Zod wouldn't have been on Earth if Superman wasn't on Earth!

Then it would be the humanoids on some other planet who'd all die. Where's your empathy?

They're not serious, just "concern trollling". Lead the exact same carnival of stupid in the Arkham Knight thread and everyone took the bait there too

I am done feeding the troll.

That was the entire plot of Man of Steel haha. What are you talking about?

There are lots of planets without intelligent life/life at all on them. Like all of the known existing ones that aren't Earth lol

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

So no Bludhaven.

DC geography has always moved around depending on how the writer is feeling that day. God willing, if we get a Knightwing movie, they can throw Bludhaven in there.

 

[Dead]

That's horrible, don't you have any empathy?

And literally 0 of those people would have died if not for Superman, and he did 0 to protect them. If the rumors for the villain in this next film are correct, they wouldn't exist without Superman either.

Lex isn't evil at all in this film!


Why do you think that? He doesn't have to stroke any fires, the worst disaster in American history just happened in Metropolis. I'd consider him more of a villain if he wasn't trying to get people to hate Superman.

You serious?

Superman saved 6 Billion people in Man of Steel

A little Off-Topic

Guys I'm huge Batman fan, I didn't start reading Batman till the New 52. My question what Batman stories can we get if he has been Batman for 20 years already? Can we get the Red Hood? Maybe that's why Arkham Knight was the way it was, because WB/DC is really anal when it comes to use different adaptations.

I'm really hyped for this I still remember the crossover in the cartoons when Lex hired Joker to kill Superman. If I have to be honest I kinda would of liked a Batman with a little less mileage on him.

All of them. We can get all the stories.

DC said New 52 Batman had his entire history (minus retcons) happen in.... are you ready?...... Five years. 20 years, he might as well be dead already.

That was the entire plot of Man of Steel haha. What are you talking about?

Are you a mental gymnast? Like, do you have medals and stuff?

And yet did nothing to save thousands that died only because he put them in trouble in the first place. Thanks, I guess.

 

[Loudninja]

STAHP

If Superman leaves Earth in MoS and Zod is successful using his atmosphere changing device with no opposition, "literally 0 people die"?

GTFOOH

That machine alone woudl have killed a ton of people.

So Superman should live alone on a deserted planet and eat rocks. Gotcha.

I'm done.

 

[Crud]

Your time is about up.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

can't believe they really doing Batman's fucking origin story again

how many times do we have to see those people get shot in front of their son. Doesn't Batman have enough to frown about in this movie already?

 

[triplestation]

Yeah I know, I'm just saying what they've done before.

Still weird to me since I imagine Gotham as NYC.

yes

i always thought

NYC = Gotham

Chicago = Metropolis

just something you definitely would need a plane to travel to and back

To be fair, Snyder is going to make this one wicked sexy. IMAX and everything!

According to DC, in the 52 universe, yes. And if you are counting Stephanie in your Robin count, I love you and I want to be friends forever.

He should have! That's why Lex is the good guy in this film. At the very least, Superman's already done enough damage, he's shown himself to be a force of destruction rather than good. Why would anyone not hate Superman?

Like I get that the whole idea is that "what if Superman existed in the real world?" But it's really misguided then because in the "real world" every sane person would be "evil" like Lex is in this film because Superman is terrible.

Your problem seems to be that the movie took place on Earth.

And let thousands of people get killed by a guy that was only there for him

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I wonder if this is going to silence all the criticisms of the destruction in Man of Steel, or it is only going to amplify it once the film hits.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Naw, "literally 0 people" would have died.

 

[obijkenobi]

Zod wouldn't have been on Earth if Superman wasn't on Earth!

Wasn't it Lois who set the beacon on the way old Kryptonian ship that brought Zod to Earth? If so, then they would have come to Earth at some point regardless

I'm betting on amplified.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Zod wouldn't have been on Earth if Superman wasn't on Earth!

So? Superman didn't know Zod even existed. And he sure as hell isn't the one who decided humanity should be wiped out by terraforming a planet.

When presented with the option of surrendering himself so Earth could be safe, Supes did it. Just that Zod said "I'm gonna fuck your planet up anyway." Supes said "Aw hell no" and did what he could to stop him.


If someone comes to a party, but they have some weird crazy stalker who they don't even know about who follows them to the party and starts fucking everything up, flipping tables, and attacking people, you don't blame the person being stalked. Especially when they're the one who stops the stalker.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Metropolis - Detroit

no, Clark did that

We can definitely get the more interesting stories with a Batman who has been working for 20 years (which is around where I'd put him pre New 52). But measuring time in superhero comics is always eh.

3 or so years without a Robin -> 10 years with Dick as Robin --> 3-5 years with Jason as Robin --> Jason comes back after 4 or 5 years as Red Hood

It was Lois that activated the beacon that allowed Zod to come to earth.

Metropolis would need to look much more dilapidated to be like Detroit. And I say this as a proud citizen of a Detroit-area suburb.

And yet they let thousands of people die anyway, and Superman has done more harm than good for planet earth. But for some reason we're supposed to side with Superman over Lex Luthor, the guy who's pointing out that thousands are now dead because of him?

It's such a terrible idea from a concept perspective. It's just so baffling to me that they allowed whoever came up with this stuff to launch the DC film universe.

It was Lois that activated the beacon that allowed Zod to come to earth.

Nah dude, it wasn't.

 

[Htown]

Hell, Superman killing Zod is right in line with the comics. I still don't get why people are such crybabies about that.

THANK YOU

oh my god i was going crazy

 

[AstroNut325]

Haven't watched the trailer and I intend not to. But I have one question: Are they gimping Superman to make this movie work?

 

[tim.mbp]

So did the Nolan films happen in this universe or am I going to have to sit through another Batman origin retelling?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Presumably, if Batman has time to do DKR poses and can lift his fatass suit up in the air to stomp on Superman as he's just chillin there

 

[Shaanyboi]

Different universe.

 

[Sou Da]

The latter. Made it interesting by having him been around for a while though.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Why would you want to know of you are media blacked out or whatever?

I don't get it.

His parents getting shot was in the trailer

 

[Beelzebufo]

His parents dying is in the trailer. There's also at least one Robin.

 

[3N16MA]

Yeah I know, I'm just saying what they've done before.

Still weird to me since I imagine Gotham as NYC.

Nolan had three different Gotham's in his trilogy. It looked like Chicago at one point and then NYC with some Pittsburgh thrown in. Batman Begins had a unique Gotham.

As long as they keep it consistent and have Gotham feel like a large northeast city with a touch of NYC.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Actually I was thinking for a while.

Gotham = Chicago

Metropolis - Detroit

If anything, Gotham = Detroit. Especially in this movie. They're going for the "former industry marvel fallen on hard times" vibe heavy, and not just because it was filmed in Detroit.

I love Stephanie. I was so salty after they killed Damian, she was the reason I kept reading.

With how popular he is, there was no way they were going to keep him dead. He even has is own ongoing title now!

 

[Pau]

I don't know if there's anyone out there who would still ask: What happened to Bruce's parents?

 

[Rice-Eater]

Yes? Nightwing patrols New York City in the comics for a while.

Any idea how big Metropolis and Gotham are as cities? Just wondering because that could be another 10-20 million people added to the population of the US in this fictional world. Unless they decreased the population size of other cities.......not that any of this really matters but it got me thinking about that.

 

[rrc1594]

I thought they said when they were making MoS that Kryptonite was going to be in this Universes?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I don't know if there's anyone out there who would still ask: What happened to Bruce's parents?

They live on a special farm.
