A trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice leaked online days before the official release date. However, the video was up for only a few minutes before being taken down.

A YouTube user uploaded the video of the trailer, captured by a handheld or cell phone camera with Portuguese subtitles, late Thursday night.

As the footage plays, numerous commentators’ voices overlap one another with opinions of the superheroes, including, “We as a population on this planet have been looking for a savior” and “Maybe he’s just a guy trying to do the right thing.”

A blurred image of Ben Affleck’s face appears shortly before a masked Batman appears, followed by the two superheroes coming face to face.

The highly anticipated footage was set to premiere in Imax theaters on Monday. On Wednesday morning, the film’s director Zack Snyder teased the trailer by releasing a short excerpt on Twitter.

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice will be released on March 25, 2016 and stars Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman. The film also stars Amy Adams.

However, after the bootleg version hit the internet, Warner Bros. was forced to go on the offensive and release the trailer for the highly anticipated Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, late Friday, reported Dailymail.

The damage, however, has already been done as the leaked trailer went viral when thousands of fans shared it online before it was pulled from YouTube. The official trailer is identical to the leaked one but better quality and without subtitles.
