'Batman v Superman' Trailer Leaked: Watch Now!

[UPDATE]: In reponse to the leak, Warner Bros. has released the official, full-HD trailer. We have updated with it below.
The official "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" trailer was supposed to debut on Monday, but as is often the case with these high-profile trailer releases, the thing just leaked early.
So, if you want, you can now view a dim, bootlegged, slightly out-of-focus trailer for the upcoming superhero blockbuster.
The trailer focuses almost solely on the Man of Steel himself through various sound bites of speeches and news reports concerning Superman and how exactly he'll fit into our society.
It makes sense that Superman would very new and scary to people in this version of the DC universe. Sure, he saved the world from General Zod in "Man of Steel," but only after leveling basically all of Metropolis in a fight to the death. People have seen what Kryptonians can do, so what's to stop Superman from ruling over everyone himself?
The answer to that is, of course, Clark Kent's overwhelming sense of morality and duty, but people don't know that yet. Neither does Batman, who takes it upon himself to face off with Superman using a glowy-eyed super-Batsuit, much like the one in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns."
There's no hint of Wonder Woman, Aquaman or the other DC superheroes said to be making appearances in this movie. There's no mention of Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) either. But that's all for future trailers.
