This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]508887[/split]
Original Batman v Superman Comic Con footage of them on the roof running towards each other for the Super Bowl spot.
This is actually a really good idea for a spot. Short, sweet, and to the point. Maybe just some added footage for dialogue purposes and to see Batman in the regular batsuit so we know the GA doesn't think a robot just flipped on the bat signal.
"It’s a scary character to tackle," Suicide Squad director David Ayer says of Joker. "This iteration of him, people will realize there really is a continuity of history — there is a lot of respect for what the Joker represents, who he is as a character. He is the best known villain in fiction so there’s an incredible responsibility there to also be faithful to what he is but at the same time push him into this next world, next time, next phase."
Ayer adds that "people kept their distance" from Leto when he was in 24/7 Joker mode. "I love helping actors find what methodology works best for them. It’s like tailoring a suit — it’s not one size fits all. But it really made an event when he would show up on set. There was almost a pageantry to him, which did translate into the character and the power on screen he has."
Leto even freaked out Ayer a few times.
"Big time. The hairs stand up on the back of your neck," says the director, a longtime comic-book who grew up on the old 1960s Batman TV show. " If you're a Batman fan, you have to love/hate the Joker because he’s the best nemesis ever. Just to have him on one of my film sets, it was a very memorable thing for me."
While Ayer had Joker, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director Zack Snyder got his Dark Knight foe, played by Ben Affleck (who also makes an appearance in Suicide Squad). Snyder, a Squad producer, never was on the Toronto set with Leto "but I was very much looped in on the crazy stuff happening with that," he says, laughing.
What Leto brings to the Joker — the first on screen since the late Heath Ledger's Oscar-winning The Dark Knight baddie — is a fearless nature, according to Snyder.
"The commitment to the role, you’re going to see that really shine through in a way that you’re not used to seeing actors in movies really go all the way with (in) every little moment and every little breath," Snyder says. "You’re going to get taken on a journey with Jared that I don’t know that everyone’s ready for but I think it will be amazing."
It fits with the short clips they have been doing for the TV spots.
Flip on the switch, Superman shows up in the signal. Lands, they run to clash... logo.
I really wish the first look at the JL came from Snyder himself rather than a random promo still for a tv special that we were unsure about for awhile.
And her strap. Going down the wrong direction I think.Just noticing that WW's emblem is facing the opposite way in this piece as well.
Why does it matter who it comes from, it would still be the same ****ing photo of this was the first release we'd be getting. I don't get some of you.

Watching Dark Knight Returns part 2!!! Getting so pumped for the DCEU
He's directing right? I keep forgetting who's directing what after SS
WW: Patty Jenkins
JL: Snyder
Aquaman: James Wan
Batman: Affleck (I believe that was reported by a reliable source, but we'll call it unconfirmed, but likely, for now)
The Flash: Seth Grahame-Smith
Everything else: currently unknown
I know it seems like he's done with big movies and he denied involvement but I'd love George Miller to do the next solo Superman.
