In the comic, he took out Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman with his scepter. Though that's more the scepter being powerful than Orm himself. Arthur whupped his ass when they fought 1v1 later.

Yeah, the adaptation made that story way more simplistic than the comic. Wasn't a fan.
The movie went the safe route.
Because in the comics, Orm destroyed everything (and killed hundreds) with tidal waves:
I don't care how powerful Superman is or how fast Flash is....there's nothing they can do against that.
And the movie left out one of the coolest scenes, Superman boiling the ocean and frying the Atlantean soldiers:
To Verendus point, seems like Gal will be on Ellen.
Yup. Totally remember Verendus talking about advertising to different demographics so close to release.
My mom watches Ellen and loves it. My mom is still uneasy about this movie simply because she can't see Ben as Bruce Wayne. Something tells me she's cautiously interested in the movie though. This spot could totally sell it.

I've said this a lot of times but I think Gadot is what will keep BvS in the news and give it legs. It will set the standard for female super heroes. I think Black Widow is great, but lets be honest, she's not a super hero, and a lot of her function is eye candy/femme fatale. I want to see women throwing punches with the guys, not being the emotional support for the team or a love interest. I don't remember her throwing any punches at Ultron/Loki, maybe I'm wrong, I haven't watched the films in awhile.
I'd like to see Gadot's interview, I really don't know much about her.

Yea we've been hearing it pretty consistently that she's one of the high points of the movie. If she can resonate with fans that will be huge for this movie. I'm already excited for the standalone movie. I know we've only seen a few clips of it but she just looks the part to me imo.

She supports the massacre of the Palestinians, so there's that.

I hope so.
So, I was bummed when Amazon preorder for the.soundtrack on vinyl sold out, but I found out the UK (I think) is getting a limited edition with the vinyls being colored (blue red and black) for only 18 bucks more. Jumped on that shit immediately.

Iron Man 3 is fantastic. Has easily the best humor and wit in that entire slate of films, though that is expected when you got Shane Black behind the script.

Yeah, Iron Man 3 is great. My brothers and I love it.
I also know a guy that isn't much of a fan of most of the Marvel movies, but he loves Iron Man 3. He thinks most of the other movies are okay to good, and hates Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Avengers.
Personally, I like all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe stuff. I just rewatched all of the movies last month for the first time since seeing them in theaters, and still thought they were great.
You know, one of my brothers bought that on DVD when it came out, and I've always had it around, but haven't gotten around to watching it. I've meant to, though. I'll try and do that this week.

Bought my tickets today. Super hyped! I got them via Fandango and got some free comics that I'll eventually take a look at.
That's fun, but I hope it's non-canon.

Cool shot of Lex
Soo...
Soo...
This is from the scene where Superman bows to Lex. But since the Bat signal still exists it probably happens just prior to the fight. So Superman is under some mind control or something?
I think in that scene is when he is talking to Lois, about "Man of Steel versus Bat of Gotham"Cool shot of Lex

Yeah Iron Man 3 is in a similar position to Man of Steel, the difference is that I accept the movie isn't what I want it to be and move on, unless someone asks for feedback in particular. In this case it was a bit too comedic for my tastes and a far cry from Iron Man 1.
People that dislike man of steel's tone will let you know it, over and over. They won't move on and will continue to bring up man of steel in any DC thread they can. It's become supremely obvious at this point that BvS won't feature a Donner Superman.
I don't want to open that can of worms since I barely know anything about the conflict. Curious what Affleck thinks about that, considering he's very left leaning. I hope it isn't an issue on set.
Suprisingly, the comics they all put in there are really good and worth continuing. I wish DC would put up a database system already.

I'm pretty site there's no
in this movie. And it would not make sense either, if Superman
.
I don't like the idea either, it makes him look like a bitch.
mind controling
is being mind controled, the fight with Batman would last half a second, cause Supes wouldn't have to pull any punches

Agreed. I don't want that either.

Nah, just Affleck really. It's weird, I've always thought that out of the two, Cavill was always the more robotic and less fun seeming person. However, these Omaze videos have really made Affleck come across really stilted and scripted, whilst making Cavill seem like a pretty fun guy.
Guess it's the work he's had done on his face? Just seems so unanimated.

I mean, Affleck looked fine on Jimmy Kimmel.
Thanks for pointing her out. Didn't even realize she was there. They both come into focus at the same time as well.

IM3 is nowhere near as polarizing as MOS. It's certainly the closest Marvel Studios has come to engendering that sort of backlash, but it's still a long way from it.

Mind control
Lex has Ma
Batman comforting Superman if Ma Kent dies, holy shit would that be so fucking sad. It would be a beautiful start to a friendship.
Well that's because of two things imo:
1. It's not the sole movie in the universe, and it didn't have a 3 year gap until the next marvel movie.
2. Man of Steel has some noticeable flaws, regardless of tone or it's take of Superman.

FUCK yes. managed to cancel my bvs tickets in german to get ones that are cheaper and in english. 16 days left.
yeap horrible look makes him look bloated
He totally predicted (knew) we were getting a female focused marketing in this last push due to tracking numbers. I think we need more like him and less Scullis and such armchair hollywood conossieurs.
Didn't the lower part of the costume leak?
That's true.
Another BvS screening this week. Not a private one like last month, so I imagine some spoilers could potentially make their way onto the interwebs by next week. Just letting the spoilerphobes know. More importantly, we still don't know the run time of the BvS home video release. I feel like it's time we just give up on this. We'll never know. It's just not meant to be.
Instead, it's time to focus on X-Men: Apocalypse. The true-blue superhero that we all really need. And he has all the colour you could want.

Why is the runtime on the bluray so important?
