A confrontation is inevitable. There's too much history to ignore.

If there is physical confrontation, I hope it's limited just like in the World's Finest episodes in Superman:TAS

none whatsoever? Why? Isn't that the point of a Batman V Superman movie? Otherwise they'd just call it Batman/Superman or Worlds finest.

I still think things should go into Superman wanting to stop Batman, but Batman tricks him into cooperating with him instead of fighting him, events roll by with them coming to an understanding instead of Superman wanting to arrest him again

No offence, but i think if there isn't an actual full on physical conflict between the two, a large large part of the paying audience is going to be real disappointed. Especially considering Snyder actually set the mood for this whole thing with the famous DKR line.

 

[The Shape]

Batman and Superman coming together is akin to a clash between titans, and rightfully so. However, as we all know, they will need to put their differences aside to battle a common threat by the film's end, which is what I'm most excited for.

Snyder spoke of the nature of the conflict between the two iconic superheroes in his forthcoming movie. "The fun of the idea is to be able to play with that relationship," said Snyder. "Whether they fight and become friends, or whether they're friends and they fight. … Of course, some physical conflicts [will be involved]."

It reminds me how painful it's going to be to avoid the marketing. No doubt they'll be teasing the standoffs and short glimpses of their actual fight. Considering how long I've waited for this, I wouldn't want it spoiled in tv spots or trailers.

I'm with you! As long as the confrontation is a minute long, then everything will be fine.

 

[WBwins]

The movie is Batman Vs Superman not Worlds finest.Its gonna be movie long conflict between the two only to be resolved in the end.Get this clear to avoid disppiontment

 

[I Am The Knight]

A one minute death match

I agree

A one minute death match

A minute can be a lifetime for an alien that can move faster than bullet.

I don't know about "movie long" but there is going to be conflict, a resolution, and then a team up to battle the real threat(s). At least, that is how I hope it goes...

This is how its going to go down

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

I'm ok with Tao as Mercy. Liked her in The Wolverine.

I'm okay with that too. I could buy her as an Amazon too given the way Gal Gadot is/was similarly built. Tao Okamoto was announced pretty early on, I'm thinking maybe Tao's Amazon character leaves Themyscira and Tao's character can be what initially brings Wonder Woman to Metropolis. Maybe Tao's character isn't called Mercy, but she can serve that role. Maybe the villains here are Lex, the Mercy-like character, and Callan Mulvey as Metallo.

Of course itsll go like that.The issue is I see people expecting the conflict to be wrapped up quickly and then TEAMUP for most of the movie.Whereas judging from the title-Its the other way around.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Part of me feels if Batman and Superman have to fight, I really hope they go the Hush way.

Just to remind everyone how awesome Loeb's writing for it and Jim Lee's art for that fight is as well as the scene itself. Damn I wish we could have a live action Hush film.

Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet. But I remembered where I had seen the "Lex Luthor chugs energy drinks all day" came from. It is from Action Comics #2 and Grant Morrison's description of Lex (unless we have moved on from that discussion in the past 20 pages.

 

[SpideyFan866]

I like how his Lex sounds, more and more with each new detail:

http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/06/1...superman-to-include-lex-luthor-s-assistant-m/

According to our source, Lex Luthor does indeed have long blonde hair. However, our source indicates describing his look as Kurt Cobain might be a stretch, because while the hair matches, the wardrobe does not. Our source describes his hair as “a long straight surfer mop.”

Our source also indicates the reports of Holly Hunter playing a U.S. Senator are accurate. Furthermore, our source added that Hunter’s character is visiting LexCorp with a congressman (played by an as of yet unidentified actor). In one scene, Lex has an interaction with the congressman, where Lex seems “to embarrass or be very disrespectful to the congressmen on his way out.”

In a piece of new information that we haven’t seen reported elsewhere yet, our source indicated that Japanese actress Tao Okamoto is playing Lex Luthor’s assistant, who is named “Mercy.” In the comic books and Superman animated series, Mercy Graves is Lex’s personal assistant and body guard, where she is portrayed as highly intelligent and experienced in hand-to-hand combat. Tao Okamoto previously appeared as Mariko Yashida in 2013′s The Wolverine.

Our source also offered that they felt that Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice’s interpretation of Lex Luthor is much better than it might sound from initial descriptions, describing him as “a slimy businessman we can all despise.” Our source indicated, “You are going to hate this guy. You are going to root for him to be punched by Supes when he weasels his way out of legal trouble. He is cocky and confident because he is THAT good at what he does. He's a billionaire who knows he is more powerful than the Senator and Congressman visiting because he's a billionaire.”

Our source also indicated that Lex’s security force at LexCorp ranged from mall cop to SWAT force type security. In regards to LexCorp, our source indicated, “This is a high tech mega billion company with a shiny veneer. It's Apple/Google, colorful and consumer friendly public image but serious potential for Lex's deviousness.”

Drink for every time they mention "our source."


But seriously, I am liking what I'm hearing.

 

[HaplessHenchman]

Of course itsll go like that.The issue is I see people expecting the conflict to be wrapped up quickly and then TEAMUP for most of the movie.Whereas judging from the title-Its the other way around.

So we all agree that this is how it will go down. The only issue is how far into the movie the team up will happen. I'm going to say halfway to 2/3rds through that they will team up.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

My source says Lawrence Fishburne may be in the film.

That's a big time actor. Wonder who he will be playing? Probably a major role. I'm saying he's Darkseid.
