Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

[alvarado52]

Im really hoping they just DONT call it JLA, focus on the Trinity, maybe a couple little cameos or bit parts from the other JLA characters, and build upon that.

I feel it'll work much better focusing on the "big three" of the JLA, then adding the rest in a more prominent role in the next film.

[alvarado52]

...but I feel like they're gonna over do it, call it JLA, and sacrifice building characters in favor of just slapping a costume on them and giving them a name.

Im trying my best to be optimistic about the film, but it peaked with the reveal of WW being in, and started going waaaay downhill with the reveal of Lex Luther being a 16 year old.

[JimmyMess]

I'd be fine with Superman 2.

[Damian Rey]

Poor Superman. Arguably the most iconic superhero of all time is being relegated as a tool to expand DC's cinematic universe. Kind of sad. Seems like a lot of sacrificing of character development in order to rush a movie people may not give a shit about.

[KIRA]

This is dumb Just how the hell are they gonna put these cameos in how the hell long is this movie gonna be?

[Damian Rey]

It's sounding like it's going to be awful.

aaaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[JimmyMess]

whoa.

[Kalyx triaD]

I really like the Tumbler, but I'm a 'missile on wheels' kinda guy. I think they may debut it at one of the Comic-Cons. Maybe the new suits, too.

[VSG]

Ohhhhhhhh shit. I admit I loved the tumbler but this is what Batman is!

[Damian Rey]

And my shorts just blew the fuck off.

FUCKIN YEAH!

[Blitz]

Now that is a Frank Miller inspired costume. Beautiful.

[DaveBrawl]

In love

[Kalyx triaD]

Dare I say... it may actually be grey this time.

Affleck looks jacked.

[VSG]

Beautiful!

[slik]

I like it.

[JimmyMess]

there was a pretty good zoomed in pic of batfleck with some detail. and you can see the stretches in the costume better. Looks real awesome!

[Malfeitor]

Looks so fucking awesome.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hmm... unless there's a new kind of material around the neck, it looks like the lack of head turn may return. It would be strange to take a back step like that, so I'm assuming it's a special material.

[VSG]

lol I was just thinking how Batman is the sole saving grace to the DC movie universe so far and all it took was 2 pictures to make me look forward to this movie a lot more now.

[Krimzon7]

Mind=Blown
Shorts = sticky

[Miotch]

I really don't get what everyone is so excited about. Looks pretty meh to me.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's fine you don't get it.

[Miotch]

Batmobile looks cool, but they've taken a fairly thick human in Afleck and put a big thick suit on him. The fake muscles are probably what's doing my head in. I don't mind the veins and I like that it's probably gray.

Dunno. Eh.

[Rammsteinmad]

I like how this has been 13 pages of meh and people not being too interested and DC panicking to counter the Avengers etc, and now we've got two rather bland pictures of Batman and everyone's ejaculating. Don't get me wrong, the suit looks cool, and I'm excited to see how Ben Afleck does in the role, but we've seen so many Batman films and variations of the costume, that I'm kinda with Miotch on this one.

[alvarado52]

I imagine folks will be divided about this variation. It is undoubtedly a HUGE fan service to those (including me) who loved Miller's Dark Knight.

Keep in mind, we could also see the suit change during the film. Remember in The Dark Knight, he starts with his 'no head turn' suit, then quickly adapts it to what we now know.

[JimmyMess]

Well the first pic of Batman was bound to stir up some shit. We've been waiting for it since the project was announced, and that's one of the big key factors into generating big interest. So I'm not surprised at the load blowing-ness of the thread.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

So is there any word on who the villain of this is going to be? Batman's pretty boring and it's only his villains I find interesting.

[Damian Rey]

I am excited about the suit, and I think Affleck is going to do well with what ever it is he's given. But I have no faith in the film itself, its director, its source writer, or the heads of WB who think it's a good idea to bury Superman in a clusterfuck sequel in an attempt to build a JL film for the sole purpose of competing with Marvel, but without the brains.

But the suit, in and of itself, looks great. It looks grey, it fits in the world of Supes' suit. and it's different from what we have seen the past 25 years. I agree with Kalyx that if the cowl is one piece but the same old late/rubber that restricts movement, it's a step back. But still, it's a sweet shot, IMO.

Lex is getting his movie reboot. Don't think we'll see any Bat villians. Well, not major ones.

This might cause a schism in our tag team

[Corporate CockSnogger]

We may just have to agree to disagree over this one. Batman as a character is absolutely fine and hilarious, when played by Adam West. Other than that, he's incredibly tiresome.

Good job we're super best friends or else this may just cause a rift in the team.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Will Arnett in The Lego Movie put himself up there too.

[Skippord]

I will concede that Adam West is hilarious and would have made a fine Captain Marvel or some other boring shit. Batman however is the best character and should be portrayed with appropriate gravitas by Christian Bale who is the best Batman.

I'm very glad that our Super Best Friendship is preventing this from becoming more of an issue.

[Skippord]

also Lego Movie Will Arnett is a solid Batman

number 2 behind Mr. Bale for sure

[Damian Rey]

That's how I look in a bat suit.

[Damian Rey]

Kevin Smith has stated the recent Affleck pic is not the suit/picture he saw months ago He stated that there's a different suit he saw, and it look just like the DKR suit that was blue and grey.

[Kalyx triaD]

No it's the same suit, he said it was a different picture.

He confirms that the color scheme is in fact the grey and blue colors, something we haven't seen in live action since Adam West.

[Damian Rey]

You're right. Read it wrong I guess. Hmmm..not sure how blue is going to work screen. Wonder if it's a very dark blue, or more traditional.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm thinking at least as mute as Superman's blue. Perhaps darker, navy even, him being the Dark Knight and all.

[DaveBrawl]

Sweet, the blue and grey was always my favorite.

[JimmyMess]

hRRRMMM. Interesting. Yeah if you even look at the bat symbol, its not the same one as in the batman superman teaser logo.

[JimmyMess]

wait... it is... i'm just stupid.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot costume in Batman Vs. Superman movie leaked online. Details of the highly-anticipated suit for the Amazonian princess was revealed by Comic Central City, claiming that the new costume will resemble the one featured in the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game, exactly what was issue #600 comic book costume looked like.

However, the mockup photo of Gal Gadot wearing the costume must be taken with a grain of salt, hence this was not released by Warner Bros. and DC.

[Kalyx triaD]

I dig it; lose the jacket, tho.

[JimmyMess]

I wonder if Zimmer will find it odd to write a new theme for Batman, having already written the music for the Dark Knight trilogy. And what effect that will have on the new Batman theme.

[Kalyx triaD]

He'll go out of his way to make it sound different, but a lot of his stuff has the 'Zimmer DNA' that all eventually sounds like Batman. So it may be hard to avoid. However, his Man of Steel work showed off some range.

[alvarado52]

It may be OCD of me, but the off centered text to logo really bugs me.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's centered to the 'v' but I see what you mean.

[Fox]

With the photos coming out and everything, I, as a huge Batman and Superman fan, should be totally stoked about this movie.

Instead I'm just terrified it's going to be an abomination.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm kinda excited. New Batman, more Superman, Diana's finally on the big screen. I'm just in a 'reserved hype' about it.

[Skippord]

And Jason Momoa will be Aquaman(pardon if this was confirmed a long time ago):

http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/jason-momoa-will-play-aquaman-in-dawn-of-justice-and-we-know-how-it-will-happen

[Damian Rey]

Thought I had heard he signed on for a role. Don't know how I feel about him being Aquaman, since, you know, Aquaman doesn't look like him. Oh well, guess we'll see how it works out.

[Kalyx triaD]

Is Aquaman not a buff blond dude? One hair color change and there ya go.

[Jura]

Well Aquaman is always portrayed as Caucasian but every iteration of Aquaman seems to look the same and is bland so a dark-skinned Aquaman would add some character to the...character.

[Kalyx triaD]

I never saw Momoa as especially dark skinned. Tanned at best.

[Damian Rey]

Tanned, but clearly a man of ethnicity. I don't care enough to be put off by it, so I hope he's given some good material.

[Lock Jaw]

Could see him lending Aquaman some badass credibility.

[Kalyx triaD]

Voices have said Diana's costume will be traditional; red top, golden tiara, silver gauntlets, with oft depicted skirt instead of a bikini bottom. Her lasso (absent lie detector magic), sword, and shield will be her toys.

Grain of salt and all that.

Also, it seems we may have something to see come SDCC.

[Fox]

Doesn't really make sense for Aquaman to be a tan-skinned person considering the fact that he spends most of his time at the bottom of the ocean.

[Damian Rey]

The casting itself doesn't make sense, considering he doesn't look like Aquaman. We'll see I guess.

[alvarado52]

Has the casting in this movie made any sense at all guys? Think about it.

[Damian Rey]

I'm in the minority of actually supporting Affleck as Batman. The Cyborg casting was done well also, IMO. But Aquaman and Wonder Woman, and even Alfred a little bit, have been some head scratchers.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm down with Diana and I don't care who plays Alfred - people should stop pretending to.

The Aquaman thing is whatever. Never read a page of his comics and he's the biggest butt-joke of DC (despite getting kick-ass cred the last ten years). If I had to guess, I'd say they're going for Caribbean warrior king whatever.

[alvarado52]

I'm primarily thinking of the Lex Luther decision

[Kalyx triaD]

I think they explained that it's simply how tech CEOs look now.

[alvarado52]

There are some iconic looks you just don't mess with. Luther is one.

[Lock Jaw]

There are some iconic looks you just don't mess with. Luther is one.

....................... Like Superman.

[Nowhere Man]

There are some iconic looks you just don't mess with. Luther is one.

Luthor had hair for years in Post-Crisis DC.

[Kalyx triaD]

We gonna pretend something's not gonna happen where he gets bald? Is that where we're at?

[Lock Jaw]

No. I don't even know where this hair discussion came from. As far as I know, there hasn't been any news about his look in the film. Could be bald from the very start.

[DaveBrawl]

I thought I read he was going to be bald. Distinctly remember laughing because the article I read called him a skinhead.

[DaveBrawl]

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/06/lex-luthor-to-be-tattooed-skinhead-street-punk - from back in February

[Damian Rey]

The Eisneberg casting was...odd. But he's shown to be a good actor, and, if given good material, I think he will be ok. Irons as Alfred could be good too. It's just a weird casting considering his style.

I still don't understand the Gadot casting. Scrawny, shapeless model with little experience being cast as an Amazon. She just doesn't have the look. Maybe she will be good. Maybe not. I just don't like her look for WW.

In other news, I have read some rumors on an official Batman reboot, titled "The Batman", for 2019. Rumor of course, but that's a mile away from all the current hoopla of the DC universe expansion stuff.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm down for a Batfleck movie. We'll get a proper team then. Dick, Tim, Babs, maybe even Steph and Damien.

[Damian Rey]

I'd like them to reboot Robin. Think it's fair most of the mass public doesn't know Nightwing is the first Robin.

[Lock Jaw]

Think it's fair to assume most of the public doesn't know Nightwing

[Reavant]

Just watched Thor 2 again.... such a disappointment that they didnt get Jamie Alexander to play Wonder Woman

[Kalyx triaD]

Would have been too on the nose, imo. Some casting is actually too obvious to do.

[KIRA]

I'm not sold on the WW casting yet but I love the choice for Aqua man and I still feel this movie is a bit loaded but I'm starting to see how this could shape up. I never thought I'd say this but I hope Superman is more like.....well Superman this time around.

LOL

[Damian Rey]

Bwahahaha. I hope that's a line in an eventual Aquman film.

If having an aged, curmudgeon old Batman is going to work, Clark is going to have to be more upbeat.

Rumors have stated that Supes will be far more positive and his usual self.

[Reavant]

Would have been too on the nose, imo. Some casting is actually too obvious to do.

WHAT!?

It would have been too perfect so it should be done with someone less than perfect. Makes TOTAL sense

[Kalyx triaD]

And it's actually something casting/actors consider. So yeah.

[KIRA]

I'm not getting it how is perfect casting bad?

[Nowhere Man]

It's bad if you're just blatantly copying your rival studio. WB/DC is already facing an uphill battle doing this Justice League project in the wake of the Avengers; the last thing they need to do is make themselves look even more derivative by hiring the exact same actors.

[Lock Jaw]

Just because she played a mythical warrior woman in another film does not make it perfect casting. Just typecasting/unoriginal/uninspired.

[Lock Jaw]

It's bad if you're just blatantly copying your rival studio. WB/DC is already facing an uphill battle doing this Justice League project in the wake of the Avengers; the last thing they need to do is make themselves look even more derivative by hiring the exact same actors.

That too. A lot of people would just say "ha ha ha, look at DC copying Marvel again... can't even find their own actors...."

[Lock Jaw]

Unless they have her show up at the beginning of Nitro and throw the Aether in the trash can. That would be a coup!

[KIRA]

I see. BTW I heard Marvel is pitting Capt America 3 up against Dawn of Justice...that doesn't seem very smart at all I mean I liked The Winter Soldier a lot but Batman and Superman are a Monstrous combo and Capt America dosent have anywhere near their recognition or status as Icons plus there are those of us who've waited our whole lives for this film.

[Lock Jaw]

Captain America has the momentum, though... last movie was really good, and will be coming off momentum of The Avengers 2.

Will definitely hold its own.

[VSG]

Ya, but if I had to decide between Capt America 3 and Batman/Superman guess which one I would go to watch first? Captain America will mostly end up being compared with the DC movie an average person watched a day/week/month ago.

[Fignuts]

It all depends on how the trailer looks. I don't care how iconic Batman and Superman are, a movie that doesn't convince in the trailers isn't going to beat out a follow up to one of the best superhero movies ever.

[Kalyx triaD]

Actually there's been compelling reasons why one of them should back down on that date. A major one being there's simply not enough IMAX screens in the country to support both Justice and Cap 3. If neither backs down I'm betting IMAX themselves would convince them to.

[Rammsteinmad]

To be honest, I doubt Marvel really care. So what if Batman/Superman blows Cap 3 out of the box office, there's still no way DC could ever hope to catch up with what Marvel have already accomplished.

In my opinion, anyway.

[Rammsteinmad]

And judging by most people's reaction on here just to that one Batman pic alone when it was released, the trailer could literally be a two-second clip of that image and a soundbyte and people would probably start ejaculating online about how awesome it's gonna be.

[Rammsteinmad]

Those last two posts looks like I'm angry, but I'm not. For some reason I read them back in an angry voice. :wave:

[Kalyx triaD]

To be honest, I doubt Marvel really care. So what if Batman/Superman blows Cap 3 out of the box office, there's still no way DC could ever hope to catch up with what Marvel have already accomplished.

In my opinion, anyway.

The advances Marvel has made translating a living narrative universe on screen is an accomplishment we fans appreciate at a high level. For the studios, it's still a movie by movie competition. Even if DC/WB is way behind in building that universe, Justice beating Cap 3 will still give Marvel pause. It's why they are very carefully marketing Guardians. It's not like they can spare one flop because 'well we still have a universe ha ha'.

It's case by case. And also why I said long ago that DC building a film universe like Marvel is out of the question. 'Doing it right' is something only we would care about. DC needs a team movie now and they can sweat the world building later.

[Sixx]

http://i.imgur.com/q0mkh6i.jpg

[Nowhere Man]

Well, it doesn't look like it's changed from the MoS suit, but I guess that makes sense. It looks like the colors are a little brighter, though, so that's good.

[Sixx]

Cavill seems more buff. Dunno if it's just the perspective.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah he looks even more buff.

Also the poster is set-up with an awkward background; betting it's a two-piece. Another poster with Batman full-color revealed (using the city backdrop to suggest they are facing each other) will debut at comic-con perhaps.

[Kalyx triaD]

Also the yellow is more prominent in the belt area.

[Nowhere Man]

It looks like all the plastic-looking bits and pieces are a little less prominent in this suit, too-- they're still there, but they don't stand out so much from the rest of the suit now. So that's another improvement.

[JimmyMess]

I feel like this is just an old picture with some photoshopped shit into the background and what not.

[Kalyx triaD]

Don't think they shot the actual Gotham locations yet, so they mocked up the skyline.

[Sixx]

Bit more. I read a description that there's zero dialogue, so we don't get the Batfleck voice.

The chest plat has been made more prominent before, and I think if they wanted to show cleavage they could have. That thing looks tight.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Still haven't seen Man of Steel or any Superman film ever, actually. Might watch it so that I can sort of follow what's going on here though. Have zero interest in Superman really though, and don't exactly like Batman as a character either, but I'll most likely end up seeing this at some point so I may as well start it all now.

Maybe the films will change my opinion of Superman.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The first 10 mins or so of Man of Steel are great, based on Krypton with Russell Crowe as Jor-El, but after that it is kinda "meh;" not even my penchant for Amy Adams could help.

I would love to see a kind of "prequel" leading up to the events of the beginning of the film, in the same style as that seen in MoS.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

You know in that clip up there, the way people are so excited and are all "HOLY SHIT!", is that just over-excitable nerds/people in the "spirit" of the convention? Or is that what it's like in American cinemas in general?

I can kinda imagine going to see a film in America and you've got people cheering and hollering throughout with a bunch of shouts of "Look behind you!" and other nonsense.

Can't imagine anything in a cinema bringing me to the point of loudly screaming "HOLY SHIT" in a crowded room full of people also trying to watch it.

[XL]

They give standing ovations in the cinema over there. So uncouth.

[Sixx]

Remember when I went to see Star Wars Episode 3 and bunch of guys just went absolutely mental when they first showed the Vader armor. Like half the cinema looked back at them and they just slowly shut up.

[VSG]

The closest I came to going holy shit in a cinema theatre was when they showed the Aston Martin in Skyfall. That's about it. No one here really gives much more than a chuckle at the movies.

[alvarado52]

I personally find it annoying when people clap at the end of movies, like we all just sat through some highly sophisticated Broadway play.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sophistication doesn't have a lease on satisfying applause. If people enjoyed something let them at it.

[Damian Rey]

Agreed.

I had the unfortunate opportunity to watch Ep. 3 midnight premier and couldn't here a thing the entire movie. These idiots clapped, cheered, whistled and hollered for everything. They popped for Obi Wan's jobber droid for fuck's sake. Turned me off completely to midnight showings.

[Sixx]

I've only ever been to a midnight showing once (I mean, I've been to some night marathons, but not a premiere midnight showing before). Went to see Lord of the Rings, was never interested in Tolkien but my first were so pumped to see this I decided I might as well go see it. Feel asleep like 10-15 minutes into the movie and woke up during credits. Such a waste of money.

[Jura]

Can someone with decent skills photoshop the Joker's eyes and mouth in the cape? It looks like it has a huge grin so that gave me the idea.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ya know that rib would also implicate you as well, Alva? I was co-signing your post.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Some of the hype for this got me a little bit interested, so I decided to check out Man of Steel.

It was pretty shite. All interest has died.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, seems to be a love it or hate it film.

[Rammsteinmad]

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.

[Nowhere Man]

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).

[alvarado52]

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

[VSG]

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.

[alvarado52]

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.

[Rammsteinmad]

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

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.

[Rammsteinmad]

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.

Especially the bit about Honestly DC's Animated features just own (They got me to like Superman who I had a seething hatred for) The only movie they've made that I cannot stand is Justice League War and even that has some cool things in it, not enough to keep it from sucking though.

[DaveBrawl]

So apparently the release date is changing again, this time to March 25, 2016.
For the second time this year, Warner Bros. has changed the release date for "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice." The studio announced on Wednesday that Zack Snyder's film would arrive on March 25, 2016, six weeks before its previous release date of May 6, 2016. The new calendar position is the third overall for Snyder's "Man of Steel" follow-up: "Batman V Superman" was originally slated to debut on July 17, 2015.

This latest shift gets "Dawn of Justice" away from "Captain America 3," preventing a superhero clash between DC Comics (which owns Batman and Superman) and Marvel (which owns Captain America).

"We're certainly keeping the date there and we'll announce what that movie is, I assume, in the next few months," Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said in an interview with Slashfilm back in March. Feige wasn't lying: "Captain America 3" was revealed as the May 6, 2016 title shortly after his comments.

March is not considered a traditional blockbuster month, but studios have had success in recent years with titles such as "Divergent," "Oz The Great and Powerful," "The Hunger Games," "21 Jump Street" and "Alice in Wonderland."

"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.

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.

[Lock Jaw]

Cape looks brighter too. Real happy about that.

Now if only he would accidentally put his underpants on the outside.

[McLegend]

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.

[Simple Fan]

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.

[Damian Rey]

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.

[XL]

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

[Damian Rey]

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".

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.

[Damian Rey]

My question is why?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So chicks will go to the movie to see the female Robin.

[KIRA]

My question is why?

Well they are using Frank Millers Dark Knight so I guess It's kind of a given.

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Damian Rey]

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.

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Damian Rey]

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.

[Sixx]

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.

[Destor]

sounds like theyre making the gotham pilot in movie form

[Lock Jaw]

This also kinda sorta establishes that there's a Nightwing and Red Robin somewhere out in that universe.

Explain to me how this is.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't know how Zack and the boys are world building this cinematic universe but I don't think they'll leave her as a 'first' Robin. Dick has to be out there as Nightwing. Tim is a coin flip, but hell yeah Dick is out there.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh, Kalyx, never change your wildly jumping to conclusions and presenting them as fact ways.

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay.

[Fox]

Nightwing is probably out there if we're all the way at Carrie Kelley. Red Hood, too.

I kind of like the idea, to be honest. It really opens things up for a future Batman movie with him being so "established" and his history more developed. Some of my favorite Batman moments come from Justice League and the later Batman: TAS season (with Dick Grayson grown up and moved on). I'd love a scene where Nightwing and Batman are arguing with each other as they fight crime together, some kind of bad blood still existing between them, and Carrie Kelley not understanding what happened.

There was always that underlying theme in the later Batman series about how Batman only cared about the mission and never cared about the personal lives of his assistants. I really liked that aspect of the character.

[Nowhere Man]

I think it's cool for the Batman franchise, so they can have the entire Bat-Family at their disposal without having to trudge through origin stories for every one of them.

On the other hand, I think it's stupid to have a grizzled old Batman who's been a superhero for years and years in a setting where every other superhero is brand new. It ruins the whole idea that the Justice League is supposed to be a group of equals, first off, and secondly, it makes all that talk that Pa Kent said in Man of Steel about how Clark is "going to change everything" a load of shit, since Batman was already doing that years before.

But whatever. Snyder's gotta have his Dark Knight Returns memorabilia, so to hell with the continuity that he himself set up one movie ago.

[Fignuts]

I don't think they'll leave her as a 'first' Robin. Dick has to be out there as Nightwing. Tim is a coin flip, but hell yeah Dick is out there.

Why?

[Kalyx triaD]

I can only say I believe Kelly being the only Robin in Batman's apparently established career is not going to be the case. If this version of Batman is akin to the comic version where he would take a partner, it's just obvious to me Nightwing or at least a past Robin has been around. This new DC cinematic universe seems much more open about what they have in the books and ignoring Dick Grayson's tenure doesn't line up with the rest of their consistent world building.

That's not to say they won't have Kelly as the only Robin, they've done big remixes like that before, but in this case I think Grayson certainly exists in this universe. You can see it as me flying off the handle (as I've done in these comic threads) but I think I've been more accurate than otherwise. Only answer I got.

[DaveBrawl]

It ruins the whole idea that the Justice League is supposed to be a group of equals, first off, and secondly, it makes all that talk that Pa Kent said in Man of Steel about how Clark is "going to change everything" a load of shit, since Batman was already doing that years before.

But whatever. Snyder's gotta have his Dark Knight Returns memorabilia, so to hell with the continuity that he himself set up one movie ago.

I don't think so. There's really no way Pa Kent would/could have known about Batman. He's likely still an urban legend at this point in Gotham much less outside of it and even the ones that may have seen him and mentioned him online are basically the equivalent to us and Slender man or Bigfoot and Jonathan did not look like the most internet trend savvy person in the world. Other than that you have the king of Atlantis and a bunch of Amazons that no one has ever knowingly seen, which are also going to be regarded as storybook characters. Cyborg hasn't happened yet and likely neither have Flash or GL. Green Arrow, if he's even a part of the JL in this universe, is still on the island likely. So as far as anyone in Kansas/Metropolis/Krypton knows Clark is the first and will change the world.

[Damian Rey]

It's apparently been confirmed a teaser will be released with the Hobbit.

[Kalyx triaD]

It better.

[Reavant]

I saw filming outside of the Aragon Theater in Chicago. There was a bunch of mask of zorro posters hanging up. Seeing as they are going with the dark knight returns angle here, Im guessing that they are filming the death of bruce waynes parents in that scene seeing as it is the mask of zorro.

[slik]

Oh good. The one thing that has never been covered in any Batman film or tv program ever, the death of Bruce Wayne's parents. I'm really curious to see how this finally plays out since we've never seen it before.

[Lock Jaw]

In a twist, the Waynes stand up after Bruce is taken away by the cops and are like "Finally, we ditched that kid.... let's go spend our money living extravagantly overseas...."

[JimmyMess]

At the risk of sounding like a knob is there anyone who needs to know Batman's origin at this point? Other than establishing pathos I can't see what going back over this will accomplish.

Literally as recent as Gotham's first episode two months ago. Unless they have some direction Burton, Timm, Nolan, and whoever filmed that Gotham scene didn't do. Kinda doubt it.
