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

My only question for those that have seen this movie: is there an Aquaman cameo? If no, this movie is a serious Aqua FAIL

Spoiler

yup there is. I found it awkwardly funny, probably unintentional but entertaining regardless. And its about 30 seconds, all the jl cameos happen in one scene

At least DC didn't sell a lot of their characters away.... (like marvel did)

It's like this.

Oh no! That isn't real, as in pertaining to the movie, is it?

If so, Poor kid.

Oh it's real, they cut away before Mickey Mouse came over and started licking the tears off his face.

Ok, cool - thanks for the heads up!

I am really worried about the DCEU future right now. I saw The movie last night, and of course it's not a masterpiece but it's not a terrible Movie either. Like others have said, i think the movie suffers a little bit of Spiderman 3 syndrome, which is a shame because the history had a lot of potential. Also there are some things in the movie that only comicbook readers will get, leaving regular people confused. Maybe the best thing for the DCEU is to get rid of Snyder.

While its not masterpiece its definitely not terrible. These reviews seem a little harsh for sure. Hoping most of you guys go into this with an open mind and tell us your honest opinion. I'm a little baffled people are thinking this is amazing spiderman 2 bad, or Elektra bad.

Pay no attention to this low quality fabrication.

You mean licensed for film? Well at the time Marvel didn't have a studio. Where as DC, being a subsidiary of Time Warner/ Warner Bros. Pictures. did.

But if they hadn't there would be no Deadpool or Blade movie, so I'm glad they did.

Zack Snyder Explains Why Batman Kills In Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice | Comicbook.com

I don't really get the logic. It's like saying that if you press the trigger on the gun to kill someone, you're actually only indirectly killing them, because you aren't actually walking right up and punching them in the face until they're dead. I mean, if you shoot a grenade a guy is holding, or a car with a guy in it, that's no different at all from shooting the guy directly. This isn't a Nolan, "I don't have to save you" kind of moment.

I think the real headline is that Snyder thinks Burton Batman is where people got the idea that Batman doesn't kill. I really hope I read that wrong or he's being misquoted. I mean.... He's got the keys to the kingdom. That's ****ed up, right?

All you do is tie or chain your kid/s and wife/wives to the couch and go out. Simple.

Just make sure they can't get out of it for three hours and you're golden. Oh, and tape their mouths so the neighbors can't hear.

New Batman movie requires sacrifices.

thats exactly how he meant it. That the idea of a non killing batman is from Burton (the video he saw probably added the Burton kills and Snyder thought they meant it was the same point being made as with Nolan's batman)

It's like this.

Was that actually in the film? Oh my.....

Look at Ben's face he looks like he's having Daredevil flashbacks during the interview:

[DiFabio]

I knew Batman killed in this, and I don't mind since this Batman is a world weary, cynical, hollowed out, shell of a man but Snyder's reasoning is absolute ****.

Just say your Batman gave up on that ethical principle because of all the events he's witnessed in life. That he doesn't care that he's crossed that line because even he has a death wish. How hard is that. But no, bring up Burton and Nolan versions ("t-they killed t-too"). Makes no sense.

Zack looks really tired (or devastated)

Haven't seen it yet but like MoS I'll probably like some parts and not others.
Comicbook movies are hard to get right and be well received because most everyone's going in with a preconceived notion of what the characters should be like.
Most movies don't have to contend with that unique problem.
The Russos do seem to pull it off better than most.

Does anyone know the history of the batman killing/not killing ? When did that become a thing? When looking at certain aspects of burton and Nolan movies I tend to think of some of it as movie magic that thugs aren't really being killed. I know its a tough argument for the burton ones, but for the Nolan movies people getting destroyed in car crashes never bothered me. And then this conversation kind of rolls over to ras' fate in batman begins and I always question if it makes sense for batman to make that decision
