Well, I don't think we saw the same movie, then. MoS was pretty meticulous about avoiding the suggestion of any fantastic elements not directly associated with Kryptonians and their technology. It was very much made as a "what if he existed in the real world" story.
The costumes thing for X-Men always bugs me.
In the comic-books it makes sense because they live in a world of superheroes and use the bright colours to appear less dangerous than they are. But in the films, there are no superheroes. None of the X-Men patrol, none of them pro-actively stop crime. They only do anything when there's a Magneto size threat. They're effectively the realisation of the comic-books implication of a self-funded paramilitary force.
And as the prequel films have shown us, the idealism of the 1960s with the costumes was destroyed by shit like Vietnam, mutants dying etc. So in the original timeline they'd seen so much shit that dressing like a prat in spandex would be counterproductive. Post DOFP, I'd guess we'd get those colourful costumes back because they're idealistic again.

They just threw golden heart-print armor pieces on Khal Drogo.

Again: Inherently fantastic characters are easier to introduce in an inherently fantastic setting, which is why the GotG comparison doesn't wash.
This isn't that hard a concept to understand. No one asks why or how dragons exist in LotR or GoT, but if a film were to open with a dragon flying through modern-day Times Square, surely you'd want to know what it was doing there. Similarly, characters like Rocket and Groot would have required a hell of a lot more explanation had they been introduced in an earthbound setting.

I really hope they show all seven over the course of a week at some point and then finish it off with a new teaser for BvS or a HQ version of the CC trailer.
Still get chills watching it...

I think you're really underestimating the intelligence of the average cinema goer, who will roll with it. It's people online who seem to think this shit is more complex than 'there's Wonder Woman, she's an Amazon' as an introduction.
How I want that in 1080p. 60 fps. 7.1 Surround Sound.

Truly, truly, outrageous.
Really wanting to see these outfits without the apparent muted filter on them, but they look really strong design-wise. Cautiously optimistic.
That said, if the Flash looks all depressed and muted like these have, I'm going to be a bit disappointed. He's really not that sort of character.

I can't view this on mobile. What is it?

It was shown to fans at the WB panel at last year's Comic-Con.

Welcome to the hype train. Choo Choo indeed.

I hope they give him this sort of presence and attitude. I wouldn't even be mad if they lifted this straight from the comic.
Like what Aquaman? Is there civil war and unrest between world's population of walruses?

Is Zach making a joke reference to GoT with "Unite The Seven", is there a DC Atlantis reference I'm missing there, or is he talking about the founding seven members of the Justice League?
Founding members.
1 - Superman
2 - Batman
3 - Wonder Woman
4 - Aquaman
5/6/7 - Flash/Green Lantern/Cyborg.
Seven Seas, Seven Members, clever wording.
Aquaman looks great but I really can't get excited for a J. League movie. It feels hollow. My fav The Flash has been nailed by Gustin and he'll not be in the role. So the #1 reason I'd want to see a J. League movie is dashed against the rocks. Curse you DC and Warner.
(I'll still see it)

or the fact that she, along with most of the justice league, are some of the most recognizable characters of all time.

the zack snyder way.
Then you can explain it within a scene or two. You definitely don't need a 2-hours movie for that.
The Matrix starts with Trinity doing some weird kickass shit and then teleporting via a telephone booth. Then, 30 minutes into the movie, Morpheus explains that the world we see is really a virtual reality feed to us by machines that harvest and treat humans as their energy source. The end. The audience get that and the movie is successful. The whole universe (the basics) and ideology of the Matrix was explained within 5-10 minutes.
Audience isn't stupid, at least not that much. And when you go to the cinema to see a movie that stars Superman - you know, the guy from another planet, who is inhumanly strong, can fly and can shoot laser beams out of his eyes - you have to be prepared for crazy characters and scenes out of this world.
There are a lot of movies, books and games that merge modern-day realistic settings with sci-fi or fantasy ones and they just throw you into the world, in the middle of some action, and explain the universe as you read/watch/play it. Why can't we expect the same from comic book hero movies? Why do we have to take it slow and dedicate solo movies to each character.
And I prefer the Superman vs Batman to establish the universe and characters of TJL and then have separate movies that focus solely on Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash etc. where those characters are already established as existing in this world and serving as super heroes.
Exactly.
"Here's Wonder Woman - she's an Amazon warrior princess."
"Here's Aquaman - he's the Atlantean, ruler of Atlantis and oceans. He can do stuff with water and can talk to fishes."
"Here's Flash - he's a cop and is the fastest man on Earth."
