Revision as of 06:49, 28 April 2019
Honest Teaser - Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the 98th episode of Screen Junkies comedy series Honest Trailers. It was written by Spencer Gilbert, Dan Murrell, Erica Russell and Andy Signore. It was narrated by Jon Bailey as Epic Voice Guy. It parodies both the 2015 teaser trailer for the film Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and film geeks more generally. It was the first of only two Honest Teasers ever produced, and was published on April 20, 2015, shortly after the release of the official teaser trailer. It is 2 minutes 7 seconds long. It has been viewed over 5.3 million times. Screen Junkies also produced a full Honest Trailer for the film Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice after its release.

"Stop with the brooding! The only one who gets to brood is Batman! They can’t all be brooding!" ~ Honest Teaser - Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
Script
Narration: Is it really surprising that a movie starring the two most iconic superheroes in the world would be controversial?
[Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer plays...]
Man: Everybody loves Superman! Who doesn't love Superman?
Andy: Yeah, but they couldn't even make a good Superman movie! And now they're just cramming in the whole Justice League!
Spencer: DC has a horrible track record! Green Lantern! I mean, come on!
Dan: Hello?! Dark Knight trilogy! Christopher Nolan's totally involved in these! You're just a butt-hurt Marvel fanboy. Ant-Man looks stupid! There! I said it!
Erica: Not ever comic book movie he to be fun! What are you, 12?
Hal: Stop with the brooding! The only one who gets to brood is Batman! They can't all be brooding!
Woman: Maybe Zack Snyder's just a guy trying to make a good movie
Man: It looks like Sucker Punch.
[CHANTING: DC! MARVEL! DC! MARVEL!]
Narration: That's how it started: Warner Brothers casting Ben Affleck as Batman that turned fanboys cruel. (Horns!) Get ready... (Bwaa!) ...to debate a teaser... (Bwaa!) ...that will probably generate more drama than the movie itself (Horns!).
Batfleck: Tell me is my Batman voice better than Christian Bale's. I mean, it has to be, right?

Spencer: I'm just saying.
