Jesus. No. NO.
NO!!!
Fuck.
The Kryptonians suit is made out of a substance only found on Krypton. THAT is why it's indestructible. Their feats were purely them, absorbing Sunlight like Superman. They were granted super strength, speed, and invulnerability and had they stayed on the planet longer they would've gotten more powers...like Zod.
The only thing special about the suits were the fact that they couldn't be scratched...due to being of alien design.

No, it doesn't. Here are the lines:
At no point is strength or powers tied to Earth's atmosphere or gravity. Rather it is tied to radiation or exposure to Kryptonian atmosphere.
The only reason Jor-El mentions Earth's environment is to explain how an alien from a harsher environment could survive on another planet, which sets up why he has trouble aboard the Black Zero. If the powers were dependent on atmosphere or gravity, the videos show several places where that rule is broken... likely making it NOT a rule.
As for the sensory attack, that's addressed in the video as well and nowhere does the film say exposure to Earth's atmosphere creates the full compliment of powers. Rather, we're given one explicit example of powers being deferred (flight) an explanation which works across the board.
How did people misinterpret that so badly?
They even had initial sickness at the exposure to the sun's radiation that granted them their powers. It was a significant plot point, not easily confused.
I like the theory that the organic nature of their tech shares some underlying trait that allows Kryptonians to be invulnerable under a yellow sun... so the tech wouldn't be invulnerable on Krypton, but would be on Earth... which isn't too far afield what the designers had in mind because the manacles look like spines, everything looks grown or organic... so that gene, or whatever, might be in some of their tech.
It's an unsupported theory, but kind of consistent with tradition, like Superman's clothing and ship being invincible on Earth.

That would be one hell of a brilliant troll.

This trailer seems to be from Batman's POV. Supes as a god, always being shown above humanity...I wonder if the next one will have a sort of anti-Batman view or from Supes POV? It would be interesting if that's how they are marketing it. Pick a side.
The only way I see it is if Batman figures out Sup's weakness which is Kryptonite but other than that it is a one sided fight.

Why does he wear the mask!?
That's really how they should market it. Since everyone have a favourite and the movie is called Batman v Superman.

My friend, DC Comics has got you covered.

Queue 3 pages of people quoting that comic.
It definitely is, and I think it sounds really cool. I want to know if it will be like that throughout the movie or just when he's in the armour.
With how it's presented here, I wonder if WB is using the trailer to gauge fan reaction on it.

I expected garbage, and I left pleasantly surprised. This looks good. Faith restored

Couldn't hear the last line well in the cam version, but now that I did, it sounds so damn corny.

Looks okay. It feels like it's trying to be too serious and that's what's throwing me off. You have a light hearted character meshing with the opposite. Hopefully the story develops good, but so far it feels so forced for drama when there probably isn't going to be any. Idk, I'm not that impressed.
Comparing this to the Avenger which also doesn't look too hot imo, they both feel like disappointments. What's going on?

it's kinda low for me, but that's because of the other interesting stuff coming up. my hype chart:
star wars > mad max > xmen apocalypse > batman vs superman = civil war > pan > avengers 2

Superman. He has never screamed "Serious" to me the way Batman is. His sense of humor isn't dry and concerning. It just feels like he has to be mad or questioning something to be dark. Idk, it's not how I imagine superman... But then again, his origins are not something I'm A+ certified in knowing tbh.
More Dark Knight Returns references.
He uses it to fire a grappling hook into the side of a building in the comic.

I was being facetious. Man of Steel was anything but lighthearted lol. I don't think Superman has been lighthearted since Reeves.

just hoping this film gives us some room for slightly aloof clark kent and fucking daylight in metropolis.
i'd be fine with batman's scenes all being set in the night (and bruce wayne in the day) since that's appropriate.

Man, I'm a huge DC fan but this film doesn't have me hyped in the slightest. The trailer still doesn't do it for me.

Plenty of serious issues in Superman comics. So many.
OT:
This movie will be EPIC beyond belief.
Super excited. Love the TDKR superman and love all the stuff Jonathon Kent said coming to fruition in this film. It's nice to see Superman going through the process that makes him who he is and will be once Justice League and sequels come out. Love the tone. It's a nice contrast to what we get with Marvel.
