Looks like their R&D budgets and not overall net worth.

To what is Geschäft Krieg referencing?
I'm sure you mean Russell Crowe, lol.
It's how much each company is expected to invest in military contracts
Makes sense that Bruce doesn't do much with arms

There's a slight bit of suspension of disbelief when the article goes "I mean, who R&Ds a stealth plane and all these gadgets but never uses them?" It's almost like Wayne is funding Batman!
I think that's the point. It's heavily suggested that Luthor knows who Batman and Superman are.

Their military/defense R&D budget, specifically.

It wasn't Luthor that said it, it was "Wired". Bit on the nose for my liking.
Also, three new Lego sets.

It might be at the discretion of the theater. I know at my theater, if a movie is on multiple screens, one of them usually has a full compliment of trailers and the others usually have what is "physically" attached to the print, which is usually just one or two instead of four or five. I'm not speaking as an employee or former employee, just something I've noticed over the years of going to the same theater.

It doesn't really say that part, though. Does the writer of the article/graphic even know Batman has an "exoskeleton"? We're assuming that he does, even though (supposedly) there is no actual picture of Batman taken.

I know the article didn't say that, that's why it's not in quotes
I'm simply saying that the part of the article really touches on what the audience/reader knows about Batman, and seems far too pointed to be a general observation, like it should be read as. Just my personal opinion.That Wired article is great, just the sort of marketing I like. It's a shame WB haven't embraced viral marketing quite as strongly as they did for The Dark Knight & Rises, I think that style really helped people get hyped for those films more than the current, more direct method.
Who knows what they have planned for next year. It could be big. It could be small.
But there will be marketing.

Lol A hundred million in Defense R&D and they have no Defense Contracts, that's not weird at all.

It says right there that it's strange. The weirdest thing is seemingly nobody is able to put two and two together. Well, other than Lex and Supes apparently.
edit: I should have clarified this is not an attack on the movie. I just think it's funny that's all.
Yeah, I can agree with this. Too chubby. I wish they went with the profile of his Batarang. Though, that might make it more difficult to fit the 'S' in.
You're looking at this wrong
This is before the movie so Batman probably hasn't even unveiled the plane or the Batarmor yet... even then they say that Wayne hasn't shown any prototypes so no one even knows if its production or what it looks like!

Less of a wall than a Wall, methinks.
Guilty! Though the definition of fanboy changes depending on who you ask. Most of y'all in here are pretty big fanboys.
What in the world is concern trolling?
Anywho, I don't recall ever using the words "persecution complex." Maybe at some point, but I don't think I coined it for DC fans or used it recently. Some of you guys get really sensitive though and are quick to cry about a collective bias that's out to tear down DC. There are a select few who just shit on everything DC but you can find people that do that for pretty much anything. There are a few posters that do nothing but incessantly bitch about Marvel, for example. Other than that, there's just a genuine tendency for gaf members to not find DC films appealing.
I think DC-gaf has just been on the receiving end since the dust from the Nolan trilogy finally settled. DC hasn't had a similar overwhelmingly praised film for 3 years, and the only other film of note in that time is constantly bashed over and over ad nauseum.
All that said, don't pretend like some of you guys don't make a habit of vindictively troll Marvel-gaf with bullshit either.
Insane how close it is to not only this movie but the DC films actually being allowed to cross pollinate.
The previous regime really did have their head up their butts. But then supposedly their boss didn't like division helping each other.
One thing I'm hopeful for is underneath all the fear and uncertainty it's shown that Bruce is plain JEALOUS of Superman. He's getting old and fighting a losing battle against crime and blight for decades, losing partner(s), his hometown doesn't exactly embrace love/him. And then this giant throbbing muscle that can level cities in a street fight saves the entire planet in and one day and is seemingly adored the world over.
Don't make him too petty but at least show Batman isn't that disconnected from his lizard brain for all his training and smarts.

Yea I've been a DC fanboy since I was like 8, haha. I don't dislike Marvel though. You'll never see me shitting up a MCU thread.

Ah, that makes sense. I had assumed the bat plane had already been seen flying around and when they talked about exoskeleton I thought bat suit, not bat armor. Fair enough.
edit: wait... Penguin... hmmm.

THAT looks much better, although I'm still concerned about neck articulation.
The armored suit figure looks ok but it looks like they used Keaton's likeness instead of Affleck. lol
Here's the Knightmare figure:
Interestingly, this doesn't use the previous Knightmare branding. Reads Apocalypse Version? hard to tell what the second word is.
Might be "vision"

Ben gets that you can't have a great superhero movie without a good villain.
Despite his choice of profession, Cavill strikes me as a rather shy individual.

As the one who actually has used the term "persecution complex" recently, pretty much this.
Is there a lot of negativity about BvS? Yes. Is all of it well-argued and well-reasoned? No.
Complaining about those things is not, in itself, a persecution complex (though I do think it means you need to grow a thicker skin). Where it becomes a persecution complex is the not-universal, but frequently expressed, sentiment that all or most of said negativity is driven by MCU fanboyism.
Said it before, I'll say it again: If Marvel Studios had only released one film to date, and that film had been as polarizing as MoS, they'd be in the exact same position with Internet fandom.

Guessing if we follow that interview article, DCEU Batman doesn't endorse killing, given his lack of military contracts. People say they know everything about the film from the trailer but we still don't know exactly what kind of Batman and WW we're actually getting. There's so many scenes in the movie that could be attributed to Lex framing Batman. I'm assuming knightmare Batman is him pushed over the edge and not how he usually acts.
I know Affleck isn't going to admit if Batman v Superman is a shit movie but I can't help but feel his comments about Eisenberg are genuine. Yea there are going to be some people who just can't get past that casting no matter how well he does but I really think he may be the standout. Which is saying a lot considering the other talent he's surrounded by.

Just finished reading Lex's newest interview. I'm really loving these viral marketing bits. Love that they're slowly giving us a glimpse into the DC world. Also love the mention of Kord Industries... maybe a hint of a (Jaime) Blue Beetle movie?!
