All Things Superman and Batman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 47

For an interview, that guy inserts way too many of his own ideas into his questions/statements.

Also, of course this Batman interpretation is going to be TDKReturns inspired: The movie was announced with a reading from TDKReturns, it's tentatively called Batman VS Superman, and we have an older bigger weary Batman.

Our criticisms aside, this was much better than the Kevin Smith interview, which was 90% about Kevin Smith.

That's the way he is. Over at BOF, he's the "forum expert", and is extremely wordy. You can ask him a simple yes or no question, and he'll give you a good 7-10 paragraph answer.

Snyder is basically saying, that he intended for another Superman movie with kryptonite being sent to Bruce Wayne at the end of it, but because he mentioned Supes fighting Bats for fun at a meeting...that it's now Batman vs Superman. All because WB cant wait for money. They saw the concept and ran with it right away instead of waiting. Not saying it's wrong but now it's a fact.

It just sounds like he's being honest he sounds very excited about this. He's not like JJ Abrams who doesnt say two words about his movies until they're released. Snyder is telling us upfront he's seen the costumes and has the picture hanging on his wall and he wants to show us but can't. I appreciate that honesty.

Also, its sounding like most of the costume tests so far have been with stand-ins and not Affleck and Gadot yet.

well I do agree with them on this....do I really want the first time I see Batman and Superman together on film to be a grainy iPhone or Galaxy S5 pic or the one WB/DC/Zack Snyder wants us to see?

But a Ben Affleck/Batman photo would definitely make tomorrow a *really* Good Friday!!!

There is a con going on this weekend

Disney made The Avengers instead of The Incredible Hulk 2 because they can't wait for money. It's not wrong, but it's a fact.

Like who sent the Kryptonite to Bruce? Lex? That's something that did happen in Lex Luthor: Man of Steel.

Interesting comments on Superman, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch. Turns out that there's an ultimate version of Watchmen in the works, so I won't be buying the director's cut ... typical Zack Snyder lol. The journalist refers to feminist praise of Sucker Punch, and these great articles, and Snyder says, "send me the articles", I'd like to read them too.

I think you mean Sucker Punch? the Ultimate cut of Watchmen is my all time favorite CBM.

I bet WB has this planned out to a tee. SDCC will be when they release the suits UNLESS someone gets a spy pic in before then (which based off of Snyders comments Im doubting will happen) in which case they will immediately release it online.

[DA_Champion]

Pretty competent critique of Sucker Punch linked from the interview.

VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

Not sure what goes for facts around here(on on the internet) but that actually sounds like typical fandom conjecture to me. Particularly the part about WB.

So people want to make money?

I'm disgusted.

WB does have this planned out to a tee. That how studio marketing works. It would be interesting to find out who set up the interview. If Forbes set up the interview then nothing is significant...if WB set it up we could see the beginnings of a pre production marketing ramp up

I know if I was in a story meeting after making a pretty successful Superman movie and someone said "What about Batman"... we aint talking about nothing else.

Considering what DKR did for the property during those times and it's reigning significance..and it's sweet animated film. I personally don't think it's all that bad.

I'm personally more interested in that batman than I am another baleman. Can't speak for everyone though.

Not sure all of that is "fact."

WB waiting? Haven't they done enough of that? It's about time they got on with it, imo. It doesn't have to be billion dollar high art all the time. You'll have hits and misses and mixed in any franchise.

[Rorschach2012]

i ****ing love TDKReturns, so i look forward to seeing what elements of that story are put into this movie.

My only hope is that Superman isn't portrayed how he is in TDKR

I doubt it. Superman in MOS didn't seem like he'd be the government's lap dog anytime soon.

If I had to guess...Lex manipulates Superman and Batman into conflict so that he can run his master scheme without their interference.

This. Im not a giant Superman fan but even I know that Superman got shafted in TDKR.

Good idea, that sounds pretty awesome.

I'm having such a hard time trying to figure out what this films plot will be.

I have no idea how Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor, and presumably another Superman villain like Metallo or Doomsday will work into this story
