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

It can't be the batmobile, because at the end of the trailer, you see the batmobile destroyed, and Superman walks up to it, rips the cockpit doors off, then Batman stands up slowly.I'm guessing it's the Batwing behind Wonder Woman, having been destroyed either by her or Superman.

Bat plane?

Contrived is a good description. Ponderous and contrived. Potentially laughable if not carried off with weight and proper characterisation.
Just silly and geeky.

I do like Afleck though and look forward to his Batman movie.

Loving everything I see from this so far. It feels like a straight Comic adaptation (even more so then Marvel's ventures) you watch this trailer and it feels like your getting a highlight reel for a comic. Granted it is a Zach Snyder trailer, but it would have to take a lot for me not be excited for anything batman related.

I think I'm getting too old for this stuff, thought it looked as cheesy as hell like a lot of MOS did.

Did you watch it while sucking on a Werther's Original?

This Alfred looks like he could lay the smack down on Batman.

Caine was good.

Gough is still my favorite though. He had the right amount of B:TAS sass.

I hear ha.

But I'm getting sick of all of these superhero films in general.

 

[jye4ever]

At first I thought Alfred was Gordon.

I have to agree. I thought Avengers looked "geeky" but this has that beat by miles for sheer comic-fanboy-nerdom. The intended majesty of it all seems silly with guys in capes.

And now we have 3x franchises discussing the dangers of "mutants".

 

[Darkseed]

Team Bats......peaked my interest to see the movie.

I think TFA is about the dangers of gifted Jedi's.

I wouldn't be surprised. Seems the important "big geek issue" is about 'being different'. Surprise. Geeks aren't bad though... well, maybe those cosplay ones are.



Anyway, so is Lex going to give Bats a Zod-transfusion so he can fight Superman? At least that would give a Bat-punch credence.

I think the problem with WB's interpretation of their "we're different than Marvel, more real gritty and grounded" in the long run is gonna hurt them. Theyr'e movies are dark. Its great for fan boys and adults, which I've been for over 30 years. But I have a family now and would like to share that with my 9 year old twins (boy and girl). And here is where the problem lies... These movies, while not rated "R" are not kid friendly. They're moody and ultimately depressing. It's cool and OK for a grown up to walk away knowing the difference, not a kid. My kids like everything Marvel. They've seen it all (movies and animated/cartoons) and I feel comfortable letting them see it before I have first. With DC they've watched the Batman cartoons (all versions), Superman cartoons, Green Lantern cartoons and JL cartoons. I have'nt let them watch most of the animated movies though cause they are for a much more mature audience. As far as DC movies? They've sat through 3 and thats it. Original Superman 1 and 2 (3 and 4 are just awful and not worth the time ), and Green Lantern (not too good but kid friendly). Original Batman & Batman Returns a little dark, Batman Forever & Batman & Robin just bad (see comment for Superman 3 & 4), Nolan trilogy too dark, Watchmen a no, Superman Returns maybe OK but not a fan, and even though I enjoyed MOS, I steel feel I wanted them to be a little older before they see it. You see most kids see Superman, Green Lantern and all the other DC heroes as heroic and a shinning beacons (even Batman) just like Marvel heroes. DC's new cinematic universe is not that. They want gritty and real (which also can be depressing). So after seeing this trailer and knowing the coming movies, and how they are setting the tone for their cinematic universe making everything dark & gritty, there's not 1 movie on the horizon I would take my kids to see with me before I watched it 1st.. This is why so many movies forgo an "R" rating to gain a wider audience, but if their dark and their parents now it, they're not gonna let them see it. The critics, just like with MOS are gonna have a field day with this. And while I don't listen to them, many people, especially parents, do. Before I was a parent I longed for a more mature superhero movie, now not so much. So this is from my being a parent's perspective, instead of just a fan boy. It's gonna be hard to achieve the same success as Marvel who's movies so far have been accessible to almost everyone.... Good luck DC, your gonna need it..

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah... they are so serious they are literally no fun. And at the end of the day, a fantasy should be fun.


I'm all for making something 'feel real' within context, but when a fantasy becomes too real you really drain it of its purpose. I don't think the Nolan Batman films will stand the test of time for that reason. Nolan should have paid attention a little more to what Ledger was doing -- Heath seemed to find that perfect balance between 'real world' and 'make believe'.

 

[loki2371]

OOps, as far as Marvel, no I have not let them see Daredevil!! Or some of the non-Marvel cinematic stuff such as the Blade movies both crappy Ghost Rider movies and some X-men Movies. They have seen all the Spider-Man movies and the original 2 FF movies.

 

[meanstreak]

so what are our thoughts on who the dead robin is?

jason todd? **** grayson? tim drake?

i just hope it's not **** grayson. i want an dcu nightwing one day

 

[EVILFACE]

I would think Todd, as I would like to see Nightwing.

Looking at the trailer again, is it possible that Luther may be controlling Supes in some way? Since he looks to be going at it with Batman. There is the scene of him kneeling (lulz) and he has kryptonite. Maybe a little bit of Superman III in there.

And I guess there is two showdowns. One at the crushed Batmobile and another with Bats in his Super Suit.

 

[jye4ever]

He's moving his hands around Superman's head like Madonna's vogue.

 

[chewblacca]

Superman looks angry and conflicted through most of the trailer. His mom is telling him to let it go, Luther seems to be setting him up, batman is going after him over what happened in Man of Steel, and the world is either praising him or condemning him. This is not your feel good, smile as he flies by the planet Superman.

He should just say **** it all, and kill everyone, then smile as he flies away by the planet.

 

[jye4ever]

If I was Superman I would spin the earth backwards like the harlem globetrotters spinning a basketball but I don't think everyone would go back in time though, I have a feeling that **** would be flying all over the place.

I'm really impressed with Eisenberg's Lex. God was I sick of land and ham.
