Wait, is Supes bleeding in those last few frames?

I'm interested:

Did you like Man of Steel? Did you like the trailer?

I didn't like either, but I feel like my dislike the previous movie may colour my perception, curious to see up where others stand.

What were his qualifications though? Seems like the only thing that he would of had on his resume were bus boy and working on a crab boat.

There must of been a deleted scene where he makes out with Perry White on top of the Daily Planet and wipes his memory.

I assume Lois is familiar with the hiring process of the Daily Planet and would know how to game the system to get Clark a job.

Clark probably also forged qualifications, which I would imagine is doable considering he hid most of his adult life using aliases and whatnot. Man of Steel had a whole bit on it with it taking Lois considerable time peeling back the layers.

In fact, Clark managed to pull a low level job at the dig site with military personnel and I distinctly recall them mentioning he had snuck past background checks or something when they hired him.
 
Personally I think it's setting up Red Hood. We already have the marked Robin suit, Bruce mentioning Gotham's history with the clown, "You let your family die", Joker and Batman in Suicide Squad

Red Hood staging Batman becoming more violent to mess with him seems probable

I thought the "clown" comment was just Bruce taking a jab at Clark, pretty much telling him he knows he's Superman.

I would say no, cause The Red Hood is a lesser known character. But hey, who knows... I've had a bunch of friends asking me who the monster was after seeing the trailer. lol.

It's kinda interesting how the two big superhero movies next year feature the most popular heroes fighting against each other (Iron Man vs. Captain America, and Batman vs. Superman). The trailers show the same sorta conflict.

The difference is that Iron Man and Captain America's relationship has been established over several movies. Batman vs. Superman has to do a lot of heavy lifting which might create problems in the movie.

it doesn't have to be

Cap and Ironman are both superheroes, their enemies and methods fall along the same line for the most part naturally. So Marvel needed to set their division a lot more then DC have to for Bats and Sups.

with Batman and Superman, the contrast is clear from the start, and if you add "dark knight" Batman its even more prominent. Bat's an 'antihero' with a lot of grey to his methods, Clark is the prototype superhero.

Yes, yes

Man of Steel was a fun movie. Favorite Superman movie too. The Reeves moves are just too campy for me.

This looks great, although Eisenberg's Lex seems out of place

Batman has SUCH a moral high ground. Branding junkies in alleyways while Superman saves hurricane victims and an exploding shuttle.
Speaking of which, it's nice to see more Superman saving people to complement the inevitable slugfest with Doomsday that will destroy Metropolis.

Oh man, Lex or Bruce might go all Fox News on him..."SHOW US THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!"

I like how in just over half a day this thread has almost caught up to the page count of the over week old Civil War teaser thread.

No, I know what he meant by that comment, but it also shows Joker has been around for a while

And the movie is clearly hinting at a Red Hood storyline. A damaged Robin suit that looks like Todd's, Batman having a history with the Joker, the mention of one of the Bruce's "family" dying.
 
I'm not sure how you could not see it as an obvious winking joke about Batman's archenemies being a literal clown.

Yeah, but i thought he was just using the reference to out Clark.

I want Bruce Trump to happen now. Like yesterday.

Yeah, that's going to be most of the movie. They build a huge wall around the cities, then Superman just flies through it.

Seeing Doomsday basically killed my interest in seeing this.

He was never a good character, but in this he looks really terrible. Also... worst Luthor ever.

Justice League is actually about Aquaman and the Flash taking down Supes/Bats/WW for causing so much collateral damage.



Well, they're completely different conflicts though. Cap and Iron Man are friends (of sorts) who become enemies (of sorts); Superman and Batman's antagonism and distrust is a result of them not knowing each other. So the build-up for the former and the lack of build-up for the latter works for both.

I see it differently.

Mostly that I never bought Cap/Tony as actual friends given we never see them being friends. Banner + Stark? Friends. Cap + Thor? Friends. Cap + Stark? There's tension there. I mean Stark being all 'I was your friend too' is kinda sad, but really Tony? You think Cap's going to choose you over the best friend he ever had?

And I think Civil War will have to do some lifting there because we're TOLD Cap/Tony are friends, but we've never really seen it.

In contrast, this film is the origin of Bats/Supes as bros. So them fighting at first seems fitting. Once they realise the true essence of their bro-hood, they'll be the greatest team in cinematic history.

He's not really a character here from the looks of it. Just a glorified punching bag for some Trinity action.

And Wonder Woman will be the Mom that has to break it up. I LIKE IT!!

Why does a relationship need to develop over several movies? Plenty of movies establish great relationship with 2 protagonists, or protagonist and antagonist.

Naw man you need multiple movies to establish a relationship

how else are we going to feel the raw emotions of the fallout?
 
I'm still not feeling Lex here. He looks a little too comical, almost like a twitchy Joker type character but that's no what I think of when I think of Lex. Even though it's definitely an oddly edited trailer, I liked a lot of what I saw.

The Trailer would have been better without coop scenes,
now we know they work together at the end.
BTW saw the trailer without audio...so.

Yeah, that's the real kicker. All that build up with Batman vs Superman, and they show off them working together.

Edit: Also, batman with what looks like a gun. Not cool.

Bats and Superman are not friends and greatly differ in their methods. that's the basis of their conflict. it's not that hard, movies have been building conflict for a long time now. you don't need a decade's worth of movies to build a paper thin relationship like Tony and Cap have.

The Avengers had multiple movies worth of backstory, and script that meshed them together well... and actual heroism, like showing Captain Amercia defending civilians or Hawkeye helping people out of a bus.

Weve got exactly one movie of backstory for this, in which Superman violently fights kryptonians and destroys cities and a giant machine. Also, I guess he saves the world in the process.

I dunno, it feels like theyre trying to do the crossover thing without the benefit of mutliple tie in movies givng backstory. It might end badly.

the Kryptonians took the fight to Superman and I can already see your bias by purposefully twisting the narrative of MoS to suit your point. I'm not going to bother pointing out piece by piece how wrong you are except that you are.

That might not be Batman doing that... methinks it's Lex staging Batman going over the top in his vigilantism in order to draw out Bats and Superman.

it's Batman. as long as he doesn't kill someone he's ok.

I would say no, cause The Red Hood is a lesser known character. But hey, who knows... I've had a bunch of friends asking me who the monster was after seeing the trailer. lol.

the line was "I've had experience with people in clown customes, the Joker is a clown it's obvious he was talking about the Joker.

I'm not sure they should have shown the beast thing that gets them to fight together. All the dots are pretty easy to connect on the plot at this point.

Kinda wonder if they're going to Halo 5 it with only a very small segment of direct fighting despite all the hype of the competition and it being in the title.
 
Yeah what's up with this, did they film another movie with Lex already cause it doesn't seem like he shaves it in this movie.

My current completely unsubstantiated theory is that he's already bald and he's wearing a wig.

When he's wearing the wig he puts on his fake public persona like in the trailer and in private he's the normal bald ruthless Luthor.

This man might be on to something....

I mean, hey, Bruce retired didn't he? It'd be more dramatic if he came back specifically to stop Superman.

I bet Batman gets framed by Lex and Superman decides to bring him in to improve relations with the government.

Just hypothesizing, haven't read anything that leaked.
