Damian Rey 06-25-2014 02:21 AM

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.

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

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

Nowhere Man 06-26-2014 04:43 PM

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 06-26-2014 04:44 PM

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

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...."

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

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 06-26-2014 05:03 PM

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 06-26-2014 06:11 PM

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 06-26-2014 06:26 PM

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 06-26-2014 06:48 PM

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 06-26-2014 06:55 PM

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 06-26-2014 06:56 PM

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 06-26-2014 06:57 PM

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:

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.

Nowhere Man 07-03-2014 12:21 PM

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 07-03-2014 12:23 PM

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

Kalyx triaD 07-03-2014 12:45 PM

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 07-03-2014 12:49 PM

Also the yellow is more prominent in the belt area.

Nowhere Man 07-03-2014 02:10 PM

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 07-03-2014 03:42 PM

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

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 07-27-2014 01:51 PM

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 07-27-2014 02:03 PM

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 07-28-2014 05:19 AM

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 07-28-2014 07:34 AM

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

Sixx 07-28-2014 07:36 AM

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 07-28-2014 08:27 AM

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 07-28-2014 03:19 PM

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 07-28-2014 03:28 PM

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

Damian Rey 07-28-2014 03:43 PM

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 07-28-2014 03:57 PM

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 07-28-2014 04:02 PM

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.

Corporate CockSnogger 07-29-2014 04:00 AM

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 07-29-2014 05:56 AM

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

Rammsteinmad 07-29-2014 12:35 PM

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 07-30-2014 01:59 AM

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 07-30-2014 12:47 PM

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

VSG 07-30-2014 01:25 PM

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 07-30-2014 03:23 PM

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 07-30-2014 04:33 PM

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

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.

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 08-06-2014 05:46 PM

So apparently the release date is changing again, this time to March 25, 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.

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.

Damian Rey 08-22-2014 05:56 PM

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".
