Watched it yesterday on Cinemax and the Smallville fight still impresses the fuck out of me.

I sat in the theater so uncomfortable during the Metropolis battle. I felt nauseous. It was ridiculous. The score made me feel like it was shouting at me "LOOK AT THESE VISUALS!!!! ARENT THEY AMAZING, ISNT THIS THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!"

Michael Giacchino is in the god tier now as well.

The unsung goddess of Batman music is Shirley Walker.

John Williams is of course the GOAT but I don't think he'll ever do another superhero theme
Giachinno hasn't done one either has he? That could go either way but I'm sure it would be really good
His music for apes was so bad though, but I think he could have done a good superman theme

Giacchino did The Incredibles. Closest he's gotten to a super hero movie. Unless we count John Carter and Speed Racer.
I'll probably take a lot of shit for this but I think Giacchino is a pretty forgettable film composer. I *love* his LOST soundtrack and can pick out a couple dozen amazing, unique themes from that show off the top of my head. But I couldn't hum a single bar from anything he's scored for any movie, it all just blends together and nothing of his film work has ever stuck in my memory.

His John carter and Pixar one's are good but he's definitely the most overrated composer on gaf
Everything I hear from him sounds sort of derivative of his lost work
Edit: uhh actually I really like all of it lmao, but he's not as memorable as other composers

See, I don't see that working in live action. Can't see a human being going through a pillar or a wall. Batman can't take that physical abuse. He'll have to just talk.

Yeah, questions of fidelity to the source material aside, this is not a good comparison.
The X-Men and the Brotherhood all have a single concept, mutation, that explains their powers and is at the core of their backstories and motivation. By contrast, the Justice League, much like the Avengers, is a hodgepodge of unrelated concepts: non-powered genius billionaire vigilantes, alien races, quasi-magical-ring-powered space policemen, humans accidentally acquiring superpowers, magic, mythological beings, long-lost ancient undersea civilizations, etc.
That's not to say that it's outright impossible to introduce characters based on more than one of those concepts in a single film, just that it's a lot harder to do unless you're departing from the superhero convention (and from Man of Steel, Kryptonians aside) and giving us a universe where those concepts are already firmly established. Which BvS is doing with Batman, to be fair, but not necessarily with other characters.

If Nolan's Batman had Bane punching holes in a concrete pillar and Bruce shattering bricks with a kick, expect Snyder to push Batman's physical limits further. He did it with Watchmen and it was frankly inappropriate for that material.

They're gonna have to bend the rules of reality for Batman in this series. This obviously won't be on a Nolan level of realism, but more akin to other action movies where guys have stupid amounts of invulnerability by real life standards. Batman being a 'superhero' with all the best gear can push it further.
Anyway, Snyder's the director. He'll make it like the source material without looking back.

Doing the whole history is really slick. But that BVS one is speculative on the colours based on rumour.

Well, hopefully it ends up being Grey and blue, but kinda looks like it's gonna be all black.

Yeah that looks awesome.
Man of Steel complaints make less and less sense as time goes on.

I'm actually not crazy about it. Would have preferred they went with black instead of blue but I'll hold all judgements until I see Batfleck in action.

It was my very first issue with the movie. It has stuck with me. The Soundtrack is overblown IMO.
I've always liked the more armored batsuits more but this looks fine also.
The batsuit in Arkham Knight gets me all giddy each time I see it
The stupidly large ears ruin that suit for me. Medium or short.

Ho lee fuk. I hadn't even notice. Please WB make this a thing.

He's looking slightly left and slightly above parallel.
If you can't see it, maybe adjust the color/contrast settings on your monitor. I can see both pupils in both eyes.

Is basically an iron man suit in AK. lol. It makes more sense in a real world scenario though.
*sigh* You may be right. I can barely see it, but it's there.
Just say he has white contacts that provide computer imaging, and then cg out his pupils. Is that so hard?!

That supposed pic of Batfleck really, really resembles recent pics of Affleck's frame and build.

Kinda tired of the armor look myself, but the AK armor is gorgeous.

The desctiption makes it sound like it was designed based on rumors and speculation rather than being an official piece.

Why does that say gray-blue has been "strongly rumored?" Every description, especially from people who have seen it like Kevin Smith, has confirmed gray and black.

Yeah only down side are his large sharp ears which look like he could impale someone with them.
It just looks like he has to duck down everytime he goes through a door. Or that the hood of the Batmobile might clip them if he tilts his head the wrong way.
