Holy sh*t, that looks amazing.

*discordiatookie* · 12-03-2015, 07:08 AM

This looks freaking incredible. I've watched it twice now and grinned ear to ear the whole way through. Can't wait.

Amazing trailer, definitely keeping me hyped. I love the Bruce and Clark interaction and look forward to more of it. Cavill plays a great Clark Kent though this version doesn't seem to be trying to hide behind goofball antics, which is a little disappointing but understandable given Lois not knowing his identity is a big part of what makes that whole dance charming. Bruce Wayne is also very great in this trailer. He's a huge dick but you understand why and it's just a fantastic contrast to Clark Kent.

Lex is easily the weakest part of this trailer and probably the whole movie. They're trying too hard to make him "scary" through his weird and oddball nature and it just doesn't work. This is Lex Luthor not the Joker. But of course, people will always defend anything that exists but nothing will ever justify this portrayal of Lex no matter how you try to slice it. Doomsday also looks very weird but I'm willing to get behind it if he does in fact physically evolve like most people seem to be suggesting.

I also don't get why people are saying this trailer was too spoiler heavy. Nothing I saw was anything most people didn't already know. The freakin' synopsis pretty much sums up the whole trailer and the Doomsday reveal wasn't even all that surprising given everyone already saw it coming.

Overall, I think the Comic-Con trailer was better but it was nice to see a lot more of Batman and Superman in action. Oh, and Wonder Woman being hot. Definitely my favorite part of it all.

I hate you all right now. I haven't seen it yet. Can't see videos on the computers at work, have to wait till I get off in a little bit...I hate you all right now....

*ToTheNines* · 12-03-2015, 07:45 AM

I wonder if they'll "kill" Supes...

They won't.

Hold on... Were there jokes in that trailer? In a Zack Snyder movie?

I remain firmly in the "unconvinced" camp here. To each their own, but after Man of Steel I'm gonna need to hear a lot of positive word-of-mouth before I sit down with anything else in this series. This does look more enjoyable than Man of Steel, but to me that isn't saying much.

Eisenberg's Luthor is extremely irritating, though it also appears to be somewhat of an act, so there's that. And I see Snyder's still doing the handheld/kinda-shaky thing throughout much of the movie, which is... dumb, but whatever. He's a director that cares more about style than anything else, even when his stylistic preferences don't suit the material or even make a lot of sense.

If nothing else though, I'm more excited about the Wonder Woman movie now. So there's that.

My game plan is to wait for reviews/word-of-mouth, and if most of that's positive and my interest is piqued, I'll rent it at some point. But there'll be no convincing my wife to sit through this after Man of Steel, that much I know.

Not sure how I feel about the trailer, overall. This take of Luthor seems like fun! I really like it, so far. Doomsday seems like a reasonable choice, in terms of scale and this idea of Lex wanting to kill Superman, but simply making a monster is a lame way to use Lex's intelligence and wit. He's definitely my favorite Superman villain, but I'd much rather see him take on Superman 1-on-1, like one of his grand schemes that takes advantage of Superman's nature, instead of him just being the means to setting up another city-ravaging battle. Unfortunately, movies have used Lex so many times, they'll probably move on to someone else when they get around to Man of Steel 2.

I wondered that myself since they're bringing DD into the movie. Have DD "kill" Supes in this movie and then return in Justice League

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 12-03-2015, 12:16 PM

Watching this trailer, I realized that I hate Jesse E.

Everything else though is amazing. As much as I love Nolan's movies, I love that this new take is going more comic-booky... the ONLY problem I had with Nolan's trilogy is the John Blake "Robin" thing; that was insulting.

But Robin(s)!? I'm in.

*Vicky82* · 12-03-2015, 12:19 PM

I thought the trailer was alright. Doomsday looks like a mangled ninja turtle

*plastroncafe* · 12-03-2015, 12:19 PM

I usually really like Eisenberg too.
I can understand wanting to Revamp Luthor.
I can even understand making him Larger than Life, to compensate for the Buildings that are Supes and Bats.
But...I guess I wasn't expecting his performance to be at 11.

*CyberCubed* · 12-03-2015, 12:47 PM

Eisenberg should have been The Riddler. I said this before, him making quips and taunting Batman and Superman with riddles would have been perfect. He even looks like Edward Nigma.

Man, I think they cast him for the wrong villain. Now who will be our next Riddler?

That says more about the ninja turtles than it says about Doomsday.
He's supposed to be ugly (I assume), the turtles were just had bad designs.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 12-03-2015, 01:49 PM

Jessie Eisenberg, the new Tom Hiddlestone!

*Andrew NDB* · 12-03-2015, 02:10 PM

I'm willing to be open about Jesse's Luthor. And at some point we do know he has a transformation... his hair gets burned off or whatever (the pics of him bald on set), and hops in the mechanized Luthor armor (pics of movie toys include it).

Hopefully nobody. He's kind of a lame villain, IMHO. But if I had to choose? Leo DiCaprio.
