Even though the title is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it's probably a safe bet that Batman and Superman don't fight each other nonstop throughout the entire movie. At some point they're going to have a mutual enemy that brings them together and paves the way for the Dawn of Justice part of the title.
But until we get to the actual movie, the marketing is basically going to be the same debate that's been raging in school yards and on online message boards for decades: whose side are you on, Batman's or Superman's? These two new TV spots don't have enough time to layout each hero's advantages and disadvantages, but they do try to make an argument for why the other needs to be stopped. And to be fair, they do both raise some good points.
Yes, Clark Kent is right to think Batman is a danger when he takes justice into his own hands. But Bruce Wayne also raises a pretty good point that the best defense for a hypothetically out of control Superman is to take him out of the game completely.
So, are you team Batman?
Or team Superman?
Or if you think you'd rather be team Wonder Woman, you may want to check out this new international trailer for the movie. It contains very little new footage, but it does have one bombshell reveal: Wonder Woman probably doesn't have her invisible plane in this movie. If she did, she probably wouldn't be flying business class on Turkish Airlines.

It's this one, in particular, that has the Internet abuzz. Showing Batman looking out over what appears to be a bombed-out field imprinted with an Omega symbol -- long associated with the villain Darkseid -- is it some sort of clue? We'll have to wait until March to find out. [via Collider/ComingSoon.net]
