Superman vs batman trailer analysis:
Background: The superman vs batman movie is an upcoming superhero film featuring the DC comics character batman and superman, it is distributed by Warner bros pictures. and is intended to be the follow-up to the 2013 movie man of steel however it is not a direct sequel to the movie but rather a different story.

Goyer, the movie stars notable actors and actresses as the cast within the movie including, Ben affleck, Henry cavil, Amy Adams, Jesse eisenberg, Diane lane, Laurence fishburne, Jeremy irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot.
the movie itself was first introduced to the public at large in 2013 at the San-Diego-comic con international.
Mise-en-Scene:
Within the movie superman vs batman in the trailer the scenery dictates a dark Gotham city compared to a shining, glittering metropolis, this is referenced by Jesse eisenberg (who plays Lex Luthor), in a quote in the trailer he says "god vs man", "day vs night". This suggests batman's affiliation and close nature of being symbolized by the dark, aggression, and scare tactics, in comparison to a more mild-mannered superman who has powers comparable to a god therefore does not need this same approach and mentality towards crime-fighting .
The Mise-en-scene within the film also shows a reference to a batman cartoon/show in the 90s with batman in a stance with the thunder coming down. there is also scenes which show a dessert atmosphere and soldiers with superman's renowned s logo on their uniforms, this suggests that superman may be treated as a deity in the near future and have his own army as such.
Camera composition:
the camera angles in the movie suggest different angles and shots from the city and batman and superman, for example there is this one camera angle from a high angle shot which dictates the entire city of Gotham in its glory, another shot is batman avoiding possibly doomsday's heat vision attack and in a flash shows a reference to a iconic 90s batman TV series, this was said as intentional as zack Snyder himself has said this and wanted to make sure the movie would be a great movie with new scenes but also use influence from previous works of art, such as the batman in this movie being based on frank millers story-line for batman. Another iconic angle shot is a mid-shot from the crowd as superman flies down to deal with the case of being considered too powerful he looks at the federal office, with a despair facial expression and so his superhero outfit is seen and this portrays superman as a deity again. Another shot is where Lois is narrating and says "this is all that people have, all that gives them hope". In this shot people are reaching their hand out to get help from superman, but he doesn't seem particularly helping, this suggests that in the story line he might be having thoughts of doubt about what he is really meant to do with his incredible powers.
