The movie looks good but can someone explain to me the unusual amount of hype it's getting, the video on YouTube is about to hit 4.5million in only a day and half of being available, this thread is about to hit 2k posts in the same time frame.

We're all wondering how the movie is going to turn out, because the future of DC Comics films probably lie in this film's hands.

Also, Chris Nolan.
 
fixed. i'm sorry but i'm just a stickler for giving credit where credit is due. I always hate it when non-comics fans think it's the movies that push these new ideas. it's the comics that started it.

I never said anything about the comics not doing it. I'm talking more about public perception.
 
The first potentially good Superman film since the original is worthy of hype.

It's only a great trailer of the biggest superhero icon of all time. Yeah, it's a mystery.
 
Looks like you have your doubts Sculli.

Course I do. I still don't know why everybody is so balls to the wall hyped for Pacific Rim yet. Nothing about the story of that film has grabbed me yet, so I'm hoping the trailer can show me the way beyond 'OMG GIANT ROBUTS!'
 
Didn't see the first trailer, but this. was. godlike.

Especially the first half/origin part. Actually they should have just cut it after he explodes into space and it might have been one of the best trailers I've ever seen.

The teaser was sort of what you describe.

With the success of The Avengers and the Dark Knight series, the audience for this kind of movies is probably reaching critical mass.

Also the target audience for this movie is people that are very active online.

Nolan is involved.

Its Superman.

Its OMG Fighting Robots with a credible director (with a unique vision)



Plus... Evangelion the movie sure took it's time making it to the big screen



EDIT: Because it's Del Toro I don't expect it to look like your typical Transformers/Gi Joe/Battleship mech designs
 
No way do the miss the opportunity of having Bruce Wayne in this now, the buzz about a possible Batman cameo will be enough to get bums on seats. WB would be stupid to not do it this late in the game.

Bruce Wayne: "I am Superman". You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Kent, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet.
Clark Kent: Who the hell are you?
Bruce Wayne: Bruce Wayne of Wayne Enterprises
Clark Kent: Ah.
Bruce Wayne: I'm here to talk to you about the Justice League.

Fixed for prescience

I know your joking

but if that's how it starts then Batman is in the wrong hands


Justice League should be lucky if Batman decides to even look at the memo

Justice League should start off with Batman kidnapping Superman somehow and introducing him to Orion who explains the whole Darkseid thing. Then the only character left to incorporate is Wonder Woman. Orion can be the fourth member of the Justice League. You can add other characters in the sequels. You may need Lex Luthor in the film because that is someone that Batman can match up against physically.
 
Why does Batman have to be a total dick? He and Supes can't just bump into each other, have a short spat, and then fight some evil?

If anything, I'd love to see the two of them have more disagreements with the rest of the team. I like what the current JL comics are doing with Batman and Aquaman competing to be leader, for example.

Nolan's Batman is equivalent to a useless sack of smoldering shit next to Superman. He's not even intelligent, or a detective. He's a dumb as bricks brawler. I think Justice League is just going to be laughable. Maybe Lucius Fox will fashion him a robot suit. :P

The fact that Batman can't matchup to anyone physically is part of the appeal I have for him.

His wits are what allow him to stay toe to toe with everyone and it's somethign I felt the Nolan universe was lacking.

Batman didnt use half the intellect he has in other media when fighting Bane.

"Bane kept coming at me so... I threw a rock at em!!"

I think batman being a total dick is his way of testing Superman.

To see what kind of person this Alien is who holds the world in the palm of his hands



coming together through adversity and learning who the real person is (both of them) will show the special bond they share between the two of them (world's finest)

Batman is only really a dick when Superman questions Batman's motives with his "holier than thou" attitude

Isn't there going to be a new Batman? Nolan's Batman is supposed to be in his own separate universe. Actually it was going to be the same way for Man of Steel but they axed that idea for obvious reasons.

We're getting cryptic hints that Gordon-Levitt will cameo in this movie. Since this Superman is also grounded in reality(as much as friggin Superman can be), it will be interesting to see how they make Batman useful in a live action Justice League movie. :P

It's would be hilarious if, in a movie with an alien demi-god, an amazon, the king of atlantis, a dude with a magic ring, and a guy who is living kinetic energy, Batman still comes out looking the most unrealistic because of how normal he is.
 
I have no worries about Batman's 'plausability' conflicting with JL, I mean he was flying around in a friggin airship last movie. Just have him turn up in Justice League, have him growl a bit and its business as usual. Batmans real power is his smarts anyway.
 
Justice League opens with Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds) in space. He's being chased by aliens, he's putting up a fight, and manages to use his last ounce of will to defeat them. He's badly injured. He crash lands in Gotham, right by Batman. "Darkseid is coming..." is all he is able to muster before breathing his last breath. The ring floats off to find a worthy replacement. Batman grabs it. "Not the Green Lantern they deserve..." he slips the ring on his finger, "but the Green Lantern they need!"

Okay maybe not.

Not really cryptic. And they were shot down. Now they could still include Gordon Levitt and go with the Blake = Batman angle but they would be setting themselves up for failure. The whole dynamic between Clark and Bruce would be lost and you would think the general audience would be far more receptive to the Bruce Wayne Batman than someone who didn't even exist in the comics. I am pretty confident those rumors are just false.

If anything of that rumor is true its the idea of an end scene, maybe after the credits to introdue the Justice League.

And even then a scene like that would mean they shot it well after production wrapped up for MoS. Lets not forget this movie has been done for a while was delayed to summer 2013 to avoid competition with the Hobbit (also a WB release). So it was shot before Avengers and if they are taking their cue from Avengers to hurry up a JL movie, it would mean they shoot something now to add onto this movie.

Better yet, before Batman can take the green ring, a yellow ring smashes it. The rest of the movie is Batman working as a double agent in the Sinestro Corps, betraying them in the end to join the JLA.
