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

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Based on Kevin Smith's hint I think we're sure to see these now in the 3rd act fight between Batman and Superman:

Could you imagine how badass that would be? To walk into your Multiplex and see a poster with armored Batfleck charging Superman on one side and Superman flying straight toward him from the other, while a Blizzard almost envelopes them, and all you see is "Summer" or "Christmas" at the bottom. No studio logos, no credits; just when and where the title bout is going down.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

I always imagined what it'd be like to be a real life Batman, logistically. I pictured Grey or Black Underarmour with a bullet proof vest over top (with a Bat decal, of course). Those Armstar taser gauntlets that Kevin Costner praises (they even have an iPod Dock and a Flashlight!), maybe some Black or Grey pants of some sort; possibly combat boots, and a Black cowl with Night vision goggles that formed the ears; TDKR Catwoman style. You'd probably need a grappling hook with a cable that would need to be thrown manually, 60's style, since there probably aren't any Grappling Guns like those in the movies in existence. I don't know; it's interesting to think about.

Would be tedious and derivative to me. Let's see some new ideas, please.

Well from the major DKR influence Snyder seems to be going for it's only a matter of time until it's a reality. And one of the only ways Batman can go toe to toe with Supes without Kryptonite.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Quite the contrary. I think it'd be nice to see something straight and to the point in a market full of so much photoshopped nonsense.

Okay, how about . . . picture this.

Black poster canvas and . . . Superman, in heat vision mode, breaking Batman's neck (whose face is contorted in agony). They could also use this image as a sort of brand on all the toys and action figures.

Thoughts?

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

I always wondered, what is realism? Stating that a rubber cowl, an injection molded rubber suit and a cape is really a graphite shell, kevlar tri-weave and "military memory cloth"? That a character is actually inhabiting a world like my own?

That's a crock. That's called exposition, that's what that is. If these things actually existed in real life, like that crazy *** armored Arkham Knight suit, you wouldn't be able to move. These things are only realistic through explanation, not in appearance. The sonar eyes built into the cowl are just as implausible in TDK as they are in Forever. The difference? We didn't have Morgan Freeman reading it off to us in 1995. Those "action launching" arm blades are just as gimmicky and toyetic as anything Batman has ever been criticized of in terms of commercialism (toys for the kiddies).

Any great film strikes a balance between form and function. Making something because it "looks cool" isn't always a bad thing as long as there's substance to what you're making as a whole. Likewise, it shouldn't just be all about frivolous visuals, you should have some kind of meaning to what you're trying to achieve. I think the best example of this is Star Wars: The Original Trilogy. By simply having an aesthetic (a world that appeared to be lived in, actual grit to it), the audience was brought into the world. We didn't need to hear how lightsabers, speeders, or the force worked. We didn't need technical readouts for spaceships or the droids, you just bought it by visuals alone. The exposition used was to progress the story, not the world the characters inhabited.

Then you look at the Prequels and it's the exact opposite. The world is completely sterile thanks to modern technology. The entire world is explained, like the force becoming "midichlorians" for example. That doesn't make it any more "realistic". This idea of "grounding" a world isn't new. Every filmmaker worth their salt intends to have their audiences sit down for 2-3 hours to invest in their world. Every movie attempts to be based in some kind of reality. Batman or Superman can be made as believable as their worlds allow with a "cinematic plausibility".

God, I hope not; could you imagine the field day the detractors would have if Batman nuked Superman above Metropolis? "So we've got a Superman who breaks people's necks and a Batman who gives them cancer. Way to treat your heroes, DC."

How about this: a poster of a family's shadows burned into a wall and a pile of charred bones and ashes in front of it, with a Superman logo at the bottom.

Thoughts?

And have an alternate poster that's revealed through an online viral campaign. Something akin to this,

(but have Superman's red and blue be darker, and heaven forbid, NO underwear or belt)

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

I don't know. It could suggest that Supes ***** her first a bit more strongly IMO.

 

[DiFabio]

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

True, true. And she shouldn't have abs or muscles either. She should be a little thicker than that lasso rope and have a smaller cup size. Eh, maybe remove the lasso too, because that's not very practical or realistic. Maybe just have Superman choke hold her too.

They could still do that with the thousands of families no doubt killed in the rest of the film

That, too. Zod really did a number on this planet, didn't he?

I wonder how well those Armstars work, but it would definitely be cool I guess if you were putting together a man on the street style costume. I don't know if you're talking about purely pistol sized, but he could always carry one of those military grapple rifles, just need a sling or something to store it. I think that would be the biggest issue with creating a real Batman would be how gear laden he would be.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Sweet, black and grey my favorite colors, and more than one suit, I love that too, Batman does use different suits depending on the situation.

He'd probably have one with a along, similar to in TDKR; tear gas canisters on his belt, etc. think he'd use a cape?

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

I know that nothing about supermans suit has been mention since last year whe they said the the suit was gonna be updated. I was looking for photos or fan art and found these.






Any wishes on the superman suit?

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Personally, I hope the keep the shinny look, reduce the texture, brighten up the colors, give him a red belt instead of that waist ****, and no collar, son kinda new 52-ish but not so.

Maaaaaybe a little paneling, that could work, just a little, not so much.
