I almost choked on my ice cream after seeing this.

I appreciate the large amount of animation on this list thus far.

Well it's a part of the game, so...

I love Harley Quinn's pigtails.

Dahn.

Shit. Now I really need to see the first Blade Runner.

'Murrica.

Fist fight me on the streets brah.

With some video accompaniment

I thought they changed the design to not scare the kiddies.

Me reading the last few pages:

Just got out of Rogue One, and to give a brief trailer report (credit to @jandrew for making me do this), the one that seemed to get the best response was Guardians 2. I was in an afternoon matinee with around 2/5s of the theater filled, but the laughs were still pretty strong, so I'm more or less predicting above $400M at this point. Anecdotal to be sure, but I've got a good hunch regardless. Outside of that, there were a couple of whispers at Cars 3 and Transformers, and the rest (Dunkirk, Mummy, Spider-Man, Space Between Us) were kinda silent, but keep in mind that the theater wasn't super packed, and I was at one of those theaters that serve gourmet food to the audience, so there were likely many stragglers focusing on ordering food than paying attention to the trailers.

Got ya fam.
