I'd take the cycle over brand power/spidey vs supes anytime.
Man of Steel was awesome( I put it up these with TDK, BB and Watchmen) Lois was good and not just a useless love interest, doing her job and helping big time. and I liked the change on Jonathan Kent death in MoS. He knew that human are not ready for aliens and he'll rather die than expose his son to the world like that, for me it was way better than random heart attack.
Really need to watch the movie again. it's pretty awesome.

"he's kinda hot"
I wonder if they'll turn her into Star Sapphire (she is in BvS so it's possible or make her transform into Star Sapphire to be the villain for the GL film).

She's not Carol, she's Carrie

We might be jumping the gun here. Lets have her be confirmed to be that Ferris before we talk about any Star Sapphire connection.
Though that actress is really cute when she's not in full military regalia. Wouldn't mind if she was made that Carol Ferris.

I took the Ferris thing as an easter egg rather than a firm link into Green Lantern.
MoS was a weak launchpad for the universe. I think they were a little reluctant to be heavy handed with teasing/references after Green Lantern. It's amazing how little we know of BvS, after all of suicide squad's casting announcements I'm expecting like a million easter eggs in BvS.
Would be so happy if they had some sort of daily planet scene with a 24/7 news cycle that talks about a record thunderstorm in central city. Bonus points if they have an excavation in Khandaq. Post credits scene show a certain bald scientist excavating Khem Adam. More likely I think they'll show Abin Sur's ship crashing. I'm confident Gl and Flash's origins will be mentioned. Cyborg probably saved for Justice League.

I remember when that quote dropped. People were ready to burn Nolan at the stake.

I love it. I hope WB follows this mantra and doesn't do it lol
post credits scenes always make films feel like cogs in a machine. The prior two hours already set up threads for the future, we don't need a stinger after the credits

I'm conflicted about stingers. I always like to be teased more, but they are kinda old hat at this point.

Except he wasn't even talking about post credit scenes but telling Synder not to chase after other movies. He was misquoted and had the original article edit in a new footnote.
Of course, don't tell the internet that cause that gets in the way of the nerd rage.
Edit: Beaten.

That sounds more like it.
will you guys be ok if DC/WB changed Wonder Woman outfit to the epic post convergence suit after Batman vs Superman( for Justice League)?
I noticed many rush to attack Nolan nowadays (even in this thread). sure TDKR wasn't good but TDK is still the best super hero movie ever made and Nolan is still a great director.
anyway the way Nolan did the Joker tease in Batman Begins (before the end credit) is what WB directors should copy if they wanted to do these sort of stuff.

Note the billing order on a poster is not necessarily indicative of story focus or screen time alone, but also
"Principal characters in the film and have the most screen time. However, well-known actors may be given top billing for publicity or contractual purposes..."
Affleck is obviously senior and more of a celebrity than Cavill, however, before people flip out and worry this is another Batman film, note that all the billed supporting cast members are Superman one's except Irons and Gadot.
Goyer still gets a written by credit but comes after Terrio and gets a EP credit but comes after Geoff Johns.
In Batman, Nicholson got billing over Keaton.
Who's Gail Simone?

Why would Amy Adams be 3rd on that billing? I hope it's contractually and not based on screentime... her screentime should be about the same as Jeremy Irons.
A solid DC writer and female character advocate... she started with a blog criticizing DC and, to their credit, like Mardston before her, they hired her to write for DC which she had been doing until recently. You don't have to agree with everything she puts out there or even like it, but it's difficult to question her sincerity.
She's the most distinguished of the supporting cast, but it could be screentime as well. If you want to build a franchise, you have to have continuity, so it makes sense her screentime might eclipse Alfred's, in order to build connections between this film and MOS.
1)Not sure if kidding
2)They have stated before that this is very much a Man of Steel sequel so makes sense that his supporting cast would have a decent amount of screen time

Comics writer. Very good.
After Faora in MoS, I have absolutely no doubts about this.

Stuff like this is contractual.
Ehh...I like the costume and all, but I think it's a little too busy for a film and the one they have now is fine, give or take a few changes.
Gail be knowing. I don't think she'd share if it wasn't someone she really trusts to have a good eye for these things. Interested to see how WW turns out.

God I want her back somehow, she is one of my favorite comic villains in a movie/tv series ever.
Ridiculous I know but I would have been fine with them straight recasting her as Wonder Woman or even saying Faora had a change of heart and becomes the DCCU's Wonder Woman.
Really wish they'd use her as a Wonder Woman villain.

It's probably in title only.
"Executive Producer" is often an honorary title at best.
Nah b. This is Wonder Woman's first movie. Use one of her villains or bust.
He has a lot of goodwill at WB and it can't hurt to have his name on there. That is probably the extent of it.

Wonder Woman would one-shot Faora if they ever face off. Over before they make it to the IHOP.
Great stuff. more hype.
hope Zack can make her as awesome as Faora.
?? She is playing Lois Lane, an iconic DC charachter and got a very important main role in MoS.
well if it's just upgrades (like the MoS to BvS Superman suit) I'd like her outfit evolve to the one from the January WW and Justice League issues (the warrior one by David Finch)
I don't mind if they give her good screentime, but ahead of Lex Luthor? This is more a setup to JL than a Superman movie is it not? I would rather they work at establishing his character dynamic with Superman than waste it on Clark and Loius. (for the same reason I liked Marvel avoiding including Jane Foster and Pepper Potts in the Avengers movie but gave them appropriate screentime in the standalones)

Not really. It means they put money into it.
It means A LOT of different things from what I've gathered.
Depends on the context, too. In television, an executive producer could very well be the showrunner.

That's how I'm looking at it. At least it isn't like Age of Ultron where RDJ's name is before the damn title.

Still vaguely annoyed that AoU is shaping up into another "Iron Man & His Amazing Friends" movie like Avengers 1.

Really hoping there's some huge marvel vs dc fan at WB that just jumps the gun and leaks the trailer 
. So we're a little under a month from mad max, it's going to be here anyday now. Kind of want to make a hype thread for people's favorite portrayals of DC characters in comics, movies, animations or what have you but that would fall fast in OT.
