Dat product placement. But seriously, great gifs(especially the third one).

Don't forget about the Fiat in Smallville.

 

[X Knight]

guys, do you think the people in Smallville will know Superman is Clark??

I mean, it's kind of obvious when an alien craft lands in Martha Kent's front lawn and then they threaten her and trash the place.

also, I'm sure they'd remember young Clark saving the bus and older Clark saving people from the tornado.

don't you think they'd recognize that man in the weird outfit walking down the street to confront Faora and Nam-Ek as Clark??!!

She's talking about Carl's Jr. burgers. Just ask ThePowerCosmic.

Oh nawww, I bet Nolan snatched the camera from Snyder's cinematographer and intentionally jerked it so he can sabotage the comic bookyness with his realism!!!

Waaaahhh!!!! Waaaahhh!!! I bet Nolan is responsible for the SEARS product placement too.

Waaaaahhh!!! Waaahhh!!!!

- irrational Nolan haters.

Sure some of them will recognise him. But soon after the tornado Clark skipped town so it will be some years before they have seen him. And with the biggest thing in human history happening (real life alien beings) being a reality everybody would loose focus of it anyway and presume they have all just arrived. Mind due Zod's message says "shelted for some time". Pete Ross and Lana Lang know that Clark has super powers

I like how Superman's watching the people run by.

he's probably thinking....."Hey!! That guy stole my lunch money once!! I'll deal with him later."

I wonder if we will see an adult Pete Ross and Lana Lang........

WB Exec: "So this Nolan guy. Three of his movies have grossed us over 800 million. I think it's time to move on."

I hope WB separates from him soon...he's taking all the fun out of comic book movies and making them realistic and OVERLY serious. You make a movie serious and still make it fun...start making comic book movies, not movies where comic book characters exist in the real world

Listen here, if it were up to WB Chris Nolan would be the Godfather of all DC's properties. Like it or not, he's the reason Batman is once again a hot commodity and why Superman is back with a thump. Be grateful, and stop acting like a whiny typical fanboy who thinks he knows better.

Probably not until a sequel if at all ... maybe Pete & Lana are involved with Lex like they was in some comics with Lana & Lex Corp and government stuff with Pete. Who knows. It would make things interesting for Superman.

If that were the case then Kryptonians would be able to fly on Krypton as well, but judging by what we know, they clearly can't on their own.

I go back to the dream sequence Kara had in the prequel comic...maybe a foreshadowing of them doing something they did know they could do....

You mad? Making Fantastic Comic Book Characters like Superman exist in a hyper realistic world is a miles better cinematic experience. To me The Avengers felt like a TV Movie.

as long as everything doesn't have that uber-realistic feel to it. I mean Goyer said we didn't set out to make a comic book movie...mistake number 1, make it a damn comic book movie

That's fine and all ... but find someone who can good films with DC characters (maybe Snyder is one) ... it's hard to get away from your cash cow, whose format and style has made billions. This is the style that's currently making DC 'different' than Marvel.

I'd love to see Snyder head thing up with DC for WB...that would be awesome

You're entitled to your opinion but

just tired of Nolan and everyone worshiping the ground he walks, or hovers above...

Batman movies. He doesn't control the comic book film industry.

I hope he doesn't starting running the comic book movie division for WB...I mean come on now

For me, Nolan is the "mama bird" of DC at this point. I want him to transition out of his position for CBM, but am rather grateful for the TDK trilogy and EXTREMELY optimistic for MOS. As for the rather serious tone, at this point, it's what DC does best at. Every time they TRIED to make a popcorn flick since the 2000's, critics and audiences have lashed out at them. Sure it probably has to do with the films' quality in and of themselves, but DC would be taking a missed opportunity of creating deep cinematic experience as opposed to the 'light' Marvel films.

So yeah, I want him aboard Wonder Woman, but barely, and don't want him influencing more pure comic-bookish movies like World's Finest and Justice League. He's a skilled storyteller, but he's not fond of the genre. Goyer's fond of the genre, but doesn't generally do well alone. And Snyder can bring all the "money shots" fans want while adhering to Goyer's and Nolan's world.

SO MUCH POTENTIAL!

I agree, don't make popcorn flicks like Batman and Robin and Batman Forever, which I thought was ok. Take the film serious but have fun with it. I honestly think Snyder and Goyer would make a better team than Nolan and Goyer. Get people who love comics to make the comic book movies. It makes sense to me

Maybe Lord Nolan doesn't know what's best....

The fans who have been READING the comics for YEARS who know these characters inside and out know these characters better than Nolan. I was glad to hear Roven say that the producers actively read places like this and take our ideas into mind for future installments

Honestly, I don't think there is anything worse that a movie company could do than listen to the ideas of the nerds online ... we will go regardless, if they cater every movie to us, it could be ugly for the wider general audience. Need people working on the film who know comic lore ... and can relate it to everyone.

First your on an internet forum fan site worshiping a fictional character that does not exist. I never understood how so many on this board could get mad that a "real" person has a lot of fans. But it's okay for others to worship comic characters?

Honestly I understand that there are nut Nolan fans out there. But I'm tired as much of the haters that keep saying how they are "tired" of all of this stuff. But it happens any time someone gets too big. If Snyder gets too big sooner or later on these forums people will be saying they are "tired" of him. People become complacent way too quickly around these parts.

My point is fighting fire with fire is pointless and both are flawed in views.

Anyways back to the actual MOS stuff, glad to see all three of them had input, and love the Sears thing from today. I'm just so mad this will be the first big film I'm jacked for that I can't see at midnight/opening day.

WB firing Nolan? Funny, very funny. Right now they're begging the guy not to ditch their studio after they fired his friend Alan Horn last year.

That was the worst decision they could have ever done. But my Star Wars fan in me is so glad that he is now doing all that stuff with Disney/Lucasfilm.

But I'm sure they will keep Nolan/Goyer around for MOS 2/3 at least. Which I hope we get. I want Brainiac soon.

I enjoy Nolan's movies, but I don't think he is an all powerful god. With that said, I appreciate them having these stories take place in a "realistic" world. I like smart movies that I can relate to. I also like popcorn flicks. I have marvel for fun enjoyable popcorn superhero flicks. I have WB with Nolan for smart "realistic" superhero flicks. If they were all the same, it'd be redundant. These movies aren't just for fanboys.

Plus Nolan is only a producer, and we act like he's directing this.

Honestly, it's time for Paul Dini to come back from Marvel and pen some live action DC films.
