"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" won't hit theaters until March, but the anticipation has already built to a fever pitch.
A full trailer aired Wednesday on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and an alternate version of that trailer was shown today on “Good Morning America.” It was preceded by a special shout-out to “GMA” viewers from Ben Affleck, who plays the caped crusader in the film.
“Good morning, America," he said. "I’m so excited to introduce this film to the world on March 25th. ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ marks the first time these two heroes have been on screen and, trust me, it’s worth the wait. Please take a look at this special clip made just for 'GMA.' Hope you enjoy!”
Wednesday's exclusive from "Jimmy Kimmel Live" was the third full trailer in advance of "Dawn of Justice" and until this point, DC Comics fans have been teased with a slew of iconic characters and an epic battle between two legendary heroes.
In the brand new trailer, Batman and Superman are finally united, along with Wonder Woman, as the trio face off against an intimidating monster.
"Dawn of Justice" is set shortly after the events of 2013's "Man of Steel" and Superman's battle with General Zod in the film that introduced us to Henry Cavill as the new Kal-El has left both Gotham and Metropolis in ruins, including Wayne Financial.
In the teaser released earlier this week, Superman had the upper hand, even unmasking the Dark Knight to reveal Bruce Wayne, played by Affleck. But that hasn't always been the case. Earlier this summer, a "Batman v Superman" Comic Con trailer featured Batman taking down Superman.
It has been an incredible back and forth with Wayne even saying of Superman in one clip, "He has the power to wipe out the entire human race. And we have to destroy him."
Meanwhile, Superman believes Batman is a reckless vigilante and a "one man reign of terror."
In the clips thus far, we've also been introduced to Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luther, who surprisingly still has his hair, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman in action fighting a yet unseen foe and a new Alfred, played by Jeremy Irons, warning Bruce against a war with Superman.
"That's how it starts, the fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness, that turns good men, cruel," Alfred tells Bruce.
But Bruce isn't buying it.
"Twenty years in Gotham, how many good guys are left and how many stayed that way," Bruce says.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" hits theaters March 25.
