BvS All Things Batman v Superman: An Open Discussion - - - Part 247

[DerekLake]

any bold predictions for the trailer? i'll say aquaman will be shown.

Probably not Aquaman, as I imagine his stuff is the most spoilery out of them all.

If I could express a wish, I hope we get a bit more of the Superman side of things: as in, more of what the teaser trailer was getting at. I really, really loved that focus on Superman and how the world is reacting to him. The last two trailers were all about Bruce Wayne's perspective on Superman. But I liked how the last trailer at least went a little bit toward balancing each character's view of the other.

They need to show more of Diana, Lois and Senator Finch. Especially Lois. Maybe a bit more about her part in this. I think we've seen more than enough of Batman's side of this film. We haven't really seen much of what Superman himself is doing (when he's not challenging or fighting Batman).

All I want to see from Batman in this upcoming trailer is him fighting criminals. Other than that, I want to see more Clark, Superman (doing hero stuff), more Lois, a bit more Diana, more Lex (his real persona, not his public one), more Alfred, and I wanna hear some of that sweet soundtrack. Oh, and more Gotham. I wanna see how Gotham looks.

This would look glorious in a movie.

There it is. That suit is perfect. All i would change is maybe making the suit more of a navy blue

 

[jokesonm3]

You know something we haven't seen a lot yet? scenes of Batman fighting outside of his armor, beating criminals down to a pulp. that's something i would like to see a glimpse on in the next trailer.

 

[Jaxon]

I'd like to see a shot at the end where you just see Aquama 's trident coming out of the water.

 

[The Batman]

The film has a ton of heart and emotion, I've heard people say it's soulless. They can't have been paying attention.

Or....they just thought it was soulless.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I really hate the idea of our first introduction to Aquaman being him in captivity at Lexcorp. It makes him look like a b**** the first time we meet him.

I know he was introduced the same exact way in the DCAU in his STAS episode, but still..

i just hope it's executed well if true

For the most part I would agree with that. But in a situation where you are passionate about a character, but that character is used horribly I can't avoid it. I love Spiderman but SM3 and TASM 2 were just terrible uses of the character, and his villains I enjoy too. (how could Venom have been done so poorly while Sandman was so good?) What annoys me in the case of many MoS haters is that they don't have a problem with the character but choose to hate because of Snyder and other outside details rather than the in film material. When I hear ignorant statements like "this movie will suck be cause Hack Snyder is a bad director" it frustrates me because there is no substance to the statement; there's nothing to exemplify or support their claim.

I love MoS, though there are a few parts that could have been better. I can see where some people feel that there is a lack of first person character building. I personally don't see anything wrong with explaining Supermans character through people like father Kent, Lois, and Jor El. I also didn't see need to extensively develop characters like Perry and Col. Hardy. Last, there was a few weak lines like taunting Zod about power overload, but the very strong majority was well written. It finally brought the epic scale fight that a Superman fight should be, not just once but twice. Combined with all the nice easter eggs, I don't see how any Superman fan didn't enjoy the film.

I smell what you're cooking. And you're largely right. I'm talking about the vocal, very vocal, minority that just show up to hate. It's ridiculous.

This would look glorious in a movie.

I know lots like this, and that would be a fine suit and CGI body, still... That face just looks silly for some reason. I know it's a Bardem inspired design and everything else looks good but that facial design just seems incongruous with everything else for whatever reason to me.

 

[Gee]

 

[morningmimosa]

Seductiveseid.

 

[jokesonm3]

ffs cover your legs Mister!

He needs to look more like a statue, less like a grey human

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

It's even worse when you realize he's talking to his son with his legs spread in the recliner picture.

Orion: "Jeez, dad! I mean, really? The Lord Of Apokalips can't afford some Fruit Of The Looms?!"

 

[Sawyer]

The knee-high boots and the upskirt shot.

lol what a skank.

 

[PopeAdrian37th]

Orion. Can you grab pop pop a beer? ...Orion?

 

[Rorschach2012]

I wonder what the chances are of them using Union Terminal in the DCEU...

It's where Robin's parents were killed in Batman Forever

and it's the influence for the Hall of Justice

 

[Guts]

Maybe the Forever People can be in the Justice League movie.

 

[BH/HHH]

Or....they just thought it was soulless.

Oh what a shock you respond

 

[jokesonm3]

Or....they just thought it was soulless.

You know as a fellow DC fan you should be rooting for DC to have some success!

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Man... I know it's gonna rub people the wrong way but... Outside of Darseid, Dessad and Bg Barda, the designs for the New Gods characters is just so funky and goofy. I think they all would need to actually have an overhaul of some kind. I mean, even Wilkinson couldn't save the Forever People's costumes if he tried to make designs that were true to the Kirby originals.

 

[TDKR1977]

Oh what a shock you respond

Several people have pointed out that it wasn't soulless. Again, haters will hate. Oh, well.

Of course it looks goofy, look at these folks from new genesis, fools got big heads that don't support their bodies.

And the first introduction to Hal is of him working at taco bell, still paying for his sins.

That one especially
