You dont get it. We knew they were going to team up. I think most people however wanted that moment when they team up to be a surprise to see at the theater and not in a poorly edited awkward trailer like this.

Yeah, I don't understand why for years they've been going with this "VS" title only to basically abandon the concept even in marketing before the film is already out. Just call it Justice League already.

"Iron Man V Thor V Hulk V Shield : Get ready to be Avenged" May 2012

 

[PsychBat!]

Oh Jesus, please, not the fuckin' owl movie.

Rise of the Legend of the Guardians of the Galaxy of Ga'Hoole

 

[DrForester]

Pretty meh trailer. Still not buying Affleck as Batman, and the full-ham Lex Luthor seems terribly out of place.

It's like a Michael Bay Ninja Turtle and the monster from "The Incredible Hulk" had a child...

the best scene was the bruce/clark meeting. that clown line was great.

kinda wish they just stuck with the serious tone of the other trailers, this was a bit corny. maybe it's not indicative of the final product though and they're just trying to get more butts in the seats.

Yeah, that's the only part of the trailer I enjoyed.

 

[Nuova]

Generally trailers are made to make people WANT to see your movie, not turn them away :/

Christ that was awful

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

This is the kind of trailer I despise, because I'm pretty damn sure they revealed every single plot point in the movie. Terrible. Wish I didn't watch it.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Well...that was something. The tone in this trailer is completley different from what they have shown before.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Batman v Superman but the movie is really about...

Way to spoil this about the movie so openly in ads. Doomsday would've been great if not revealed so simply. Guess they want that action figure money!

Jesse would've played a great joker though! Not feeling his Luthor Jr.

 

[Bornstellar]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[Mr Cola]

One thing I do like is how unhinged Batman is, I was quite surprised he called the Joker a freak frankly, he seems quite weary.

 

[Johndoey]

Doomsday is a mindless tank designed only to provide a physical threat I don't know what some of you expected.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

How many people are going to superhero movies for their finely, densely, intricately layered plots.

Anybody?

Raise your hand if your major in to superhero films, or superheroes in general, is the strength of their PLOTTING.

Get 'em up there, guys. Lemme see ya.

Uh, I think a lot of us are fans of COMIC BOOKS for their intricate plots and interesting character developments/comparisons.

Thus when we see shit like this, we tend to get worked up. But thats not saying we aren't going to pay to see it anyways.

Like, do you need this all spelled out for you?

Batman is my favorite comic book character, so quote away. This movie and Suicide Squad are not looking good to me and that bums me out. BvS has to be great or the DCU could be in trouble.

 

[slightconfuse]

Doomsday looks like a berserker from gears of War

 

[Live Free or Die]

wow this movie keeps getting worse every trailer. lol

THIS. People swear like these movies are supposed to ascend your brain into the next dimension with their deep story telling.

 

[Blastoise]

It's a lot more funnier than I thought it would be.

I'm glad every scene isn't just brooding shots of Supe's and Bat's face.

 

[jey_16]

Fucking lol, first it was not enough jokes and now it's too many jokes.

Trailer definitely different in tone but I liked it, and that ending....can't wait

 

[onipex]

Thought it was a good trailer but it didn't need the spoiler.

 

[KalBalboa]

DC has no clue what they're doing. Zod being turned into Doomsday is fucking dumb. And news flash, he fucking kills Superman. Having Doomsday already is dumb...we know he won't kill Superman this time. Eisenberg as Luthor is poor casting, but what's new for DC.

Comic book movie threads on GAF, everybody.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Doomsday looks like the Trolls from LOTR.

Well WB is publishing it, so they could have re-used assets?

Yeah sorry, but if you know anything about Doomsday and the DC universe you'd realize that Doomsday is such a boring character. Them "saving" this cardboard character would have done nothing and no I don't want to see Death of Superman in live action, it would make him coming back even dumber and convulted.

 

[3N16MA]

Is everyone saying the film was spoiled because Doomsday was a secret to this point?

 

[Sou Da]

Eisenberg seems really self aware that he's in a Superhero flick and I'm glad mad scientist Luthor is still a thing. The first Clark/Bruce conversation was good.

Those are the only positives I can take out of this.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Doomsday looks like a berserker from gears of War

YES!

You nailed it!

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Uh, I think a lot of us are fans of COMIC BOOKS for their intricate plots

Huh.

They're all basically the same plot, though.

Are you there for the plot, or are you there to see how the characters grow/react/interact with the other characters as a result of the actions of other characters?

I'm betting it's the latter, and not really the former. Because the former is pretty rote way more often than it isn't.

 

[Anth0ny]

DAM SON


please be good ; _ ;

 

[TheStruggler]

not digging the robotic batvoice at the end there hmmm

 

[Magwik]

Batman is my favorite comic book character, so quote away. This movie and Suicide Squad are not looking good to me and that bums me out. BvS has to be great or the DCU could be in trouble.

I was just joking lol. But honesty characters trump quality in the genre.

 

[Kaizer]

Overall thought: meh.

 

[Skux]

That was... weird.

It looked like a pretty cool psychological rivalry before... now it's a monster movie.

 

[Dalek]

no no no the batvoice is superior. he looks good too.

but man this looks like the same shit i criticize marvel for. very goofy humor in this one.

Lol

Rex Reed over here.

 

[SchrodingerC]

That Lex luthor

Not diggin' him at all.
He kind of acts like a dickish joker

 

[Boke1879]

Again it's SOOOOO funny seeing the disconnect here and on twitter.

 

[fallengorn]

When Lex opened his mouth I can already hear the angry comments being generated.

Trailer didn't do much for me... but seeing the trinity together brought a smile to my face.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

I feel like this is a false equivalence.

Man of Steel's trailers were pretty warmly-received by people.

This on the other hand...

Yeah the official trailer (one before the "you're not alone" one) was fantastic. Really captured Superman.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

But for real, that first meeting between Bruce and Clark is great.

 

[Blade30]

This trailer was kinda badly edited and overblown in length, should have been shorter or better edited otherwise it does look jumbled together.
I also don't like Lex Luthor and Batvoice in it, this might change when I see the movie but so far I'm not feeling it.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

Also Doomsday's CG looks bad, but I'll chop that up to shitty youtube bitrate. Although Warcraft's Durotan looked IMMENSELY better. Would assumed IL&M was doing the CG on this too though. Weird.

Seriously why the flying fuck are you nitpicking this shit
ITS A TRAILER, and we don't even know the context of what's going on in those scenes

I nitpick because I care. And there really isn't much else to talk about with this trailer.

 

[jtb]

it's so.... campy....

 

[Juanfp]

Did they spoil the whole movie with the trailer or its just me?

I like this Lex

 

[Syf]

Doomsday.. why do you look like a Lord of the Rings troll.

 

[benzy]

Lex seems awful.

 

[Hazmat]

I hate in movies when they have a character explicitly state the notable thing that's happening. "Hey kids! It's Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne meeting!" It will be made slightly less bad if Lex knows both of their identities, but I would think Lex knowing that would be huge for being this early in the franchise.

 

[MMarston]

Batman V. Superman | Spoiler Thread | Thanos is Doomsday

 

[Tabby]

Is everyone saying the film was spoiled because Doomsday was a secret to this point?

Anyone that knew anything about DC knew it was happening. Honestly, I'm not understanding why this is a big deal.

 

[Nuova]

You actively have to try to make a Batman v Superman movie look bad; and somehow WB is doing it, mainly by shoehorning a thousand fucking characters into this movie.

 

[KalBalboa]

All the relationships seem pretty spot on. Glad to see Lex going public billionaire & Frankenstein. Been wanting that for ages in a movie proper.

 

[greycolumbus]

I'm getting Spider-Man 3 vibes from this trailer, too much going on. It's already busy with lex, batman, Wonder Woman, now you add doomsday as well?

keep it simple stupid!

Lex looks corny as hell, they should've just gotten Marc strong and be done with it.

Yeah, this looks like a trainwreck. A very watchable one, though.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Other than some spotty cgi and a bit of a disjointed feeling I'm pretty pumped to see this movie. Wonder Woman coming with that shield was great and the whole Clark and Bruce conversation at the beginning was really nice.
