Really hope the Bat modulator doesn't stay. I can see it sucking the wind out of most scenes.

makes me wonder if they revealed this much because there is going to be surprises during the movie.

But those are good? Feels like you shouldnt throw stones in glass houses. Especially when you've got Jessie Heisenberg chipping away at the glass with his big angular forehead.it looks like a freaking marvel movie man.

We're getting some of that in Suicide Squad
No, it's because that's the only method that's been attempted thus far. You can't really argue it's the only one that has worked compared to others when you have a sample size of one
What did he mean by this?

That last part is kind of ignorant to say. It's the only one that has actually worked because it's the only one that exists at all.
And how is showing Batman alone going to show team dynamics better than you know showing him in a team?
It's the only method that has worked because it's the only one anyone has done. Actually that's not even true - it's not like the TV shows need multiple episodes before they all team up. Doesn't the first Justice League episode literally have them all team up after 15 minutes? People aren't that dumb.
Guardians of the Galaxy didn't exactly need 4 or 5 origin movies.
... What does this even mean?

It still sounds better than Bales growl metal voice. But it does prove that Keaton will always have the best bat voice

Looks kinda dumb, plus cringeworthy acting.
Well, dude reverse engineers a dead Kryptonian into a gigantic monster that it'll take THREE superheroes to defeat; implies that he knows who Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are; and goads the two biggest superheroes of all time into fighting one another in mutually assured destruction.
And we had Donald Trump Lex Luthor, it's called Superman Returns. People didn't care for the real estate schemes.

Well, the MCU in fact started with two films, released only a few months apart. But there was no film in 2009 and only one in 2010, whereas WB is doing at least two a year right from the get-go.
Literally pretty much the only thing I actually liked about this trailer was Jesse Eisenberg's take on Luthor. Pretty much the only inspired, not to mention actually charismatic thing I've seen from this project. Yeah, it's a little different from how "Classic Lex" is usually presented, but we've seen that interpretation a hundred times. Give this new take a chance, guys.
Also not a fan of:
-Batman apparently acting like Rorschach now and physically branding criminals because heck, Snyder has just got to inject some more completely unneeded, grim-dark violence into another popular character he probably doesn't quite understand.
-Henry Cavill not seeming to even bother with the "Clark Kent" persona thing, discarding one of the most iconic and popular aspects of the character so that now literally the only difference between Superman and Clark is a pair of glasses probably because Snyder didn't think it was "cool" enough. Thrilling.
-Lex not seeming to make up his mind about what the "oldest lie in America" is.
-"If man won't kill God...THE DEVIL WILL DO IT!"
Come back Spiderman 3, all is forgiven.

I find it cute that people think the MCU would've started slowly if they were always under the Disney umbrella. If they had full control from the start like they do now, they'd have done three films a year from the get go.

SOOOO much better.
How is that "the only method" that worked? How exactly did it *work*? I haven't seen neither of the Hulk movies, neither of Captain America movies (although I heard that Winter Soldier is actually good, so I will have to watch it), and the second Thor movie; and yet I was able to easily grasp what's going on in both Avengers movies. You know why? Because those aren't some noname characters - those are popular superheroes with years of history in pop culture. Plus, neither the stories nor characters themselves are really that complicated. The first movie managed to reintroduce each and every character in the first 20 minutes or so, detailing their abilities, characters and relationships.
The only one who really succeeded thanks to the whole MCU concept is Marvel itself, that managed to convince people that to get the most fun of those movies they have to watch every single one of them, including the bad and bland ones.
should have edited Zod out so people ask them self why this "mutant" can shoot lasers out if his eyes like supes (mutantkryptonian?) but now you really already know it all.
Still get entertainment out of stuff/films like this. Gaf is not a good place to get opinions to certain movies.
bring it. and boy did i laugh and wtf at the "Affleck as batman" reveal back then but he strangely really fits well (judging from the two trailers and pics) and I'm totally on board.

I am loving Affleck as Batman.
I dont know how you can make this conection.
Real state was the plot of Luthor's master plan in the first Superman movie.
Meh, I still find Zuckerberg as a weird choice for Lex

I'm willing to bet that's not Batman doing it. Either, like another poster said, Lex is involved and making Batman seem more dangerous for his own ends, or, IMO, it's setting up the Joker, Jason Todd, Batman relationship and planting the seeds for Red Hood

it's been a while since i saw the original superman movie but superman returns lex luthor suuuuucked. rather have a younger more conniving luthor in the form of eisenberg than the goofy idiot genius that was spacey in returns.

I very much doubt that, given that WB is being so aggressive largely as a reaction to Marvel's success. A larger corporate parent would probably have been *more* skeptical about Marvel's ability to sell audiences on superhero IP other than Spider-Man and X-Men, not less.
That was just a continuation of what Lex was after in the Donner movies.
Superman 1 = Lex Luthor's big plan is a real estate scheme.
Superman 2 = Luthor strikes a deal with Zod in exchange for some prime real estate (Australia)
Superman Returns = Kryptonite Island
Hackman's Luthor is in third place only to Rosenbaun and Justice League show.
Dont get me wrong, is not that I dislike the take on SvB Luthor, rather, is just weird seen Michael Cera on this.

A LOT better. I'm not 100% sold on the "cut to black/roar" part just, but that's probably because I don't like the roar.

Liked the trailer. Liked the dialogue. Liked the costumes. Liked the humour.

Anyone else bored of CGI monsters/villains? The conflict between Clark and Bruce seemed infinitely more foreboding. That's what you get from good dialogue and acting. So why the need to inject another character who offers nothing but walls being smashed? Who, ultimately, will lose the fight? It's the same strange hype people had for Zod fighting Superman. I'm just tired of these CGI set pieces.
Give a film some heart. Give us characters we won't forget.
Let the audience sympathise with Lex. Let them be conflicted between Bruce and Clark.

That music, though--so awful. It's more suited for some YouTube parody trailer.
And those little jump cuts. It's like they didn't know what to do, so they added cuts. Jump cuts of Superman walking, even.

I only saw the original Superman movie recently, and I can't fathom how people think Hackman's Lex is a good villain or good Lex. He's completely non-threatening, has villainous plans that wouldn't seem out of a place in a 1960s Batman episode, and doesn't at all seem like the intelligent dangerous Lex from the comics
I chalk it up to nostalgia.

Hype.
I liked it. I thought Lex was great. Ben Affleck is killing it. That conversation. "Maybe its the Gotham City in me." Doomsday looks like a Ninja Turtle, but I like Lex making him to kill Superman. Kind of wish I hadn't watched the trailer though. Feels like its the entire movie.

Conversation at the beginning is probably the highlight, for better or worse. You can tell Bruce knows something.
Yeah I don't know if I should be pissed that the trailer pretty much spoils the whole movie or relieved that I can save some money by not seeing this obvious turd of a movie. It looks terrible.

What has Snyder done that can legitimately be considered great? Maybe Dawn of the Dead?
Everything else has been a complete disappointment or failure imo.
