Same can be said for Superman. Superman can never inspire people like Batman does.

They inspire people in different ways. Batman, for instance, inspires people to keep fighting and be determined.

So does the rest of the League. Superman isn't the only one that protects the world. Why do you keep ignoring the other Leaguers?

Aquaman rules and protects 70% of the planet. WW has her own battles to fit, with the Old Gods and their enemies.

Well, he was much more of a *****e in Silver age (than he is now).

Yeah, but not a lot of writers do that (with good intention mind you...people would be responding differently if they were portrayed in comics). I would say the best way to deal with that is create fictional problems in the fictional countries of DC and have Superman deal with that.

(And let it challenge Superman!).

Aquaman is a King, WW is a queen, both are natural leaders (than Kal could ever be!). Hal is the leader of the Corps, an organization far more vital to the galaxy.

But, none of them are the leaders of the League. No one is. Like I said, the league is like Arthur's round table with everyone representing the Knights (which you did ignore in your arguments ).

Oh ok I see where you're coming from. I'm talking about in universe whIle you're talking about our reality.

My contention was since Batman works in the shadows and stays on the down low worth morally questionable methods, he can't inspire the public of the in universe as Superman who works in the light, has a face, an image and something people can latch onto. So in universe it makes sense for him to lead. Moses wasn't a King, Ramses was. But guess who was the more natural and the better leader?

But in our reality, we know so much about the mythology and motivations of these characters so we can choose which one appeals to ua. Which is your argument I take it!

I agree with that!

The best way to write Supes in IMO is give him issues that mirror our own with fictional liberties. That way you can offer some solid social commentary whIle testing his morality and pushing his ethics.

Still shocked we haven't gotten a poster of the trinity together.

There was a rumor going around that Terrio was reading up on Arthurian legend while brainstorming for JL since someone mentioned the KOTRT. Perhaps we'll see a little influence there.

thats sounds awesome
still can't believe we are getting Justice League next year

not surprising since most of the advertising is about Batman v Superman

A Trinity poster would be nice to advertise the Dawn of Justice subtitle

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Well if Terrio is basing JL on KOTRT Supes is King Arthur. Let the dick measuring recommence.

*ninjas out of thread like the Batman*

What I thought when Snyder mentioned a 'Knights of the Round Table' feel for the Justice League.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

You know what bugging me with merchandise?

As cool as the mech Bat-suit is, they are plastering it on everything. There have been some cool t-shirts with the trinity on them, but they all have Bat-Fleck in the armour suit.

I'd much rather he was in the regular outfit.

EDIT: I did manage to get this though.

25 days or less (depending on ticket choice) till Batman v Superman

Um.. 20 days or less, you mean.

 

[DaJanksta]

lol. The 21st cannot come fast enough.

 

[Clark-Kent]

Someone didn't read ( )

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

Superman aspires us to be better. He is the epitome of where we all should hope to be.

 

[Tensor]

Early screening 21st March, i.e, 16 days from today.

Worldwide release 25th March, i.e, 20 days from today.

AKA 20 days or less.

What was your math again?

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Um.. 20 days or less, you mean.

Check your signature 20 is less than 25 by the way

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Are you nerds arguing about the days? haha you guys are awesome to watch.

 

[Tensor]

Check your signature 20 is less than 25 by the way

You don't say.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

If Terrio makes a good script, the movie will be average, if it's truly great, then we have a good chance of seeing a truly great movie.

Zack's been wanting to bring to life TDKR for what could be three decades. I'm not worried about the movie.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

You don't say.

Trying to break the tension

 

[steve4991]

My bands first gig tonight, spring break next week, and BvS the week after. Can March get any better?

 

[Broseph44]

Still shocked we haven't gotten a poster of the trinity together.

Umm not shocking at all actually.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Says pot to kettle...

Tension? I didn't realize Gal was here.

 

[Clark-Kent]

Depends when you are seeing it really. Most will catch it within a week of the worldwide release date I'd say. Looking forward and hope the actual fight between them is really long, I feel we've seen a lot of that fight

 

[steve4991]

I don't think the trinity should be the focus of mainstream marketing because it's not a trinity film. If anything, it makes sense to me with what we've gotten as far as magazine covers and stuff. But I wouldn't be surprised if we got something after the film tho, like an Enos still from the final battle of the trinity

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Says pot to kettle...

I was making a joke out of it. Someone has no humor
