Fuck it, sure...

Edit: Damn, beaten!




Injustice: Gods Among Us. Superman's slow decent into becoming the tyrannical ruler of Earth... And it's fucking awesome.

A wasn't Batman the one who kept poking the Lion with a stick? Then when the Lion attacks him Alfred shoots the Lion for attacking. It was the biggiest bullshit I ever witnessed. But then Superman took all his playmates away from him so he really didn't have much else to do other then obsess on Supes.

Just a reminder of where Snyder used to stand on Batman v Superman back at the Man of Steel Comic Con.

Did you see that ass?

OMG, THAT ASS!

 

[Totobeni]

Not gonna lie, BvS will make it hard to watch MoS with that hideous filter.


Even on a night setting BvS looks more colorful lol

you can always try to get red of Snyder filter using VLC (just copy your MoS DVD or bluray dvdfab or other program)

Oh god, it's almost like that awful RE5 mod.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Its funny watching people shrug off the Thor/IM fight. Why didn't Loki kill Captain? How is Hawkeye and Blackcat beating up super aliens (and ultrons)? Why did Ronan stand there instead of watching Quill break dance? Why is Thanos chilling in his chair when can probably kill 90% of the MCU heros in 10 secs?

This game can go on forever. Obviously theres going to be some nerfing going on. Whether or not they go the lazy kryotonite route or something interesting is the only worry i have. I'm hoping for something new and interesting since krytonite is played out.

 

[JoeNut]

Ok forgive me for my lack of comic knowledge but as a general "i like superhero movies" type fan, Superman..the guy who can fly and is practically invincible versus Batman, the rich bloke who has a fancy suit and nice gadgets, seems to be a bit of a mismatch. How on earth can this work?

I imagine the fight would go something like Superman picks up batman, flies at the speed of light into space and throws him out of the atmostphere. Batman dies.

Am i wrong? i obviously am or the film would be about 5 minutes long i suppose

Once again, Supes doesn't want to kill Batman

And Bats probably weakens him with tech, also might have Wonder Woman as back-up

 

[Sojgat]

Oh god, somebody please just make a thread explaining how it's possible for Batman to fight Superman already.

Loki didn't kill Captain because he wanted to be captured. Black Cat is a Spider-Man character. Ronan was confused and baffled as he had never seen a "dance off" before.

 

[Vyer]

Just wait and see, or go read The Dark Knight Returns.

Yup. People are hand wringing over batman/superman meetings when this movie has made clear what they are drawing from primarily.

'But superman fighting batman is dumb!1!' is the new 'ledger is a terrible choice for Joker' and 'GotG will bomb'.

 

[Ithil]

Batman and Superman fighting in The Dark Knight Returns was sort of dumb in that, too.

Huh. Huh.

That looks way better o.o

 

[jett]

That punching shot was clearly thrown together at the last minute. Batman and Superman literally slide towards each other without any animation, heh.

What the heck is up with Cavill's hair line?

Yes yes I know, thread cycle and all that but it looked liked Black Adam's massive widow's peak

WB will have to pay for hair plugs for Justice League.

It's amazing/bizarre to me how many people are asking this. "He can just rip his head off! This is so stupid!"

Injustice is hilarious. This is how Nightwing died.

People keeping saying things like this, seem to forget that this isn't Mortal Kombat and Clark wouldn't want to kill him

So blasting Batman's face off with heat vision isn't an option

Yeah but why is he running at Bruce at all? Why not just stand still and use that super speed to easily dodge any of Bruce's punches?

DKR is generally considered one of the greats in the genre. Can't please everyone of course, but if that's your starting point there is probably not much to discuss. Either way it addresses the question repeatedly asked.

I didn't say DKR is bad, I said their fight at the end was fairly dumb/contrived.

Yeah, the question gets asked on every page.

I swear, it's the Nolan movies that have caused this. Baleman was overly grounded in faux realism and not particularly bright. He'd probably knock himself out fighting MoS Superman. Batfleck is obviously going to be much closer to the more capable comics version of Batman that clearly many people aren't familiar with.

 

[Vyer]

I didn't say DKR is bad, I said their fight at the end was fairly dumb/contrived.

And most would disagree.

And calling it 'contrived' considering the time period and the state of the characters prior to its release also isn't very logical.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Is this real?

Mega dumb fuckery.

Supes running instead of... lasering the fuck out of Bats with his eyes? Instead of flying towards him at Mach 3?

HTH fight with armored Bats?

LOL... I mean this is nerdgasm but so, so, so, so, so, so dumb.

Spoiler

bruce has injected him with the atmospheric syrum of kryptonite after he does detective work on what is left of krypton elements after MoS which will slowly drain superman of his powers as the fight goes on

Looks like this will happen . Maybe.

 

[More_Badass]

Yeah but why is he running at Bruce at all? Why not just stand still and use that super speed to easily dodge any of Bruce's punches?

Bruce probably weakened him with tech. That would be a cool way to show off how intelligent and dangerous Batman can be.

 

[Imperial]

Yeah, the penciller fixed it for the digital release I believe

 

[Ithil]

And most would disagree.

I mean contrived as in the story in the comic feels contrived to give a reason for them to fight as its big climax, rather than it being a logical progression.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Loki didn't kill Captain because he wanted to be captured. Black Cat is a Spider-Man character. Ronan was confused and baffled as he had never seen a "dance off" before.

He can still be captured after killing Cap. Oops i meant Widow, point still stands though. Don't see how Ronan being confused of dance off is any less dumb of Batman/Superman fight. Clark has no idea what kyptonite is, so right away we have a logical explanation of a fair fight.

 

[Effect]

I have to think people that keep saying stuff like that are trolling. They can't honestly think those are viable options here. If they do then......

I agree with you 100% but nobody would watch this. In "reality" Supes would kill Bats, on screen, in less than 5 seconds.

It's essentially the payoff for what the series has built. If 'the story in the comic feels contrived' that's not much basis for considering it 'good.'

Seems to be your only exposure to batman has been the movies and not the comics

 

[Bit-Bit]

If anything, Batman vs. Superman threads proves that many people on GAF don't really have that good of an imagination where they can't possibly think of a scenario where Batman, the world's greatest detective and overall kung fu master can't level out the playing field to surprise and go toe to toe with Superman.

Like seriously, just stop for one second. And think, if I wanted to pit Bats and Supes together, how would I do it?

The answer is any way you fuckin want because this is fiction and these characters don't actually exist.

 

[Fuu]

I'm pretty sure that if we got movies called Thor V Iron Man, Hawkeye V Captain America, and so on, those fights would face the same level of scrutiny and even ridicule.

Of course people will keep asking how Batman can face Superman. These movies are made for the mainstream and that includes a ton of people who don't read comics or watch cartoons where the two throw down once in a while. They are familiar with the power levels and logic from the movies. Batman and Superman are two of the most iconic characters in the world and WB is having a conflict between those characters as the driving force behind the movie's marketing. They want people to keep asking "how can Batman face Superman?" and to feel confused about why Superman doesn't knock him out in half a second. It's disingenuous to expect otherwise.

 

[More_Badass]

Bears repeating for the 2,373rd time, Superman doesn't want to kill Batman. He's going to hold back. This excerpt pretty much sums it up
"I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die."

And who knows? Maybe that power armor is reverse engineered from the Kryptonian armor that withstood Superman's blows.

There's wondering how the movie will present it and then there's people saying that it's not even possible that such an event could occur. My post was more towards those people.

It's cool, I wasn't posting in reply to you specifically but more about the whole sentiment (I started writing the post before you posted yours). I agree, there's indeed a lot of people on the other side of the spectrum too who just shrug the whole idea of the movie as "dumb" without knowing the context and the details of the conflict.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Man if this is how the reaction is on a geeky ass video game forum I cant imagine how the public is going to react.

How are so many people completely aware that Batman can keep up with Superman in a fight?

Of course Superman could crush Batman into a ball and hurl him into the sun if he really wanted to, but he holds himself back and Batman always uses this against him.

Make no mistake this Batman has done his homework, he's probably studied as much footage from the metropolis battle ftom MoS that he is keenly aware of Supermans abilities and limitations. Batman regularly beats up gods if given enough prep time

Not "the story", one part of the story, at the end.

That's pretty major though. Buying into the story as a whole is what makes that work. That's why it's the payoff/conclusion.
