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

[Khev]

Once he and Clark become best buddies, Sups will still have the same power to destroy the earth....nothing will change, only Bruce's perception of Clark/Superman.

Correct, hence the "puff piece," comment. Bruce seems to be saying that he's put off by the Daily Planet's seeming unability to ask the tough questions about Superman's presence. Questions that Bruce WILL ask, and if he doesn't get satisfactory answers, will prompt him to destroy the unpredictable threat. By the end of the film (or halfway through, whatever) Bruce obviously will get the satisfaction he needs (thought doesn't Batman always have Kryptonite on hand just as a precaution in the comics?) and will allow Superman to stay on Earth without further issue from him.

I'm assuming Bruce's problem at the beginning is that no one is considering what checks and balances they should be considering regarding Superman's power and are going right to "puff pieces." Clark has no business taking issue with those who want to know how trustworthy he really is. As of MOS he has given no one any reason to assume that his presence is ultimately a good thing.

I'm not prehating the movie. I want it to be good and I want to like it. Just sharing a vibe I'm getting regarding Supes from the trailer. Obviously trailers can be misleading. We'll see.

Don't forget that he's also being questioned by congress or the government. Maybe he'll answer their questions or maybe he won't...but depending on the questions, he might be right not to answer them. I don't know what kind of question Bruce has for Sups? In the trailer he seems to want to destroy the threat, not ask questions. Why have an armor and a gun if you just want to talk? Alfred asked him or said, "You're going to go war?" and he's like "That SOB brought the war t us." The whole thing doesn't make any sense to me the more I think about it. Even if Bruce knows in that scene that Clark is Sups, and he sees that this God doesn't burn a hole through his head after insulting him...that would be enough for me to be like, ok...he's not that bad.

It depends on the kind of questions. Maybe they want to know his real identity...or about his family. He should have a problem with that. In the Reeve films, when he does the interview, he didn't give too much info...not even his age, just the basics, where he was from and that stands for truth, Justice, and the American way. Maybe that's not enough in today's society....he needs a Facebook page or something

As of MOS he has given no one any reason to assume that his presence is ultimately a good thing.

Well, saving the whole world and Bruce's worthless ass so that he can live another day to cry about his Mommy and Daddy....and Robin, seems like a positive thing. Seems to me that every day that goes by in which the world isn't burned down, speaks for it self.

I'm not prehating the movie. I want it to be good and I want to like it. Just sharing a vibe I'm getting regarding Supes from the trailer. Obviously trailers can be misleading. We'll see.

What doesn't make sense in that whole sequence is Clark Kent not knowing who Bruce Wayne is or what he looks like...and then randomly asking him about the "Bat vigilante" .. seriously? Batman has been around for 20 years and you're asking him what's his take on this "Bat vigilante"? That make no sense.

Remember Batman has just re-surfaced, which would spark the recent interest.

So he was retired? If that's the case, then it makes sense. I thought that was just a rumor.

 

[GasparZizou]

I don't get why people think Batman resurfaced or was "retired".

He's been at it for 20 years.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

He's been at it for 20 years.

So he's not retired? I guess Ben just looks tired...and that's just so close to re-tired

 

[RIDDICK]

Let's just

the script is not as retarded as Goyer's MoS.

Yeah that makes more sense

Maybe Bruce is suicidal?

Like Morgan on TWD... "KEEEEELLL MEEEEEEEE"!

 

[snoop101]

Why should he lower his head in shame? That would imply that Clark thinks Bruce Wayne is right...when in fact, he's not. It would be like Clark accepting that he might one day kill the human race. Who knows Clark better? Himself..or some guy who's pissed and doesn't know all the facts? Why should Clark agree with someone like that?

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks like Christopher Lee is that clip.

Another reason why this trailer is terrible.

 

[GasparZizou]

I'm gonna guess because Clark's deal is always the average Joe, he only cares about the little man, plus being new he wouldn't know/care about the big wigs.

Another reason why this trailer is terrible.

The first trailer was great, the latest trailer was messy. It's easier for people to jump onto a bad trailer. We'll only know the outcome come the end of March. There's still hope for this movie.

 

[EVILFACE]

Trailers really mean nothing.

Godzilla had and awesome trailer, one of the best in recent memory. But the movie was a big pile of meh.

 

[olbertfrog]

Another reason why this trailer is terrible.

Yep the trailer is badly edited but with some common sense all works out.
What probably happens is that Supes and Batman first meet in that scene where Supes removes the batmobile roof/doors.
Supes sees his face under the mask but probably dont know who Bruce Wayne is, he's just another playboy millionaire among many why would he care. Do you think serious journalist know the name or face of every rich dude.
Then he sees him at the lex Luthor party and its on!

Such a good example. The Godzilla trailer really had us fooled, it was like watching a completely different movie. It really was a pile of crap.

I wish THIS was the actual film:



Just a dark story of Batman going against Superman.
No Alexander Nigma, no Wonder Skeleton, no Arthur the Barbarian.

Man, back there I was so excited after the teaser... Oh well.

Looking at Snyder track record i definitly think this What we are getting.
There might be a few punchline there and there but it Will be dead serious.
