What didn't you like about it, Wishbone?
The CGI was pretty bad in my opinion, and that took me out of it a lot.

I also don't like a lot of the story implications that seem to be hinted at in the trailer. Batman seems waaaay too dark here. I'm a fan of a darker Batman like what we're currently getting in the comics, but I'm not a fan of the full on 80's "I'm edgy as fuck" Batman that they seem to be going for here.

There's too much revenge motivation going on, and that just isn't Batman to me. This Batman seems even more angsty and pissed off than the Dark Knight Returns Batman that he's based on. I mean it looked like he flat out branded a dude with the Bat-symbol at one point in the trailer. And then we had the original trailer with the "Do you bleed?" line which is completely out of character.

Then we have the problem with Man of Steel Superman being in it, and I absolute hate everything about that version of Superman. He's out of character as hell. He's too emo, and he's smaller than Batman in this which is ridiculous IMHO. Also the line from his mother, "Be their hero, or don't. You don't owe this planet anything" was just awful. That is completely out of character for the Kents. The whole reason Superman is a hero is because his parents raised him to believe that he is obligated to help people thanks to his amazing gifts, yet this version of the Kents has told him to hide his powers, possibly let a school bus of kids die just to hide his powers, and now tells him that if he wants he should just tell the world "fuck you" and walk away. It's like this isn't even Superman anymore.

And Wonder Woman... Oh god Wonder Woman... Physically she's completely wrong for the part. She's a god damn twig. And even if you get past the awful casting there's bound to be story problems. I mean, sure, we don't actually know anything about her yet from just the trailers, but if they couldn't even get Batman and Superman right then I honestly have no faith in them getting Wonder Woman right.

Finally I just hate how much of a cluster fuck this movies turning out to be. They're doing the second movie in their universe and they're already pulling the "Avengers card". It's too soon to be cramming this much into one movie. We're getting characters we've never seen before just popping up. There's no way they can fit character development for all of them into one movie, even if it's three hours. This should have been Batman vs Superman only. Having the others is just stupid. And now it looks like we may even see more than one villain. They're setting themselves up for disaster here.

Anyway those are just my thoughts. Sorry for the ranty essay style post. If you actually read the whole thing thanks! lol
