Zach Snyder's Superman (and Batman)

[Mara 27]

I looked and didn't see a topic for these yet...

 

 

Anyway, this is for the Man of Steel film... and the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice... (and any others that may come in the future).

 

 

 

I thought Man of Steel was awesome. Just watched it again a couple weeks ago.

 

 

 

And I'm pretty excited about the Batman vs. Superman one coming out in 2016.

I'm honestly not all that bothered about Ben Affleck as Batman, though I know a bunch of others are.

Plus, filming starts next month, in Michigan!

 

I suppose the only negative I have, is the title. I think they could have thought up something more original. ;p

I'm not a huge fan of DC's remakes. Christian Bale's Batman was far too dark and they tried too hard to make them serious. The same was for Man of Steel. I really liked Superman Returns because it was much more in line with the Superman mythos. The DC animated movies are far better, IMO. Just watched Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and Justice League: War. They were much more like how the characters should be.

 

I guess we'll see how this one turns out but my hopes are low.

[Mara 27]

Never saw Superman Returns. In the previews, it looked kind of silly.  And the only animation I've seen is the animated series TV show from the '90s.

 

But I have seen the original Superman... and I doubt anything will ever compare to that one.

 

 

 

Personally, I like this newer reimagined version of Superman. But I've never read the comics, either. And my only other exposure to the character has really just been Smallville. ;p

[Drake 53]

Superman Returns is a modern continuation of the original Superman films. Kevin Spacey alone is worth the watch.

I also liked Man of Steel. Wasn't my favourite superhero film ever, but I found it enjoyable enough. Not sure what to think of the Batman/Superman one though, especially with recasting Batman. :/

[Mara 27]

Well, Batman kind of had to be re-cast. Since this is a different set of films and everything. This is not Nolan's 'verse. ;p Christian Bale was done with Batman after the Dark Knight trilogy.

[Andy 51]

Yeah, but that's kind of what I mean. It's too soon to reboot again, IMO.

[Mara 27]

*shrug* I don't really see it as a reboot. More as just a reimagined character among the many that will populate this film.

 

There's rumors of other Justice League characters being involved, too. Like Wonder Woman, and to a lesser extent, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. Batman is just there because he's part of the overall story.

 

I shouldn't think they'll spend as much time on Batman's backstory as they did with Superman, but who knows.

 

 

I loved Bale's Batman, too. But I'm also curious to see how this one turns out and the juxtaposition with Superman. 

[Drake 53]

There's a Justice League movie in the works. Not certain if it's a spinoff of Snyder's interpretation.

[Mara 27]

Well, I had heard, maybe rumor, that whoever got cast as Batman in this new one, and probably Henry Cavill's Superman, would be in the Justice League movie. But I haven't heard anything lately.

[Mara 27]

Official title for the new movie is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

 

So methinks this is obvious foreshadowing to the Justice League moving, coming later.

[Mara 27]

So the trailer, which is supposed to drop next week, was leaked online...

Most of them were pulled, but I found one, if you're curious. (Have to scroll through the article for the video).

Leaked Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer

[Andy 51]

Yeah, that's gone.

[Mara 27]

No worries, the official one is up now!

 

 

[Andy 51]

Hmm... I don't really know what to think about it yet. There are much more exciting films coming up.

[Mara 27]

Haha, true... ;p This one is over a year away haha.

 

 

And the trailer doesn't really give too much away.  But I loved Man of Steel, so I'm willing to give this the benefit of a doubt.

 

 

I think my favorite part is Batman asking Superman: "Do you bleed?"

New trailer!
 

[Mara 27]

A few weeks ago, a new trailer was released:

 

 

 

 

Gotta love the end, when Wonder Woman has to save their butts, haha.

Edited December 30, 2015 by Mara

[Andy 51]

I hadn't even realised Wonder Woman was going to be in it. 

[Mara 27]

Oh, yeah. And Aquaman and Cyborg and others.

[Andy 51]

Anybody else? lol, why does everybody try and get all their characters into one film these days?

[Mara 27]

Well, it's also supposed to be the dawn of the Justice League, so I think that's why. I think most of these guys will just have cameos or small roles at the end.

[Mara 27]

The final trailer dropped yesterday!

 

 

 

I am so stoked for this movie.

 

 

[Mara 27]

Got my ticket for tomorrow night.

[Andy 51]

I'm still unsure, let me know how it was
