Hmm...this isn't a bad idea. But then I don't get the "Bat is dead" line which is a classic.

which is good you mean.
Don't you start!
The thing I don't like about "The Bat is dead" line is that it's so clearly ADR'd into the scene that it always rips me right out of the moment. You can practically feel how close Cavill is to the microphone in the recording booth.

The ADR job is poor but necessary when filming IMAX. What sucks is they didn't have IMAX scenes on the blu-ray. Seemingly only Nolan has enough sway to do multiple ratios for home releases.

This is similar to how I feel. Batman does not kill, period. Sticking to that guideline could have elevated BvS' story that much more, but alas.
Your hypothesis is correct.
I've just come to accept that any discussion related to the DCEU outside of this thread is going to be hot garbage regardless of what the specific topic is. Oh well, y'all are a more fun bunch anyway.

Me either. Like, it's not my favorite thing ever, but at the same time it doesn't affect me enough to want to make some hyperbolic comment on a message board how it's "the worst costume ever". It's totally serviceable as a do it yourself gen 1 costume that Barry has to make himself. It's supposed to defuse the high amount of heat that he generates. I mean, didn't they literally say he stole things from NASA to make his suit? I could've sworn I read that from when the press did their initial reports from their set visit.
Agreed. At least A) Wait until we really see it in motion and B) Understand that it's his first 'DIY' suit and supposed to look pieced together.
Who's the girl?

I get the level headed complaints. And it always sounds like, you know, damage control when you say it's a scrappy suit he puts together. Folks defend the Captain America suit in Avengers because it's supposed to look bad, too. But people also complain when Spider-Man has a super slick costume he makes himself. Or complain when somebody else gives Spidey his costume. People complain about these things. That said, I do want him to get a proper suit for some action scenes.
I wonder if the old concept art is meant to be his prototype suit or his final suit. Or neither. Cyborg looks way different than this concept art.

Oh, wonder if she's in JL

Scene description from Comicbook.com about the EW pic:
I kinda love that they're starting to get crazy with Batman's various vehicles. That Crawler thing sounds comic bookey as hell.

Flash's costume looks better in motion than in stills imo. But I'm salty we still didn't get yellow boots.
Fuck everything else. JL is what I'm looking forward to the most next year.

So is this the hiding place of all 5 people that are able to enjoy DC movies?
If so...
If so...
can I join you?
This is a safe place.

Okay great, a place to actually discuss the films without being talked down and yelled at for not hating every second of the DCCU
And honestly, I like that they're a lot more ambitious and mature than Marvel films though it does suck to see them released in such flawed states and I think they could have some amazing movies on their hands if they spent their time being character driven stories rather than going for the CGI third act. Especially when they have such strong actors.

I wonder if that rumor of John's being the one to change the third act of SS is true. On one hand, that's a terrible sign. On another, John's is a writer who knows how to take criticism and adjust. He has his ears to the fans constantly and does constant research and that has definitely helped him as a writer over the years.
My next worry is about the Mother Boxes in JL. Normally Mother Boxes aren't that important. They are just super computers that also function as Boom Tubes and they're normally plentiful. For Steppenwolf to come looking for them must mean something dire is happening on Apokolips. Or something. I guess we won't know until his plans are fully unveiled.

I think Suicide Squad would've been perfect had they not had Enchantress+Tattoo guy and just did a story where Joker is running wild and causing shitloads of trouble, Batman is either busy or is just oblivious and they call in the SS to deal with him because of their criminal knowledge and connections while Harley plays both sides.
I loved the visuals and I liled the use of music although it got unnecessarily extensive and I generally really liked all the actors (Even Leto) but I think having such powerful supernatural forces working against fairly regular dudes (in terms of comic books at least) kind of puts you in a small corner of what you can actually do to achieve a happy conclusion.

Mother Boxes are sentient, at least to a degree. They can be "special" ones if they want to write it that way. Maybe even make them Darkseid and Steppenwolf's personal ones. Or maybe one of them is Mister Miracle's and they want to hunt him down.
I would of been content with the same situation as the original comic and have them go after a terrorist cell. Though they would need the balls to pull that off in today's political climate.

If it's like, middle Eastern terrorists I don't see any situation where they don't get in all kinds of trouble for that from fans, casuals and critics alike.

Meh, they kinda were, kinda weren't. The more modern incarnation of the Jihad, The Onslaught, was rumored for the longest time. I think that more grounded take would have worked better than fighting a supernatural threat.

Grounded yeah I agree but, with the state of the world and how controversial something like that would be I can't see it going over well with most people for various reasons.
Not that I'm against the concept but, now would be by far the worst time for that,
Like look at the flac battlefield 1 got for being violent at E3 simply because it happened near a massacre, now imagine if two months later a film about supervillains going to fight jihads and foil their plots was released? People would lose their shit.

Meh, Battlefield 1 also had the fact that it was an actual war with full on war crimes going against it. I think having a terrorist cell the Squad had to take down wouldn't have been too bad. Most modern action movies seem to be against terrorists anyway. That or Russia/North Korea.

Suicide Squad shouldn't have been about a world ending event. It should have been city sized at best. Tactical nuke or something.

I know we talked about this a few pages up, but it's another time when the rumors were far more interesting than what we got. When it was rumored to be The Onslaught and Ed Harris as the leader, I was jazzed as fuck What we got was a waste of the highest order.
I thought Onslaught was rumored for the sequel. Didn't we already know it was going to be about Echantress and her brother?

Its a waste of time going to any DCEU threads. I can probably predict what the comments are without looking.
By now you could probably predict the order the comments appear in as well.
No joke, I thought I was re-reading comments even though I was positive I hadn't been in the thread before, haha. Oh well.
