I don't think so. I'm more excited for this than a standalone Batman/WW movie.

Hope you're ready for that sex scene
i will eat crow if he's not essentially zuckerberg
just as uninspired in my eyes as "casting the closest bald actor"

I don't always agree with Chris Sims, but I do tend to agree with his assessment of 'The Dark Knight Returns', and that to a certain extent its legacy through interpretation has "ruined" Batman.

That big Avengers gathering happened in 2010, with a new Hulk actor and before Thor and Captain America. Didn't stop it from being cool. Of course, you had RDJ's energy carrying the scene. It's cooler looking back on it now. What I'm saying is, you needed The Rock out there.

It's just a comic con teaser for the geeks
They got the writer of argo on this which leads me to believe they'll be going with the former style rather the latter overall
Or it could just be full on fuckery who knows
Whatever, these are all appetizers to me until the champ xmen apocalypse gets released
rock to show up in justice league as himself, and he will still be overpowered next to superman.

Who knows, maybe they liked MoS? Maybe they don't care.
Maybe they don't take movies that seriously, and just want a decent summer blockbuster? Who knows?
Maybe.

Do y'all think zimmer will incorporate some of the previous batman theme into his new one
maybe some people liked 300, Watchmen, MoS? I think the quality of his movie is directly correlated to the writing talent behind them. I think that Watchmen is awesome, as is 300 and MoS was a potentially suberb film dragged down by some shit writing (I still like it very much, because whenever it hits the right notes it's absolutely awesome) and a score by Zimmer that's too dark. (Just think about it: Insert the MoS score into Nolan's Batman and the results would be even worse).
Exactly.
I think Snyder, with a good script, is a damn solid director. But Sucker Punch and MoS, as visually great as they were, failed conceptually at the script stage. Like Costner worked his ass off as Jon Kent, but when the script is that ridiculous actor/director aren't going to be able to make the absurdity work.
They had Stark, Fury, BW, Coulson.

Batman looks pretty imposing from the side. All that's left is the way he moves.

i'm just not enamored with the idea of a physical face off between batman and superman...

All I ask for is smart Bruce Wayne, Wonder Woman not being dull and some Clark Kent scenes worthy of Christopher reeve
That's all I ask
That's all I ask
Shouldn't one punch from Superes literally make Batman's head explode?

I want Batman to have the dickish behavior of a super villain, though he's fighting crime. Asshole, smartest guy in the room, has a plan to defeat everyone he meets Batman has yet to be nailed on film.

with the strength and durability superman showed in MoS, yeah Batman would be vaporized.
Yes but a combination of weakened Superman, red light projector, kryptonite, crazy Iron Man-esque Batman suit (because you know that IM suit can withstand a hit from Mjolnir) could make this an actual fight.
christopher reeves clark kent is awful.

bullshit fight. and batman...still lost that fight. with supe's character being butchered, hit from kryptonite and a goddamn nuke, supe's was still the last man standing.

I've grown to like Chris Hardwick. He seems genuinely pumped about all the things he's attached to.
I want a shitty, potato phone recorded video of that teaser damn it. Comic Con nerds are failing me.

Batman lost that fight? wat

I don't know man, I think Bats came out the winner from that fight.
But yeah, Bats wouldn't have stood a chance had Supes not been weakened by the nuke and then the kryptonite gas.
No one gives a shit about those jobbers. It's about Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Hulk.
LMAO @ Batman "losing" the fight.
The fight happened all according to Batman's plan.
It's pretty obvious Superman would never lose to Batman unless Batman had either red light projector or kryptonite (green or yellow). With those two Batman should never "lose" either so the whole fight rests on the inclusion of the plot devices. Which means the fight isn't down to a physical beat down but rather the writing of the author. If the author wants they can have Superman kill Batman in a second before he even has time to react... but then that would mean that he makes Superman look like a dick.

I'm just hyped in a "holy shit DCU is happening, the TRINITY! WONDER WOMAN!!" kinda way and what it will pave for the future

or held back and let batman beat him up...
anyways, like i said...the whole premise for that fight was crap, just so miller could have his batman wank

That would be cool although they may not want the association with the previous movies. I wouldn't mind if they keep it.

I think it served a good example of what a prep time Batman is truly capable of. I can understand why some don't like it though, the idea of an old Batman beating the crap out of Superman is probably a hard pill to swallow, but I loved it.
It showed that for al his power, he could still be brought down by someone he doesn't really see as a threat. He's blinded by the arrogance his power affords him and he pays dearly for it.

Dark Knight Returns. Two parts. The Superman fight is in the second. Both parts are great though. Worth watching all of it.

Dark Knight Returns Part 2. Watch both movies, probably some of the best Batman films around, live action or animated.
All I want is for them to not be assholes. Especially Batman. It confounds me to no end how enamored people are with interpretations of Bats that make him a completely anti-social asshat.

See I always hated this fight because Superman goes easy and never wants to hurt Batman, heck in a way he wanted to lose. Is there a single example where Batman and Superman fight and Batman comes out victorious without Superman going easy or mentally doing his best not to hurt Batman.

But that's the point of Batman. He doesn't trust anyone, and that really should come across in this.

i wouldn't expect a different response from a batman fan...
some don't like it because it goes against everything that superman is. it wasn't even a real display of superman's power. nor was it about superman being blinded by arrogance from his power. he held back.
its also an elseworlds story...in canon batman has never beat superman, while the vice versa has happened. in canon.
