I don't know, but the Falcon looked awesome!!!!!!!

Everything I've seen about the Winter Soldier says he's not superpowered. But given that he does have a cybernetic arm, that might count.
Batroc the Leaper and Crossbones are in this movie as well, so we may be getting ourselves some pretty awesome fight scenes involving Cap. This was something that I felt the first Captain America film as well as The Avengers didn't convey as well as they could have: Cap's skill as a combatant should be on par with, if not outright better than, Black Widow. But you only see occasional flashes of that. The Red Skull was nothing more than a glorified scientist with the Super Soldier serum, so facing him in the beginning was okay. And I understand that The Avengers was an ensemble piece so they couldn't really focus too much on that either. But with Winter Soldier, I'm hoping that we get to see Cap unleashed.
Awesome....
Always loved batroc. Alwaus thought he was never given good writing or a grasp of his fighting style. Savate practicioners are known for their insanity.

I don't think that'll be a problem this time, given that Georges St-Pierre is cast as Batroc.
He's recently been cast in a comedic light as of late, but back in the 80s and 90s Batroc was actually more threatening.

I watched The First Avenger again recently, and really dug Hugo Weaving's Red Skull. He understood that as a villain it's okay to chew the scenery and just 100% believe the crazy stuff that comes out of your mouth. I'd put him on par with Raul Julia's M. Bison for best villain.
Winter Soldier is going to be great, good guy Captain America in a spy thriller? Cap's real super-power isn't the strength and stuff, it's that he doesn't betray his ideals. This should be a great ride.
I'm REALLY looking forward to this.
HOLY CRAP.
I cant wait.
Cap, Falcon and Black Widow? vs Crossbones, Batroc and Winter Soldier?
Have I died and gone to Brubaker/Epting heaven?

I really liked the Batroc one shot. Excellent characterization and a damning look at how Americans view the French and vice versa.

I always thought Batroc's power was the Gallic Shrug for every time he lost.
Seriously, there's a good article on him on Bunn and Kitson's updated take on him for the comics:Here
Enjoyed both Byrne's and Gruenwald/Zeck's take on the character for different reasons.

Trailer definitely has me excited for the new movie, though I'm really not digging the lack of red in Cap's costume. Winter Soldier looks awesome, though.
One scene made me think of a great Maria Hill quote for Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, though. "I've had the same car since I was nineteen years old and never had a problem; yet this thing falls out of the sky every other Thursday!"
It is however a pretty close rendition of Cap's Steve Rogers SUper Soldier/Director of SHIELD suit from the time period that Winter Soldier was Cap after Steves ressurection so I'm giving it a pass on that.
Looks awesome. I'm a big fan of how they do Captain America. And a fan of the character too.
