First 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice' Trailer Will Air Before 'Mad Max: Fury Road'

We've been waiting for the first trailer Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice to arrive for months, and now we know when we will finally get to see it.

Variety has confirmed that the trailer will debut ahead of Mad Max: Fury Road, which hits theaters on May 15.

In case you missed it, Badass Digest claims to have the answer as to why Batman and Superman fight in the film.

"It is Superman who goes to Gotham and starts the confrontation…at the behest of Lex Luthor," the site reports. And unlike The Dark Knight Returns, Superman comes out swinging, pulverizing the Batmobile with one punch. Why would Superman do Lex Luthor’s bidding? What is Lex hoping to accomplish? That would be spoiling. But know that when the fight is over, Batman will be able to point to Superman and say, 'He started it!'"

In other news, Entertainment Weekly has the first exclusive photo of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.

"He's not any of the Lexes that you've seen, that's for sure, other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself," Snyder tells the site. "And bald, of course."

"Our Lex is disarming and he's not fake," Snyder continues. "He says what he believes and he says what's on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it's all there."
