It was pretty early, and [Christopher] Nolan and I had long conversation about it, a really great, sort of philosophical conversation about it. He was really cool because he played an amazing devil’s advocate about why not to do it, and then in the end was like, ‘No you’re right, it’s better to do it.’
Quote:
We had a version that we talked about where [Superman] just—this isn’t it, but where he got frozen and shot into space or something, so he’s kinda gone. Because one of the big things I wanted to make sure of was that as we went into Justice League, Bruce Wayne was the one who was gathering the Justice League. I thought it was really important to have Bruce Wayne be the samurai who goes and finds the other samurai, that to me was important. And with Superman around it’s kinda hard, because Superman’s Superman so it’s kinda hard for Bruce to be like, ‘Yeah I wanna put a Justice League together’. It’s like, ‘Okay, but maybe Superman should be doing that. You’re just a guy. You’re a cool guy, don’t get me wrong, but you’re just a guy.

That makes absolutely no sense especially since it contradicts Superman TRUSTING Batman to go save Martha Kent all on his own.

So Batman is good enough to be trusted to go on his own to save Superman’s mother in BvS BUT if Superman didn’t die all of a sudden Batman can’t be the one to go form the league, wut..why not?

No seriously i’m confused that was the SOLE reason for killing Superman off.

At least use the reason that hey “We killed off mopey and brooding Superman who is confused about his place in the world of mortals so that we can usher in the new and improved optimistic Superman!”

That would’ve made more sense, no?

Yeah should’ve listened to Nolan lol

DC Fan With Terminal Cancer Asks to Not See Justice League Early
terminal-1024x538.jpg
OLEDO, Ohio — A DC superfan with terminal bone cancer requested today that Warner Bros. not show him the new Justice League movie before he dies.

Julian Scoville, a fifteen old sophomore at Toledo High School, has been reading DC comics since he was a kid—which is why when DC offered to show him the new movie, knowing he might pass away before it is released, he adamantly refused.

“When I first saw that Cyborg poster for Justice League, I took the news harder than the doctor telling me I had six months to live,” said Scoville, according to close sources. “I honestly thought it was fan art. It’s like a kid got a copy of Photoshop 6 off Pirate Bay and made a print to sell at the world’s ****tiest local comic con.”

“I know this is like the one cool thing I get to do with my Make-a-Wish, but honestly, I’d rather just take a nap or something,” he added, sinking into his hospital bed.

Those close to the scene report that director Zack Snyder tried to lift Scoville’s spirits by surprising him in his hospital room, but Scoville was not impressed.

“You think this is going to make me want to see Justice League? Sending Zack Snyder? The auteur of Sucker Punch?” Scoville scoffed to doctors. “Just increase my morphine and end it now.”

When representatives for DC asked Scoville if he’d rather meet Joss Whedon, he began screaming until they left the room.

After calming down, Scoville described in vivid detail the trauma of his condition. “Just a lot of pain and sickness. Exhaustion. The unending spectre of my own mortality hanging over me on a minute-by-minute basis as I am forced to witness it in totality.”

“It’s exactly how I imagine the Justice League movie will be and I don’t want to go through that again.”

Despite his bleak future, Scoville did say he has held onto some hope. According to those close to him, Scoville said, “At least I know I’ll die before HBO ruins the **** out Watchmen.”

yeah i get you

but i read it as if supes doesn't die ,theres no need to form the leagues cos supes can handle every thing by himself

give them a reason to band together and fight :)
 
This turn around 1 sec turn back and he's gone is getting old. Especially when all do it now. Cool seeing them together tho. Cyborg still my least fav by far. Damn. Maybe aquabro too

Why is Cyborg flying full force into the cockpit like that in such a confined space he hit that thing like a missle.

Look at Flash’s face closeup reaction when Cyborg shows up it is freaking hilarious I loved that part!

Wow that 89 theme was fully out there in effect!

I have to ask this, is it sacrilegious to use that with a non Keaton Batman, what say you DiFabio.

It's cool to see the old theme in this film, but at the same time it feels like the only way they can have a sense of history in this new cinematic universe, is by using nostalgic music, since this is only Battfleck's second movie. It's like a subliminal, yet very obvious way of making people feel like this JL movie is 40 years in the making by having the Williams and Elfman theme, but in reality, we've only seen these versions of Batman and Superman for a total of 2 maybe 3 years.

Battfleck is the only Batman so far without a unique theme. Even the Schumacher Batman films had a specific hero theme.

Honestly, I liked it. Gordon looks great (straight out of the 70s comic, just missing a cigarette), the signal, city skyline and that gorgeous shot of Batman perched on the gargoyle is just really atmospheric and awesome. The Elfman Batman theme really compliments the imagery.

It's all really great . . . up until he leaps down in the middle of skeleton warrior princess and the red ranger twink.


The Batman solo film can't come soon enough.
 
lol epic post is epic

Yeah he really needs that cigarette would’ve been perfect.

Whiplash biceps be hiding under there Gordon could definately kick twink Flash’s *** lol
 
Elfman is a great composer, possibly my favorite ever... but his style just doesn't work for this universe, it's really damn distracting.

It's really going to bother me, hearing Williams score for Superman because he already has a great theme and because it'll remind me of the Donner Superman, God those movies suck.
 
I just don’t get Batman’s landing in that clip.

What slowed him down, not that miniature cape right lol

Cgi budget not enough for a larger sized cape, what?

Actually that small cape looks practical so if that’s cgi then that’s really good cgi!

Help explain this DiFabio please I beg thee!

True, the whole point of MOS was to reinvent Superman and finally move away from Reeve, and WB basically gave up on it because of BVS, to the point they're using Reeve's theme. It's like a rock band that couldn't make it with original material, so they become a tribute band.

Battfleck and Hopeman are a tribute band. Even Battfleck's villain history is a ripoff. The whole exploding penguins joke is a reference to Batman Returns...:slap
 
Who's this cheeseball villain? Is this "The Last Starfighter 2"?

lololol

Yup next we’re going to hear Batffleck mention the circus gang, Catwoman’s electrocution and Max’s death lol

Keaton is not Batman in this why?

Man we’re on the verge of some epic DiFabio commentary with this movie although the lack of Nolan might not get us to the legendary levels from the TDKR days.
