Batman vs Superman: World's Finest Three-Year Wait

so in that short interview Henry Cavill says it'll be a historic moment because of having Superman and Batman together...yet many sites and youtubers took what he said (was a carefully phrased comment too) and changed it and say "Cavill says BvS will be the best movie of all time!" when he didn't said that at all, and now we have wars on twitter over this between almost everyone over a something Cavill didn't said.
I know they are doing this for clicks but it's just annoying, especially how those sites now just post rumors and fake stuff about DC upcoming films.

Nevermind because BvS will be the the best movie of all time anyway !
Because getting Batman "right" can mean acouple dozen different things.
It could still be the best movie of all time, though. OF ALL TIME THOUGH!
Yep.
There IS no right Batman.
He's been a goof, a charmer, a broken fighter, a romantic, a sadist, a tortured soul, a caring father and brother, a thief, a paranoid psychopath, a beacon of hope, a pirate, a cowboy. He's fought New Gods and old criminals. He's fought his Rogues viciously and also tried helping them be rehabilitated. He's disowned his first-born son and in other continuities fought through Hell itself to save him from danger.
Batman is Batman. But who Batman is is a variable.
uh, he says it's cinematic history, not the best movie of all time.

Amazing post :')
But has he not always been the smart detective irrespective of the other differences?
No. In fact there's a lot of comIcs where he's legitimately poor at detective work.
The way DC works is that each Batman comic-book shows a different side of the character currently. Batman and Robin is the paternal side, Batman is the general blockbuster 'Batman is awesome and fails a lot but prep time' side, Detective Comics is procedural based so leans on his detective roots, Dark KnIght is batshit insane and sporadically amazing, Eternal is a love-letter to the Batman family throughout the years, and Teen Titans is poking fun at the idea that Tim Drake could ever be Batman.

Still have minor hopes we'll get the comic-con tease for the Super Bowl.
And that's why he's the best
That's been several other heroes too though: Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Iron Man, Spider-Man, etc. It's not exclusive to Bats.
Oh so grainy
That would be smart, amazing, and sexy. Zero chance of happening.
And shot at that magic angle too
I wouldn't do it for the Super Bowl since so expensive, but maybe if dropped around the same time

Hype needs to get started.
While true, 14 months is a long-time to sustain it.
Granted, working for em is that Suicide Squad will begin to get in on the cycle during the middle of this year
Not the first time we've seen that version of Batman pictured. At comic con when they showed off Wonder Woman for the first time the picture they displayed of Batman was him next to the batmobile standing like this with his head up right looking forward. It was ignored though by sites so they could keep using the "sad batman" picture and keep pushing that angle.

I don't know, he still looks kind of sad there.
Well I mean, his parents are dead.

You'd look sad too in that lighting
with dead parents.

It's the sad batman pic all they did was rotate the picture so his head would be upright, look at how fat he is.
In case you're not joking, that's not the sad Batman pic. That was shot at a slightly different angle. Affleck's chin is more pronounced in this one. Less of the bat symbol is in view.

IMO I felt Batman in the TImmverse came close
Throughout his long run, over B:TAS to cameos in S:TAS to Justice League and even Batman Beyond, he has played several of these different "types" (although not as extreme as these examples).
You would generally see the [toned down] lawful side in TAS , especially in the beginning when he was trying to save his newly formed rogues gallery members such as Catwoman and Two Face. Usually this side would come out thru Bruce more than Bats.
You would see the "Chaotic" (or kid version chaotic) side more when he was teaming with other characters since you were usually seeing Batman's methods from the other character's perspective. To contrast Batman from the rest of the Justice League, more often than not, Batman would be playing the role of bad cop to show playing by the book isn't going to help them save the world in whatever world threatening event that was taking place that episode.
BTAS is the perfect Batman that has been put on screen thus far.
He's the Vigilante, the detective, the hero (that we need), and the quack job we all deserve.
EDIT: We got this Batman
...but we also got this Batman

Fight choreographer talked about the movie a bit. Nothing major but, hey, it's something. I'm sure people will get a kick out of him respectfully criticizing the choreography in the Nolan films

I wonder if they were able to keep a lot of the movie under wraps because it's filming inside of an actual studio rather than outside?
that would explain lack of Batman shots.

There was that rumor that anyone who had a phone on set was instantly fired.
Damn, never really thought about Nolan's Batman films like that. I mean they are my favourite comic book movies of all time, but he's right, Nolan projected Batman as a strategic genius and was always one step ahead... but the fight scenes, especially with Bane did not match the rest of the films quality.
Looking forward to martial arts Batman, hyped!!

Wouldn't surprise me. And if the majority of Batman's stuff was shot in a studio, it leads me to believe that Snyder is going for a more stylized Gotham City, one that can't be found in the real world. I'm pretty excited to see how it looks.

Supposedly, this is a shirt worn by Batman v Superman film crew members:
Oh man. If it's real, that is so damn cool. Love that design!

What makes you think that? The detail on the Batsuit is rather convincing...
Supposedly, this is a shirt worn by Batman v Superman film crew members:
and the teasing keeps on hitting
The only "off" detail is Superman's hair. We know that's not the style he wears in BvS.

That's definitely the MOS \S/ symbol, so it it could be real.

Maybe it's based on concept art or maybe it's based on actual footage and his hair is messed up from fighting? Obviously not the capes, which are fully aping Miller.
