"I found [the trailer for ‘Batman v Superman’] interesting," Joss Whedon told Yahoo! Movies in a recent interview when asked for his thoughts on the recently released teaser for Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. "Because they’re bringing up a lot of issues that we bring up in ‘Age of Ultron’ and I think it’s inevitable. People with power, who are good, do not always agree and it makes perfect sense for me that [Batman and Superman] would fight. And besides… Batman and Superman are gonna fight! I’m so excited! I’m so excited!" That's not the answer some DC hating fanboys probably wanted to hear, and both Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner - neither of whom have seen the teaser - were equally diplomatic. "How does anyone fight Superman?" asks Evans. "I feel like [Superman] would bulldoze our whole squad, they really wrote him unfairly. It’s not fair, he’s got too much." More comments can be found in the video below, but for now, enjoy this gif which I'm sure will be used again and again here on CBM...

There can be peace between the DC and Marvel clans. All we need are leaders of the fanboy nations to come together and talk about the outstanding issues between us.

Seeing Age of Ultron and Batman v Superman in the same headline takes me back. Still remember when BvS would only be 3 months from now.

Put me down for hating this stupid DC / Marvel rivalry. Competition can help quality, but it doesn't make sense for fans to choose sides like this.

I'll see both Ultron and BvS opening weekend and I hope they're both great.

What's to be gained from rooting for these movies to fail?

"...Holy Shit!"

Avengers then proceed to curb stomp Man of Steel critically and at the box office.

yeah, the gif is kind of...yeah
and that is a valid question, how do you fight someone like Supes? I mean, it's going to require more than just an armor. and that has me worried, are they going to introduce kryptonite as just a mcguffin that Batman conveniently has to de-power him?

Captain America thinks Superman would take out their whole squad.

Yep, cause your Hulk and Thor are seriously nerfed to make RDJ look good.
