Batman v Superman Teaser Trailer_ by [Megan Gibson](https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/) ## Megan Gibson Apr 20, 2015 11:55 AM UTC by [Megan Gibson](https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/) ## Megan Gibson Apr 20, 2015 11:55 AM UTC Are you one of the vocal fans [dead-set against](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/ben-affleck-batman-casting-fandemonium-article-1.1434936) the upcoming _Batman v Superman_ film and its cast? This is the trailer for you. The remixed trailer takes the ominous voiceover audio from the trailer of the real upcoming film—which stars Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman—and mixes it with old-school footage of Adam West and Christopher Reeve playing the two superheros. People who were fans of the characters—before comic book movies got all dark, that is—should be pleased. See the actual trailer below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3827998/batman-v-superman-christopher-reeve-adam-west-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3827998/batman-v-superman-christopher-reeve-adam-west-trailer/"},"headline":"Christopher Reeve and Adam West Are Back in This Batman v Superman Spoof Retro Trailer","datePublished":"2015-04-20T11:55:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:29.590Z","description":"Here's one for the purists","url":"https://time.com/3827998/batman-v-superman-christopher-reeve-adam-west-trailer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","celebrities","viral","Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3827998/batman-v-superman-christopher-reeve-adam-west-trailer/","name":"Christopher Reeve and Adam West Are Back in This Batman v Superman Spoof Retro Trailer"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Batman v Superman Teaser Trailer","description":"Batman v Superman Teaser Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/HfzWwIur/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-04-17T23:17:42.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HfzWwIur.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3827998/batman-v-superman-christopher-reeve-adam-west-trailer/","duration":"PT2M13S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3827998/batman-v-superman-christopher-reeve-adam-west-trailer/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
