make it easier to understand his personal vendetta with Superman and the death of all those people in Wayne Tower.

With the Jason Todd suit present it hit me, what we are getting is not a unique interpretation of the Batman like in the 90’s or bringing him to a realism through Nolan, we are getting THE BATMAN. This is clearly the comic book version of the character and what we are going to see in this film and future films is a Batman that is tied faithfully to his source material. I have no words to express that excitement.

6. Is that…Aquaman?- Not sure if everyone caught it, but just before we see the clip of the Wayne deaths (something that doesn’t need to be in every Batman story by the way) we see a young boy swimming in the sea reaching for something in the water. It struck me curiously that it came right before the Wayne murders. It made me believe that it wasn’t Bruce and it couldn’t have been Clark since he lived nowhere near an ocean…Did we just see a young Arthur Curry? We know that all the Justice League will appear at the end of the film and if this was indeed Aquaman I think it’s a fun reminder of what is still to come.

7. Watch out Marvel- No shade! I still really enjoy those movies! But this looks like it could very well top in a single punch what took Marvel years to build.

Only thing I’m unsure about….What the hell are you wearing Batman?
