There are better shots and he does evolve, once in motion he's fine, but even then he still lumbers around like a giant LOTR orc.

Neh....they even kept in the whole slide to the camera scene. I really was hoping that didn't make it into the final edit.

Lol that still is TRASH
It looks even worse in motion btw, I didn't even know that was Flash until someone pointed it out to me in here

He loooks like he comes from Wrath of the Titans.
That's like the shittiest screencap one could possibly muster. I'm not saying he'll look leagues better (see what I did there?) with a better shot but posting a terrible screenshot to a group of people who will tear it apart doesn't scream "fair" to me.
He's done that:
Wayne Enterprises
Thomas and Martha Wayne Foundation
Batman Incorporated
Except there's another shot of him out of costume (and present day) and he pretty much looks like Ezra Miller walked on set unshaven with long hair and just shot a scene.
Essentially this.
A hair breaths away? No, He's nothing like his villains. Outside of Miller's portrayal and Flashpoint, almost nothing else has Batman portrayed like some loose cannon hurting innocent people for the hell of it.
It really saddens me that we aren't seeing this Batman onscreen. I'm fine with a more dour broken interpretation but without even a loose attachment to his core principles, I'm not sure I will even recognize him.

It's boggles the mind how poorly the DC film universe is being managed right now. I didnt need spoilers to know that this movie was going to be bad, but wow, this sounds not just bad, it sounds depressing. Yes there are versions of batman mythology that are hyper violent, but he's also still a brilliant detective. Sounds like the version we got is dull witted and fueled by vengeance and closer to punisher thematically. Superman is Jesus is literally every single superman movie they've made so I wasn't expecting much there. Whatever.
Snyder assumes that he's doing the fans service by giving us edgier hyper violent characters. What he's forgetting is that over the past 10 years, comic book movies became something more than mean spirited and nasty wish fulfillment fantasies for ostracized teenagers. They became thematically deeper (i.e., the Nolan trilogy) or enjoyable romps (i.e. the entire marvel film universe).
Comic movies have crawled out of the quagmire of adolescent revenge fantasies, and now Snyder is dragging them back to that nastiness.
But Snyder doesn't understand any of that. He's too shallow. Purely a visual director. All he know how to do is plagiarize images and basic themes from other acclaimed sources (i.e. Watchmen or Millers the dark knight returns) and slap his hyper violent anime action on top of it. It's really sad to see the DC universe being mishandled like this on film, especially since the TV iterations of DC characters are so much fun to watch right now.
I'm not saying that you're a bad person if you enjoy this movie, but you're definitely in the "angry & alienated" demographic that supports the Donald Trump campaign. Am I taking this too seriously? Probably. It just saddens me that Hollywood is treating cherished DC characters the same way as the Transformers has been.
Sony has rebooted the Spidey character 19 different times in the past 10 years, so hopefully the execs at Warners can wake up and have the balls to do the same. It's not necessarily the actors that need to be canned, it's the writer/director team.

You're awful.
You're literally the worst thing I have read in this read so far. So congratz I guess. Just go away.
Come on, man. At the end of the day it's just a movie and whether or not people like it.

I read some earlier previews that Batman does a lot of detective work in this. Not sure where they got that from cause Batman doesn't really do shit for Detective work. Not that I was expecting much of it because it'd feel kind of weird in a Batman v Superman movie, but that now seems like a weird thing I saw people saying early on.
Lmao. I don't agree with that dude at all. That said, a couple of reviews have hit on some bullshit macho-power fantasy undertones and problematic themes w/r/t women. To be supremely clear - I think that is a far cry from shitting on anyone who might happen to enjoy it.

Jesus. Now if you like the movie you're a Donald Trump supporter.
This is pretty much what I was afraid of when the reviews were coming in.

He does say he's probably taking it a little serious
I assume he's being a little bit silly with his post.

Look, someone had to say it. Movies are often a good representation of our social zeitgeist. This one doesn't speak well of us.
...What effect is this even supposed to be?

If you're talking about the end of the fight, I have multiple times, and I think it works really well.

This movie is getting torn apart. lol
Man, the guy playing Joker sounds awful.
Only at first, he does a good job in the film.

So, I'm asking this because your comment was a little ambiguously worded, but... um, have you seen it? This bit is throwing me off:
If you didn't see it, not only did it not have to be said, it's frankly more than slightly ridiculous.

This thread seems like about 10 people who have actually seen it to mostly middling reviews and then a lot more people having not seen it and freaking out and questioning what they're hearing.
It seems like that, because it is.

Hahaha That's it. Done with the OT for today. Back to the SFV thread I go.
