Last week, Fox aired a new preview for the fall finale of Fox’sGotham,Worse Than a Crime, airing tonight, Monday, November 30 at 8 PM ET, which revealed that the episode will also include a sneak preview of Warner Bros.' highly-anticipatedBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This preview offers a new look at comic book iconsBatman(Ben Affleck), as he’s being unmasked bySuperman(Henry Cavill).
The footage opens withBatmanchained up along with a few other unidentified characters, whenSupermanarrives, causing several armed soldiers to kneel before him.
