Am I the only one a little worried this films getting a little too Dark Knight Returnsish?

Well until we see otherwise, we just have an older Batman possibly fighting a younger Superman once in a movie that was announced using a quote from the book.

But the circumstantial case to be worried isn't very strong.
Older Batman
Superman and Batman fighting probably once. Who knows.
Announcement using quote and teaser with Batman wearing familiar armor.


The issue is that it's the beginning of a DC movie universe.
There would need to be more in place imo for it to be more TDKRish.
Superman is young and isn't established as an arm of the U.S. government. His statement at the end of MoS would go against that. Superheroes will be coming out into the open it seems, not going into hiding or retiring.

Is the worry here that Snyder will make Superman look bad by having him defeated by Batman?
We have no reason to think that. It just wouldn't make sense to start a new universe with Superman in a film that ended relatively controversially leading into a film where the results of the first film are dealt with(the destruction ) only to have this new symbol of hope in the form of Superman, buried(wrestling term) by Batman.
Is it possible? Sure, I guess. But pretty much anything is at this point.

I just don't see enough to think the book is THAT much of an influence yet.
 
I would be concerned if they mentioned him as being 50. Starting out Batman in the JL at 50 would be ridiculous. I'm hoping they just keep him at Affleck's age. Experienced but still not far from his peak ability.
 
I think these are our 9 DC films:

Justice League
Shazam
Aquaman
Wonder Woman
Sandman
Batman reboot
Green Lantern/The Flash: Brave and the Bold
Man of Steel sequel
Justice League 2
 
So is
Bvs
Aquaman
Wonder Woman
Sandman
Shazam

Flash (TV)
Arrow (TV)
Teen Titans (TV
Gotham (TV)
Constantine (TV)
Supergirl (TV)

DC's plan? if so I'm kinda disappointed..


Then there are some in development stage like - Justice League, Legion of Super Heroes, Justice League Dark .

Also, there's a good chance that we will get another solo Batman movie (with Ben Affleck) and a solo Superman movie after JL (I call it MOS 2).
 
The guns are probably the one thing that I don't like on the new batmobile.
My problem isn't simply that they're guns though.....it's their placement
Looks really odd to me.

What makes you say that?

That's fair. I don't know if that is an attack mode or what. But it'd be better if they were hidden and Batman would just press a button to activate them. :hehe:
 
I'm hyped for Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Flash
I'm not hyped for Gotham, Constantine, Arrow, Supergirl, Sandman and Teen Titans.

They should be in the DCCU! (besides arrow and Flash)

:huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh:



You...you can just get out.
 
I'm wondering if the guns flip around and are concealed?

They spin inward:

That particular rumor has already been dismissed as BS.
 
I hope I end up liking it a lot more once I see BvS. The batmobile is not a make it or break it item though for me. I'm quite happy about everything thus far for the movie!

wtf sandman?
Aquaman if done right could be pretty amazing. Never liked the flash but a team up witg GL could be good.

Michael Uslan already confirmed he's mid-40's.

You might have been disappointed regardless of the plan.

47 is totally different from 50. I could deal with a 47 year old Batman but not a 50 year old Batman, the difference is the world.

/sarc.
 
Anyone else hoping Supergirl & hopefully teen titans will end up on abc family after pretty little lairs? that would be a good sunday block. I'm thankful to be living in a time where comic book movies & tv shows are so great.
