Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice

[Cure]

The tear in the shape of the bat I can kinda buy, but not the other one.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Is Batman standing in Metropolis or Gotham in one of the night shots?

[The Stryker]

Thinking about it. The more happy I am about the way they're handling the continuation of the story.

Just from the trailer I get the feeling like the events of MoS had a huge impact on the world. You kinda don't see that in other superhero movies. The public reaction to stuff that would change everything for good.

Not to really bash Marvel as I love Avengers but what really happened so far that tells us the events of Avengers changed stuff? The most you get are people saying "Oh. New York." Or "The incident". You'd think there would be some more paranoia or fear at the whole reveal of Aliens and the god of thunder in the same day.

Iron Man is the only guy that's like "Yo that was f*cked!"

I feel the same way about Marvel's universe...there was a MAJOR invasion in the Avengers, and they kind of gloss over it in all the following movies...We never see how the people reacted. The little pieces we have seen it's been citizens fawning all over the Avengers.

That's one reason I liked Daredevil so much, the public is unsure about him and some think he's evil. You only get those angles in DC's movies.

100% agreed.

EDIT: So Kaman Stowell, who writes for supermanhomepage.com was at the IMAX event. As expected, there was apparently a little bit more footage at the end...

From his report:

Spoiler:

...It had all the familiar shots, until the "S" came up with the Bat symbol behind it, then it all changed.

Suddenly I'm watching Superman, out of breath and with a distinct curl in his hair that we are all familiar with, and he starts running and flies over the edge of the inside of an abandoned building. We see Batman in a running stance and he charges at Superman, then for a split second we are looking at Batman and Superman on screen together in IMAX for the first time. Just as the punch is about to be thrown it cuts to black, end of teaser.

Zack Snyder then comes back and says that a lot of the film was actually shot in IMAX and that the final epic scene of them clashing, that had everyone in my theater screaming at the top of their lungs, would only be seen in IMAX until the movie is released in March.

Here's a photo of the "Trinity's" costumes on display at WB studios.

[Slade]

Glad I just read that. I was thinking about the S curl today and why he didn't have it or atleast not slicked hair. Sounds awesome!

[CyberCubed]

I honestly wish this was a full reboot and didn't use the same Superman from Man of Steel. I didn't like that movie very much.

But also given this is a new Batman and Wonder woman, feels really odd to see an old Superman and not a new one either.

[TigerClaw]

Someone made a GIF of the extra scene from the IMAX preview, It shows Batman and Superman charging at each other.

To be fair, it's not always there, but I like when it is.

What would be super-silly of them to do, but would almost make sense at this point, would be if his look continues to "evolve" a little bit each movie, until by the next solo film he looks almost exactly like the "definitive" version. I mean, the weird-looking S shield and the slicked-back hair are both representative of the earliest comics, more than of the look we commonly see and think of. Zack has a history of being very literal with his interpretations of certain things in comics, so if they're actually going to have an in-story "reason" for why he starts styling his hair different, I could see the suit also continuing to change over time the way it did in the comics.

Buuuuut, my money's on, "His hair just happens to fall that way in the scene and people are over-thinking it."

Neat gif. Nice little bonus for the people who went to go see it. I had a feeling they'd do something like that.

That would make zero sense seeing as Batman v Superman is happening because of the events that happened in Man of Steel.

I hope the reason Superman is running at normal speed at Batman is because of Kryptonite or something like that. He moved MUCH faster in MoS.

According to Henry Cavill, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Is not a Superman sequel.

"I've only seen a little bit of ADR stuff, but that's it, and that wasn't even in color. I'm hoping to see it [the whole movie] some time this year, for a friends and family screening or something. But I really know nothing about what the finished product looks like. I wouldn't call this a Superman sequel. This is Batman versus Superman, so it's a separate entity altogether. It's introducing the Batman character, and expanding upon this universe, which was kicked off by 'Man of Steel'. It's an introduction to the [Batman] character, and ultimately an introduction to 'Justice League.'"

[CyberCubed]

So then what happened to Man of Steel 2? I thought this WAS the sequel, now they're saying it isn't?

[Leo656]

They've said a hundred times it's not the sequel. The solo MoS sequel is like 2018 or something, after they do Justice League. It's been stated repeatedly that both Superman and Batman solo movies are coming out after Justice League.

From supermanhomepage.com:

Spoiler:

For quite some time now rumors of Doomsday being part of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" have circulated around the internet... and according to movie scooper Umberto Gonzalez (aka El-Mayimbe), Doomsday is indeed part of the movie.

"It's been out there, but it's official. We are going to see Doomsday," he told the Shanlian on Batman podcast.

Gonzalez likens Doomsday's part in the film to that of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars – in that he is the brawn that "main villain" Lex Luthor goes to when he needs a physical threat (similar to how Vader was Grand Moff Tarkin's muscle in Star Wars). That dynamic certainly makes sense. While Luthor represents a great danger with his massive intellect, he wouldn't pose much of a challenge to Superman and Batman (and Wonder Woman?) in a fight – unless he was wearing some sort of armor. On the other hand, Doomsday is one of the few DC Comics villains who has the potential to be lethal toward Kal-El, so Luthor unleashing Doomsday on the heroes is a logical way for the story to conclude.

As for the line in the teaser trailer in which Batman appears to ask Superman if he bleeds, Gonzalez stated that the line is actually part of a dream sequence... but would say no more.

Whether you believe any of the above rumors or not is up to you. Warner Bros. have not confirmed nor denied the Doomsday rumors. We'll just have to wait and see...

If it had underwear, it would be perfect (and if it were blue and gray)

[Leo656]

It's close enough! I'm just glad he's not wearing some monstrosity Scotch-taped together from paintball armor and a motorcycle helmet like the LAST guy!

Spoiler:

Since Doomsday is very strongly "rumored" to be the physical villain in this movie, I have a very strong feeling that one of my early hunches was correct, that Superman will go down saving the world from Doomsday and "die" in this movie, and the Justice League forms to protect Earth in his stead. Then, in Justice League Part 1, Brainiac invades Earth, summoned by the same beacon that summoned Zod in Man of Steel, and fights the League to a standstill. Then Superman returns in Justice League Part 2, they stop Brainiac, and everyone finally loves Superman and the rest of them the way they're supposed to. Ta-da.

Makes sense to me. That's a really great way to do it if that's indeed what they're planning. I mean I don't see any good reason NOT to do that, really. It works. I mean, it's a little "early" to kill Superman, but they've already announced his second solo movie, so it's not like he'd stay "dead" for long anyway, and if he dies protecting Earth from something like Doomsday, that would be the perfect thing to win over the people of Earth who were cynical or afraid, to prove that he was a hero and not an invader or whatever.

I'unno, pretty excited.

I don't know, having Superman out of the picture in the very first Justice League movie ever is pretty lame. I mean, you still got Batman and Wonder Woman in this movie and if Doomsday is the big bad, there's no need to kill Superman when he has so much help.

[Leo656]

We shall see.

Spoiler:

Some people reported a scene being filmed that looked like a funeral or memorial for Clark Kent, though, so... y'know, factor that in.

I kinda get it about the first Justice League movie possibly not having Superman, but if you look at it another way, since he's going to be in the Part II regardless, the first one would be more about everyone else. I mean one of the things people always say about the Justice League is, "If you have Superman and Batman, why do you need anyone else?" By taking Superman off the board for the first half, it enables them to showcase Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg, etc. more properly (since their solo movies aren't coming out until after Justice League), and then Part II would be the full League taking on Brainiac or Darkseid or whoever once Superman comes back from being "dead" through whatever shenanigans.

I mean, they've wanted to use both Doomsday and the Death storyline for over 20 years. That hasn't changed just because they've rebooted the series twice. If Doomsday is in BvS at all, then safe money says Superman takes a fall. I mean why waste Doomsday in a movie if he doesn't kill Superman? That's the one and only thing he's useful for, his entire reason for being created.

I'm fine with it. Should be a fun ride.
