cool articles! i can't wait for this movie

[Leo656]

That thing is f*cking amazing. I thought nothing would ever eclipse the Tumbler in my heart... but I'unno...

Good to know I was right about predicting the basic plot of the movie, as I am about all things. In seriousness, though, it's not hard to figure out. I mean that's how like every "team-up" story works.

Spoiler:

All that's left to be confirmed is if the "new threat" is actually Doomsday. There's persistent rumors that Michael Shannon was on set at one point, and that the movie's plot has Luthor using Zod's DNA to create Doomsday... this late in the game, I'd be surprised if that was NOT the case. Which I can get behind completely.

Apparently some new promotional posters where shown off at a promotional expo in Vegas:


Tons of other stuff from the Expo, including lots of shots of the full movie costumes on display, the Batmobile, and more: http://supermanhomepage.com/news.php?readmore=16533



Awesome stuff, as usual. Although, as others have already pointed out, that mannequin looks a lot more like Wonder Woman than Gal Gadot does. I'm the worst, I know.

I wanna just go to sleep and wake up in March. This is killing me.

dang that alll looks so cool

Superman and Batman still need trunks.

I really don't get why people don't see them as necessary. They don't look "right" without them. It's the difference between wearing a super-hero costume and wearing a wetsuit plus cape.

Still, damn good-lookin' on the whole, though. I just get annoyed when things decide to be only 9/10s perfect. Why not go all the way? Meh.

Still the best Batman costume we're probably ever gonna see, though. Damn, that thing is spiffy.

[Amaranthus]

I was watching I Am Legend and saw a Batman logo with a Superman logo on it.
It was somewhere in the beginning of the film, weird.
Quit watching though because the jumpscares were killing me.

I agree. Especially when they are based off the Strongman outfit, it's just basic color composition 101.

[Leo656]

Amaranthus: Yeah, when they were making that movie they were also in the very early stages of doing a (completely different and eventually scrapped) Superman vs. Batman movie, so they stuck that in as like an inside joke.

Apparently...

Spoiler:

-In the movie, there is a scene where Batman breaks deep into Lexcorp/Cadmus and manages to hack into the Lexcorp computers. Batman brings up surveillance footage on the monitors which shows the following:
Ezra Miller's The Flash is a blur that stops a robbery. (Previously reported on Daily Superhero)
-Jason Momoa's Aquaman is held prisoner in a containment chamber where we see his hand slap against the glass.

Neat.

Also, there's speculation that Suicide Squad takes place between Mos and BvS, and there may be events in SS that bridge the two films.

Also...

Spoiler:

I'm intrigued by how the article says, "LexCorp/Cadmus". I wonder if it's still vague, if the author is confused, or if in this version LexCorp runs Cadmus, which I can totally see being the case. Is Luthor spying on/experimenting on super-humans? If Cadmus is involved, this all but confirms Doomsday. And if Luthor secretly runs Cadmus, we're almost definitely going to be seeing Clone Superboy a few movies down the line. At least it would make perfect sense for them to do so.

This is all getting very interesting and I'm excited to see this universe grow.

Exactly. No trunks makes Superman look like a eunuch. The suit looks like skin over a musculature, so he looks naked but without any junk, so my brain just sees a dude with no package.

[Cure]

My brain definitely sees a package. On both of them.

[ProactiveMan]

Sure - if you stare.

[Candy Kappa]

I don't think you even need to stare, they are quite eye catching. Which us kinda funny since guy superheroes rarely gets a package in comics, it's like, Ken doll flat.

[ProactiveMan]

Superman in the glass case looks exactly like Ken in that regard. Not 80s ken, with the moulded undies, but 90s ken with the integrated codpiece.

I just had one of those moments where you step outside your body and see yourself discussing Superman's junk on the internet. My bad.

I agree with your colour theory statement BTW, that suit needs the trunks to break up the shape a little.

Am I racist for picturing a Chinese guy saying that?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I keep coming on here hoping for new news, but NOPE.

Let's discuss Clark Kent's jumblies instead.

Seriously though, why is wearing your briefs over your pants cool!?

[ProactiveMan]

If you have to ask, you won't understand.

Nostalgia? Is that the answer?
