Not surprising. You don't bring in Affleck JUST to act these days.

Well we all know Ben is in this too. I cannot see him not taking some sort of advisor role if needed because his rep is also on the line, but I don't see that role being credited.

And he came through....without any credit! WTG Affleck!
 
I never thought they would bring in another writer. I'm glad to be wrong!

When you say that Zod doesn't want New Krypton to have a yellow Sun, you are saying that he is so enamoured of Old Krypton that he lacks the originality to imagine a better world, which is fine. You argue that Zod is an ideologue, and a conservative in the traditional sense, i.e. one who wants to maintain things as they are. Part of the reason he is this way, perhaps the only reason, is that he is genetically engineered and bred to be the defender of the existing power structure, of a precisely defined "Krypton".

However, what Zod does in his rebellion makes him a ... rebel and a reformer, and not a conservative. He is not idealising the old power structures, he is visualising a better Krypton, specifically one with the problematic bloodlines removed. He is a revolutionary, not a conservative.

You're very hung up on it being solely a genetic decision when it's equally cultural. Just like most religious people who grow up believing their religion is true, so was Zod culturally raised to believe in his 'purpose' just like religion, some break free of this constraint like jor el and Lara. It's about a society being so ingrained in their roles that it went as far as being bred to be more efficient at the task you will be assigned, but it's not a prison in the strictest sense as you seem to see it.
 
I literally just sighed in relief.
 
Hearing this, I am more optimistic for this film than I have been over these past few weeks. But hopefully this writer can transition well into writing something that seems like more is going on.
 
Couldn't be happier after reading that.
 
Just joining the choir of people who just breathed a HUGE sigh of relief at this news. The dialog in Argo was excellent and sharp. 'Fleck knows what he is doing. He loves Batman. I can't wait for him to do a solo movie that does Bats & Gotham real Justice, and I'm sure the Bats we get in BvS will be as interesting a take on the character as we have ever seen outside the comics. Thank freaking God!

Does he love Superman though?
 
Yep, just what I wanted to hear. Goyer is always better when a stronger writer is along with him.
 
I figured it would get to a point where Goyer is spread too thin; it just happened sooner than I thought.
 
I think that Goyer is still writing the basic story (which he's good at). Terrio & Affleck are probably simply polishing some things up and working on some of the dialogue.
 
which is good I hope this also means the title will represent Batman and Superman. I just want a film that makes both fans happy
 
^ We don't know how big her role is. She just might be one of the best parts of the movie :)
 
Oh thank God. My optimism for this movie just skyrocketed. Granted, I'm still kind of skeptical, mostly because I'm still one of those guys who's worried that the inclusion of a new Batman this early on will cause something of a cluster**** in the plot, and also I'm still really not a fan of Zack Snyder at all, but already this movie has a lot more going for it than it did a week ago. I'm confident that I will at least be much more entertained by this than I was by Man of Steel.
