Well done guys better than anything I've attempted.

kguillou- I really like that you included the Daily Planet staff.

 

[CGNefarious]

These... are actually pretty good. I must say, I wasn't expecting much from fanfic trailers but I actually enjoyed reading what you guys have come up with. Gets me excited for what we'll actually get.

 

[AnneFan]

A very quick attempt at a teaser:

A black screen, a voice-over of Lex Luthor at a press conference:

Lex Luthor: Tell me - why should we trust this guy?
*Shot of protesters holding anti-Superman banners in the street, chanting.*
Lex Luthor: Some say he saved the world, but I see nothing but a mess to clean up.
*Montage of MoS Metropolis fight, with buildings collapsing.*
Lex Luthor: He looks human, but he's not. He's an alien.
*Flashback of Kal-El's rocket leaving Krypton.*
Lex Luthor: I put my faith in humanity and the good people of Earth.
*A shot of Batman sitting in blackness in the batcave. A close-up of his eyes, deep in thought.*

Cue title card.

 

[GreenKToo]

We hear Jonathan Kent's voice over. ''You have to decide what kind of man you want to be''.

We see several newspaper headlines rush past. ''superman saves dozens from highrise fire'', ''superman stops bank robbers'', ''superman stops oil spill'', etc, etc.

we see Full on reporter Clark along with Lois. we see a quick shot of lois holding a folder that says, "lex-corp". Lois looks at clark with a ''we got him'' look.

Lex, and I mean the ''Lex'' that we all wanna see. He's furious at an article he's reading that Clark and Lois co-wrote wrote about him. He throws a glass at his assistant in a rage.

Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor in front of tv cameras, shaking hands. some sort of business deal has just taken place.

Clark on the farm, smiling, and relaxing with his mother. Maybe show him helping out there as well.

A quick shot of Batman and Superman squaring off in the rain, lightning flashes.

W.W. looking up at a small plane that's falling, she rockets up toward it.

Cyborg running. ( maybe down a street that's in ruins, he seems to be desperately trying to reach something in time )

Several world cities in ruins.

we hear Jonathan's voice again ''you were sent here for a reason'' as we see superman laying in a deep crater in the middle of a forest, bloodied.

Batman in the cave, looking at several different computer monitors. Alfred is behind him. we see a massive fight on the computer screens between supes and some sort of large figure. Batman squints his eyes in a frown.

A shot of the military taking on a huge figure.

A quick shot of Batman, Supes, and WW, standing side by side in what looks to be a standoff against something.

Lastly, a shot of Clark Kent running as he looks up and back. We hear jor-el's voiceover as Clark runs into an alley. "You can save them, you can save them all''. Clark stops and looks around. He takes off his glasses.

The camera then pans in to his chest.

He reaches for his shirt with both hands, but just as we are ready to be rewarded, the camera fades to black before we see the \S/.

 

[Fallen Angel]

We need a shirt rip from Clark in this film. He is working at the Daily Planet now.

 

[TheNecessaryEvi]

Pretty quick one I just came up with. I wish I could find a specific piece of music, but think of it as a slow, almost dream like piano piece. All of the sounds, except for the dialogue, are muffled.

****
Company logos drift onto the screen.

The camera tracks over Zod's dead body. We see someone standing over it. We go up, and we see it's Lex, his head tilted, eyes narrowed.

Clark floats high above Metropolis, looking almost mournful.

Lois is running down a hallway, one that can be assumed to be the Daily Planet.

Lex: You don't understand, do you?

On the ground, amidst the wreckage of the World Engine's creation, we see a rock, green crystals growing out of it.

We see a hospital, doctors rushing around, many injured people are seen. Bruce is walking among them, and he's trying hard to look strong but it's clear he's disturbed.

Lex: You caused all of this, alien.

Clark is holding an in unidentified persons body, screaming.

Lex: Pain.

Our first shot of Batman. He's standing in the rain, his gloved hand on the batsignal- the camera traces over a golden plaque, the name Jim Gordon is glimpsed.

Lex: It's about time someone put you down.

Superman flies upwards, his face bloodied.

We see Batman's eyes, and he doesn't look happy- cut to another man's eyes, or eye, he's wearing an eyepatch.

We see Batman block a sword with his gauntlets.

Lex: I'm ending your world, before you can end ours.

Lex walks with purpose, breathing heavily- he punches a kneeling Superman, who falls over and spits out blood.

BATMAN v. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

The piano piece ends, and now we cut to a rooftop. Superman is in the air, looking very very angry, his eyes lighting red. A golden rope encircles his abdomen, and he's pulled down into the rooftop hard. We see Wonder Woman holding the lasso.

Diana: Stay down, boy.

End

 

[MrMaooz]

I want to see Supes and Lois together.

 

[Naked Shia]

Lex Luthor is in a meeting with Bruce Wayne.
We can see Superman flying through the window.
Lex becomes mad "I ain't trusting no sucka like him. I asked him why I should trust him and he told me a yo momma joke".
We then see Bruce with his batsuit but without his cowl on, in the batcave. He's studying a book of yo momma jokes.
Then We see Martha Kent in her house. It's night. She hears a loud noise. Krypto goes out. A lightning strikes, and during that brief moment of light, she sees Krypto being taken.
Suddenly, Batman is lifting her on the rooftop of the house "TELL YOUR SON I WILL FIND HIM! SWEAR TO ME!"
Supes comes, and find Martha crying, with a paper on her head written "yo momma is so weak she broke her hip when I threw her from the rooftop".
credit rolls.

Lex as played by the fake SHH Samuel Jackson

This ...

 

[steve4991]

That trailer synopsis that was rumored a couple days ago involving Ben Affleck narrating and showing the Metropolis destruction sounded so legit. I wouldn't mind actually seeing exactly what it described.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

One of the reveals I hope to see in a trailer is how adaptable Batman has made his suit. Seeing technology where his mask covers his face in a shooting or something, and bullets bounce off... that would be awesome. Man of steel vs man of steel will

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

V.O.

Lex: There is an enemy out there, threatening the lives of our citizens. Metropolis has fallen... But we will rebuild.

Bruce: Can he be trusted?

Lois: Lex or Superman?

Bruce: Both...

-Closeup of a flock of dozes flying upward across atop a building as the camera zooms out revealing an unusually warm winter day of Metropolis's morning; foggy skyline-

-Cut to the busy city streets. Lunch hour as people on cell phones scurry across the way-

-Shot of a child holding his mothers hand on a street corner in a flood of people; anticipating the frenzy stampede the moment the WALK traffic light flash's a bright; blinking yellow.

-As the camera focus's close to the ground with the child in frame, a pair of shined up, brown dress shoes enters the picture along with what appears to be a dangling object; inches from touching the ground. It's Clark Kent. Briefcase in hand-

-Sideshot of Clark getting bumped into; finally staying put on the cluttered Metropolis street corner-

-He push's his glasses close to his face-

-Here, he notices and glances at the woman with the child in front of him reading a Gotham City article on her smart phone with the headlines that reads "Super Man. Friend or Foe?"-

-Clark glances over her shoulder for a brief second and catch's the headline. He bites his lip, hangs his head and takes a step backwards; trying to blend in-

-The woman with the smartphone leans over to her friend standing beside her-

Woman 1 (whispering)
"Friend? Hah. SURE. Do you believe this guy? I still don't trust the creep.."

-The woman beside her; faceless; nods-

-Clark takes another step backwards-

-The child notices; makes eye contact with Clark; and then looks up at the smartphone-

- The boy tugs on his moms dress-

Woman 1
-Hunny, what is it?

Child
....

-The woman ignores-

-The child looks back at Clark and then looks up at the phone once more. He tugs on his mothers dress again-

Woman 1
HUNNY! WHAT.IS.IT..

Child
A friend mommy..

Woman 1
What friend, sweetheart?

-Closeup of the childs face looking back at Clark; turns back around and looks back up at his mother-

Child
Super Man, Mommy. Super Man.

-The child looks back once more at Clark; gazing-

-Clark Kent looks at the child and winks as the childs face brights up-

-As the mother is about to confront the child, the YELLOW flashing traffic light kicks on and a mad rush ensues as the mother and child vanish in a sea of every-dayers.

-Clark stays put in the same spot as the rush around him go in every direction, somehow dodging him-

-Clark stands there; smirking with the Daily Planet building towering behind him. He turns and looks up-

-CLOSEUP of Lois Lane looking out of a Daily Planet window; spotting Clark-

-CLOSEUP of Clark's face; then back to Lois's; then back to Clark's. He then spots her, almost looking into her eyes, smiles; turns away and in slow motion; walks forward out of frame-

-BLACK-

 

[MAN O STEEL]

Voiceover 'S': Batman,in all the years to come, in your most private moments,I want to you to remember my hand at his throat, I want you to remember the one being who finally caught The Joker

Batman V Superman
2016

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

I know how we had the dual father trailers for MOS (Jor-el and Jonathan Kent) and some people are wanting to do the same but with Superman/Clark and Batman/Bruce.

What if we did 1 trailer showing a few sides and as pointed out by others, asking the question, "Whose side are you on?"

Trailer:
(footage from MOS breaking Zod's neck)
V.O. (Superman): It wasn't an easy choice...

(footage of Bruce wandering a now destroyed Metropolis)
V.O. (Batman): How can we trust you?

(footage of Lex looking out of his building to see a statue being put up of Superman)
V.O. (Lex): He's treated as a God... and like a God... he has killed many.

(footage of Diana turning to Lois)
Diana: So whose side are you on?!

(Lois looks away for a moment... screen fades)
Lois: The side of truth...and justice.

 

[Naked Shia]

The teaser needs to show superman snaping Perry White's neck.

 

[Binker]

What I want? A money shot of Superman and Batman together on screen like this, maybe:
http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EeTk6RwooG8/maxresdefault.jpg

 

[GreenKToo]

a glimpse of WW about to attack something,

what could be the flash running. ( its blurry )

voiceover- ( are they here to help us or control us? )

a shot of the physical threat/villain doing some major damage. ( it/he is mostly dust and debris covered as it goes banana's in a city, but we get a glimpse of it as Superman flys into it at full speed )

a shot of reporter clark and lois on the job.

voiceover- ( and what will we do if they, if he, wants to control us? it seems pandora's box has been opened )

a shot of bruce wayne pimped out at some kinda fundraiser with lex standing not to far away. Lex is burning a hole into bruce with his eyes.

voiceover- ( or is this just the beginning of something wonderful )

If the actors who are in BvS don't do the narration, then I hope its a well known voice actor, someone like dennis haysbert or clancy brown.

[GreenKToo]

I'd love to see bats in the cave, with a shot of him from the back.
