The Comic Book Film Thread *** SPOILERS ***

[T.S Quint]

Watched the BvS trailer again. Even more epic than I originally thought. So many cool things going on.
I must have missed the Robin costume the first time. Doesn't look like a kid's size though, so maybe Robin was older.
That shot of Batman avoiding Supe's heat vision with the grappling hook just f**king rocks!
I like the look o Wonder Woman. Don't care that she's skinny. Still hoping her acting is up to par.
Batman look to be the way I always wanted - the cruel, mean agent of vengeance. He is someone to be feared by criminals. An actual boogeyman. Affleck looks perfect, and the batsuit looks like the best one seen on screen.
Very short shot of Zod's dead body. Wondering how that comes into play. Will they use his DNA to create Doomsday? Hope not - not in this movie anyway.
The shot of Supes just ripping open the Batmobile and Bats just stands up to him.

So many things to talk about.
I just can't freaking wait for this movie!

We also find out why Batman is pissed, one of his towers collapses in the Zod fight in MoS and killed dozens.

It's a wig I think. Remember Superman The Movie. Lex wore a wig in that one too and only took it off in the very end.

Affleck has been pretty good in his acting for the last few years. He'll take the role in his and Snyder's direction they see fit. He and the whole movie will be criticized for what ever reason but it will still be massively successful and watched by millions.

I'm glad it's dark. It's different and interesting. You can go into any Mavel movie now and know that you're not going to be shocked or surprised by anything any more.

Its been a while. Might have to rewatch it. Thanks though.

i just remember how many people were so quick to compare Keaton to Bale. I adore the 2 Tim Burton batman films so I have a slight bias towards Keaton but I think Affleck will knock them both out of the park.

the "critics" who (rightfully) blew smoke up Bales ass for the Dark Knight trilogy might pan Affleck's performance in the end but at the end of the day they really are 2 different stories.

so if Begins is based on "year one" and Dawn of Justice is loosely based on "Dark knight returns" then which one came in the middle? Never read a lot of comics/graphic novels but might have to read them.

DKR was also loosely based on "Knightfall", right?

Yes it was.
Basically only the part where Bane breaks his back. The rest is all original.
Would have been interesting to see Nolan include the part about another person taking on the mantle of the Batman in Bruce Wayne's absence. Before I saw the movie I originally thought that's what Joseph Gordon Levitt's character was going to do.

Robin clearly killed by Joker, could they be setting up a Jason Todd story line for a standalone Batman film down the road?

This one maybe...?

That would be cool.
Also, if that was Jason Todd, does that mean there could be a Nightwing out there somewhere?

 

[Game_Breaker]

I know this is old, but I only just saw it. A young Joker in the Gotham series:

I remember there being rumours about Nightwing possibly appearing in Dawn of Justice, though I don't think they ever amounted to anything.

Suicide Squad looking good.

Margot Robbie and Jared Leto will steal the show judged on that. Will Smith doesn't seem to fit

Harley and Joker will be the "Theatrical" characters while i think Deadshot (smith) will have a pretty dark background to do with family (judging by clip)

 

[Parra Pride]

I wish they kept the Deadshot from Arrow.

 

[T.S Quint]

I'm glad they didn't.

 

[vvvrulz]

Meh... that didn't impress me at all.

Leto is a fantastic actor mind you, but everything in that trailer looked pretty half arsed to me.
Will Smith as someone mentioned looks & sounds ridiculous

Who cares about the holocaust, Magneto must be rebooted as a brother!

If this actually happened I'm sure it would be about two minutes before another SJW accused Marvel of playing the Scary Black Man trope.

What a completely stupid idea. I mean the Holocaust had no impact on the greater world now did it :sarcasm: FFS, these people are just idiots.

A few people have broken down the trailer, and the most interesting thing for me is the shot of Leto's Joker at the end looks to be a flash back scene where he's torturing Harley Quinn and the "I'm not gonna kill you" line is directed at her

This is a screen shot of one scene in the trailer

I'm guessing it's a flashback because Margot Robbie looks normal (i.e pre- Harley Quinn days) and obviously the guy standing over her is the Joker. If this is the case, then it could be possible that all the images we've seen of Joker so far are from the past in this universe.

Nooooo not really. Weve seen plenty of images of the Joker in the purple suit and driving the sports car, which we also see Harley Quinn inside of.
