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.

The music streaming industry is really becoming more competitive. RDIO filed for bankruptcy a week ago and its technology was bought by Pandora. Apple shut down Beats Music two days ago, maybe to ensure it doesn't cannibalize its Apple Music service. Google Play Music follows suit by making the service more accessible while ending Songza, which it bought last year for $15 million.
