Hot Toys Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice Speculation Thread

[JSchack15]

After seeing the movie twice already (NYC Premiere & IMAX Fan Screening), I'm guessing Superman, 3-Versions of Batman (4 if you count the chrome armor), & Wonder Woman could be all of the 1/6th figures from this movie. The only other characters I can see them doing are maybe Lex and a very very very slight possibility of a Doomsday. If they really wanted to milk it, they could do Clark Kent & Bruce Wayne figures and maybe even Lois Lane. Just my opinion

Got my tickets for Thursday's midnight premiere. I'm also cautious when it comes to people's early reactions, but hopefully it turns out good. Looking forward to it!

This sounds about right. I don't think they would do a solo figure of Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne though. "Civilian" figures are usually lumped in with another main figure as a two pack. However, a slight possibility could be a Clark Kent-Bruce Wayne two pack or a Bruce Wayne-Alfred two pack.

If they don't make a Doomsday, I do think that this film could possibly rekindle interest in the MoS Zod figure.

I'm will see it tomorrow and then will back and will make spoilers for all of you.

It's a good movie. I saw it last week in the final cut.

Spoiler

the biggest complaint I heard again was that Batmans not supposed to kill. In the film he blows up some cars with people in them, obviously killing them. And those same people used Keaton's batman as an example of how it should be done. But people seem to always use rose colored glasses. In returns Keaton did the exact same thing. Two thugs on the hood of the car thrown into a burning building and then he set another on fire with the jet blast out of the batmobile(again, in batman returns)


The movies great, I thought. Proud to have worked on it

Thanks for the info, Motux. But yeah, it is amazing just how selective and hypocritical a lot of CB fans are with their movies. Hopefully it doesn't turn into another fiasco with fans like the way MoS did with killing Zod at the end (which for the record I had no problem with).

IGN gave it a 6.8. I'd take that with a grain of salt given they gave Deadpool like a 7.

That kind of reminded me about the old adage where people say there's no "I" in TEAM.

No, but there is a ME.

 

[WolfBoy]

the reviews are now starting to come in. looks like this may be divisive just like MOS when it comes to critics.

Well, they did give MoS a 9, if I recall.

I never take a film critic's review into consideration anymore. That's what they're paid to be there to do, criticize. It seems like they're seldom unable to take a film for what it's intended to be. When they're stating that films like "Jackass" for instance weren't good because it lacked any sort of story, you can only simply scratch your head in confusion. Did they honestly expect it to?

I take fans' reviews more into consideration than what I do actual film critics. But even then, I still go into the film with an open mind, ready to form my own opinion based on what I saw.

Wow..BvS is at 41% right now on Rotten Tomatoes with 27 reviews so far. That's a really low number. I'd have thought, even if the film was divisive the way MoS was, that it would still have managed better than 60%. Time to get reading and see what the critics' problem is.

I believe "critics" have also shown a history having the propensity to denigrate anything that Zack Snyder does for some reason.

I wouldn't do that unless you dont mind getting spoiled.
Its not uncommon for a lot of these critic to say a lot of spoilers without a warning.

Well said !! EX: Blade Runner was almost unversally panned when it came out..I thought it was brilliant from day one.. same can be said for many films I love!

"Nuff said " on that!!

I quite liked and enjoy AoU. However, I don't think it's essentially 9/10 good.

Exactly SS & Remy, the only thing that really matters in the end is if you as a viewer like it or not. Some movies that are highly rated I didn't like, it's all perspective in the end.

So glad to see WW rel. today too, knew she had to be coming soon. and bam! she's here.
