Batman has always been a fantastic character for the average person to relate with because he’s always using tools and technology to help him – he doesn’t actually have super powers, so to speak.

After much buildup including FOUR feature-length individual movies for each of the heroes included in this supergroup of a movie, May 2012's Marvel Comics' The Avengers has its first real trailer.
