Hmm, well the trailer looks good...

Spoiler

but so did Man of Steel's

And I am not sure if I am seeing things, but BvS looks much more colorful. Its nice to see they might be taking the criticisms of Man of Steel and using them to improve this.

BUT

I still have this burning feeling this movie is going to be cluttered. The fact that Wonder Woman and Aquaman are both in this (even though they both look great) just reminds me of the lessons we should have learned from Batman and Robin, that more characters =/= better

 

[Bracewell]

I mean WB seems to agree with you for some reason, the worst part is they forgot to do the last part.

Like we have Lex Luthor trying to get Superman and Batman to fight while Wonder Woman and who knows how many Superman and Batman villains run around and do silly shit with elseworlds alt reality flashbacks... And they're going for a serious "no jokes" tone? Whaaaaaat?

DC has a clear directive, with regards to the films, that their marquee characters (Bats, Wonder Woman, Supes) are never to be referred to as "superheroes".

They want to distance themselves from Marvel, and their own comic book roots, as much as possible. The movies are meant to be "mature" (grave and serious and moody), directly as a response to Marvel's relatively "childish" (bright and cheery) tone with their properties. Unless this approach to building the DC Universe fails (or someone at DC changes their minds), expect every main character to be a variation of Batman.

 

[The Elite]

Didn't like the Suicide Squad trailer that much but this looks fantastic.

 

[shira]

The dialogue is awful.

BatGAF I'm returning my coat

It's way more colorful than MoS.

Like just compare the Metropolis destruction scene in this compared to the same scene in Man of Steel (with the buildings falling).

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'll never understand why it's always gotta be Superman who will go bad. Damn you Frank Miller.

Because power has the possibility to corrupt, and Superman has more of it than anyone. If Batman became evil Superman could just squash him like a bug.

 

[ironcreed]

I think that was Gordon.

No, I am pretty sure Jeremy Irons is playing Alfred.

 

[JackBauer24]

They should have shown some more of the movie.

 

[shinobi602]

So bad...looks like two things.
1) a child smashing his toys together and play acting a story they made up.
2) wonder woman, joker notes remind me of some batman fan film from a few years ago where there are a bunch of character cameos for no reason.

I dont read other peoples opinions because when something new like this releases their nerd hard ons are unrealistically huge but i cant imagine anyone watching this and thinking it looks good, unless you are like 9 years old.

What a ridiculous post lol. No point in taking you seriously.

 

[Man]

Very hot.

 

[dmshaposv]

How much crow are the haters eating?

Gal Gadot? Fantastic

Affleck? BORN to Play Batman

MoS destruction? Addressed

Jared Leto? Worthy sucessor to ledger

Jesse Eisenberg? A new more insightful look at Lex Luthor

Have you actually seen the film?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Seems weird that Batman apparently branded someone

 

[WinFonda]

Why do you want Lex to be some boring old bald man instead of a charismatic douchebag?

Who says I want him to be boring? I didn't know being bald made characters intrinsically boring or uncharasmatic. How about someone who is going to act and deliver lines in a way that won't be unintentionally cringeworthy. Eisenberg isn't being charismatic, he's being pubescent.

 

[FTF]

Seems weird that Batman apparently branded someone

maybe Batman wasn't the one who did that?

 

[TheRealTalker]

oh snap the last few parts

 

[WadiumArcadium]

What a ridiculous post lol. No point in taking you seriously.

It's a recurring trend I've noticed. Best to just ignore.

 

[kurahador]

Oh yeah, almost forgot about that. That bit was really pushing it.

 

[Dysun]

I was really wrong about Affleck, he looks great. Also Gal Gadot, but I didn't dislike her casting anywhere near as much as I did Affleck initially. I'll blame my Daredevil scars

 

[3N16MA]

This Batman would beat down Nolan's Bane, brand him, and then throw him off a roof top.

 

[liliththepale]

The only thing pubescent is your incessant, premature ire!

 

[dh4niel]

I wasn't too impressed. Wonder Woman looked great though.

 

[Alienous]

Snyder you glorious bastard

It doesn't have quite the same impact without the full silhouette.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Someone want to tell me what Gadot did that was so impressive besides excessive Kubrick glare

 

[Savitar]

Seems weird that Batman apparently branded someone

It's a older more meaner Batman that doesn't put up with much like previous versions. Basically take all the dangling people over the sides of buildings, dropping them to break their legs and overall kicking their faces in and it's not surprising he'd leave a mark. He's done playing games as he got older and seen things happen.

 

[Lebron]

The dialogue is awful.

BatGAF I'm returning my coat

It's still better than the nonsense in TDKR though

 

[Maintenance]

Same here, she was the weakest part of the trailer alongside Lex to me.

 

[cackhyena]

She made us wonder what's knocking her around.

 

[Angelus Errare]

No, I am pretty sure Jeremy Irons is playing Alfred.

Really? That's weird, in movie it makes Alfred look like he's only like 10 years older than Bruce.

 

[The Cowboy]

So they are bringing in Kryptonite with this movie?, i thought it wasn't going to be put into the MoS verse?.

 

[Boke1879]

All I have to say is that WB really, really need this movie to knock it out of the park.

This movie is basically the launchpad for all their other movies. If it's not good then they seriously hurt the potential hype for their other movies.

Critically it needs to be good. The movie will make a shit ton of money regardless but it needs to be good and it needs to give the characters, WW, Aquaman enough for us to want to go see their movies as well.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Same here, she was the weakest part of the trailer alongside Lex to me.

How can she be the weakest part of the trailer when she has no dialogue and only a few seconds? Just curious.

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Hopefully this finally gets people off the Metropolis battle from MoS. Have a feeling this movie is going to change some people's perception on MoS now that we are seeing the bigger picture.

Agreed. It changed mine.

 

[dmshaposv]

The trailer didnt really excite or hype me as much as the suicide squad one did. At least you have something different going there.

Superman seems like he ll remain stoic and boring now that the emphasis is not developing his personality but rather that of bats. We REALLLY didnt need another origin/flashback thing for bats. Everyone and their grandma knows about bruce waynes tragedy. No comment on lex yet. Jeremy irons looks fitter and just a little older than bruce so i wonder how their dynamic works. Meh on wonder woman - nothing to say till we see more of her.

 

[Boke1879]

Someone want to tell me what Gadot did that was so impressive besides excessive Kubrick glare

I think she looks great in costume and I think she'll be able to command the scenes she's in.

 

[Penguin]

Read a recap article, and bought up a point, Ithink is true

Superman hasn't spoken yet in these trailers has he?

 

[Blunoise]

shit this looks so good. Straight from the comics

 

[hal9001]

Dat DC Universe selfie.

hmm…

 

[Dahbomb]

I think Clark Kent spoke when he was talking about Batman being a one man vigilante.

 

[dmshaposv]

Really? That's weird, in movie it makes Alfred look like he's only like 10 years older than Bruce.

This is what im interested to see. Alfred looks only slightly older than bruce. And irons is a lot mor fitter than old man caine. I wonder whats their dynamic now (a more badass alfred maybe?)

 

[kurahador]

You should see his post history.

 

[Maintenance]

Anything with Batman or Superman in that trailer looked cool / ok. The consequences of the destruction, the Red Son dystopia, etc. She was just meh, but I'll grant "the red capes are coming" the title of worst delivery in the trailer though.

 

[Messypandas]

Dat DC Universe selfie.

Of course Batman is taller than everyone.

 

[Currygan]

Someone want to tell me what Gadot did that was so impressive besides excessive Kubrick glare

people are too hyped for that, wait until the foaming has dried out

 

[IconGrist]

Clark did. He's the one talking about the Bat vigilante. But as Superman, no.

 

[DieH@rd]

Wow, truly amazing trailer.But then again, Snyder knows how to make them.


2016 is gonna be insane year for comic book fans.

 

[3N16MA]

Of course Batman is taller than everyone.

Affleck is a big dude.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Dat DC Universe selfie.

Ben's face lol.

 

[SimleuqiR]

Love how Batman rushes into the debris like he doesn't give a fuck. The look on his face when that tower is going down. So surreal.

All I can think of is 9/11.
I get a knot in my stomach when I see that scene.

 

[Messypandas]

Affleck is a big dude.

For you.
