I noticed something (well actually three things) from the Comic-Con trailer for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.  While you may have noticed them, I just wanted to bring them up and share some theories.  So here they are:

1:  Joker Killed Robin in Wayne Manor.


Okay, so we all remember this shot from the trailer for sure:

Well, there's three things about this suit:  It's burnt, it's covered in graffiti, and it's holding a staff.  And if you remember, Wayne Manor seems to have gotten blown to pieces in the trailer...

And if you remember the first trailer, we had this shot as well:

So here it is:  Wayne Manor seems to have been burnt in the exterior shot of the second trailer.  In the first trailer there is a shot of a burnt up building covered in grafiti, and Batman looking down and holding a staff.  So it seems reasonable to assume that there is a scene where Batman has a flashback to Jason Todd's death, discovering his body in the burnt up remains of Wayne Manor.

Whether or not this means we'll see the actual death in this movie or Suicide Squad remains unknown, as well if Joker know's Batman's identity, as he could have just broken into Wayne Manor to kill Bruce Wayne or something.  Who knows right now...

2:  Lex Luthor is Sick


This one has less reason behind it because there is just one shot in the trailer, but bear with me, as this is a movie, where the smallest details can mean the biggest things.  We all know the shot where Lex Luthor is looking at the kryptonite.

Well, there is an earlier scene that tell's me that Lex Luthor may be getting sick from that kryptonite, it's a very small detail, but it's there.  And it could be a very big plot point and even lead to him losing his hair.  It's all in the scene where Superman is kneeling down at Luthor's feet.

I noticed this when I saw the trailer on a big screen, and didn't notice many people pointing it out, but look at Lex's hand.  It seem's to be bandaged.  And this is movie land, where things like that must serve a purpose for the story.  They wouldn't bother to have Lex's hand bandaged without there being a purpose, even if Jesse Eisenberg had cut it off camera and required it to be stitched up, they would have to have something to explain that.

3:  The Soldiers Aren't Honoring Superman; They're Guarding Him



Finally, the last thing I noticed is about the soldiers with the Superman crest.  There have been many theories about them, so here is mine: they are more like prision guards to hold Superman.

Here's why: in the scene where Superman is kneeling to Luthor, it appears they are underground.

Perhaps in the same bunker where the guards are "kneeling" to Superman?

That does not look like an army bunker, it looks more like a prison.  So I think they aren't bowing out of loyalty, but out of fear.  There are rumors that Luthor is planning to capture a bunch of metahumans in the movie, so maybe he snagged his number one prisoner?  Superman definetly didn't look happy to be there...

As well, this may explain Batman fighting the soldiers.  He may be trying to break Superman out of the prison.  Perhaps I'm wrong, but that would be an explaination for this scene:

Well, that's what I saw.  Did you notice anything odd in the trailer for Batman v Superman?  Comment below!
