[According to _T_ _he Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/batman-v-superman-trailer-leaks-789507 "undefined"), the trailer begins with a voice asking, “Is it really surprising that the most powerful man in the world should be a figure of controversy?” The clip proceeds through shots of Superman with different voiceovers, then an image of Ben Affleck appears (he is starring as Batman, Henry Caville as Superman), and finally, the two superheroes come face to face. The trailer was [supposed to premiere in IMAX theaters Monday](http://www.batmanvsupermandawnofjustice.com/imax/ "undefined"). The movie is set to be released March 25, 2016. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3826302/batman-v-superman-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3826302/batman-v-superman-trailer/"},"headline":"Batman v.
