Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice

hunh, they actually managed to make this figure look like her... That's impressive.


Not gonna lie, if they get the likeness right in the 1/6 scale, I'll pick it up.

Yeah, all the super-expensive statues, figures and other swag coming out look tight as hell. I might have to piss my income tax check away on at least some nice things.

Apparently in the new Empire Magazine that's coming out - can't find the links right now, sorry - there's more scuttlebutt about Wonder Woman's involvement as well.

Spoiler:

So, in this version, Diana is 5000 years old, and she and the Amazons have been protecting and shepherding humankind for millennia. However, something happened to make the Amazons withdraw from "Man's World" and Diana to abandon her mission - events that we will see play out in her solo film. So she's been "retired" for several decades until something major happens in BvS to force her to get involved and take up the mantle of "Wonder Woman" once again. Zack Snyder himself states that Lex Luthor has a ton of interest in meta-humans, not just Superman, and hints that Diana's involvement is directly connected to this.

This last bit by Snyder directly confirms the leak I have from last summer, which states that Lex already has several meta-humans held captive for study at the Cadmus facility, most notably Aquaman. Supposedly, Diana finds out about Luthor's plans and that's what forces her into action, because the world will fall to ruin if "The Seven" aren't united in time, or something to that effect. She sets Aquaman free and he comes back at the very end of the movie to do the "Han Solo Last Second Rescue" gimmick before taking off back to Atlantis.

Every single new bit of that leak I had from Summer slowly being confirmed is absolutely great news (while people are finally dismissing that Reddit one as fake... it was only debunked a whole two hours after it came out, after all, but weeks later some news sites were still reporting it as "news"). And I'm getting more and more excited for Wonder Woman with every new bit that comes out, too.

At this point I think the thing I'm most excited about regarding this movie is Junkie XL's Batman score. Can't wait to hear it.

When does this come out again? I wish it would come out now. I am tired of waiting.

My wife does that sh*t too. She's got her laptop open and she'll ask me simple questions. I'm like "Google it!" The internet has erased the need for asking questions and yet nobody uses it correctly.

[Commenter 42]

No, I meant, this is how I imagine Cubed, waiting impatiently, talking to us.

[Leo656]

Ahhhh. See, I would imagine that as big a fan as Cubed is, he would know that those particular Batman gloves should be purple. But I see what you're driving at!

[Commenter 42]

So, will you be getting royalty checks, or was it a lump sum payment?

A new 1:30 teaser of the new Batman theme:

[CyberCubed]

Sounds alright, too much pounding drum or trumpets in the background though, whatever that is.

[Leo656]

As opposed to every other Batman theme that pretty much does the same thing, just with the notes in a different order?

[NinjaPug]

Honestly I'm not a fan of that track. I've been so excited to hear Junkie XL's Batman score but that just sounds like a generic version of something Zimmer would do that is too similar to his Superman score.

Still hoping the full score will be incredible. His Fury Road score is so damn good.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'll wait to hear it in the movie, but so far, Zimmer did it better. Also Elfman.

[Leo656]

The full track is supposedly 14 minutes long, which implies there's plenty left to hear.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'm so tired of waiting for this movie. The anticipation is killing me!

[Leo656]

((Takes a slow, deliberate "puff" of his pipe, pauses for dramatic effect, then brings forth a barrage of soap bubbles while nodding thoughtfully))

Indeed.

[CyberCubed]

I can't wait either. I just want it to be over with. Its the same feeling I had before Episode 7 to come out. Its like you want that "relief" that you saw the movie and you don't have to think about it anymore.

I want it off my chest!

We both know it ain't soap you smoke in a pipe, mang.
