Damn, those costumes look amazing.

From what I read, those gadgets and the cowl are all Mattel prop replicas. That's what Toyark seemed to indicate, in which case, I'm like "****, that's a pretty extensive arsenal." They had to get it wrong, though. No way that Mattel could go that far with a license and make stuff that looked that authentic.

That grappling gun is gorgeous, I don't think you can say that about anything ever made by Mattel.

Excuse me?

Im pretty sure the mattel part is about the figures that where pictured in the set the suit and prop pics came from, and yeah what mattel has revealed is pretty much what you would expect of them , good but nothing hot toys quality

Batman's armor looks like a variation of Zod"s combined with the Dark Knight suit.

Arrow needs to make an appearance in this flick......

^ I've been watching a bit of that lately. I like the guy playing Oliver, but that's about it.

The Aussie actor playing Ra's was something I discovered elsewhere recently during an interview with him on a one on one type show.

Doesn't work at all.

That looks more like Ultron than the AOU version.

Damn i cant wait to own the hot toys figures of Batman, especially the armored one!

BTW i watched a few JLA animated flicks recently, and they are pretty EXXXXXXtreme like Snyder's MOS.
Is it a new trend or it has always been like that?
Far more interesting than any Marvel animated stuff ive seen.

Yeah, when it comes to animation, DC has no competition. Ironically people don't have a problem with Sups fighting in a city in those films, but wait and see how people get their panties in a bunch when BvS has both of them fighting and "destroying" a few buildings

For comic book characters, I don't think the first two seasons of animated Justice League can be topped. The "The Savage Time" story would rock on the big screen and could bring Sgt. Rock and Blackhawk into the live action mix.

I used to feel the same way, but Young Justice has trumped the Justice League cartoons for me.

Yes exactly, i was wondering if all those who complained about that have ever actually watched any of these animated movies.
Its ALWAYS apocalyptic, and in the middle of cities.
Jay Oliva one of the major director and Storyboard artist on these is actually working with Snyder since MOS.

This movie doesn't stand a chance. Here are some "reviews" of the Batman armor by several editors from several magazines. These are the same people that will be reviewing the film when it comes out

John Jannuzzi, senior digital editor: It’s pretty intense, and I get that he’s got to have that next-level Superman-repellent armor. But damn. From a distance, you could almost say it’s a Thom Browne suit, but you know, it’s not. I like that he kept the cape. So into capes right now.

Ashley Fetters, entertainment editor: Does anyone else feel like this new Batman suit is Batman by Iron Man? The bulkiness of it; the helmet with the strong jaw; the jack-o-lantern eyes; the weird midriff body armor that, for reasons unknowable, is engineered to resemble abs—it all looks suspiciously like it's from a Tony by Tony Stark line.

Which, sure—strong look. But there are some flaws in Batman’s logic here, I feel. Iron Man’s chosen method of saving the world frequently involves flying around at jetliner altitudes in soldier position, hands held daintily at his sides. His suit, then, given that it contains rocket boosters and little computers and stuff, necessarily has some heft to it. Shouldn’t Batman, who’s in recent years been more prone to staying at ground level to punch people and sprint and ride a roided-out motorcycle, avoid wearing something that could slow him down?

Chris Gayomali, news and culture editor: [Pushes up imaginary nerd glasses] Well. In the comics—or, if I’m being completely honest, the Wikis I browse about said comics when I go home after 2.5 beers—this is the suit Batman specifically dons to fight Supes. (It’s supposed to have kryptonite in it or something.) It’s kind of hilarious, because three additional inches of clunky Cuisinart armor realistically wouldn’t do much to protect Mr. Wayne’s fragile bones from an omnipotent handsome alien who can punch through the moon. But I mean, they gotta sell toys somehow, I guess? This thing is dumb.

The whole bulky suit thing just feels antithetical to all the stuff that makes Batman a badass—the cape swoopage, the acrobatic roundhouses, the HUMAN VULNERABILITY. Batman isn’t bulletproof, and that’s exactly what makes him so fun! I want to see him outsmart Superman. Having a super-suit turns him into another dumb meathead. I don’t want to watch Pacific Rim in miniature.

The whole other thing is we’re completely forgetting his true identity. I could let this pass as Batman, or maybe his armadillo cousin—but Bruce Wayne? Nah. I cannot see Bruce Wayne, billion-dollar playboy, philanthropist, and League of Shadow alumni, in this hunk o' junk. He’s a sophisticated badass; he needs to be able to go from black-tie to black knight without disturbing Gotham’s elite at the party. Not buyin' it.
