I enjoyed it to be honest. The fight scenes were just what we need in a Superman movie.
I'm not overly pumped about this film at the moment though. Mainly due to two things: 1. It's Batman and Superman. Again. I don't care if they're together. I'm fed up with these two. 2. The "fanboy-ism"... not that it's really that much of a bother, since I'm the same with most Marvel films, but people screaming and ejaculating and being all "YESSSSSS" over every picture. The Batman costume doesn't really seem any different than all the other Batman costumes over the years, and the Wonder Woman one looks like a big-budget Xena costume. And Superman is Superman. I'm interested and am excited, but I dunno, I feel this year is a few years too late, and without any hype for the other characters. |

Well, considering that Xena's costume was modeled after Wonder Woman's, it's not exactly a huge surprise that a modernized Wonder Woman costume would look like Xena.
I do agree, though, that a lot of DC's movie-verse feels like it's too little, too late. I will never let go of the fact that Marvel got fucking Rocket Raccoon into a major motion picture before DC could get Wonder Woman, and not even in her own movie. As much of a fanboy as I am for Superman and as great as Batman is, it'd really be nice to see the rest of the DCU get some spotlight-- this is going to be Superman's seventh movie, and Batman's eighth-- ninth, if you count the Adam West Batman movie. I'm glad that they're finally getting their asses in gear and being serious about getting Wonder Woman and Shazam and the others on screen, but Marvel's already cornered the big-superhero-movie market, and did so with movies that weren't as depressing and self-serious as Man of Steel was. So.....yeah, it does feel like they're just trying to play catch-up. I will say, though, that DC's looking a lot better on TV. Arrow's been kicking ass (even if it is just "Green Batman"), the Flash looks super-fun, and I'm really digging what I've seen from Constantine. It's a shame the "A-list" heroes don't seem to be a part of the TV-verse, because they're doing a much better job of what the DC Universe should be like (at least to me). |

what baffles me is their refusal to connect their established or establishing 'verses.

DC animated and TV universes are way better in my opinion but those aren't the big money areas. Marvel has them beat where it counts- for now.

I mean, casting Jo Levitt as batman would have connected that universe, and throw the dude from Arrow in the cast and all of a sudden you have a much larger universe that really adds credibility all around.

I also find to be honest that a lot of Marvels animated movies are really underrated, and whilst some of DC's are good, they're not all as amazing as they're made out to be.
Superman/Doomsday (one I was really excited about watching) only had Doomsday in it for the first 15 minutes... the rest was the same old tired, worn-out Superman vs. Lex Luthor bullshit. Nowhere Man pretty much summed it all up perfectly in his post above. Especially the bit about Quote:

Also the fact that Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern won't be a part of it, and I'm not sure but I don't see the guys from Arrow or Flash etc being in it either. At least Marvel's Agents of SHIELD ties into the movieverse.

Just making the yellow on the waist more prominent is a big improvement for me. There's more faux muscle than before, like Henry needed that.

Cape looks brighter too. Real happy about that.
Now if only he would accidentally put his underpants on the outside. |

I really liked the suit Man of Steel I didn't see a problem with it.
This suit appears to be good to so it's all moot. |

Already said I was not going to another movie until this comes out. I hope it kick starts a DC comics movie boom similer to Marvel.

Didn't see the need to change his suit, though it being brighter will be a nice contrast to what is likely to be a very drab suit for Bats. Love his hair, though.

Still not willing to "throw my hat into the ring" with this. The costumes are not getting me to buy in.

I will not buy into any hype for this until it's released and reviewed. While all the official photos and one leaked video look great, I revert to the original, which looked amazing and ended up being a huge let down. I have zero faith in Snyder, and while the new writer can't be worse than Goyer, doesn't mean he's going to better either.

Seeing Cavill with the hair not slicked back, and actually genuinely smiling.... makes me see his potential. If only they didn't insist on slicking his hair back and making him "serious". |

Kinda looks like a drop top. Very oldschool as far as Batmobiles go. Also looks like there's some synergy with Arkham Knight. Not saying their is, but the inspirations are there.

So who's the big bad in this? Lex?
I heard rumor long ago of Doomsday, and while I feel he'll make some sort of cameo, I think they'll likely hold off on him for a Justice League title. |

Yeah I'm already tired of people thinking it's tokenism. She's one of two very popular female Robins and DC has a history of not giving a fuck about appealing to everyone ever (which is why their works are more polarizing than Marvel's).
This also kinda sorta establishes that there's a Nightwing and Red Robin somewhere out in that universe. |

Nobody knows who she is. She may be popular in the comic book world, but gen movie audiences have no idea who she is. I'd be willing to bet those same audiences haven't a clue Dick Grayson grew up to become Nightwing.
Not to mention, how long is this movie gonna be? Batman, superman, lex, Diana, cyborg, aquaman and now arguably the least publicly recognized Robin all in one movie. Christ. |

Well they all don't need to have 30mins of screen time. It's probably cameos mostly.
I would also argue Jason Todd is the least publicized Robin. His tenure was brief nor was he apart of any significant runs. He didn't hit mainstream(ish) renown until he stuck to the Red Hood persona. |

He was still apart of the ongoing canon and it was a big deal when he died. Casey was part of a non canon, else worlds story that is only recognized by comic fans.
In terms of cameos, Aquaman I can kind of get behind, but there's way too many characters at this point. It's not a Muppet movie. |

All I know about Jason Todd is that he got beaten to death with a crowbar.
All I know about Carrie Kelley is nothing. If she's just some random girl called Carrie Kelley in the movie then fine. But I don't want to see a Robin. Much less a nobody Robin. |
