[The Shape]

7 or 8 feet seems like a realistic option, he'd still tower over the league without looking too big

This.

 

[Lily Adler]

Simply it strips away free will, enslaving those who hear it to the speaker's will.

 

[ernesth100]

9-10 max. 7-8 minimum. That's me.

 

[Knightfall]

I don't think Darkseid needs to be overly tall anyway. I much preferred his height in S:TAS and JL than his height in BSA. I think Darkseid works best around 9 feet. Not to tall and not to short. Just right.

 

[revenant78]

I really hope that Darkseid has that rock/crater-y 'skin' and has a deep, scary, menacing voice. That's all I want man...it's all I want.

 

[Marz69]

8-9 feet

 

[jokesonm3]

So a range between 8 to 10 feet is what i'm hearing here.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Lois and more BvS from Empire,

Lois returns…and she’s more tenacious than ever:
It’s been a few years since Man of Steel, but Lois Lane hasn’t slowed down. She’ll still stop at nothing to land the story. “She may have some tunnel vision, but she’s got a job, moral standards,” insists Amy Adams. “Though when we meet her before she would do anything to get a story – now Clark has instilled some faith in humanity in her.”

This morning on set, Adams has had her head tilted to the sky as her boyfriend descends to Earth in his grandiose guise. “I think I start some scenes like that,” she laughs. “Her relationship with Clark is the closest thing she has to anything faith-based, you know? Although moving in [with Clark] brings issues.”

However, her priority is definitely the latest scoop. It could be that Lex Luthor is in her journalist crosshairs this time. If the first film found space to ponder the state of journalism in the digital age, this new adventure takes a sidelong glance at how the media can be manipulated by the powerful. “How corporations can use the media,” says Adams, “and different people can use media to spin perception.”

It’s a theme also reflected in the headlines the Daily Planet and Gotham Free Press sun for and against their local heroes. Adams loves how Zack Snyder had widened the horizons to the sequel to encompass so much more of the DC universe, and while she has little interaction with Wonder Woman (“I am too busy sleuthing, but she definitely brings another dynamic”), she does get her Batman scene. “I’ve filmed part of it, it’s a big moment,” she says, one that involves plenty of “wirework and special effects work”.

And if the guys in tights are grabbing the front page, Lane serves a vital function amid their mayhem. Because Superman, as she puts it, is “100 percent earnest”, while Batman is “a little self-serious”. Whereas Lois Lane is the one who is effectively saying, “Really?” “She is the one asking the questions,” Adams says proudly. “She speaks from an audience perspective.”

Bruce Wayne’s lonely Gotham megapad – but her fearless determination to get to the truth of any story is “messing” with Superman’s agenda to become accepted by the rest of the world; it hardly looks good if he’s prioritizing rescuing her over any other human being, yet how can he not? Plus, points out Cavill, “It’s not a normal relationship. How could it be? One of them is an alien.”

Which is something Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) is very curious about. Traditionally Superman’s nemesis, this movie is partly an origin story for their enmity. To begin with, Eisenberg’s Luthor and Batman will be in cahoots against this Kryptonian godhead. “Clark knows who this Lex Luthor chap is,” Cavill says, “but he certainly wouldn’t assume that he had any bad intentions.”

As for Batman? Well, there lies the rub. “Rather than just Alien Vs Predator, where you have two monsters and they’re gonna fight,” says Affleck, here “you have two people who really truly believe they are doing something heroic and necessary in their conflict.” And two rights make a right ding-dong.

In the end, the argument goes like this: Superman thinks Batman’s methods make him as much a criminal as the menagerie of pantomime freaks he’s got locked up in Arkham Asylum (cue: Suicide Squad). “He doesn’t agree with his form of justice,” states Cavill, taking up the cause. “For this farm boy who tries to do things the right way, justice at any cost is not something he can come to terms with.”

He doesn’t want to bully Gotham’s gothic antihero – that would make him as bad as Batman. He’s supposed to be the figurehead for good, an untouchable. So at first, as Clark, he’ll try and expose him in the papers, “show the world what this Batman dude is doing,” says Cavill.

Problem is, Batman has no such qualms. Batman is willing to fight dirty. “Batman has seen the devastation that comes from aliens battling on Earth,” reasons Affleck. “He thinks Superman’s attracting flies to our planet. He is basically a beacon.” Batman has counted the cost of Superman’s so-called heroics. His view is simple: he’s destroyed a city, he’s murdered people, he must be stopped.

 

[jokesonm3]

Cheers Mrs. Wayne.

So media biasism in the DC world goes like this:

The Daily Planet = PRO Superman ANTI Batman

Gotham Free Press = PRO Batman ANTI Superman

in other words unbiased Journalism is dead in DC.

 

[morningmimosa]

"He murdered people, he must be stopped."

And there goes that stupid "Batman is going to kill" thing.

Bruce Wayne sounds like an online Man of Steel hater.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Bruce Wayne sounds like an online Man of Steel hater.

Bruce is really just trolling the DCEU. It's been years and the guy keeps talking about all the destruction.

 

[harryoscop]

Ok supposing that all members of the Justice League average at 6ft, then a 10ft Darkseid would be great.

But a 15ft Darkseid would be overkill.

Yep,10 feet looks perfect.

I'm there with you. I always imagined him to be massive and imposing.

 

[jokesonm3]

Bruce is really just trolling the DCEU. It's been years and the guy keeps talking about all the destruction.

I bet he was against the idea of Superman killing Zod.

 

[Herolee10]

I bet he was against the idea of Superman killing Zod.

By the end of BvS, witness how Bruce will pull off the world's biggest troll moment when Clark extends his hand to shake Bruce's for the first time as a sign of respect, only for Bruce to place a bill into Clark's hand that tallies up all of the destruction and cost of damages that Clark owes him.

 

[Gee]

We're talking Darkseid's height now?

 

[John Locke]

Interesting. So Batman interepts the parademons in his dream as flies from another planet attracted to Superman.

And I bet he's pissed that Superman didn't make any jokes or quips to lighten the mood, thus is evil and needs to die for the sake of humanity.


Humorless Aliens = threat to humanity

 

[jokesonm3]

We're talking Darkseid's height now?

That is way too big lol.

 

[TripleJ]

Simply it strips away free will, enslaving those who hear it to the speaker's will.

And that's something I hope they do.

In FC, Darkseid used technology to enslave humans. It's even more relevant now, especially with all the fancy smartphones and tablets.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Yep,10 feet looks perfect.

Nah.
I want to see Justice League vs Darkseid and his minions, I want it to be more acceptable to have his son Orion in the same size as the league members, I don't want to watch a Justice League version of Attack on Titan.

 

[Gee]

That is way too big lol.

That's what she said.

 

[Enriquespy]

Smaller than Supreme Leader Snoke. Taller than MCU Hulk.

 

[Zordan]

And that's something I hope they do.

when Darkseid arrives it would be like this
