Who's Louis? Is he the Daily Planet janitor?
I don't doubt Snyder didn't cut this, but confirmation would be good.
They really just should've let him do the trailer.

CGI cape for flying was a good decision. Looked so majestic.

Damn that was a good movie. Literally showed it all in the trailer @_@.
I liked it, even hyper Lex. I don't like the doomsday and wonderwoman design though, yuck. I kinda guessed they would work together in the end so that part didn't really bother me.
Randon thought: If superman knows who batman is, why does he still disguise his voice when in costume?

why even adapt that story if you are going to take out such a huge part of it
at that point just do something original

Bruce probably knows. They tend to figure out eachother's identity in the comics and cartoons

It's going to be the worst super hero movie since the older Captain America movie.... or most recently as bad as Man of Steel or Age of Ultron :-/
Nah. He's a throwaway character for when you need a battle... but want the focus on something else. Like Batman and Superman conflict and them eventually coming together.
Doomsday was made for this role.
wtf? Isn't that how Superman/Clark is in every single piece of media ever?
The villain is the least important part of that arc. Any character that's a force of nature-type villain works for it and Superman gets one of those every couple of years.
Batman usually figures it out pretty quickly. Lex is into the idea that someone like Superman would be Superman 24/7 and often refuses to see it nay other way and he wouldn't want to admit that he was fooled by the disguise anyway.

I felt like I watched the entire plot in both trailers. I personally would of kept a bit of mystery. Bravo WB for basically ruining your own movie 6 months away.

Yep. Someone just fixed the trailer, added some mysteries, teased at things (and actually made it more hype!):

Shame on you, WB for not doing the sane thing.
He really, REALLY wasn't. He was invented for the story. Had no characterization. Showed up. Beat a bunch of heroes. Fought Superman. Double K.O.
That's it.
Literally anyone in Superman's weight class can show up and do that.
The only reason that it was acceptable back then was because the idea of Superman dying was so shocking.
That's not nearly enough to hang a film on.
I say let him finally become the symbol of hope and good he is meant to be in his next solo film. Have him then go out stopping Darkseid in Justice League. Follow it up with a Reign of the Supermen film. Open that film with the funeral and end it with him back.
Less than 6 months actually, it's releasing in the final week of march.

Wonder if they'll have Wonder Woman do the spin transformation or just her taking off her clothes to reveal her outfit.

Movie looks beyond overstuffed.
Isn't Doomsday the kind of character/threat that ought to have an entire film dedicated to him? Serious question.
Is tacking him on at the end of the Bat/Supes conflict not a waste?

If you were to go with the full death of superman story then yeah. It's kind of his only real impact and relevance.
Honestly the treatment here might as well just be a homage.

DC really wants that team up money. I don't understand why they didn't go for the slow burn, this should have just been a Man of Steel sequel.

It changes the story if it's anyone else. Especially Darkseid. Darkseid beating the shit out of Superman until he dies also goes completely against his character.
Or they could just have him locks up in a Wayne/Themyscira's vault. When it's time to do that storyline, have him somehow managed to smash through it.
Been watching the fixed trailer couple of times, I'm really liking more on Batfleck part and how all the characters surrounding him look.
I feel like Batman part of the story will be the highlight of this movie.
No, it should have been a Batman film with Superman and Wonder Woman cameos to setup the conflict, then the full blast confrontation/team up in the following movie.
Now in a single film they will:
- Explain Batman's origins, again.
- Tie it all up to Man of Steel's events, people's discomfort about Superman's presence.
- Introduce Wonder Woman
- Introduce Lex Luthor
- Create a conflict between Bats and Supes
- Somehow find the time to let them resolve all that
- Then introduce Doomsday.
- Then, somehow, have them save the day.
I don't know. Not that optimistic at the moment.

It's much better than Bale's
Who said they are explaining Batman's origins? There's no indication of that being the case at all.
They don't have 7 years time to make 7 mediocre movies building up to nothing

Maybe Bale's TDK/R voice.
Bale was the perfect Bats in Begins.
I'm still not seeing the appeal of Affleck as Batman. You guys still seem to be focusing on how he looks in still and on screen. The few words as Bruce/Bats so far have done nothing to pique my interest.

Really, REALLY makes me wish the rumor that they'd split this into two films was true.
says who?

Explaining his origins is not the same as showing his parents dying in a flash back scene. (they did the same in MoS with a lot of flashback scenes)

No, definitely not. Doomsday is the throwaway punching bag villain.
Everything from casting Affleck as Batman to shoving Wonder Woman and potentially Aquaman into the mix and showcasing Doomsday in the trailers suggests that Warner Bros really really wants BvS to do Avengers-level money.
I don't understand these type of complaints. Many films have set up plenty of elements and done it competently. Most recently GotG easily accomplished it and it was great. They introduced 4 major characters, an entire galaxy and a villainous crew. This isn't as difficult as many try to make it sound.

Nah, Doomsday is a throwaway villain. Not interesting at all. Makes sense they use him here to unite the three, you don't need any real buildup.
I think his line "that sonuvabitch brought the war to us" sounds nice and mean and gravely. Affleck putting some nice inflection in that delivery.
Burton's Batman did the same exact thing in a flashback and the movie was not an origin story.
That line is interesting from Bruce. Considering many point to his existence bringing the crazies to Gotham.
Jesus this recut of the trailer is so much better.

WB needs to get their money back from whoever cut the one they put out. This one feels so much better.

No doomsday is better suited to this. I dont think he would work well with a whole movie dedicated to him. No point

GotG are built around a team, like Power Rangers. There's the Leader, the Big Guy, Smart Guy, etc.. You are never going to see a movie with just the squirrel or the Green Chick, they need each other work.
Conversely, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are all characters that are supposed to be the stars of their own adventures. They each have their own sidekicks, allies, enemies, themes. They each are supposed to be main characters and making them team up is supposed to be a monuments occasion.
ASM2 also tried to do the same things you mentined and failed utterly. A good writer (or a team of good writers) can maybe do all that in one movie. Average or poor writers (like most in the MCU) need several films. Goyer is not a good writer. Like at all.
Don't worry, Marvel deflates your expectation once the movie actually starts.
Your point about main characters is irrelevant. The issue is if you can introduce a plethora of characters in one film and have it be coherent.
Wow, Snyder fucked up
