From trailer its hard to figure out for what tone their going for the movie.
Some moments look dark, but then their is some humor akin to Marvel movies.

Doomsday looks like generic CGI monster. Strange choice.
So far Wonder Woman looks the best.

*Shark_Blade* · 12-19-2015, 06:01 AM

I'm here for Wonder Woman.

It's kinda silly they spoiled the whole plot in a trailer.. "Batman v Superman", but then they showed them teaming up with WW to fight Doomsday??? Marketing fail much.

~~Leo656~~ · 12-20-2015, 02:39 AM

Sigh. Go figure.

For the 80th time: I have the entire synopsis on my hard drive and the trailers don't spoil anywhere near as much as people think. I'm not sure why people are being willfully ignorant, other than that it seems to be a recurring theme around here.

As well, the official movie summary that's been passed around for six months flat-out TELLS you that Superman and Batman team up by the end. What the f*ck.

Don't be stupid. I get that some people make "being stupid" their entire gimmick but those people shouldn't taint the air with their nonsense in the first place.

*Turo602* · 12-20-2015, 04:55 AM

I honestly don't know what else people were expecting. I thought it was pretty obvious that Batman and Superman fight, team up, and get help from Wonder Woman to take down the big bad. Not only does the official synopsis say that stuff, the title of the film pretty much tells you what to expect. Not really much of a spoiler, just how these superhero battles usually go.

~~Leo656~~ · 12-20-2015, 07:20 AM

I know, right?

You know, when I saw "Ernest Saves Christmas", I was shocked that he did, indeed, save Christmas as advertised. I was so furious that they gave away the entire movie in the title that I demanded my money back from Jim Varney personally, right before he died in that helicopter crash on the 4th of July. But that's a whole other story.

But yeah, how dare anything follow a logical order of events to their natural conclusions. That's so awful when that happens.

~~JakeSully~~ · 12-20-2015, 08:14 PM

Anyone glad the "No jokes policy" was bullsheet?

~~Leo656~~ · 12-20-2015, 08:40 PM

Stop it.

German ticket website CineStar is taking advance ticket orders for BvS already. They have the film listed as running 151 minutes, or about 2.5 hours. Which confirms what I guesstimated about 6-8 months ago.

I should go for broke. "Wonder Woman has an extended topless scene!" There, now that I put it out there it's absolutely going to happen, like everything else I've said. Nice.

Now you're REALLY raising people's hopes for the movie.

~~Leo656~~ · 12-20-2015, 09:06 PM

Eh, it's Gal Gadot, they'd have to add her cans with CGI anyway.

KIDDING! Kidding. Kind of.

More toys and stuff

*Candy Kappa* · 12-23-2015, 01:28 PM

The BvS Mafex stuff looks amazing. Never owned a Mafex figure though, been ogling at a Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spidey, but the shiny plastic is off putting.

I might need another beefy Batman, and I don't have a good Superman figure or a Wonder Woman in a more classical costume. Hoping for a Mafex Aquaman, one that smiths would have been nice.

~~Leo656~~ · 12-23-2015, 10:28 PM

Yeah, there's all this awesome stuff too. Wish I was rich.

I absolutely LOVE that Cavill's Superman rocks the Young Elvis sideburns.

He's awesome.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 12-23-2015, 10:55 PM

holy crap, MORE Cubed tags!?

Not a fan of this Batsuit, but it's a minor quibble. I'll give them an unappealing Batsuit in exchange for a boss Robin costume any day of the year.

~~Leo656~~ · 12-23-2015, 11:09 PM

I think it's fine, they're going for more of a woven mesh armor kind of look, which is needlessly busy-looking but it makes sense. It looks way worse on the toys than it does in the movie, with how the lighting obscures most of the detail.

Still a huge step up from Bale's clunky mess.

The first one was fine, and he was mostly shot in shadow in the first movie anyway, as is proper, but the second and third movie costumes were sooooo ugly. That plate armor look just didn't work at all, it was just the ugliest thing when the light hit it. So of course the third one has it mostly in bright light so it looks awful.

That was KILLIN' me, Smalls.

That Batman figure is both ridiculous and awesome for having interchangeable eyes AND mouths.

*CyberCubed* · 12-23-2015, 11:15 PM

Those changeable mouths are the best thing I've ever seen.

~~Leo656~~ · 12-23-2015, 11:18 PM

I'd match the slightly rolled-back eyes with the snarling mouth. My Batman would be eternally constipated, forever struggling to crunch out that last bit that just doesn't want to move.

"Is he taking a dump?"
"NO, he's thinking really hard!"

~~Commenter 42~~ · 12-23-2015, 11:35 PM

The Affleck doll looks out of shape, a tubby dude wearing patchy pajamas. Sorry, it's just reality.
Cavill not as bad, but still - the rubber costumes on the dolls look terrible. it looked wrong on Spider-man as well. Hot Toys needs a new plan.

You could compare this to Bale, but that's pointless - Nolan didn't get Batman at all, so who cares. I'm just not a fan of this designer guy's aesthetic.

I like that Cavill's cape is a perfect red, and long. That's nice. The head sculpts are good, but meh.
On the other hand, Prime 1 is set to release some stupid high detail stuff soon....and as much as i a'int into this movie - Prime 1 makes some wickedly impressive stuff...for the price of two kidneys of course:

Why yes, that IS stubble on an action figure.
They are Mad.

I don't think we are looking at the same pictures...

I have the Man of Steel Hot Toys, it's amazing. I want to try to snag both of these at some point.

But, those faces on the Prime 1....yeah, that's freaking sick.

~~Commenter 42~~ · 12-24-2015, 09:36 AM

I also have a few HT figures, and they make good stuff - but the rubber/plastic costumes bother me - for all the detail that goes into the face, the costumes could be better - especially at 300$ a pop.

I wouldn't say that Affleck looks like he's obtained the peak of human conditioning. (Not that we've had anyone play the part who has - But others at least looked lean.)

And before the "he's older and more mature..." blah blah...

This dude is 45:

Compared with this:

Not saying he's fat - just, not exactly in great shape, and it shows. He most definitely isn't in "Batman" shape.
