The showed a Flash concept image at the very very beginning, either before or during the Green Lantern Corps thing.



Because he's the one on trial.... and not Clark Kent... going as Clark would defeat the purpose of the secret identity

Well of course he wouldn't go as Clark Kent, I'm not asking for that. I just think the image of fully suited up Superman in court is goofy, even if it makes sense.

Sooo... can someone TRY to explain to me what the hell is going on with Batman in the desert?

The classical pillars in the background have me wondering, could this be Themiscyra (home of WW)?

What in the name of Batman's nipples were they THINKING here?

The rest of the trailer was freaking awesome though.

Many of us suspect this is some sort of dream/hallucination. Look at the destroyed wayne manor building in the background.

Don't know how it happens but it seems this is some sort of future Bruce envisions if Superman were to rule the world so to speak. Notice the soldiers have the "S" logo on their shoulder.

How much crow are the haters eating?

Gal Gadot? Fantastic

Affleck? BORN to Play Batman

MoS destruction? Addressed

Jared Leto? Worthy sucessor to ledger

Jesse Eisenberg? A new more insightful look at Lex Luthor

Its a trailer and we know how many times we have been burnt before.....

I still don't understand why Batman even has the slightest chance in beating superman. He literally should break him into pieces immediately considering the massive amount of damage he inflicted in the superman film.

I really like Lex in this. Not sure about the rest; I like the "normal" batsuit but I really, really don't like the robosuit. I'm still having a hard time taking the Supes storyline seriously with him in court in full get-up.

Cautiously interested, I guess?

Lex (while oddly consistent with his depictions in the previous films) looks to be the most entertaining part of this movie.

I wonder if the Daily Planet will ask Clark Kent to cover Superman's Senate hearing. Hopefully hijinks will ensue.

That was actually the most intriguing part to me. Looked to be Batman's fears/nightmares, and taking inspiration from Red Son.
 
The Red Capes are coming line.

I wonder if he's referring to that group of Superman soldiers? Maybe that's the name they've taken, as silly as it sounds?

I think the Super Soldiers thing was probably just a Batman vision/dream sequence. Luthor's line is probably an indication that he's going to use fear mongering to drum up the public against Superman and for himself.

The Superman Soldiers are a whatif? scenario, basically Lex Luthor is implying that there will be more aliens like Superman coming, probably to try and get the senator to take some kind of action out of fear of something like the metropolis incident happening again.

Sure, it's a cool trailer, but this is Zack Snyder. He always does this and the full movies never deliver. Even Watchmen, which I really liked, had way cooler trailers than the movie turned out to be.

Exactly. It's really not hard to get the public to imagine that another attack on Earth is possible unless they do something.

Everyone wanted consequences for what happened in Metropolis in MoS and they finally get it. Cannot wait for the fight. It's been a LONG time coming to see it in live-action with a big budget. Haters can go eat shit. If you're not into it, you can go watch your amazing indie emo bullcrap. This is pure popcorn entertainment for comic fans.
 
that batman vs superman soldiers dream sequence looks so stupid. it hasn't worked in either trailer so far i dunno why they even filmed that. the rest looking piff tho.

So bad...looks like two things.
1) a child smashing his toys together and play acting a story they made up.
2) wonder woman, joker notes remind me of some batman fan film from a few years ago where there are a bunch of character cameos for no reason.

I dont read other peoples opinions because when something new like this releases their nerd hard ons are unrealistically huge but i cant imagine anyone watching this and thinking it looks good, unless you are like 9 years old.

What does this even mean?
It's only targeting people who want to have the current zeitgeist reflected in their superhero movies? Politics, senate hearings and the realistic (and grim) real life consequences of vigilantism and super heroes in our societies?
It should target an as broad as possible audience.

Save a baby out of burning building, let a weaker bad guy punch you in the face and say a witty oneliner. You know, the things heroes usually do. Heroic stuff.

Instead it is trying to lure people in with "iconic shots" and gravely voices, trying to deliver every line with such gravitas as if it were a Shakespear play. Our inherit reaction to this in a trailer is: "That looks awesome!" Because we asume the context for all this badass-ery will be given by the full movie.

I was fooled once, but not again.

The idea of retconning Superman's recklessness by creating a complete plotline of this oversight leaves me with extreme unease. Man of Steel doesn't work as a standalone movie and by trying to adress those glaring flaws in a sequel, it works even less than intended.


Suicide Squad though is just a cavalcade of throw-away characters few people care or know about to build acceptance for the lesser known villains of the DC Universe. Jared Leto as "new" Joker looks ridiculous but even ignoring him, or giving him the benefit of the doubt, I doubt that this poor-mans Guardians of the Galaxy will suceed.

It's sad to see DC fail so miserably delivering a solid movie for their tentpool characters.

Whatever.

Not sure why you even bothered to watch the trailer if you knew what you were going to watch.

Lol, yeah, nice use of the word "retcon", did you know it was planned ahead of time, or are you making things up to justify this narrative of yours? The last sentence makes even less sense... especially since it looks to tie in quite well.

I'm not sure how to feel about the trailer.

On one hand; it's actually happening and Zack Snyder still knows how to bring the visual flair.

On the other; this looks kind of thinly spread at the moment. I'm not sure what the focus and takeaway is from the majority of this. I'm a bit worried it might fall into a similar trap as Man of Steel where much of the story lacked focus, and doesn't even have much of an optimistic reinforcement that I'd expect with some of the source material. I've never thought much about Zack Snyder's storytelling ability (although I still think his Watchmen adaptation was about as good as it'd get), and I don't care for David Goyer's writing at all. Guy had one hit with The Dark Knight but everything before and since has mostly been duds.

I want to believe, but yeah. I'm... somewhat optimistic I suppose.
 
Can we get a hi-res gif of Batman grappling away from Supes' heat vision, PLEASE?!

That scene has to be the most Batman-esque grapple we've ever gotten from a movie. I don't even care if the CG looks half-baked.
 
Holy shit, I almost cried tears of joy. Thats never happened to me before.

This is like... The movie I've been waiting my whole life for. I get what Marvel fans feel, finally.

Day 1.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
omg that was amazing

edit, no gif and only pics on the front page? shame on all the posters. This is GAF.
 
It looks like Snyder doesn't understand that Superman's heat vision isn't supposed to look like Cyclops concussive blasts.

It's OK Zack, 70% of comic book artists don't understand that either.

offensive, uncalled for, rude. Jackpot, mate

I think he's just talking about more godlike superhumans arriving or otherwise making their presence known.

Ah, okay.

I thought the Superman Soldiers were an actual thing, but if they are a what if scenario/worst nightmare type thing, the scaremongering aspect makes sense,

Fits nicely with the Red Coats are coming too, that's some pretty deep historical scaremongering going on. Love it.

I like a lot of things, and I will watch this movie. But the whole idea of this fight is just silly to me.

I look forward to hopefully being surprised, but I doubt it :)

Love the Lex Luthor take too :)

You're telling me a large majority of the people that define how a super hero looks, don't know how it looks? I don't understand where you're coming from

Really dude?

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
The actions scenes look really cool. I'm still not convinced that they've ditched the philosophical garbage of Man of Steel and the Dark Knight movies though.

The Robin suit, letter, and statue handwriting all look the same.The Joker isn't in the movie, so what's the deal?

Isn't the trailer filled with Superman and Batman saving people? Batman saving that girl in Metropolis, Superman saving people from floods and fires.

The witty one liner comment is pretty silly though and I hope that the Marvel movies reign that in back some because it was nauseating in Avengers 2.
