Watched it a couple more times today and checked out the Collider video. I think it would be great if that was Lex Luthor's public persona just like Bruce has his own. Then behind closed doors, he's more serious and....bald. But his scene with Lois and Superman at night, when Doomsday is about to be revealed for the first time, well, he's the same character. So like John Campea said, if Lex is like that throughout the whole movie it's going to be incredibly annoying and borderline Edward Nygma circa-1995.
The more i see Doomsday's design, the more i cringe. It's just really bad. Why not go all the way and make it closer to the comics? Unless the creature develops more and more, then cool. But so far, if you're going to reveal Doomsday to the masses, why not go all the way?
I have a feeling we're not getting too much dialogue in this film coming from Wonder Woman. Might be a good thing, or a bad thing, depends on her performance overall and what she can offer in her solo movie.
Zero problems with Batman, or Superman for that matter, because everything they showed with him was expected. As far as Cavill is concerned.
Amy Adams always looks like she has no idea how she got the part. It's a look on her face throughout MoS and even in that one shot in this trailer. Im just not used to that coming from her, with her other films. She's always so invested in her characters, but as Lois, she's FINE. It's nothing "bad' really, but she always seems a bit off and not that interested. It's always like a "my god im really in a movie like this" kinda face.
I did NOT even notice Darkseid's parademons in the trailer. I watched like it north to 10 times last night, and i didn't catch them in the desert/nightmare sequence until the guys from Collider mentioned it. So now im hoping it's a Bruce nightmare early on in the film, and a PREMONITION. Maybe that post-apocalyptic Mad Max-esque world will happen in the Justice League films with Darkseid as a dictator on planet earth, possibly even mind controlling Superman. Imprisoning the rest of the Justice League. Part 1 could end with Darkseid taking over completely and tossing them in separate dungeons after a good battle. Like a slight variation of Bruce's dream, with some details shifting here and there but pretty damn close. Then Part 2 is all about the Justice League escaping and bringing a war to Darkseid and winning it. I would love it if George Miller took over Part 2 in that case. Zack can mess with a solo Superman movie later on, with Brainiac.
Campea also brought up a cool idea. It's obvious that they showed us the final act in a nutshell with Doomsdays reveal and Trinity coming together (poor choice btw to spoil this), but what if it's a swerve? And it's in the second act? With a second fight happening at the end (the armored suit)? I seriously doubt it and believe WB f**ked up big time by blowing their load too early, but how cool would that be!? As Kristian Harloff said, i dig the Batman vs Superman trailer, i dont dig the Dawn of Justice trailer. Cuz that's what it felt like. That's what i was thinking last night while watching it. Trailer should have ended at 2 minutes.
