Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

So this is the official color photo of the costume. It was on yahoo news and a few other websites. Looks like the fanmade pics seen earlier this year, imo.

Imo, best batman costume on film so far.

I love that he is blue n gray. Just needs a yellow/tan/gold belt.....

America as the enemy? Yep, not a chance. But I would be interesting.

What if you then had that be the impetus for the creation of the Suicide Squad?

Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

But it would never see the light of day because it's not patriotic enough, or light enough or Supermany enough.

True. We'll never see a Superman movie that is dark, un-Superman-y, or where he doesn't care about American lives.

Not America, per se, but the leaders and the powers that be that have let us down for decades.

Remember the brouhaha over this? Superman Renounces U.S. Citizenship in ‘Action Comics’ #900

What about a Superman who prioritizes all lives (obviously not the MoS Superman )?

Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

There should be a story about Superman realizing he's Earth's protector, not just America's. It was just by chance that he landed in America and not in Mexico or Italy or Russia.

Or they could just reboot it where he crash lands in Mexico and do a Mexican Superman in a green, white, and red costume with a big eagle on a cactus on his chest. Haha.

I think we're on the same page here. Haha

Yep, luck of the draw. And geography.

Because it is. Yahoo is run by a bunch of yahoos.

Here is the one from Cruel & Unusual Motion Picture Company that the other sites are talking about.


Enlarged:


It's still a manip, but seems close to what the suit color actually is.

Zack Snyder took the original photo with the Leica M Monochrom. A camera that shoots monochrome (black and white).

There is no colored version of the original photo that isn't a manip.

The head shot is the only colored photo released. It shows the suit as black and dark grey.

Published December 15, 2014 by Devin Faraci[h=1]Find Out Superman’s Situation In BATMAN V SUPERMAN[/h]What's the blowback from MAN OF STEEL? Find out here.


I've told you a bunch about Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*, but not much about Superman. I don't want to give you the impression that this is Batman's movie - it's very much a sequel to Man of Steel, and it very much follows up on stuff from that movie in big ways. In fact Chris Terrio's script - at least a draft from just before production began - deals explicitly with some fan complaints about the last Superman film.
Batman v Superman opens with Batman's origin and fast forwards to Bruce Wayne coming to Metropolis during the Superman/Zod fight, but that's just setting the stage for that character. From there the script turns its attention to Superman heavily, and it examines the implications of Superman in the real world. The main action takes place a couple of years after the end of Man of Steel, and Superman has been busy in the meantime, becoming the hero we know and love. Clark Kent and Lois Lane have moved their relationship forward to the point where they live together. Clark is still working at the Daily Planet, although it's unclear if he's loving his assignments - he's tasked with covering a Metropolis/Gotham football game when he would rather be writing about Batman.
Very early in the film Lois is in the Middle East following a story when Superman shows up to help her out. This becomes something of an international incident as other nations view Superman as a tool of the United States. China, for instance, doesn't want him in their air space. It's an interesting look at how a being like Superman would be viewed on a global scale.
What are the lessons that Superman learned from Man of Steel? Some slight spoilers follow.
When Superman confronts a big bad guy and unravels his plot, he tells the villain, "I won't snap your neck, I'm going to take you to prison," an on-the-nose response to criticisms of the first movie. Of course Superman later loses his cool and threatens to break the bad guy's back, so he hasn't quite internalized everything yet.
As for being a protector of the people - when the Doomsday fight starts General Swanwick tells the military that Superman will move the battle away from populated areas because he's a hero, and that's what heroes do. Again, this is a direct response to complaints about the first film. It's also interesting to see that Swanwick, who was tracking Superman with drones at the end of Man of Steel, is such a supporter in this film. It seems that most people - except Lex Luthor and a cautious Batman, who is prepping anti-Superman weapons - believe Superman is a hero.
A caveat on this, and my previous Batman reporting - this information comes from a script that was handed in a month before principal photography began. While the broad strokes surely will make it into the film, small details like dialogue and character moments could be cut from the script or in the editing room before the movie reaches theaters.

Some of those responses to fan complaints sound rather ham fisted. I hope they're portrayed with a bit more subtlety in the actual film.

Best description of Zach Snyder's directorial method I've read so far.

Looks like another Marvel thingy they wanted yet couldn't get through their little brains and now failing at miserably.

Everything sounds pretty good, I like the part of Lois and Clark living together and China protesting against Superman entering their air space.

Is Batman's origin story really necessary.. again?

Fast track that for five minutes. Folks'll be wanting more Batman after that.

..then onto Hopeman mk2 for the next 90mins.

Great. We already know Cavill-El's a bull in a china shop.
