Pattern Ghost Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 New teaser is up: I thought we had another thread for this besides my Ben Affleck casting one, but couldn't find it, so here's another one. Mods feel free to merge if you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Jokes aside, I actually think the movie itself will be fine. How they're promoting it however may make me want to get my hands on some anti-depressants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaplayboy Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Buzzfeed hired experts to compute how many Metropolis residents bought the farm in Man of Steel. Their estimate was 129,000 KIA, 250,000+ MIA(and presumed dead), and over 1,000,000 wounded. Direct costs around 700 billion, indirect around 2 trillion. Uh, yay? Wouldn't Bronze Age Superman consider that an epic fail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I guess you have to factor in how many would have died if he hadn't stopped the other Kryptonians. Like, the entire human race. The trailer looks really well shot, and the basic premise -- how humanity would really react to the appearance of a Superman -- is logical and intriguing. But it all looks so damn bleak and depressing. Like DC wants all their properties to look like Christopher Nolan's work. But that's Batman. The other half of this movie is Superman. Superman is supposed to be about hope, about inspiration. If Zack Snyder forgets that again I will be majorly pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewing Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 This looks terrible. In every single way. I don't think I ever read the source stories. This looks like Batman goes NUTS because he is not the most powerful being around, or because Superman is, or something? No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 It looks like a Dark Knight telling - without everyone being old. And it really looks more like Batman is being set up as "the one man who can save us from Superman." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Very dark and grim and full of extra angst. I know some guys who can't stand comics that think this is all better because its realistic and makes sense to them but it doesn't look like much fun.

Greywind Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 My understanding is that Luthor is the catalyst that sends Supes after Bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman is supposed to be about hope, about inspiration. If Zack Snyder forgets that again I will be majorly pissed. Its not Snyder's fault. I think its the writers. One of which is David Goyer, the Slayer of super hero franchises (he killed Blade and Ghost Rider) He started with some good scrpits (Dark city) but is responsible for some absolute turds. I love Snyders direction. He is a brilliant visual director and is great with action. the spectacular fight scenes with thr Kryptoians in Man of Steel are a testament to his talent, as were thr scenes in 300 and Sucker Punch (the guy knows how to turn an action scene into visual poetry) but he really needs a good screen writer to make him shine and unfortunately i do not believe Goyer is that writer. Unfortunately he is the bead writer for the entire Justice League arc and i am not happy about that fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Anyone who writes as much as Goyer does is going to have misses as well as hits. His Blade II was brilliant. And most folks worship the keys he typed out The Dark Knight on, so clearly Hollywood has good reason to turn to him for this sort of thing.

Blade II is one of my favorite films, but i attribute that far more to Del Toro's direction and style. He's my other favorite director. After Blade II came out and they were talking about Blade 3, Goyer did an interview where he lambasted Del Toro's vision of Blade, saying that Del Toro went too comic book with the action and that in Blade Trinity, he wanted to bring it back down to earth and show a more realistic Blade. F*** you Goyer. Blade is a movie about a half vampire who hunts other vampires with a bladed boomerang. Its not supposednto he realistic, its supposed to be exciting and pulse pounding! After seeing Blade Trinity and mr Goyers "improvements" to Blade (he wrote and directed that turd himself) I was done with the guy after that.

Greywind Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Goyer is a decent script writer. He's a lousy director and I hope no one ever puts his ass in that chair again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, he's hit and miss. Seemingly more miss recently. Batman Begins and Dark Knight were both excellent. Rises was a snooze fest. Man of Steel, while pretty to look at (Snyders direction) was lacking substance (writing issue). I fear for Justice League in his hands. Next thing you know he's gonna want to make the Justice League more "realistic". Asshat. I really hope i'm wrong and that Zack Snyder can salvage it.

NuSoardGraphite Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm sorry for the Rant guys, but Blade Trinity really upset me. And we havent even gone into what he did to Ghost Rider...*shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mhoram Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I could see this as a possible plot - superman's guilt at not saving everyone / having to kill Zod made him realize him limitations (and the Batman thing just helps this along) and that is the emotional foundation of the Justice League - getting together a group of people so that doesn't happen again.
