The author Joe Kelly adapted his own comic for the animated movie. If you liked the comic, i'd wager you'd also like the movie. The bad things said about it more often than not refer to the character designs, which are a bit more cartoony than usual for the line.

It's a good time, IMO. There's some problems with it, but the final sequence is downright amazing.

Superman vs the elite was really good
Also, in regards to smart superman, I don't expect much on that front

'Smart Superman' in films essentially creates deus ex machinas out of thin air. He's not so smart as a latent reality warper who is an expert in shit which has never happened.

Truth of the Matter is Hal will just be Kirk minus the Alien Babe Fetish, that's Stewarts thing.

a lot of rumor about this film addressing the damage krypton did to earth so maybe he'll learn from the criticism the people give in the film. plus I think there's a statue of him in this movie so maybe the movie will kick off with him being a very public hero to metropolis.

It's probably gonna be Abin Sur and Sinestro, Senior partner and junior partner respectively, Sur dies, Hal gets the ring. Sinestro gets a promotion to senior Hal becomes the junior in the Partnership.

Ugh, that sucks.
I don't want a statue to Superman in Metropolis, unless it's the aftermath to The Death of Superman.

I swear, this movie is the tightest ever on its details. Not even a composer is going to say a word about his involvement.
The gag order is in full effect.

The trailer for this will be so dope. That is, if they decide to give us a full trailer rather than making is comic con exclusive, which makes no sense whatsoever.
Nah, the teaser trailer is coming out before SDCC probably

Maybe not an all-out genius, but they should portray Supes as an intelligent guy in a more subtle way like this:
Also, Supes was the first person to discover the location of the Batcave too (way before Bane did)
You're right though....the cartoons and movies rarely portray him as a thinker.
It's never seemed like a challenge to discover the location of the Batcave though. Just fuckin tail the Batmobile.

Sometimes being so tight with information can be detrimental in this day and age of instant gratification. If you aren't on fans lips often enough, your movie has a chance to be forgotten. Yes I know it's superman and batman but it still applies.

Yeah, I agree with this.
I brought it up BvS to some friends during a discussion about Age of Ultron and they all thought it had be quietly cancelled due to the lack of any real information or teasers since the leaked CC one.
I get that DC want to keep things quiet and only tease little things like a poster here or there, but they really need to kick this thing into gear already. Get teaser out by the Summer and then build the hype until release.
I agree and disagree.
I mean we're still over a year out from the film's release. You can just as easily burn people out from constant information
"Oh we've seen everything the movie has to offer"
I think it's getting to the point where they may need to jump start the hype cycle. Maybe not even a full teaser
But colored versions of Wonder Woman and Batman's costumes are a start
Unpopular opinion... but they should drop a proper teaser at SDCC and then drop a story trailer 3-4 months out...
I don't like Avengers style bombardment every day. I want every media drop to mean something.

who in their right mind would write off a movie featuring superman...and batman, its going to Megaton at least for the first 3 weeks i guess even sure things can fall short...but i wouldn't bet on this movie being one of them.
Suicide Squad might be a safer misfire bet or AntMan...Aquaman ...

The lack of information is frustrating for us that follow the movie everyday, but it won't be a problem at all. BvS is still a year away, and you know the marketing campaign is going to be massive. I think they're working on timing everything perfectly so that the hype peaks around release day next year with as little spoiled as possible for a film of this magnitude. Given how much they've been able to keep from us during filming and up to now, I think they can pull it off.
After all, this is Batman v Superman. This secrecy will work to its advantage at some point.
With how bad dark night rises was and how mediocre man of steel was. I think those are both great reasons to be meh about this movie. It's going to make money the first couple weeks but it has to be great to keep up the momentum. I hope it is but I will believe it when I see it even though i think Ben Affleck is a great choice for batman.
You guys are acting like there's going to be nothing but a screenshot of The Flash or something until the film releases. lol
The movie is still a year away. There's plenty of time to start the media blitz. If the Aquaman reveal taught us anything it's that WB can grab attention for the film with the smallest thing whenever they want. Chill. lol

I get that but write it off? like its going to be ...mystery men or something? It will be huge on hype for sure, reception i see your point.
I have actually warmed up to the film more once Terrio was brought in to fix whatever Goyer did.
You guys also forget that friggin Star Wars is releasing this December. Disney's marketing is going to overshadow everything this October and beyond. The smartest move would be to attach a (full) trailer in front of Star Wars, giving them 3.5 months of advertising space with zero competition. A teaser is likely to enter earlier than that, but the next few weeks is not the time - just wait for Comic Con, WB has always had a presence there.
Mind you Avatar had an "Avatar Day" where the trailer for the movie, the game, and the release of the books, made a splash. That was late August vs a December release.

It's only us rabid fans that follow the production everyday that get desperate and frustrated, the GA doesn't give a fuck. Snowball effect after SDCC. And I bet there's a teaser coming soon, probably attached to Mad Max.
That first teaser (which was meaty) came in December, 6 months out. They released that Iron Man helmet forming into Ultron further back than that, but yeah, what you said.
Now's not the time for panic.
That comes later.

Yeah, I can understand there might be a worry about burning people out, but I also feel they could at least set the wheels in motion outside of conventions.
The MoS teaser came out what felt like a year before the movie hit (the one where Supes is flying up and those cones form around him), they did a great job in building hype I thought.
Releasing the CC teaser would be a great start. Something to get people talking until a proper teaser hits much later in the year. Releasing colour posters of Batman and WW would also be nice.
I'm fairly certain that came out a little under a year before the film because was either attached or came out after The Dark Knight Rises.

Hey comicGAF, i'm a little late to the party but, what is this talk of Goyer out?
Super-late to the party
Condensed version
When Affleck was bought on as Batman, he decided to bring along his Argo writer, Chris Terriro, to punch up the script about.
Due to some injury, production of the film was pushed back. They went to town on the script. Goyer still gets credit for the framing of it, but seems like a new script from Chris, Zack and Ben.

I would like to hope that in part, his being kicked off the franchise not only had to do with the crap quality of Man of Steel, but also him calling people who were fans of Martian Manhunter's virgins who lived in their mom's basement.
What the fuck even?

That makes me a very excited guy. So glad to hear this. Unfortunately the tone still seems quite apparent. We will see I suppose.
Don't like the guy
But he was on a humor-based panel/podcast and went for a cheap joke. I don't think he intended for it to be taken seriously. It was all played for laughs. Good or bad
A full trailer at comic con, followed by a teaser for the general public around August will be fine. This film doesn't need a huge marketing push, people will see it no matter when the trailer comes. Superman and Batman are just too big.
And for me Goyer is okay. The Martian Manhunter thing was a joke that he made a mistake with. He has had hugely contributed to comic book movies.
Blade trilogy would never have happened without him. Did great work on tdk trilogy. And somehow is getting a freaking Sandman movie into production.
Sure he had bad moments with blade 3 and man of steel (liked the movie but dialogue had too many dick jokes) but in the end he has more wins than loses.
I believe he has a few hits left in him.

Goyer's mind for story is great, just don't let him wrote a single letter of dialogue.
Of course it does. I don't understand this reasoning that big blockbusters don't need a big marketing push. This is supposed to set up the entire DC cinematic universe. Like the next 8 DC movies are riding on this. Warner is going to everything they can to make sure it's a success and that includes an absolutely massive marketing campaign. You think Disney is just going to quietly release the next Star Wars without major marketing simply because it's Star Wars and people are familiar with it?

If that's the case they royally screwed up by picking Ben Affleck to be Batman.......
What I mean by that is that it doesn't need a trailer this far out. 6 months before release is fine. Of course there will be a big push, but condensing that push into 6 months rather than having the full year hype build up is fine. The film will be huge regardless.
Every image and footage of Affleck as Batman has looked great.

I gotta ask, why? He was great in Gone Girl, and he was great in Argo. He's in a very different place than he was way the hell back in his Daredevil days.
