Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice - Page 66

I honestly felt that movie did a great job of establishing the mythology, but couldn't resist getting bogged down in too many "silly" moments. It was okay but it could have been a lot better. Clip the Hammond stuff and it's fine.

I'unno if they're gonna bother re-establishing all that, they might pick it up in progress.

I am no fan of Hector Hammond. Still it was throwing in Parallax and Hal able to beat the embodiment of fear and destroy it a few days into the job. It would confuse casual fans and advance Hal's greatness too fast for fans of the franchise. I was really hoping for a cheaper costing sequel with Sinestro as the lead villain.

Who is hoping for Parasite in the next MOS movie?

~~Leo656~~ · 01-01-2016, 10:11 PM

He's pretty lame. Brainiac or go home.

Brainiac would be a good way to go.

Oh gosh, I'unno. I kinda feel like they already missed the chance to make him a Kryptonian A.I., which was a pretty popular take even though that was just the cartoon that did that, but if they were gonna do that they would have mentioned him in MoS, so I doubt they'll use that take. They're going pretty close to the comics with these movies rather than the cartoons or other media so it'll more than likely just be Coluan Brainiac. As to how he'll look visually, I'unno, they've had like 80 versions of Brainiac so there's lots to choose from.

The background design for LexOS in the Batman V Superman movie uses the Brainiac type of aesthetic, and that HAS to be on purpose for some reason, so I'm curious what their version of Brainiac will inevitably look like. I mean they haven't been very secretive about that being a high priority, he's been on their list of Superman villains to use in a film since the 70s they just never had the budget for it.

I'd go with a design similar to this one if or when they do finally toss him in a film.

Jesse Eisenberg was originally offered a different role in this film.

Zack Snyder says casting Ben Affleck as Batman was a no brainier.

New spot

~~Leo656~~ · 01-09-2016, 09:16 PM

"...Bitch, f*ck your car."

I love how Superman's every single reaction to Bruce is this quiet, puzzled nonchalance.

"Dude, you're SO mad at me for some reason!"

There's another new clip up at Superman Homepage but it's mostly just the Bruce/Clark/Lex scene with an extra line of dialogue, so I didn't bother posting it.

*CyberCubed* · 01-09-2016, 09:41 PM

That was a good clip.

*ToTheNines* · 01-10-2016, 02:18 PM

Kinda weird that his voice is distorted and he's not in the mech suit.

~~Leo656~~ · 01-10-2016, 04:55 PM

It's clear to me that they liked the idea of Bruce Wayne and Batman having dramatically different voices and simply decided to make electronic vocal distortion A Thing Batman Does, since they fell in love with it over the last few movies anyway. Rather than make it "just" a special effect, they worked it into the story.

It's an odd choice but it does make sense. It's a logical extension of why Bruce and Batman would have different voices to begin with. "I'll just use a synthesizer, f*ck it." Makes sense. It seems like something Bruce would do the more I think about it. I can buy that before I can buy that he just happens to keep ice skates in his boots at all times.

It's not what I would have done probably, but I wouldn't have thought of it.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 01-10-2016, 05:04 PM

According to Snyder:

“I love Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman, but having Flash and Aquaman and Cyborg and to see them all standing together, it’s a pretty dorky and cool experience for me,” Snyder, says. “Basically every one of those characters has a logo that you would recognize without them standing there, and that’s a hard thing to achieve in this pop-culture world. We have history to draw on, but we also have these new frontiers to forge.”

No mention of GL. It still bugs me a little that Cyborg's a major JL player. Martian Manhunter or Hawkgirl would make more sense to me, but then, both of those characters are in major use on the small screen right now... but hey, totally willing to be convinced, DC.

What about the Batman on Ice show coming to a city near you?

~~Leo656~~ · 01-10-2016, 05:19 PM

It absolutely should have been Martian Manhunter instead of Cyborg. But frankly, Green isn't Black enough. Not trying to start anything, but anyone who doesn't think that's the Beginning, Middle and End of "why Cyborg and Not J'onn?" is kidding themselves. Cyborg has pretty much NO history with the JLA pre-New 52, while J'onn actually has the longest JLA tenure of everyone in history, having been a part of every single Pre-52 lineup, something not even Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman can claim. J'onn's been a constant member of the team as well as occasionally the LEADER of the team. Removing him entirely makes no sense. BUT, "Green isn't Black enough", in an era where you have movie and TV studio execs openly talking about how "more minorities" is a bullet point for every single project nowadays, trumping almost everything else in importance.

It's clear that WB only saw J'onn as the JLA's "token minority" rather than the integral part of the team he's always been, and figured it was both harmless and beneficial to swap him out in favor of "an actual person of color". Not a good decision on their part, but it's expected given the current state of the entertainment business. I've always liked J'onn a lot, and it's annoying that not only is he not going to be part of the JLA now that it's finally happening on film, but he's been replaced for the most insipid of reasons.

Whattyagonnado. Although recent scuttlebutt is that they've reconsidered just how much they want to push Cyborg, since the feedback hasn't been great on him. There's rumors that instead of a solo film, they might do a proper Titans film and spin him off into that, since more people seem to want that than they do a Cyborg solo film. Some people speculate that's why the rumored TV show was recently officially axed, as well, because now DC/WB wants to save the concept for a movie. All of that makes sense and I really hope they do it.
