Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer gives away major plot points

There are teasers for upcoming movies that help generate buzz and hype and there are trailers that give away too much. This seem to be the case with the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer which seems to give too much information for a movie that's still three months away.

We see the first meeting of Clark Kent, a brooding Bruce Wayne and an irritating and not bald Lex Luthor. We get the gist of Batman's angst against Superman as well as a glimpse of their epic battle plus we see Doomsday and the first action sequence of Wonder Woman. The big surprise here is that Ben Affleck pull off Wayne/Batman quite nicely. Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor is a little grating and not at all like the cerebral and calculating Lex Luthor we all know, maybe he will grow into the role.

New NASA photos show sharpest close-up shot of Pluto

We can’t help but want to understand the space beyond ours and the new photos released by NASA show us possibly the sharpest images we can see of Pluto for decades to come. Taken in July during New Horizons’ closest flyby to the dwarf planet, the series of images captured by the spacecraft’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) were taken from 10,000 miles away with a 250 to 280 feet per pixel resolution. What does this mean? NASA says these images are six times better than the global Pluto map the space agency released earlier. You can see the image stitched together under the link.
