Dunno why people are putting such a high premium on their presumed reaction to Doomsday's introduction in the film.

"They put Doomsday in the trailer!"
"So?"
"So it could have been a surprise!"
"Would you really have been surprised?"
"Yes!"
"No you wouldn't. The film is going to make it super-fucking-clear long before it happens that Doomsday is coming."
"But now I'm not surprised at all"
"You were never going to be surprised. This isn't a surprise. It's not meant to be."

I'm pretty pissed that they have shown Batman and Superman fighting in the trailers.

Imagine the surprise to the audience during the movie.

At this point it doesn't really seem like the problem is the lack of surprise. People seem to just not like seeing it at all before the movie. I sort of get it in regards to something heavy like the lineup shot for JL, but the reveal of Doomsday? No.

Then don't fucking watch trailers

It's that simple lol

But then what would they complain about?

 

[The Artisan]

... What? Film is a visual medium. Of course people will talk about how a film looks.

I said carry on, my friend. We don't need to go down this road anymore.

 

[Replicant]

I don't expect humiliation. Superman don't roll like that. The moment he sees Batman struggle, he'll offer him a hand up. Even if the fight gets nasty. Superman doesn't kick people when they're down. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if Superman ends up tanking some damage for Batman that otherwise would've killed him while they're still fighting.

This is why I don't buy the premise. Not only their strength differs, Superman is not the type to put 100% effort on someone who's clearly not on his power level. To me it's like professional wrestler letting some amateur teen beat him up a bit just because said teen has anger issues.

 

[Discotheque]

Haha batmans backing up like he's one of those "oh shit. It was a prank bro. It's a prank" guys

Supes never goes 100% in his fights with Batman. He almost never goes 100% in any fight. That's like the whole reason he and Bats can have fights. And it's more akin to a guerrilla force talking on a superior heavily-armed enemy. The guerrilla force relies on decoys and deception and hit-&-run strikes to do damage; they never attack directly

 

[Kabuki Waq]

still not buying Wonderwoman. her and Luther seem to be awfully miscast.

 

[Boke1879]

still not buying Wonderwoman. her and Luther seem to be awfully miscast.

Everything heard so far says Gadot absolutely nails it. I don't see how she's miscast visually she's WW to me. Now I just have to see the movie, but again a lot of what we've heard about her is super positive.

 

[Timu]

Wait, who didn't get a little misty eyed in TDKR when Alfred was crying at the grave site?

I came close to doing that actually when I 1st saw it.

The film has had a super special and secret screening here in Pakistan, with a select few people invited. Check this spoiler-free review out. The wait was already killing me.

When did they make it clear Doomsday is coming? Honest question.

Cliff Notes of this Review.

-They Said the Movie was absolutely amazing.
-They also loved Man of Steel
-They do not much care for the MCU


Take that for what you will.

 

[Poodlestrike]

He's saying that they're going to make it clear in the movie well in advance of when he actually appears.

 

[ArtHands]

Oh, now i get it. So doomsday is an intended spoiler?

Weird that's the only time we see doomsday then.

 

[ReiGun]

Superman: Heard you were talking shit.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I'm curious, what comic book films would you rank above TDK in the visuals department?

As far as Batman goes, Batman Returns

 

[Discotheque]

As far as Batman goes, Batman Returns

That has the best production design of any superhero movie really but I think on a film perspective (the way its shot) the dark knight might be the best looking one to me.

Pfister did some good stuff with that. Also watchmen and superman Returns belongs in that discussion.

Fuck man Burton's sets and costumes were on point in the 90s. Would have really liked to see his superman movie out of curiosity

 

[beyond_death]

To this day I still wish that Burton had gone a done a Batman 3.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Yeah, I agree.

lol!

 

[Blader]

Maybe Doomsday is an intended spoiler...or more than likely, the marketing team decided to spoil some late-game shit like they always do.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Because people threw a hissy fit, lol.

It was kind of a nonsensical post. You'll have to forgive everyone's confusion, heh.

That moment when Batman fans realise the truth.
Take a marker and draw four equal sides with four equal angles, that's what batman is - a square mark.

 

[Mariolee]

Wow, I guess I had no idea that people had reactions like that to these movies. I love comic book movies but I never imagined being emotional like that. I am super curious what happens in the movie that people would tear up at.

I cry every week watching The Flash, no lie.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

The flash had me tearing up two times last season.
Mostly the father/son stuff.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Then don't fucking watch trailers

Dude.

Chill the fuck out.

Grant Gustin is an amazing actor. Dude cries and I'm bawling along right beside him.

Batman fans realize the truth though. Batman is weaker than Superman and would likely lose... but that does not make Batman any less cooler and not the greatest superhero of all time

 

[Blablurn]

I'm ready for this movie!!! Soooo ready.

 

[KalBalboa]

Yeah, The Flash does it to me with Barry/Joe every other episode, it seems.

 

[obin_gam]

I cry every week watching The Flash, no lie.

Are you Kevin Smith?

 

[yankeehater]

I cry every week watching The Flash, no lie.

Is it one specific thing every week, or is it a different trigger each week?

Edit I see that you answered it. I haven't seen the flash yet but that is really interesting to me.

Batman always loses against Superman. The fun part is seeing what he does to survive

yeah of course. my bad, fellow gaffers =] didn't mean to stir a confusion

My ticket is bought for the 23rd of march but im still not sure if I will go or just refund the ticket....

The leaked reviews so far all says the same thing....

If you loved man of steel you will love this....

Go. There's a new writer and Gal, Ben, and Jessie are supposed to be great.

Visually? I'd say Gadot is not muscular enough for the role. I've always imagined WW as a tall, muscular & toned woman. You know, an Amazonian warrior....someone physically intimidating. As far as acting ability goes, she'll do fine for a supporting cast member.

He's saying that they're going to make it clear in the movie well in advance of when he actually appears.

Which is silly because that statement doesn't even address the other poster's point of the trailer spoiling Doomsday being in the movie. I haven't been following a gas too closely and I didn't know Doomsday would be in it.

I'm in the same boat, though I haven't purchased a ticket yet. Fortunately my local theater with seating selection recently opened up two more showings on Thursday which are still virtually empty so I think I have time to wait on official reviews before buying a ticket.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Personally I absolutely loved Man of Steel. Can't wait to see this. Everything I'm reading sounds incredibly positive.

 

[TruHero]

And?

 

[keltickennedy]

Yeah. I really liked the Man of Steel also. Just hated what they chose to do with Papa Kent.

 

[NumberTwo]

I thought MoS was middling overall but still bought advance tickets for next Friday. I hope Terrio & Batfleck don't let me down and even though I have my reservations with Snyder, I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
