I liked Bale's Batman, but this DCU Batman looks incredible. I love how this is basically brutal Arkham Batman in live action

I am siurprised that Warner Bros still hasn't put the trailer up on their youtube account.
Anyway I guess the BvS thread is closing down now? It had a good run.
So hyped after these latest trailer. That Arkham game combat!
It should be assumed that screenings should be happening now right? If so if things were going to be bad we should have been or should be hearing negative noise by now right? Even just whispers?

If we go off what Snyder has said, the beginning of the movie is mostly Batman, and just about every scene we've seen is in the first or second act. I'm guessing Superman won't be throwing down with anyone until the Batman fight & Doomsday. Otherwise he'll probably have a rescue montage and some quiet scenes.
The OT will be amazing. Biggest shit fest in OT.

I was hesitant about Arkham Batman working in live action, but it does. It really does.
I can see the fight sped up for the trailer, or with pauses to highlight the details of Batman tossing gun disabling darts in between moves. Love that he isn't wasting time or moves. Every action with purpose.

It was good right up to when the HitFix video got posted - then it hit a snag.
It's not that bad. The threads before this trailer have been way worse.

Oh no, the new thread's been much better. I'm just saying that's where there's been a turn.
Just be happy it had positive reactions. I'm still shocked.
Hmm, so both Warner Bros and Snyder has not yet tweeted out the trailer, that's really weird, they usually do that.

And they still haven't uploaded it on their youtube channel.

We knew it couldn't last. That interview with the heavy breather seems ridiculous to me. It's like he felt a need to kill positive hype.

What always get me is that with all the mediocre writing, pacing, acting, and even action that plagues most superhero films, where do people get off setting such high standards for Snyder? It's not like anyone else is doing anything special. Chris Nolan is the only great filmmaker to work this genre recently, and even his Batman, while great, left a lot to be desired for fans who follow more than the movies.

Really wonder what is going on.
It was a nice surprise that the OT thread for the trailer started off well. That could be because the usual suspects weren't online earlier today and simply weren't able to post. They are now and it's back to "normal". Thankfully to late though. To many positive opinions out there now.

Haven't watched the trailer yet because I'm watching Deadpool tonight and I'm assuming it's going to play there and I really want to watch it for the first time on the big screen. I'm also staying away from most sites to avoid spoilers. Wish me luck DC Gaf!

Aaand it's all shit now. This movie could be the greatest fucking thing ever made and people would still hate it. I really don't understand, how can you willingly choose to NOT like something before even seeing the damn thing? Does it make them happy? This is so weird to me.

Nothing wrong with the rumor of mixed reaction. It's not the first of mixed reaction rumors. No need to be defensive about that. But what's weird is treating the guy's conjecture as part of the rumor when it has no base.

I think it's safe to say that little snippet bests any of the hand to hand combat action set pieces featured in the previous 7 Batman movies.

meh, we're on a video game forum. The scale is from 8 (ok) to 10 (good).
I still argue the scale is a result of the education system. I was rated on a 7-10 scale all of my life. 70-80 we're the kids barely getting by, 80-90 were the kids who sorta had their stuff together, and 90-10 were kids who had their stuff together.
I know it's a shitty scale, but something being a 74 means it was close to failure.
Different discussion for a different topic I suppose.
Screenings have been going on for a while, but that would depend on what you mean too. The first executives screening was a while back, and there was another private thing this month. Screenings where you have a focused audience won't necessarily always lead to whispers because they have to sign a lot of paperwork, and it would be to their detriment to start doing so. Those folks aren't always going online either since there tends to be a spread in terms of demographics. Having said that, hasn't there been leaks? I'm pretty sure I've heard you guys talking about that. That counts as whispers, unless they weren't true, then I guess it doesn't.
I imagine you don't start hearing anything until a week before its release since there are early theater viewings then, and they will consist of a lot of fans who got that opportunity.

Back to rampant speculation, the Ma Kent shot may corroborate some rumors.

Lex kidnaps Ma Kent to hold leverage over Superman. I can see it as Lex's men heading to Smallville and ambushing her, at what appears to be a diner where she works.

Oww yeah I remember that one, but also
Lois getting kidnapped. So maybe the both of them? Superman not being able to save the both of them and needings Batmans help? Amy Adams did say she had a scene with Batman...
There were reports of test screenings last month, on top of that we have that report from late last year where the film got a standing ovation from the WB execs.
IMO if they're have mixed reactions to the films, they don't do a full tv special about the Justice League and hype every movie. Especially the later ones, seeing as those can easy change.
Obviously if the movie bombs and does under a billion, their plans are going to change.
Personally, I don't think they're having mixed reactions. I'm pretty sure they're feeling confident.
Just over a month. Honestly as I've said before. Your average consumer doesn't care about any of that shit. They'll see this new trailer and base their decision off that. It's a good trailer. People have already made up their minds if they want to see this movie or not.
I believe it'll draw out a big crowd for obvious reasons. This movie is literally just a set up for everything else. SS will be out later this year and then we move on to WW, Aquaman, Flash, Justice League movie etc..
I don't know where these rumors are coming from or even if they are real, but it's funny people are willing to latch on to a rumor as fact simply to reinforce their opinion.

Loved the new trailer! Seemed a little too Batman-centric but man the footage looked great. So ready for the movie now. Come on March.
Well I just came from that thread. Eesh. Talk about extremist opinions on both sides. There was like 4 rational posters.
Still need to watch that video but that guy always came off a little over the top. Like he genuinely believes he has single handedly effected major studio decisions wit his work. I don't doubt what he's heard, I doubt it's severity.
Great trailer. That led to about 3 hours of goodwill before McWeeny/McWeezy decided to play fantasy studio owner.
Oh well. I can't imagine that Batman scene, that Wonder Woman, and some of the cool things we've seen leading to a terrible movie. Based on what I've seen the floor for this is average, while the ceiling is still high.
I hope that a lot of crow can be served around 3/27, but who knows. Maybe the hate is not just here, maybe the majority out in the real world look at the trailer and think it's too grim dark. I don't think that's the case (I'd bet it makes about .9-1.3 billion worldwide), but I guess we'll find out.

I just want this movie to be good, goddamnit...
It really did! I don't buy the narrative that McWeeny is just a hater or a Marvel fanboy spreading FUD to undermine the hype of a great trailer but if he were, things certainly went according to plan.

I'm inclined to agree. Never heard the guy, but if Bobby Roberts vouches for him, that works for me.
I can believe that WB execs are unsure about this, but that doesn't really mean much, y'know? How many good things have executive meddling and focus group testing destroyed, do you think?
The news is valid, the conclusions being lept to off of it are premature, IMO.

Yes, and he deserves every praise he gets from that. Suit in a can? C'mon now...
I think where the issue of his intentions comes from is that nothing of the sort had come from any insiders up until now. Everything we've heard said the movie was great. That Affleck, Eisenberg and even Gadot were going to shut people up.
Now, one guy says he heard from other people (and unless I'm wrong he gave no number) that the movie isn't being well received. Even for the most skeptical that should come off as a tough pill to swallow. And as I said before, I'm not doubting what he's heard. I do question who he heard it from and if he is accurately retelling those opinions.

Today started out so well with the trailer. McWeeny opens his mouth and blood is split... I don't know why, but I was surprised that someone actually made a thread about it considering how vague it was. lol
Anyway, the good news is that only the hardcore internet fans have to deal with this. Your average moviegoer hears about the trailer, sees this dope Batman and gets stoked.
Even if Bobby vouches for him it's not like he is infallible. The no jokes policy article will always weight on him, no matter how he spins it as "hey things evolve and change" now, the fact is that when he wrote that article he was pretty damn sure that these movies will not feature any joke and even came up with a click-bait title "Why DC films being serious might give the edge to Marvel" iirc.
Now this "Batman v Superman: DOJ puts the entire DC slate in jeopardy" article, tell me that isn't click-bait title? The timing is just suspect, again not saying the dude is wrong but the whole "yeah, the trailer was amazing but that's not the film you are getting" narrative as absolute rubs me the wrong way.
