Red Son is my favorite Superman story, so I hope there is some influence from that. I really hope they go with the idea that Lex Luthor is Superman's enemy for all the right reasons.
Anyway, the new trailer has me convinced to see it just for Affleck. His portrayal of Bruce Wayne looks like it will be very intense.
On a related note, he totally captures what I call "disapproving parent face". For example, my son has spent months getting over his fear of electric hand dryers, but then a week ago some guy came into the restroom, saw my son eyeing the hand dryer with barely-mastered fear, and decided it would be funny to set it off and start screaming as if it were eating his hand, causing tears and nightmares for days. My expression:

Never really got the Affleck hate. Beyond a handful of rubbish films (everyone does rubbish films), he's done some good stuff, particularly in recent years.
He's a good fit for the role, just as Cavill is a good Superman (2nd best after Reeve IMHO). Just hope the film does them justice and isn't just another destruction fest.
I'm with you on not getting the Affleck hate. He's the Star in the movie The Town which I absolutely love. So he's at least ok in my book. Also I think he's got a good Bruce Wayne look

Nothing too revealing -- the lady escorting Zod's body is Mercy -- Luthor's driver/bodyguard.

While recounting how he got stuck in a porta potty on the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" set, Michael Shannon -- who played Zod in "Man of Steel" -- incidentally revealed to Vulture that his character would undergo a physical change.
"I was in my costume, and I couldn't use my fingers because in the sequel I have flippers instead of hands," he recalled. "So I had these wax flippers on my fingers, and I couldn't open the door, and I could hear Zack [Snyder, the director] being like, 'Where's Shannon? Where the feth is he?' and the whole crew was standing around. I was like, knocking on the door with my flippers, 'Let me out of here!'" He was later rescued by "the craft-service guy, who doesn't have the best craft service... He was actually paying attention to what was going on. He came over and he opened the door for me. Otherwise, I would have gotten fired."
At the end of "Man of Steel," Superman killed Zod in a very controversial and polarizing move. Trailers for "Batman v Superman" have revealed that Zod's body, which is in Lex Luthor's possession, will be a plot point during the followup film. The idea that he will have flippers hints that Zod's body will undergo a physical change, giving credence to the rumor he may become Doomsday in this film or in "Justice League."

Heroic Hollywood are reporting on another scoop for the film, this time the fact that Wonder Woman will allegedly have a major role in the film’s climactic fight scene... against DC Comics villain Doomsday. The fight will see Diana lop one of Doomsday’s hands off with her sword, only for the monstrous being to grow a “bone sword” out of the stump before engaging in combat once again. As ever, pinch of salt and all that.
... wondering if the "flippers" will then be CGIed into bone claws/blades/whatever ?

Yeah, that sounds about right, actually. Doesn't sound like there will be many surprises in this film, if we assume Lex turns Zod into Doomsday.

Yeaaaaaah. Either he does a lot of drugs or he's now in CYA mode.
He also said this in that interview (didn't see it mentioned in this particular article):
"Maybe they should add it, I don't know! Maybe in Part 3 Doomsday will have flipper hands. I mean, look, nothing would make me happier than to work with [director] Zack [Snyder] again. He's hysterical and he's a lot of fun to work with."
Maybe I'm just all twisted around at this point, but I found it funny that he name-dropped Doomsday. So did he goof again and let something slip? Or was that an intentional misdirection?

I think that originally (a few cosmic reboots ago), Lex's reason for hating Superman was for causing his baldness.
On reflection, I actually hope that's what BvS goes with, just to make it a bit less srsbsnss.

You've seen the trailer though right?
This is srsly srsbsnss.
Also, the director (I think?) has already said that funny/snark is Marvel's territory - they're going full Nolan here.
Sad to read that - clever and witty is something I look for in films...............something that is beyond Nolan...........

I think WB is 100% right to do it differently. Hell, even Marvel doesn't do the Marvel thing well most of the time. They've done 12 films, and what, 4 of them are genuine keepers? And one of those 4 -- Cap 2 -- doesn't try to be "glib-erific."
Introducing Batfleck is obviously a large part of what BvS is about, and that's going to influence the tone of the film. I don't expect the JL films to be light-hearted either, but I think we'll see some lighter films in the DCCU. David Ayer recently said that there'll be a lot more humor in Suicide Squad than people expect. Although I expect a good chunk of that humor to trend dark, instead of dance-offs and such.
Can't think which of them is not a keeper apart from Cap A 1 which was average as was Guardians of the Galaxy. Thor 1 and 1, Avengers 1and 2, Iron Man , Cap 2, were truely great Superhero films - plot, style, lfilm ength and humour all combing for a great cinema experience.
Of course Agents of Shield was a massive swing and a miss - Unlike Agent Carter....
I wanted to like to the new Superman film and once we have got past the luaghably bad Krypton sequances it was not bad - till we came to god awful and dull final fight - especially when it is compared to the slickness and style of the end of Avengers and Thor 2 - propoer Superhero fights.
I hope that the new film is not another Nolanesque - ie overlong and effects driven, disaster - Wonder Woman looks interesting and the bits with Batman look cool but Luthor looks awful - I hope there is more to him than they have shown so far. It just seems like the people who make DC films don't want to actually make superhero films ?

EDIT: It would be awesome if they made Luthor a nuanced bad guy. AKA some of the themes of that article, that he goes "bad" because he views Superman as part of an oppressive government or something similar.

Longer trailer drops , of course, during the Jimmy Kimmel show later in the week.
Also started filming the Wonder Woman solo film, initial pictures seem to confirm that at least part of that film is set during WW I.
