Nice catch.
I'm sure most people waiting for this have run across the vid below but just in case you haven't...this guy pulls an insane amount of info out of a very short teaser.
Some of this stuff is stretching it a bit and some is amazing attention to detail...

Spoilers below.
Spoiler!
In the comics Jessica Jones was the superhero Jewel. A D lister in NYC until she met the Purple Man. Killgrave kept her as a mind controlled slave for six months where he emotionally and mentally abused her. No hero went looking for her. In a fit of rage Killgrave sent her to fight the Avengers and they beat her so bad that it put her in the hospital where Killgrave's brainwashing eventually wore off. It was Killgrave's abuse and that no hero ever went looking for her or tried to help her that made her disillusioned with superheroes.

Its not just what we see in the trailers.
Right. When I first saw this thread I dug around on YouTube and found a decent video that explained her origin. I think that the trailer touched on all of that without going into detail. The only part that wasn't hinted at was
Spoiler!
her fight with the Avengers
but she did say "Yeah...been there, done that" when discussing being a hero. [Reply]

??: "He isn't here now."
JJ: "Yeah, well he's always here."
Prisoner: "He said I was never as good as you."
Yeah, the trailer is totally pointing at her history. This season will obviously focus on Kilgrave's escape from prison (with whatever changes they make). This should be an awesome show. This is a storyline they can play with and update, not having to be sticklers for the source material. Just keep the darkness and the edge, which it looks like they will.
And, is that possibly Danvers?!?! IMDB doesn't list her, but maybe just a pseudonym until the show release? Would make sense to see Captain Marvel introduced in Jessica Jones. [Reply]

What I'm hoping for is a more fucked up, more powerful, female Batman. I know it's a stretch. The interaction between the two of them (her and the Purple Man) could make Batman/Joker look like they're playing tiddly winks in comparison.
