Well, the Batman V Superman teaser is out.

It looks pretty interesting, though nothing new.  The Batsuit looks pretty cool and though clearly modulated, Ben Affleck sounds decent/

  That said, I'm going to respond to Mark Millar's comment: "I agree with the guys who made that Superman/Batman trailer - Those Chris Nolan movies WERE just too bright and happy!"

  I warn everyone right now the next part involves swearing.

 Millar, you have no right to talk.  You brought us The Unfunnies, Old Man Logan, The Ultimates, NemesisWanted, and Kick-Ass, and those are some pretty dark and ugly stories.  The latter two were heavily altered when adapted to film for a reason.  You opened your run on The Authority by making Jack Kirby the villain and displaying stand-in for the Avengers as a lot of baby-killers and the Captain America stand-in a rapist.  Wanted had to be heavily altered from the original premise of "supervillains running the world and doing whatever the hell they pleased" to "a bunch of people trying to prevent a second Hitler".  For those who don't read the Kick-Ass, Big Daddy was just an asshole who create the backstory about being a cop.  Millar, you are the one who brought us the team that was called "the Toxic Mega-[Grinche]s" (I apologize for the How I Met Your Mother censoring in this case, but I refuse to type the actual word in question).  Christopher Mintz-Plasse was on record that he was glad that Red Mist/Motherfucker's worst transgressions are written out. Hit Girl was still 12 in the comic.  Jeph Loeb may've gotten flack for confirming that the Ultimate versions of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were in an incestous relationship, but you implied it first.  Old Man Logan was basically Wanted in the Marvel Universe, with the implication that the Hulk raped his cousin She-Hulk to have a family.  When adapting the Avengers into the Ultimates, you took key aspects of the Avengers and exaggerated them to the point of making them unlikable, including having Captain America having have the views that were present in the 1940s, taking Iron Man's and Hank Pym's lowest moments and cranking them up, and making the Hulk was a sex-crazed cannibal!

  And the less I say about The Unfunnies and Nemesis, the better.  The world will be very poorer if they ever get adapted into movies.  So, no, Millar, you have no right to condemn the trailer given what you've written yourself.

Since Nolan's Batman wasn't an unlikable @$$#*/&/villain protagonist, I believe there's a chance he wasn't being sarcastic...
