Eagle-eyed fans watching the trailer may have noticed a familiar symbol hinting at a very popular Batman villain hiding in plain site.

Batfans instantly recognize that as a possible nod to one of the Dark Knight's biggest foes, the Riddler, who is known for leaving around question marks with riddles for the super sleuth to solve.

"Batman V Superman" is in theaters March 25, 2016.

NOW WATCH: Disney just released a new 'Star Wars: Episode VII' trailer and it's incredible
