Batman v Superman / Justice League / DC Movies

This. The HD version just reinforced my perception of this. I'll go see it too but I was waiting for a reason to be excited about this and the more I see / read the more I think they're on the wrong path.

I still think DC is trying too hard to catch up to Marvel in the live action movie arena, and this trailer reinforces that in me.

I'm more excited about their next animated venture than this movie.

It kind of reminds me of the Freddy vs Jason trailer.  Lets have two monsters battle. People don't like sups so batman will fight him. Why? That bat suit looks too big for him. Too dark to see and too underwhelming. Where is everyone else?

Batman?  Looked like Iron Man made a bat suit.

For a movie that has been dreamed of since the Burton era of Batman movies, the trailer is underwhelming.  The electronic modulated Batman voice makes one long for the days of the Christian Bale smoker voice.  At this point, they might as well cast the Wonder Twins and Gleek for comic relief.  While the movie will make untold millions, it won't touch Avengers 2.

Who really wants to see this?  So joyless.

One of the reasons The Dark Knight Returns (comic) was so effective in this conflict was because the two guys had been allies for decades.  Batman was convinced his true friend had been corrupted, and had to be taken down.  That's powerful stuff.

Here, there's no conflict.  Who knows if they've even met.  It's two strangers wailing on one-another.

It's the same kind of mistake JJ made in Trek 2 - trying to recreate something beloved without any foundation to support it.  And it makes no sense.

I'm sure there will be lots of pretty explosions, though.

I too don't care for the "hey, we're the darkest dark that ever darked a dark" vibe they are going for

Batman v. Superman: Darkness

Pretty sad how fitting that LEGO movie song is...

This looks like a better movie:

You gotta be joking...


Pun intended.

I saw a good comment on Twitter - 

"oh wow I can tell this version of the Joker is a real bad dude because his origin story involves falling into a vat of hot topic"

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con Trailer

[Nicklab]

The premise of Batman taking on Superman is a tough sell, simply because Superman is so powerful.  But I definitely liked how the beginning of the trailer established why Batman would find Superman to be a threat to the world.  And who is positioned to take on someone whose powers are so god-like?  Using the crazy destruction that happened at the end of Man of Steel seems like an organic way to establish the fact that the people of Earth aren't so prepared to embrace Superman and might approach him with a sense of fear.

The Lex Luthor character seems to have been updated into a snarky 20 something billionaire/genius/d-bag.  And sure enough he's come up with some Kryptonite, too.  How?  As for General Zod's corpse in the bodybag?  I'm curious to see where that goes. 

Wonder Woman looks pretty striking.  Gal Gadot is certainly easy on the eyes, and it'll be interesting to see how her character gets developed into this conflict.

[BillCable]

Was  it just me, or did they seem to get most of the characters wrong?

Ma Kent is lecturing Superman to be selfish and say piss off to all of humanity.

Lex Luthor is jovial and likes to wax poetic.

Bruce Wayne apparently rushes to judgement without investigating all sides of the Zod conflict.

And Superman raises his own Nazi army who worship him to protect his desert stronghold.

Was it just me, or did they seem to get most of the characters wrong?

I think the only "character" they got right was the Joker - the "you let your family die" clipping and the robin suit were awesome. 

Still don't understand why WW is in this movie...  to look good and fight, I guess. 

[BillCable]

I figured it was Lex who sent the note to Bruce.  But they didn't really say either way.

I can't figure out why WW is there either.  Maybe it's to make awesome force fields.
