Haha, I can't wait to see this movie and all the reactions!
Side Note: I don't know why but every time I see Bruce's butler I see Robert Downey Jr….
Really cause all I see is

BvS looks awful, more of the crap I didn't like in DKR or Man of Steel. Not surprisign given its all the same people involved. Unless the reviews are positively glowing I'm just gonna skip this one. And sadly, probably every other film DC puts out for the next 10 years, since they want them all to have the exact same dour desaturated tone.
I'm not excited at all for a freaking BATMAN AND SUPERMAN movie. 15 year old me would never believe it.
I wonder if they realize more people are going to read that as "Corpse" than "Core".
Lol look at this guy

The first two minutes pretty well encapsulate what the DC Universe has become.
The Batman vs Superman trailer was so unbelievably meh for me, except for the split seconds Wonder Woman was in. I enjoyed those. But what the hell are they doing? Martha Kent telling Clark to fuck the world? Batman being this absolute, pure vigilante who somehow has the right to judge Superman cause 'Batman has never done wrong'? Even more 'Superman = Jesus' symbolism? Yeah, no. Fuck you.
And they're trying so hard to make Jesse Eisenberg's Lex to be the next Heath Ledger Joker. "The red capes are coming! The red capes are coming!" Can we NOT give him shit dialogue and quotes? Like, who the fuck is going to go through all the Internet going "The red capes are coming!". Just rolls off the tongue like 'Why so serious?', right?
Honestly, I just want to throw that movie in the dumpster, cause I'm all about Suicide Squad. I went into that trailer expecting them to do something wrong, but there was nothing and I'm all for it. I like Leto Joker so far. I love Margot Robbie as Harley so far, and I pray that this movie does right by Harley. I'm super excited for Will Smith in general.
The one thing you have to accept with this movie: This isn't going to be Harley having all the fun she usually has in TAS Batman and such. This going to be 'emotionally damaged' Harley. And I'm excited for that, because I want to see Harley break away from Joker in this movie, and finally kill at least half of the populations love of romanticizing Joker and Harley.
Overall felt it was prettttttttttttyyyyyy filled with Messiah imagery and the usual dark batman schtick that didn't really strike a chord with me on any level
Suicide Squad let's go
Because he's Will Smith in a movie that doesn't look like shit.
Given his track record I'm starting to think it's not the movie's fault they were terrible:ninja:.

Winter's Tale, Men and Black 3, and After Earth were all horrible movies by their own merits with or without Will. In fact, Men and Black 2 would have been awful without Will.
I thought Hancock was good, and I Am Legend was decent.
I would go out of my way and say that his presence and his son's presence in After Earth was a mistake, but the movie didn't have much going for it to begin with.
I will defend Will Smith until he makes another 'After Earth' (and probably still after that) but in the meantime his latest movie 'Focus' with Margot Robbie was a hell of a lot of fun.

"After After Earth"
…Earth
A prequel to "After Earth" ("Before After Earth")
Double the potential failure!
Will Smith is a great actor. He's proved that time and time again in his good stuff. Incredibly charismatic. Most of his bad stuff you can blame on the directors, but you can see why he signed up for any given movie.
You can plame most of the blame of After Earth on Shamalamading dong. The man made Will SMith, charisma King, a character that was emotionless. What the hell.
I'm just upset that he had to pass up the Tarantino film, in a role that was literally written for him, because he was already signed up for MIB3 and didn't want to make the production wait. Jaimie Foxx did okay but Will… that woulda been something.

Oooh Focus was indeed fun.
Solid movie of its kind.
@TLC:
So in the MoS trailer we got Pa Kent telling Superman he should let children drown and now in this trailer we got Ma Kent telling him to fuck the world…so apparently these filmmakers haven't learned a goddamn thing.
Martha Kent telling Clark to fuck the world?
In Martha's defense she told Clark to be a hero or don't be a hero. He just saved the world and they're trying to publicly lynch him for it. Yes, I understand why. Ultimately, the decision on how to proceed from there is his choice and his choice alone. His responsibility. There is an obvious running theme here of "choice" connecting from MoS. Pa Kent did not tell Clark to let people die. That's very misleading. He clearly said he has a choice and what he chooses has far reaching consequences. Play hero and risk the world finding out about you and taking your childhood away, or keep your powers a secret and try not to turn the world upside down on its head just yet. It's his choice, his responsibility. In fact, what Martha Kent is saying to Clark is veerrrrry similar to what Jonathan said years ago when Clark was just a kid. They're not going to force their son to be a hero, but they will encourage him to find his own destiny.
!
Sorry, no.
"Maybe you should let that bus full of children drown" is just never going to be good advice.
No matter how you couch it as a "choice" or "a discussion that needs to be had." Its not something the Kents should ever have to think once about. And it shouldn't be part of the upbringing process for Superman.
Its so tonally wrong for Superman its just… wrong. NO Superhero character should be going "Yeah maybe that's a good idea."
And that the writers and director thought it was a key crucial thing that needed including in the first place?
(And don't give me the crap about "It's not your superman, its a new edgier superman for the times" nonsense. Make a new Superhero if thats what you want to do. Leave the one that's endured for 80 years as who he is.)
Maybe Family Guy could have a scene about it. As a horrible black humor gag. Where he balances the idea of saving a bus of children against getting a burritto. But never as a serious discussion.
Sorry, no.

The way Pa Kent phrased it, the handling of the whole situation seemed to put him out of his depth because he felt like the decision was bigger than, as he put it, "their lives and all the lives around them" because Clark being discovered would change the entire world. Yes, it does sound cold, especially for a Superman movie coming from Kent's parents but he clearly wasn't saying kill the kids.
He pretty explicitly said "maybe you should have let them drown." It was in the trailers and everything.
So we got to hear him say it a lot for a few months.
Even in context with a full scene around it in the movie it was awful and terrible.
I'm too happy with Harley to really care about Man of Steel arguments.
Yeah, maaayybeee. :ninja:
I don't know. Just like Jonathan Kent, I don't know. It's a tough thing to defend because even though I empathize with the weight of the responsibility he has of raising Clark and the feeling of being way out of his league for raising this alien kid with special powers (like with a regular kid but x100), maybe he shouldn't give him too many options and just try to be as "dad" as possible.
Edit: I don't know how to start the video at a specific time. Just skip to 13:16 and yada yada yada you only have to watch for 20 seconds. Nope, I figured it out~
I'm too happy with Harley to really care about Man of Steel arguments.
Yup, you and me both, Insider.
Hopefully this should be the final word on MoS (also some shameless self-promotion :U):
That sigh Supes gives at the end shows more subtlety than the entirety of Man of Steel.
I'm excited for the DC Cinematic Universe so it's all good news to me. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is doing so well in entertaining us and promising at least a couple more years of fun, I just can't but help be excited for DC too because that's just added entertainment value. Especially since I'm part of the one half of the populous that actually like the DCCU beginning, lol.
Eh, we've argued the MoS stuff for 2 years. It is what it is.
If you liked it, fine. But the tone was wrong for Superman.
Hang on, hang on. Lemme take that Man of Steel off your shoulders there. And…
And it's gone! Forgotten! Erased from our minds!
Now get in the car!
We're going to take a ride to where characters do horrible things because they've always done horrible things, and where the tone fits.
I don't quite recall, but I feel like I was promised that I'd see in MoS, realistically, how the world - the common folk - would react to this alien. Looks like that's what I'm getting in this sequel. I like that. Taken aback, really, cus of the ha ha way MoS ended. But whatever.
I have higher hopes for Batman v Superman because of the writer. And the trailer looks great. Affleck looks great as Batman and Wayne. Wonder Woman looks good in the trailer. All of the pictures have her doing this odd looking slightly down pose.
Kid Bruce has a funny haircut though. Kids in films, man.
Sorry, no.

You giving people way too much weight. It doesn't matter if 20 people die-that shit happens all the time, open your eyes-when there is way more at stake. Jonathan didn't force him to let people die, in order to keep his existence a secret. He just said that decisions have concequences. It is all up to Clark to decide. Clark had face in Jonathans conviction that the world is not ready for him. So he decided to let his father die. Clark has to live with that concequense of this decision.
I guess, you only can't live with that because you can't imagine what would happen if there is an Alien among us. You really think that the humanity will let him have his way? There will be people who would think that, but there will also be fanatics, people whom are jealous, people who want him dead, people who want to experiment on him, people who hate him because he let people die and all these people will go to the end of the universe to bring him down and not only him.
I just don't understand what DC is trying to do with their cinematic universe, starting with them having Zack Snyder of all people seemingly heading it. lol

Margot Robbie needs to stop being so hot. tear
The one thing DC is doing right, is where Marvel doesn't care about it's Villains, DC does.
If a video falls in the forest and no one is around to hear does it make a sound?
I'm guessing no.

They have interesting villains besides Heath Ledger Joker?
I'm praying and hoping Jesse Eisenberg does right by Lex Luthor. I'm so very skeptical from the trailer but, who knows? I wasn't there, I mean I was alive but I wasn't "in the know", for the whole Heath Ledger being cast as Joker uproar. His portrayal of the iconic villain caught me completely by surprise and no preconceived notions about it either way. Now I'm here for this and I have my doubts. The worst thing Jesse can do is screw it up and I'll be like "eehhhh kinda expected it" or he can surprise me. Please surprise me.
Honest question here, does everyone talking about Lex in that trailer just know who he was from having been following casting decision news and such? Because I'm going to come right out and say, if it weren't for the context of you all talking about it, then I never would have even thought to guess that that character in the trailer was Lex.

Yes, most likely everyone knows that's Lex Luthor because Jesse Eisenberg plays Lex Luthor rather than everyone knows that's Lex because he looks like the iconic Lex Luthor.
Him gazing longingly at that kryptonite rock, his opulence, connections to high government officials, and his obvious disdain for Superman might give it away for others though.

There was Bane.

Yes, when they cast Jesse Eisenberg they announced he was Luthor at the same time. And the internet blew up.
They have an entire movie dedicate to the villains coming out known as suicide squad. They could fuck this up all day, and still give more care than Marvel.
Interesting DC movie villains:
And depending on if you're a fan of Man of Steel or not, Superman
@Purple:

Yeah but he's not interesting so

People stopped complaining about the way Tom Hardy sounded in costume and in general about "Rises" to like Bane?

People just complain about how Bane was pathetically killed off in The Dark Knight Rises now.
DC might do okay with their villains, but they sure as heck don't know how to give them a solid death. Bane went from a uncaring, imposing force, and, in mere minutes, was turned into a crying baby who was destroyed not even by the main character of the movie.

Most people actually like Bane for what he is. It's the writing toward the end where he was basically placed in the dumpster is what sets people off.
Plus, people just like Tom Hardy.

Interesting DC movie villains:
- Heath Ledger's Joker
- Everyone in the 66 movie, special mention to Frank Gorshin's Riddler
- Terrence Stamp's Zod
- I guess maybe Ra's al-Ghul?
-Jack Nicholson's Joker?
-Michelle Pfieffer's Catwoman? (I might be alone on this one, but I love her)
-Jack Nicholson's Joker?
Also known as Jack Nicholson's Jack Nicholson-in-clown-makeup.
What about Jim Carrey's Riddler?

AKA Jim Carrey wearing a Riddler costume.
Funny how so many of the 90's Batman villains were just the actors playing themselves.
Except of course for Tommy Lee Jones who was just acting totally goofy for some reason.
-Michelle Pfieffer's Catwoman? (I might be alone on this one, but I love her)
I think she's considered a gay icon.

A mousy nobody being reborn as a beautiful and ultra-confident person can be construed as coming out metaphor…?

Oh no, I get it, I just find the way she "came out" absolutely goofy and hilarious.
Of course she's a gay icon.
She's a woman who loves herself a good pussy.
