In case you're craving more footage from the upcoming Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League movie, which arrives in theaters and on HBO Max on March 18, a new teaser trailer has arrived. This particular look at the movie focuses on Batman, as played by Ben Affleck. The clip runs nearly a minute and features lots of Batman-centric quotes from Snyder's DC movies--and a laughing Joker--playing over imagery of Batman standing on top of a massive vehicle that resembles a gigantic tank.

SINGAPORE: I have seen it before. On Sep 16, 2008, an upbeat Anwar Ibrahim announced he had commanded the support of the majority of Malaysian Members of Parliament (MPs), six months after he led the opposition to historically smash the two-thirds parliamentary supermajority of the then ruling Barisan Nasional (BN). It was Malaysia Day. Anwar appeared to be ready to take over the Malaysian government. That afternoon, I was moderating a political forum in Kota Kinabalu, attended by a few major opposition politicians. I also witnessed a BN component party in action at the seminar, boldly withdrawing from the ruling coalition in support of Anwar’s move.
