Not to stir this whole pot again but I am surprised they didn't wig him for BVS while Affleck is wearing a wig. Chris Evans has had a wig for every Cap movie, no shame in it.

What little we've seen of Clark's hair is a fine length. Cavill could be a dead ringer for Bryne's Superman if they let it be. Never been into that tightly slicked look; not even in Alex Ross' art.
His Darkseid looks amazing, makes MCU Thanos look like a saturday cartoon reject.

Obviously it's to show how he is just one of us!
No but seriously, I'm sure they'll give him a wig if/when needed. I'm surprised they gave Affleck one, didn't seem like he needed one but ohh well.

It's like a live action verision of the Superman/Batman cafe skit.
As is my nephew.
What a cute kid! I'm doing my part too, the wife and I had a baby boy 6 weeks ago. His name is Clark. 😀
Freakin awesome! But the glasses with the Superman shirt? He's in jeopardy of exposing his secret identity!As is my nephew.
Nice! Big congrats on the baby Kal-El.
Hah, I guess the little guy is still learning the ropes!

I felt the same about star wars but here we are. Enjoy living in the moment because you can't get that time back. What is 4 months anyways.

The bizarre toys always make me laugh. Hey kids, remember when Batman wore a drill suit to counter Bane's robot arms in The Dark Knight Rises?
Eh not really
More that movies film more than they could ever use. There's a rough cut and of course the movie will be trimmed down to something special by the end
It's also Snyder's process (in the same school as Kubrick), which is to shoot a ton as raw material and then shape it; versus someone like David Fincher, who has an exact idea of what he wants and tries to get it up front. Of course, both do both (just to different degrees) and both ways work.
I don't think there's going to be a directors cut necessarily, but consider some things Snyder said to Collider back in 2013:
======
For fans like me superfans another 10-20 minutes, I would have no problem with it.
SNYDER: Of course not! I dont know. Im going to give that some thought but we really got to the point where because theres not cut. Its not like the studio is forcing us to cut it.
But you do agree the audience, generally 2:20 is where they tap out.
SNYDER: They can, it depends if its a sequel. On a sequel you tend to give you can get a little longer, you know what I mean?
Sure. Im just saying, Id love to see more footage and Im hoping that you put some of that on the Blu-ray and I think we should announce now that youre putting it on the Blu-ray.
SNYDER: Okay, very good.
That was noncommittal. I know youre putting together the home video thing, is there going to be stuff like that, that fans can look forward to?
SNYDER: Yeah. I think theres a lot of interesting stuff. There are a bunch of Easter eggs in the movie that I think is hard to see them.
======
The things to note is that the studio wasn't demanding a specific length and the Snyder feels a sequel can go a little longer. Additionally, while we might not get a director's cut, we might see more of that stuff as disc extras. Granted, Man of Steel didn't have any deleted scenes on the disc, but it included a full feature-length video commentary and multiple making-of documentaries. Especially given the long post-production time and the importance of BvS to the larger DC film slate, there's the potential for some really excellent, polished disc extras.
A lot of time, they don't want to show deleted scenes because of how raw and unfinished they look, but with ages (and perhaps some budget) to polish them up, they might be more willing to show us cut sequences after theatrical release. Maybe.

I know this was covered in the interview, but it feels slightly different when Gal RTes it!

Don't know if I should watch any footage tbh. I really want to see it, but then again I want to be completely surprised during the movie....goddamnit. I probably won't be able to control myself.

The Length of the movie is meaningless, if the movie is good they'll stick it out on a long movie like LOTR. It the movie is bad, then the movie can't be short enough.

I assume we're going to get a full theatrical trailer soon. The comic-con stuff was never shown in theaters (outside of some strange chopped down version for Imax.) It's about time they get something in the theaters to build hype.

Yeah my ant-man had a slimmed down SDCC trailer attached to it for me. People liked seeing Gadot as WW.
I keep saying I don't want to see any more footage but I can't help myself. I hope the way they cut the trailers is for the first half of the movie and not so much whatever comes the BvS fight.
Hoping to see confirmation on Sean & Eva soon, I have no idea where they're planning to shoot WW though.

I've been to the theater quite a bit and never saw it, not even the chopped up version.
I saw it in theaters. Not sure what movie it was but it was out there for sure.
As is my nephew.
Cutest thing I've seen all week.
I probably dress up my nephews too to go catch the movie
Mattel doesn't care.

It's the car Clark drives so he leaves behind a paper trail in case anyone is suspicious.
FunkyPajamas

That makes sense. Wait, no, that doesn't make sense. It has "SUPERMAN" written on its side. It's going to blow his cover if he drives it as Clark. Also, I figured Clark/Supes would drive an electric car. That doesn't look like an electric car to me.
Perhaps they care too much.
Says officially licensed, but who knows would be some cool posters.

were there no casting announcements made for this? i wasn't even slightly aware of said taghmouia being in it.
Those clothes definitely point towards "period piece" to me.

Smart to make Trevor and the whole scenario of him finding Themyscira set during WW1, rather than a modern jet pilot or something like that

Yea, I find this premise faaar more interesting than a modern day Wonder Woman.
If in the future they make a present day WW flick, I hope the focus is on the greek mythological side vs hanging out in the U.S.
It's what I hope they do for a lot of the DC films, because they have the potential to be vastly different in tone and scope.
Superman movies dealing with human civilization on a global scale
Batman movies having the more smaller, character focused stories
Wonder Woman going Greek Mythology
Green Lantern movies taking place in space
Aquaman was starting to build up a really cool underwater world awhile back in the comics if I remember correctly. I would hope he stays underwater and explores.
Flash and Green Lantern, buddy cop comedy.
