Nothing is worse den "okay thats not good" swat guy in The Dark Knight :lol I think BvS will be safe

Hmm.

And every Schwarzenegger line in Batman & Robin :lol
 
The action looks pretty good in the trailer as well as the story bits but Eisenberg's Lex and the CG Doomsday just makes it look like a ****fest. Even the holy trinity shot at the end is just okay after Lex's goofball persona is shown over and over. Let's hope they excise some of this nonsense and improve on the CG before release.
 
So about Batman with a gun against "Doomsday". If Batman is the tactical genius and highly skilled combatant we're hoping for then surely he wouldn't be stupid enough to think a guns gonna make any difference to this monster if Superman and wonder woman can't stop it. It just seems so out of place for him to be doing that, he would leave them to battle the monster while he goes off to come up with a plan to stop the monster or something. This isn't me complaining about him having a gun tho, just the situation and story around it in this scene.
 
I just watched it again.

It really does feel like an MCU movie.

Agreed. I think Warners got freaked out that everybody was calling them out for a dour (though serious) film after MOS and the first two trailers for BvS so they put together this thing which is full of a goofy, campy Lex Luthor and a couple of one liners by Supes and Batman.
 
What makes you think that's a regular weapon?

Could be a Krytonite weapon before Batman realizes Krytonite doesn't work on DD.

Ah, Jye beat me to it.
 
I seem to be in the minority ... but I liked the trailer quite a bit.

I really like the concept of the civil libertarian foreigner Superman against the paranoid lawless vigilante Batman. Great angle, and a clear explanation of why they dislike and distrust each other so much. That explanation has to be included in a trailer. Casual moviegoers may genuinely not understand why Batman and Superman would ever be fighting one another. That conversation between Wayne and Kent was great. I got the feeling Wayne knew who he was talking to ... but Kent didn't.

Several really cool lines. "That SOB brought the war to us." "If I wanted it, you'd be dead already." Affleck is on point. Great costume. Great armor. Great voice. Great characterization. Batman as borderline 'xenophobic' (as someone else said earlier) is a completely logical characterization. Never been a huge Wonder Woman fan, but she looks good enough. I wish they'd've just left her for some end-credits thing or a later movie, though. I think the BvS angle is enough for one movie without bringing in the B-team.

I agree with a few criticisms, though. It's WAY too spoiler-heavy -- should've only hinted at Doomsday, and left the WW shield save out of the trailer completely. End the WW clip with the "oh, $#!%" and a growl/eye blast/explosion.

I also agree that Lex Luthor is off -- with the notable exception of the "... the devil will do it!" line. That sounded great. Seething, growling hatred. That's Luthor. So, even though Lex was way too goofy at the party, I'm optimistic it maybe he was just playing a public character, and he's privately the unapologetic, not-at-all-cutesy villain we all hope he is.

And, I'm not totally sold on Doomsday's look. It's not awful. It's just a bit too Abomination-looking. Maybe I'll change my mind, though.

As for the Marvel 'tone' of the trailer ... it's a trailer. You can spin whatever tone you want in a trailer, and Marvel sells a lot of tickets. Particularly to families. I don't necessarily think that'll be the overall tone of the movie, though. Batman's characterization, the authoritarian Superman jackboots (fantasy or not), the Kent/Wayne conversation and Batman vs. Superman fight look plenty dark ... and very un-Avengers-like.

I remain optimistic.

Oh, is Kryptonite a thing now in this universe? I guess that would make sense.

Not yet. I'm guessing Bruce Wayne discovers it (though maybe Luthor). Which makes a hell of a lot more sense than Reeve's Superman revealing his Achilles heel in a newspaper interview.

I'm thinking we might not see real Doomsday in this.

I bet Supes will see this thing is too strong, send it to space of whatever and it will eventually return all evolved with bones and **** for a Death of Superman movie.
 
Nah, there won't be a next time. They're not going to save DD, this will be his first and probably last film.

While I wouldn't by any means count this movie out in regards to box office, Hollywood is certainly setting themselves up for failure at massive levels if they continue with this trend of astronomical 500 + million dollar budgets.

Did James Bond really have to cost that much to make! :lol

WB has had a disastrous year so far at the box office, they really need Batman now more than ever so I can see why they're going big on this one.
