The first humorous teaser trailer for director Matthew Vaughn's highly anticipated Kick-Ass has arrived.

Kick Ass is based on the comic book of the same name that follows Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who lives alone with his father. Dave’s life is not very difficult and his personal trials not that overwhelming, however one day he makes the simple decision to become a super-hero even though he has no powers or training. Before long he is joined by three more would-be superheroes.

Test screenings for this film have gathered rave reviews.

You can check out the Kick-Ass character posters here.

Expect it April 16, 2010.

Four character posters have been released for director Matthew Vaughn's Kick Ass via IGN. All four combine to read 'Kick Ass' (above, click to enlarge).

I like that the actors names do not appear on the posters, although I wonder if that will hinder rather than help the film's marketing. Then again, Nicolas Cage is one of the actors, so you know, maybe the marketing guru's know what they're doing (I shouldn't say that, I did enjoy Knowing).

All four individual posters together with character summaries are after the jump.
