People who registered for the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice IMAX Trailer event shouldn’t worry about the coveted day being canceled.  As a treat to loyal fans, Snyder tweeted another message — promising that the IMAX event is still on and that they will see a special trailer with a bit more footage and some swag to take home:
