We told you last fall about the upcoming Starz series Da Vinci’s Demons, with showrunner David Goyer (the Dark Knight trilogy, Man of Steel, Call of Duty: Black Ops). Goyer has stated it skirts the edge of the supernatural, and that Da Vinci reminds him of a Tony Stark prototype. Nice!

We now have the official trailer for the series, which premieres April 12, and it looks like a great blend of Goyer’s mastery of dark hero dramas and action games. Take a look:
