Tonight is Warner Bros. big IMAX event for "Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice," but some of the sting has certainly been taken out of it. With the trailer leaking last week, followed by a hastily posted official version late on Friday, reaction has been very divided.

"Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice" opens on March 25, 2016. Check out the posters below, along with a retro trailer mashup that tosses Christopher Reeve and Adam West into Snyder’s promo.
