Warner Bros. announced today that they have pushed the release date of the Batman vs. Superman movie, aka Man of Steel sequel, a whopping 10 months from July 17, 2015 until May 6, 2016 to allow "the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story."

That's 3 full years from now, I don't even know if I'll still care about the movie by then.

And waiting 4 years between Superman movies, and even more for Batman solo films again? This is just plain stupid.

If they at least had a Batman solo movie inbetween this it wouldn't be so bad. Won't Affleck be too old by the time this movie hits?

*NinjaPug* · 01-17-2014, 08:46 PM

Yeah the extra wait sucks but it's not as bad as what you listed.

That's not even 2.5 years from now. Not a full 3.

It'll be less than 3 years between movies. Not 4.

Affleck will be 3 months older than he would've been when they film this. Filming only got pushed back a quarter.

The original release date felt too rushed. Also interesting that they put it on a date that Marvel already scheduled an unannounced movie. I don't think Dr. Strange or Black Panther or whatever they're planning will stick to that date.

Good. Now they can take their time instead of rushing it out, which is what they were doing.

I agree with this guy more and more everyday....

*chrisdude* · 01-17-2014, 09:55 PM

Dag. They're already filming. But, if that's what it takes, cool. Pretty much everyone agrees they were pushing it too fast.

*CyberCubed* · 01-17-2014, 10:07 PM

They pretty much killed all hype and enthusiasm for this movie. Releasing in 2015 alongside Avengers 2 would have been epic.

By 2016 the superhero movie market could burst and it just isn't exciting. Most of us will be in our 30's by then and will we even care?

Thinking of the year 2016 makes me sick to my stomach, I can't even predict how different my life could be by then.

*Cure* · 01-17-2014, 10:12 PM

30 year olds don't care about movies. Gotcha.

*Shark_Blade* · 01-17-2014, 10:17 PM

No need to rush, take the time needed.

Also, there are only people in the world roughly CyberCubed's age.

I remember thinking, when I found out there were building up to The Avengers, "Geez! X-Men, Batman, Spider-Man, Superman - It's been non-stop superhero movies for ten years! Who's even going to care by 2012?"

Also, let's not forget both Iron Man and Thor made more than ever after The Avengers.

*CyberCubed* · 01-17-2014, 10:30 PM

It's odd that DC did not plan ahead and have a Batman film in this gap.

Didn't the last Batman film come out in 2012? It'll have been 4 years.

**Jester** · 01-17-2014, 10:31 PM

I'd have been almost 30 in mid July of 2014, but now that it's pushed back to May of the next year...crap. Now I won't care about this film.

BUT....I can be thankful. Liebesman's TMNT comes out after my 30th birthday. I can stop caring about that one now...dodged THAT bullet.

The Amazing Spider-Man was five years after Spider-Man 3, and people thought that was too soon. And people didn't like Spider-Man 3.

I'm very interested in your opinions concerning these new movies, dude! I wish I had been on here when all the mess concerning both these films hit the fan.

Pushed back til 2016, huh? Well I guess 2015 is going to be a huge year for Disney with Star Wars and Marvel stuff. I guess I'll also have to wait til 2016 for an Injustice II.

But they had no choice there. Sony was in contract that they had to make another Spiderman film within 5 years or it would expire.

And even though this is a "new" Batman, he's not Batman at square-one. This is an older Batman who likely already went through a bunch of rogues, it just happened off-screen.

They really should have had a Batman solo movie introducing Ben Affleck's Batman before this movie.

Fixed that for ya. Heck, MoS2 ought to be just Supes. This Justice League Lite or Trinity or whatever is a joke.
