The 'Batman V Superman' Trailer Had Better Include Some Supermanscaping

Here's what we need to see when the trailer drops in May.

We're still nearly a year away from seeing "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" on the big screen, but a first peek at the movie is happening sooner than anyone expected.

According to Variety, people who go to see "Mad Max: Fury Road" in theaters starting May 15 will also have the privilege of watching the first "Dawn of Justice" trailer beforehand. That means just a few short weeks until we can feast our eyeballs on some real, actual, non-bootlegged-from-Comic-Con footage of the hotly-anticipated film! And when it does drop, let's hope it includes some of the following important elements.

A nod to that awkward moment when Superman, like, accidentally broke Metropolis

Leaked pics from the set have already suggested that the citizens of Metropolis are heartily displeased by their hero's wanton destruction of his adopted city in "Man of Steel," but we'll need some footage of the fallout to get a true sense of the scale of the protest.

A peek at Baffleck's Batman fighting style

This grizzled, middle-aged Batman can't possibly be the fleet-footed nubile ninja we remember from Christopher Nolan's trilogy -- but we also know that the years haven't taken any of the edge off the Caped Crusader's anger issues, either. How will this translate onscreen? Here's hoping the trailer gives us a preview of the action to come by showing Ben Affleck in motion, throwing at least one punch from inside the Batsuit.

A rear view of Lex Luthor's most prominent feature

We actually kind of hope that they don't show much of Jesse Eisenberg as Luthor -- ya gotta hold something back, after all -- but failing to include a shot-from-behind of the villain's cue ball cranium would be a tragic missed opportunity.

Ample screen time for all supporting characters

There are going to be riots in the streets if Wonder Woman doesn't make an appearance in the "Dawn of Justice" trailer, okay? And after they dropped this Aquaman poster on us in February, there'd better be at least one shot of Jason Momoa as the tattooed fish whisperer, too, because you don't give your public a gift like this and then just take it away.

And finally, a glorious forest of Kryptonian chest hair

When it comes to Superman movie trailers, you shouldn't hide your light under a bushel... or your exquisite lumbersexual manscape under a latex super-suit.
