I thought he was talking about the Bat Nipples and Ass, but that wasn't Burton was it?

I like the trailer and everything I see in it!
I don't get the Tim Burton reference

It's a shitty, rubbery suit like in the Burton films. forget the nipples. Batman couldn't turn his head in that suit. Cap isn't as bad as that, but it still looks like a shit rubber Halloween costume.

The Super Bowl spot mostly works for me, but that shot with the camera circling the Avengers as they prepare for battle only emphasizes one of the big obstacles this movie has to overcome -- actually making Hawkeye and Black Widow relevant.
I mean, seriously...you've got Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America there, and Scarlett Johansson is...ejecting a clip from her pistol and reloading? That thing better shoot nuclear bullets or something.
(Also, being that Black Widow's primary takedown move is the old, "crotch-to-the-face/thighs-around-the-neck" body-toss, all that's left to be said is, "Yes, I *WOULD* like to receive a free pamphlet describing how I could learn more about joining this HYDRA organization you speak of.")

It doesn't like like rubber to me, it looks like a sort of kevlar mesh fabric. My problems with it are the very visible zipper along the red and white ab stripes and the fold-over jacket look to it. It's a step down from the 1940s suit which worked very well.

I have little doubt this is gonna be entertaining. Whedon knows his comics, and he knows how to work with pulpy, ensemble-type material. But man, something is really off with either the aspect ratio or camera placement (the film is allegedly shot in "flat" 1.85:1, compared to all of the other Marvel films to date).
This was apparent even in the first trailer (a couple Nick Fury shots), and shows up big-time in that group-pan-shot in the new trailer. Whedon himself has (jokingly) stated that he's been making every mistake in the book with regard to his direction. Unfortunately, it appears that a few of those mistakes may have made it into the final print.

Latest trailer was released. Wow.

Embed won't work right now, so here's the YouTube link:

Latest trailer looks good. I like the action with the Hulk; let's hope they get him right. Nothing against Eric Bana or Edward Norton (who I thought was really good), but Mark Ruffalo deserves a chance at a Hulk movie. He could really bring back that weary feeling from the Bill Bixby show.

Excellent trailer. It was the first one that made it feel like an epic motion picture instead of a TV movie with bigger name actors. I really like the way the camera tracks the action through three-dimension space as all of the shit goes down across Manhattan.

Wow. Just absolutely awesome! :tu:

I like the looks of it.

They should of left out Scarlet and the guy with the bow, forget his name. They look totally useless in the trailer . . .

This seems to be addressed in a scene in the latest trailer where Natasha(?; Black Widow) tells "the guy with the bow" (Hawkeye) that "this" is something neither of them was ever trained to deal with, no?

Agreed, but if you go to imdb.com's trailers page, you'll see that almost all of the so-called "action pictures" have spectacular effects presentations. (Those for Prometheus and Wrath of the Titans, particularly, impress me.)
Though "CGI" isn''t perfect, by any means, we're pretty nearly at the point where all the "special" will have been taken out of the effects and the moviemakers throwing around all these vast sums of money will find themselves in the same old boat: they'll have to "differentiate their product" the old-fashioned way, with good stories and believable characterization.
I agree with the earlier sentiment expressed (post #121):

. . . the movie's got to be more than shit blowing up.

I've seen a half dozen trailers for this and I still can't figure out who/what it is the Avengers are battling aside from Loki.

This sheds a little light on the matter, but not much:

Film Clip: Enter the Black Widow

EDIT: A bunch of previously unreleased artwork for the film here, which gives me hope that Chris Evans's ears will get to breathe by the end of the picture. Looks so much better than the bulky helmet we see in the trailers.
