Well said, I happen to love the Nolan trilogy (even with the flawed but still rewarding Return of the Jedi like Rises as the trilogy capper), so I'm with you.
For me, TDK, Spidey 2 and Batman Begins remain the gold standard.
My only significant lament about the Nolan trilogy was making Batman inactive for the 8 years between the Dark Knight and Rises.......it makes his career too short.
It's a nerd thing but it could've been avoided.
Just say he was Batman for a few more years, then hung up his cowl at the same time he became recluse Bruce Wayne (which I think was just the 3 years previous to Rises).
Given Nolan's grounded approach, a 5 year career as Batman would've felt pretty complete to me, and plausible that he'd be beaten up enough at the start of Rises, and old enough, to make both his defeat to Bane and his eventual retirement feel complete.
Despite the overdue library books, it just feels like there's a movie missing between the Dark Knight and Rises (Riddler/Penguin story).
Still love the trilogy though.

But nah. Can we please talk about the destruction in Man of Steel? I feel like we haven't really discussed that.
The movie was supposed to be released earlier this year and had a final cut in like May. No surprise here.
what if her hair gets in front of the beams

I wonder if we might see this scene Wednesday.
To differentiate her from Superman? Or they're hotter? Kara in the comics is sometimes referred to being even more (or potentially more) powerful than Superman.

There is so much about this that is completely and utterly stupid.
It was shown off at the IMAX event in MarchWait where did you find this?
Snyder is only as good as his script. He clearly is passionate about every single frame, I think his movies look amazing, and when it comics to comicbook stuff, he gets excited about the broad themes. But understanding the intricacy of a small, intimate moment? Or concerning himself with the logistical through-line of a story... I don't know that he thinks on that level. He really needs his writer and his actors to pull the weight on that end.
But what happens if he needs to hurry because there's a hostage situation? "Hold on Alfred, I need to get my paint on. Alfred? Alfred, we're out of paint. WELL I CAN'T JUST GO OUT THERE WITH NO EYE-PAINT ON, NOW COULD I?! THAT WOULD LOOK STUPID!"

Wow, it really is a terrible trailer.
Thank god it's not actually a trailer though. It's an out of context scene from somewhere in the movie. And not even a full scene. Part of a scene. We know literally nothing about what's gone on by this point in the movie, or what will happen next. We have rumors and guesses.
But don't let that stop you. This movie looks like shit. Hack Snyder sucks. It's too dark. It takes itself too seriously. And Cavill is balding.

This comic adaptation I would watch.
Is this where we are at as a society? Something as meaningless as a fucking hairline and you're bitching about it? Jesus Christ guys.
Anyway, it looks fun, Ill definitely see it.
Yo. That's from tonight's episode!? Was going to hold off on watching that tomorrow but damn. I'll watch that tonight instead.

Not surprised at all by the negative reaction in here when so many apparently couldn't understand basic plot points and story progression when Man of Steel came out, lol.
Trailer looks awesome

So is the desert-Batman thing just one long dream sequence where Bruce dreams up a worst-case scenario of Superman taking over the world a la Red Son and decides he has to stop it?
Because I'm okay with that.
If it weren't for this week's episode I wouldn't get this at all.

Was waiting for this to make its way out of the One Punch Man thread lol.

I did too but like... I wish I didn't. Man of Steel, imo, was utter shit. One of the worst movies I've seen in a while! It like... hinted at taking itself in a deeper direction, but it went no further than the hint. Constant winks to a movie with more depth, only to give us something just... over the top and silly with no substance. Not saying that a friggin Superman movie has to have substance to it or tell some grand tale, but it's clear that they wanted its viewers to believe it would from the trailers, and they at least tried to do so.
That's my fear with this movie, that it won't go further than constant winking and the trailers will be better than the movie
I'm going into this expecting a fun and over the top action movie with my favorite super hero, and nothing more. Hopefully it'll be a fun ride!
Apparently, I mean fuck its a wonder how some of these people function in modern society if they dont even know humans have different hairlines and they arent are all the same.
