It's a good trailer. I only watched the second film for the first time earlier this year, and didn't think a great deal of it at the time, but loved the original.

Any idea where the voice sampling that plays over most of that is from? It's remarkably sinister.

I went to see the first film a few months back in the cinema (Danny Boyle festival), great film but it was a 420p video stretched to a cinema screen. Looked terrible.

I think it's a poem by Kipling about losing your mind from relentless war, well according to the YouTube comments anyway.

It's "Boots" by Rudyard Kipling read (in 1915!) by American actor Taylor Holmes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_(poem)

There is a lot going on in that trailer. Love James Gunn, looks like this will have a bit of humor to it.

I can't pretend my first reaction wasn't "Oh, they're doing another one", but I'll give Gunn the benefit of the doubt. It does look like too many characters to stick in one film, but frankly I don't know the Superman canon well enough to know whether those were teams of good guys or 10 different baddies.
