Batman vs Superman: World's Finest Three-Year Wait
- Thread starter Marion Cobretti
- Start date

This would have been three months later.
And A2 was dated before Man of Steel even came out.
Full script rewrite by Chris Terrio (Goyer's was probably terrible as expected and Affleck sure didn't want part in that)
It's funny that for all the talking about this reboot being more comic book related, Gotham is still Chicago; it would be super funny if a chase scene involving the Batmobile goes through the same streets as in TDK.

According to The Atlas of the DC Universe, Gotham is New Jersey

but DC has both Chicago and DC. the JLI was stationed in NYC, and Hawkman Katar Hol made his home in Chicago as well. DC Earth is physically bigger so they can squeeze two extra cities with 8 million citizens.
Not to mention Star City (which has either been replaced or reworked into Seattle), Central City, Midway City, Coast City, and entire fake countries

I think a big reason is they had to negotiate contracts and cast for future roles (Aquaman, Flash, etc.) and wanted to make sure all of that was in place which required more time, especially if those characters have cameos in this film.
Oh I know that they coexist, its just those are the two cities that I think they mirror.

Which explains a hell of a lot.
Anyway, one person described Gotham and Metropolis as different parts of New York in different eras, and I think that's probably closest to the truth.
Just realized that... and damn that's a long wait. We're closer to Episode 7 releasing and we haven't even gotten a teaser for that yet (13 months away).
Avengers first trailer released 7 months before movie's release.

Looks like we will be getting a certain flashback

"Dad, Mom did you see the part where Arthur's dad totally rapes that dudes wife."
Batman Begins was a 2005 movie... Batman v. Superman 2016... so a glimpse of this in 11 years is no big deal. Hopefully only a glimpse though. I think this Batman would benefit from a return to some mystery.
So the current tally of scenes / locales that I'm aware of (let me know if I'm missing any):

- Metropolis v. Gotham Football
- Wonder Woman gets in car
Hmm. So if Bruce's parents died in 1981, and the movie takes place in 2015-2016 which is 34 to 35 years later, then Bruce would be 44-47 if they make him 10 to 12 years old at the time.Looks like we will be getting a certain flashback
That's good, in case people have forgotten what motivates Batman despite the scene having been done in every instance of Batman live-action in the last 25 years, the most recent being this year in the Gotham tv show.
However, I'm all good with them reestablishing the iconic scene, if only to juxtapose it with Clark's own loss.

Bruce's parents would still be alive if they would have gone to see Excalibur.

Seems a bit pointless showing it again. Everyone knows what happened to Bruce's parents.

Is any of this shot in Vegas?
The football scene was scrapped. It was also Pre-Terrio.
Gadot getting in a car I don't think was for the movie but I may be wrong there.

Oh man, the death of The Waynes is gonna have so much slow-mo they'll end up going back in time
That would be dope. Probably wont find music as fitting tho.
Also probably wont happen.

Holy shit, that hadn't even occurred to me, but that'd be fucking brilliant if they did a Watchmen styled opening (or even something closer to a traditional montage) of both heroes becoming who they are (Superman's basically being a re-cap of Man of Steel, Batman's being a quick run-through of all his basic story-beats) before the logo slams together on the screen and away we go.

I'm sure Snyder would find something. One thing most agree on with him is that he knows how to cut trailers and make music videos.

Whoa that sounds amazing. ill almost be disappointed if that isnt the case, but if not this I'm sure Snyder will do it in a cool way.
Some people online were speculating that the comic con trailer isn't even in the movie and was just made for comic con.
Maybe that's why they haven't shown it. I'm not sure what they're going to do trailer wise. The movie is still a year out and thats usually when you get a teaser trailer. If they're just going to show a teaser then they should just show the comic con trailer. Makes me think we're getting something longer.

Id be happy with the Comic Con trailer considering low long it is until the movie drops, but I read somewhere that it was meant to be Con exclusive with no plans to be released anywhere else. Im hoping theyve changed their minds.

If the Comic Con teaser was just a one time thing and not part of the movie, then it's best they don't release it. It's a bit early for trailers anyway.

The change from they seeing a movie instead of an opera is basicaly Snyder in a nutshell =P
Also ... would that be what, the 10th time Bruce parents get killed ?
That would be really cool.

What? They've been seeing the Mark of Zorro since... god, I don't even know. I think it was that way in BTAS, perhaps even further back
Seems like not everyone knows the Zorro tradition. This will be the first time in live action we're seeing the Zorro connection, which is a nice authentic comic book touch.
Die Fledermaus worked in the decompressed Batman Begins as a justification for his fear of bats and the guilt over his parents death. However, Zorro is a superior explanation in a compressed retelling because it halfway explains the Batman all by itself.

I doubt they will do another long origin with Batman. This will probably be a quick flashback or something. Maybe someone uses powers to get into his head.
Or something quick like this...
Pretty sure it was always Zorro in the comics. I would say that changing it to the opera in Begins is Nolan in a nutshell. lol.

Oh damn, I noticed a lot of trucks near there recently, had no idea. Now I have to swing by on my way home today.
Kinda perfect location for a crime scene that's supposed to be a neighborhood transitioning for the worse. That area has always been in the grey zone between bad neighborhood and OK.
