So, now that Nite Owl has joined the cast, I'm offering 20 to 1 that it tanks, and 30 to 1 it ends at least one career.

(hint: it rhymes with Snyder.)
I can't call Justice League. There hasn't even been a trailer yet, just the San Diego bit that they made sure and say wasn't a trailer. It's been rather... public that they ripped it apart and redid it on the fly to make it... not what BvS was. The San Diego footage was interesting, if not wholly compelling.

My gut is that the goodwill leading up to BvS has dropped out after people have watched the movie, and Justice League without a Harley Quinn that dudes lust after and their girlfriends secretly lust after... is not going to do all that well. I see sub-Man of Steel numbers. But maybe Wonder Woman restores some of that goodwill. Possibly. Kind of a lame team to shove in the public eye. Aquaman isn't going to excite anybody, even if he's played by Kal Drogo. Nobody has any idea who the f*ck Cyborg is, let alone the actor who is playing him. Flash, they're mostly getting flak for going so... strange, against not only the Flash TV show, but the comic book Barry Allen. At least if Green Lantern were on the team there would be a little additional "whoa" factor beyond the Wonder Woman we met for all of 20 seconds in the last movie, but the Reynolds movie has WB visibly spooked.

It's kind of like if the Avengers came out... with Captain America and Black Widow and a bunch of who-cares. I dunno.

They're not using the same Batman costume from BvS? That costume was perfect.

They are. It's in the "not trailer." But darker. The new goggle outfit is supposed to be the big, "Look at the cool alternate kickass outfit Batman wears at the end of Justice League when he's not f***in' around anymore."

But it looks even less cool than his anti-Superman suit. And derivative of Owlman.

How fitting is it, that after WB/DC trounced his creators lawsuit, Superman would be the one that puts an end to their (assumed) cash cow?
I mean, that would be, pretty ****ing meta.
Is Snyder secretly restoring balance to the force by publicly destroying what he loves?

Have I been wrong this whole time? Is Zack a real American hero?

Is Snyder actually saving Superman?

What a god damned hack. Hundreds of classic Batman looks from the past they could have borrowed from, and all they could do was rip off Snyder's other cbm.

I gotta go with the haters on this one... those googles are atrocious and baffling. Why? Because his spidey sense sensory overload needs to be cut down?

Snyder's lense flares were blinding him.

I've never seen Watchmen but even I know that's a rip-off of one of those characters.

Imagine Batman wearing a mask like that if he joined the Court of Owls.

It'd be predictable but not surprising if Superman doesn't show up til the end of the film. What are the chances of this movie getting his character right, this time?

Hey guys, I have a challenge: name some good choices Snyder has made in his tenure as the DCEU mastermind. Because these Bat-goggles aren't one of them.

... I thought it was hilarious that Senator Finch was both a Democrat and from Kentucky. That's it though.

Casting has been spot on so far, except for Eisenberg.

Cavill, Gadot, Affleck, Irons, Shannon...

I dunno, I'm mixed on that... feels like "Arkham City" rather than something that should be in a film. But it's undeniably a pretty cool scene.

errm... no.

not Shannon, or Cavill, or Affleck, or even Irons.

One could say "in the general vicinity." maybe. Spot on?

Hell to the NO.

It's an idea for a cool scene - can't follow the action, or really see what the **** is happening through the bad photography. Shaky cam means "I'm not sure the scene looks good on it's own.. if I blur the action enough, it will feel life stuff is really happening.

A more competent director would properly work out how the shots flow together, and not want the image compromised.

The fight in Smallville (Not the one in Metropolis). Other than that, I'd be reaching for straws.

The Smallville fight bothered me. Superman is totally fine to pummel those guys in an occupied street when a cornfield is right there!

I'd bet the farm on it. It's a trope of every simple Superman story ever... you know, the good guys will form up, the threat will be faced, things will look pretty grim for everyone, then cue the Superman music and Superman flying in to save the day for the win.

Probably just in time to stand next to the group for the slow-mo group shot before the end credits, and right before some terse, awkward Green Lantern cameo.
