Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice

[NinjaPug]

They've cast Cyborg in the film now. It's a small role but it feels like they're trying to add too much too soon.

What on earth is the point of putting Cyborg in this film now? Seriously, it just gets more crowded and ridiculous.

I thought adding Wonder Woman was too much since they have to explain her origin and her island and everything, but now adding Cyborg? What's next, Flash and Green Lantern?

I don't understand the point in putting a lot of these Heroes in the first flick, it's just going to be about Super Man V.S Bat Man any ways like the first animated film was I bet.

Maybe in the second film, that would have made more sense for this

I mean this isn't the Justice League film, every one else is just going to be back ground props the entire film

At this point we have no idea what this film is.

[chrisdude]

Seriously. Between The Avengers, this, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and talk about Spider-Man villain spin-offs, I don't know which way is up. Nothing's off the table.

[CyberCubed]

It's horrible though because DC is unknown to the casuals.

How many people honestly know who Cyborg is? If it weren't for the Teen Titans cartoon I would have no exposure to him and have no clue why he's here.

Well, those cartoons probably account for a lot. I mean, there are Cyborg action figures in the store. That's more than I can say for Wonder Woman.

what?.....DC has had tons of animated shows.....so I'm sure kids know DC.

heck I know more about DC than I do Marvel just because of all the cartoons they've had. XD

I'm pretty sure alot of people didn't know who the heck Hawkeye was when he was in Avengers XD my dad didn't know who he was when he watched it. He just saw a cool guy that can shoot arrows.

so I'm sure when Cyborg comes in he'll be the cool cyborg that can shoot beams

I didn't even see the point of them adding Batman before putting out a new stand alone Batman movie.

Wonder Woman and Cyborg are way overkill this soon. WW is going to be talking about Themyscira the entire time and non-comic fans are going to be sitting there wondering what the hell she's talking about. It would be the equivalent of releasing Avengers without a Thor movie and Thor talking about Asgard constantly.

[CyberCubed]

I'd wager that before the Teen Titans cartoon came out in 2003, the general public had no clue who Cyborg, Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy were. I certainly didn't.

I remember seeing those CN promo's for the show back in 2003 when it was brand new and they always emphasized Robin, simply because they knew Robin was the only recognizable character to the general public. Back then I was like, "Why is Robin being paired with these random superheroes?" and I had no clue Teen Titans was a comic going on since the 80's.

Honestly it was the cartoons that made me realize who all these DC and Marvel characters were. Before the cartoons I was clueless beyond the big ones like Batman/Superman or Spiderman/X-men.

[Turo602]

I think at this point it's just wise for them to cast the entire Justice League and have them cameo at the end of the film. I don't see how all these characters are going to get enough development without belittling the Superman vs Batman aspect.

Also, anyone else think The Rock should play Darkseid?

[sdp]

Well he'll probably just have a quick cameo, hell maybe the whole Justice League is just a quick cameo in the end with only Batman getting any lines outside of the cameo. If it's not like that then it really will be a clusterf*** of a movie. Which is a shame since I enjoyed the first one and wanted to see how they fleshed out the universe and not shoehorn other heroes to copy marvel. It screams "me too" and I don't think it'll go over well with the public.

When I first saw the show I thought, "This show is awesome, I only wish they had allowed it to have all original characters instead shoehorning of Robin into the team.
I did see the Superfriends season with Cyborg a few times but definitely didn't remember that lame Cyborg from that show.

Well, there's pretty much only comics, movies and shows. So this reasoning works for everything..,

I think he was casted as John Stewart already.
Supposably he twitted out a hashtag on twitter dropping a big hint about being green lantern.

here it is. He has signed on for a warner bros project and a bunch of other small clues leading to the assumption that he is casted as John Stewart GL

I hate having Cyborg as a member of the JL for diversity sake, I liked having JS as the Green Lantern in JL/JLU, it brought more diversity and was a fun character, Hal Jordan is just boring.

[NinjaPug]

Not a fan of Cyborg either. If they're going to overcrowd this movie with characters, I wish they'd do it with other ones.

[CyberCubed]

Its sad that Cyborg's defining trait has become, "He's the black guy" rather than the interesting character he's supposed to be.

Its obvious the only reason he's part of the Justice League now is because, "Hey, we need a token black guy!" and that's it.

I prefer cyborg in Teen Titans, he just not that silly or fun when he is associated with the Justice League

It's not an official statement, but I've heard of that. I'd rather someone else be Green Lantern. I'm not a fan of how small Superman is starting to look compared to Batman and now possibly GL... It's a minor nitpick, but it's gonna look weird seeing them side by side for me personally.

That is also my fear, but if they want to fix it they can simply use CGI to make him taller like they will probably do with Wonder Woman.

The have done it with Zerkze (spelling?) in 300 and also in Captain America pre-super soldier Steve Rodgers.

So I think if they want to they could fix it.
