Man of Steel wasn't even as good as Superman Returns.
There, I said it.

It's Harley Queen
No, no, it really isn't, it's not a matter of "getting away with more" it's a matter of that more actually just being too far in total. I'm not talking in relative terms here, I'm talking in an absolute way, there absolutely is a world of difference.
I'm indifferent on Man of Steel, but that's how I look at it as well. He really hasn't become Superman as we know him until that final scene with mamma Kent at the very end of the film. This was, at least in part, the intention of the movie. It's why Zimmer's bombastic theme doesn't kick in until that scene starts. Goyer's crappy dialogue kind of ruins that last bit at the Planet though : /
Similar with what he did with Batman Begins - you hear bits and pieces of the theme throughout the movie, but it doesn't come together until the final moments of the film when the hero officially takes up the mantle and becomes Batman/Superman.

Watch those 2 movies.
I would say Street Kings is a hundred times more interesting than Sabotage (its the movie with Arnold).
Harsh Times is basically a Bale show. He carries the movie through and through . I think a decent director should be able to take advantage of such role.

Tom Hardy on having to leave the movie.

I can see the problem with the ending
But I do think they wanted to establish Clark's status quo, and there isn't really much needed for that
So probably easier to start next movie with him working at the Planet then putting it at the beginning.
dude im seriously so bothered by Killer Croc's size
it feels like a minor thing considering I don't really have big hopes for this and don't much like the look (or even people cast) in the other roles
but Killer Croc having a lean frame and being as small as Will Smith is bothering the shit out of me
he looks like Solomon Grundy's little nephew or something

They should have made him how he was in the comics
no they shouldnt
Killer Croc got different and better and his current representation anywhere is not what is shown there or in the film
that's like people saying Batman should have the shittest cowl and carry a handgun and kick people till their necks break
don't think im crazy to expect something more akin to this in terms of size

I wonder if any of these characters steal the show if WB will push for them in others.
Joker & Harley are given but what if Croc or Deadshot are breakout, would WB want them in a solo Batman movie.
If Katana is huge would they put her in a Batman movie? second female for Justice League?

TDK shits on TWS so what is your point? There is no single right way to make comic book movies. I also prefer my comic book movies to be more dark and grounded and preferably R rated ( unfortunately R rating wont happen) and I am getting tired of these forced one liners and inept villains in marvel movies. There is nothing edgy about being dark. It is just another take on these films. Plus why should suicide squad and a movie based on Frank Miller's TDKR be light and colorful? It is absurd. Ultimately whether it is light or dark it will suffer if it has a poor script.
I don't like that justification for Killer Croc's design because then we should put Harley in a unitard with a jester's hat.
They went too "realistic" with that.
I'm also slightly bothered by Will Smith as Deadshot. Don't get me wrong, I love Will, but because he's such a huge actor, they're not going to have his face covered as often.
It's kind of like how they HAVE to somehow pull Caps helmet off just to show off Chris Evans' face.
I groan every single time.

Aww, but Evans has such a cute face! It should only be covered when he's in an action scene.
it's just a very odd decision even from a "team" perspective
they all look just... very much alike
why wouldnt you have the huge cocodrile guy in there to at least make the team standout more as an ansamble thing

I hope Harley has that over-the-top Brooklyn accent. The fact a foreigner is player her, though, it makes me think it's going to miss the mark.

Thats just because the helmet looks stupid in everything but TFA.

I wouldn't be surprised if Croc evolves across movies, like he did across the Arkham games.no they shouldnt
Killer Croc got different and better and his current representation anywhere is not what is shown there or in the film
that's like people saying Batman should have the shittest cowl and carry a handgun and kick people till their necks break

They dude gets bigger if he loses his humanity. You're talking about animating a 15 foot guy in everything from action scenes to casual talking scenes. That would be crazy expensive. The dudes 6.2 and built like a brick-shit house. Lets see if they make him bigger at some point.
I guess so
it just screams a WB/Smallvile type of approach to a character that should be larger than life and im getting tired of those

Watch this scene from Wolf of Wall Street, and just imagine her amping that up as a messed up she-clown.
I think Robbie is going to nail the character.

are we sure the Killer Croc we're seeing in these stills isn't placeholder, and we'll have a CG ver in the end product?
Every time that happens, the end result is worse. Like that stupid orc from the hobbit movies.

Or maybe they want practical effects and more realistic/grounded action rather than a CGI creature tearing stuff upLike Groot and Rocket had to be?
It would work if they prioritized it. They probably just didn't have the money on this particular film. Will Smith alone probably eats up a chunk of the budget.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It gets pulled off during actiom scenes. Its like, why even wear it if it'll get pulled off and not put back on? Do you suddenly no longer need head protection?
Like his fight with Batroc in TWS. He took his helmet off...for what reason exactly?
Yes Evans is a good looking summbitch but I would like Cap to look like Cap when he's fighting.
I only noticed Boomerang in the original picture.
Both Boomerang and Harley should be called out for their footwear. It's entirely skit worthy.
Damn you Hardy. I've been trying to avoid getting too much hype.
No, pretty nice weather recently.

I'm not convinced at any of these promos.

TBPF, this is probably part of why they didn't go with the bigger interpretation. Don't want people's wires crossing.
They just started. Relax and give them the benefit of doubt. They've been building the DCU for awhile now.

What in the actual fuck Adidas? Lol
High fashion is flat out terrible. I do not see the appeal at all.
But Harleen's heels are pretty cool. I've notice a lot of women like to wear these style heels these days, especially the Nike and Jordan's.

That would be cool. Maybe Brainiac. If they didn't already have Jim Parrack as the new, younger Deathstroke I would say he would be a badass fit for that.
