At least you can talk. Who are you?

You posted a Marvel thread, no one was going to die for real. You'd only come back in a few months anyway.

Hardly an inflammatory thread anyway (only the most diehards reacted). I'd be legit surprised if they banned you.
That's the one that hurt the most for me. It was a good film but it's not what I expected/wanted. I was hoping for something more along the lines of TWS where it was like 70% action/30% humor, ended up the other way around.
Dunno the part where the woman fell off the bridge was pretty gloomy. I'm sure the film will still be in the same style of avengers 1.
It's not unwarranted though, they underpay their actors. I'd call WB out on it too if that's what was happening. I enjoy Marvel's movies but I disagree with some of their moves, Antman's creative differences being a big one.

Exactly. You need a big community for this move. We don't have it yet.
We already had a community thread too that would've got going once these movies started coming out.

It will do eventually I guess. AoU thread got moved to community too.
Don't worry, it will meet its fate the next time it's bumped.
The tone and what RD Jr said about DC and the Dark Knight was much, much worse... some people really enjoy being hypocrites.

Lol wtf? Did I find it hard to follow or something? Is this quote just too out of context?
I didn't remember him actually saying Fuck DC comics, haha. In all fairness, Marvel pretty much resurrected his career at that point so I guess he was feeling mighty loyal.
Or maybe he remembers this incident all to well.

Because we keep bumping the thread without news, duh.
I think the mods have gotten tired of comic book nerds, comic book movies, and our intense bitching that takes over OT everyweek. If you notice they've also have moved other comic book threads to community as well.
HAHA... Success!!!

snyder did by not releasing a trailer
This is how people should view it!
Actually I'm convinced that Batman fanboys make Marvel fanboys look tame in comparison.
They're like on another level.

But marvel fanboys contain the subset of Black Panther fanboys, who are like Batman fanboys but backed up by canon.

I never understood the shit Batman got (prep time lol) when Black Panther is just as, and even more so, OP.
That was great. I kept hearing about how this location was a great moment so it's cool to finally read it, thanks.
Panther isn't held up as Marvel's only good character by both fans and even the company the same way Batman is for DC.
This is fucked up man, we are on Community!! oh noes!!!
Anyways I saw Returns on Netflix recently after 3 tries of wanting and change it to another movie after 15 minutes, what Singer did was so very wrong with this movie, I believe he tried his best but it was not the right movie to make at all, everything feels so corny IMO just like the originals movies but just this one released more recently, very bad move.
It has like 3 very awesome looking scenes though.

That works too.
I just finished watching Green Lantern: First Flight and enjoyed it a lot. I really like the science fantasy element of it. It really is its own universe. I wish DC would take more opportunities to explore it outside of the comics. I feel like this movie would have made the perfect jump off point for a series.
Reading more about the Green Lantern universe and hearing about the entire spectrum of rings gives it this sort of Star Wars-ian feel. I'm hoping they borrow some of these elements for his solo movie (which I don't expect anytime soon).

Officially, low, I think. None of the creators seem to be sentimental in that sense. It's not really a milestone that means anything... and WB runs a relatively tight marketing ship.
A year and a week prior to Man of Steel we got to see the costumes in-person under glass, but that was linked to the June licensing expo... where we're all but guaranteed to start seeing something because licensees have to prep product, ad campaigns, shelf-space, and those slow boats from China of merch.
Informally and "unofficially" (with anything "spontaneous" being vetted 100 times over by marketing first)... we might get something smallish dropped on social media?
Even though I really don't like Man of Steel and have given it two chances now, I am still totally excited about Dawn of Justice. Just seeing Batman in the same movie as Superman is an event in itself but also getting glimpses of Wonder Woman, The Flash and Aquaman is something else. What I'm most looking forward to though, is if the Metropolis destruction will have any consequence on Superman, or if they will just skimp over it silently. I really think Superman and his species were responsible for the destruction and need to pay for itself somehow. I also can't wait to see Lex Luthor and how the actor tackles the role, and how the movie itself finds itself in the whole DCCU.

I'd wager a good portion of Batfans don't read comics. The remaining Batfans don't care about BP because he doesn't have nearly the exposure or writing history behind him like Batman has.
My choice of Batman analog is Doom. Doom is insanely cool and one of the aspects of the marvel comic universe I'm envious of. He would only work in marvel though where everyone's standard powerset includes super genius.

Well BP is a king and has the resources of the most technologically advanced country in the world as well as magic, while Batman is just a rich guy who trained with ninjas a few times

My logical thought is as soon as 2 weeks after avengers, released online and paired with Mad Max.
Failing that, SDCC.
My gut feeling is if it isn't out by the end of this month we won't see it until Mad Max.
