Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice - Page 72

This trailer sucks as a Superman movie trailer; it is rather too heavily Batman focused. I think the first two trailers are much better vehicles for framing the Batman V Superman concept...

Still, I loved this trailer as I am much more a Batman fan.

I still don't like this Luthor. Even if its a "farce" the fact that the majority of screentime of his character will be like that is still awful.

I read tweets from someone claiming that WB are "very concerned" about the movie and made the decision on this being Bat-oriented as a "safe bet"

*Krutch* · 02-11-2016, 01:55 PM

Cool trailer that has done nothing to sway my opinions on the movie since they announced the sequel in the first place.

I think how you feel about this movie will greatly tie in how you felt about MoS.

I'm really happy for anyone who's enjoying this. Honestly. I just wish it were more for me. Ah well.

Affleck's looks like he's gonna be the bomb, though. Just like in Phantoms

I doubt WB is worried about this film anymore; maybe way back when, but from what I've seen, most people have come around and are eagerly (fanatically) awaiting this film's debut.

This is still my one gripe about the movie; I'm prepared to have my opinion changed once I actually see the film, but this nerdy long-hair hipster Luthor is just... gah. He'd better wow me.

*CyberCubed* · 02-11-2016, 02:01 PM

Batman is what the fans want.

Too true... but as a Batman fan, I honestly wanted a straight-up Man of Steel 2. Still, this is gonna be fantastic!

Seconded, every word of it.

*Krutch* · 02-11-2016, 03:01 PM

Actually, in taking back what I said earlier... I think I'm going to go into this movie pretending Man of Steel never happened. It might actually work better for me.

Well it is a soft-reboot. They know you don't have to watch Man of Steel to see this.

Shred87 · 02-11-2016, 04:19 PM

Best trailer yet, still think they've given away too many plot points

No, it's not a soft reboot. They're not changing or ignoring anything from the first movie.

That's like calling The Avengers a soft reboot of the Iron Man franchise.

*CyberCubed* · 02-11-2016, 04:25 PM

Its kind of a soft-reboot. This is a new Batman, but we're treated as if we know his history. This is a sequel to Man of Steel, but its also sort of not since you don't have to see that movie to understand this one.

Its a fresh start.

You are incorrect.

The fallout of Man of Steel is a direct contributor to the tone and events of this movie. Wayne Enterprises getting crushed to the ground by Zod? Hell, they're getting Doomsday from Zod's corpse.

You don't HAVE to watch the first movie, but most movie franchises try to make each movie as independently accessible as possible. I saw The Avengers before I saw any of the MCU movies except for Iron Man 1 because my wife's friend dragged us to it. The Dark Knight can be watched without Batman Begins... and dozens of other examples.

*NinjaPug* · 02-11-2016, 04:43 PM

This isn't a soft reboot at all.

*CyberCubed* · 02-11-2016, 04:51 PM

Well what do you call a movie that acts as a clean slate and can be watched independently of the others?

It's absolutely not acting as a clean slate.

*NinjaPug* · 02-11-2016, 04:55 PM

Except this movie isn't a clean slate. The events of MoS are literally the reason this movie is happening.

*Bry* · 02-11-2016, 05:11 PM

I guess it technically represents a full reboot for Batman, as this version of the character doesn't follow any previous series... But it's 100% a direct follow-up to Man of Steel and references and relies on the events of that movie a lot for even its basic plot. So... nah, not a soft reboot at all.

*CyberCubed* · 02-11-2016, 05:12 PM

The Batman side is the reboot. So half a reboot.
