"In my years fighting crime, I've learned one truth; that every villain is the hero of his own story," is the lesson Batman's voice-over imparts as the trailer begins. From there, we see the Dark Knight confront the Man of Tomorrow, and then learn how the pair interact with other heroes in the days leading to the rise of Superman's regime -- again. Will Supergirl stand alongside her cousin as he attempts to rebuild his superpower empire? Will Robin oppose Batman? And what, exactly, does Darkseid have to do with any of this?

In addition to the new trailer, we have a fresh piece of art featuring the Man of Steel versus, well, everyone. Catwoman's mixing it up with him in close quarters, while we see the Flash and Blue Beetle taking the brunt of Superman's attack. Meanwhile, Harley Quinn's gonna need a new mallet. Gorilla Grodd's arm is also seen to the side, indicating that this is part of a much larger piece of promo art for the game.
