To be fair, this is all an assumption
I was more thinking he brought those two along because that was his squad. He used them on Krypton as well. Being a former squad leader myself that seemed the most plausible explanation for me. He knew they would have abilities (debatable he knew to what extent) and decided the three of them were enough to accomplish the mission.
That's how I took it anyway. I could be wrong.
Not exactly. Faora held the Citadel's platform, but he went in with two unnamed troops that Jor-El took out. He went with quite a larger number of troops and equipment to get the Codex.
On Earth, he scaled down considerably. Maybe by necessity, but I don't believe so. The Genesis Chamber in the Scout Ship was an important part of their plan as much as the Codex was. Zod didn't take troops with him for that either. He maintained the number of Kryptonians limited to Earth's properties.
Again, all of this is to address why Zod didn't just unload his entire crew onto Earth... he wasn't interested in that.
I'm with you here. It was made pretty clear Zod was looking to revive Krypton as it was minus it's ignorant leadership. He wasn't interested in powers.

they'd have powers if they came to our solar system. but maybe in MoS they have also made it our atmosphere + sun that gives kryptonians their powers. But again superman was in space and he didnt suddenly weaken like he did on the kryptonian ship. I just dont see the NEED to inact a plan on earth when they have solved the problem the main problem, Survivability. They don't need any food or essential anything in our solar system the sun literally feeds them. Anything about not being able to control "super kryptonians" well ....relative to everyone else no one is going to be super...they will all just be strong as fuck, didnt really help Zod much....I can see fighting over the codex because Zod above all thing wanted krypton as a people to flourish. But his NEED to do it all on earth...with a machine and technology that could make another planet in our solar system home....it wasn't convincing.
Agree to disagree on the ability to make another planet work. In terms of convincing... the following wasn't enough to convince him to adopt natural birth as a method of recreating Krypton... if that doesn't show his conviction / programming, I don't know what does!

Routh still has a role to play...
also, I'm sure not all of the Kryptonians in MoS were soldiers. More likely they were scientists and Zod didn't want to risk any harm coming to them, (they did say they retrofitted the phantom zone projector or whatever, I doubt soldiers know how to do that, also the scientist kryptonian that took clarks blood). Wouldn't make sense to put them at risk when they're the only ones that would know how to terraform and restore the codex.
Super Boy Prime would be amazing

No. Most were a part of Zod's attempt at a coup, which was the reason for showing their coup, the arrest, and ultimate imprisonment. Even if you want to assume the majority were scientists, we saw more than enough soldiers in the exile-hearing and Lois's escape to know there were more than three soldiers.

Now that would be awesome. Routh is better as a heel than a hero. It would be awesome to see him as Superboy Prime.
So there is a rumor that the leaked script that has been making the rounds (not publically online yet that I have seen) was written by Kevin Smith on orders from WB to throw news outlets off the scent of what will actually be in the film.

I remember this teaser getting some shit on Gaf. The movie was getting so much shit because posters thought it was gonna be all boring, mopey music and "Clark fishing with his daddy lol".
It doesn't take much of a leap of logic. White contacts. Done.
Even better? White contacts that actually provide computer imaging.
Jesus fucking christ I love this movie so much!!
Just go back and look at Batfleck's mask in Daredevil. To my knowledge it's one if the few super hero costumes we've gotten on the big screen that actually kept the lenses intact. I think looked pretty cool - and it showed that you can do lenses with zero issues.
Except attaching them to the cowl itself removes any level of expressiveness of the actor's actual eyes.
A good fap is its own reward.
Future Batmen I thought this was pretty good

They really should have repurposed Faora into the new Wonder Woman. I mean think about it the best versions of WW tend to be tough hot heads. So wouldn't it make sense to "Vegeta" Faora.
Yes I know she died at the end of MoS, but they could have come up with an explanation for why that wasn't the case. Like Luthor was the one that saved her after the explosion, and is keeping her for
experiments(possible cloning plot). Clark apposes of this, and frees her. But of course this leads to a near Zod moment, before something prevents it from going further. You can even have a scene where Clark's says "I just don't know what to do with her anymore", and Bruce will say "You could always snap her neck Clark" *Batsmirk*.

This fascination of turning Faora into Wonder Woman just boggles my mind. Same with the "she should be a descendant of Supergirl" crowd. Why? Wonder Woman has one of the richest backgrounds of anyone in the JL. Why would anyone want that trashed just to give her Superman's?

The writers probably didn't think Faora would be as well received as she was. Had they known, I'd be willing to bet they'd wouldn't have killed her so easily or made it more ambiguous.

HUGE oversight for sure, and very unfortunate for everyone. They could always write her back though, we never saw her actually perish in the phantom drive warp.

Technically, Zod is the only Kryptonian dead.
They're just trapped in the Phantom Zone. They have no way of breaking out this time as Earth isn't exploding anytime soon.
So, in essence, they'll starve...eventually.
I don't know what the movie canon is for the Phantom Zone but I was under the impression in the comics that no one in the PZ actually dies. It's like this eternal hell basically.

Maybe more of a purgatory, but yeah that's the Phantom Zone in a nutshell
but how to do it and make it squint who knows
Easy lots of black make-up, and digitally whiting out his pupils(he'll say on film that he wears contacts to make him more threatening to criminals). Sure theres not a lot of movie magic involved, but it's way easier(and narratively practical) than trying to make it completely accurate to the comics, and cartoons.

So BvS is not mentioned in the official description for WB's panel at SDCC. Some blogs are assuming that this means it'll be absent, but I have a hard time imagining that that'll be the case.
If it somehow is, I would expect WB to issue an unambiguous statement confirming that shortly, as Lucasfilm has done for Episode VII.

It better not be since... it seems to be all speculation led to them laying out their plans there
And they need the good.. or any press
Wouldn't do footage
But maybe WW/Trinity group shot
Announcement of future movies/plans/outline.
They are the same age...

He is, he just looks like a child compared to Cavill though, as Cavill is currently the epitome of traditional manliness
False alarm then, I seriously thought Jesse Eisenberg was in his early 20's while Henry Cavill late 30's.

The number of scenes in a Batman movie that were carried by the expressiveness of the actor's actual eyes while in the mask is like, three. MAYBE.
It's a thing people say regardless of whether or not it actually applies. it sounds good, and it lets people know that the person SAYING it is a person who does give a shit about things other than special effects and explosions in an action movie. Which is a good thing.
But almost no Batman performance has been appreciably improved by the fact you can see the actors eyeballs while they're in the suit.
