Like I give a fuck.

Yet here you are. You'll be at the theater in 2016, with everyone else.

Batman's eyes look eerily familiar. Wonder if he's hiding an arc reactor under his bat logo? Look at that suit. Is that really Affleck in there or is it fucking Louis Anderson?

Read The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller and you'll get what they're doing there.

That clip rocks! And I know you dig it.

LED lights in a Batsuit? Yeh, bro, I am practically pissing my Spiderman fruit of the looms with excitement. The best part of that clip is hearing all the virginal dorks flip their shit. What a bunch of tools.

They sound like a bunch of Doctor Who fans, huh? Put on your little half-moon glasses before you watch the clip. Those aren't his regular duds. That's a larger armored suit. If you guys had any passing knowledge of Miller's 1986 graphic novel, you'd have an idea of what's going on.

Btw, ASM3 has been pushed back to 2018 because ASM2 has yet to gross more than ASM.

I've read it. Thanks. A straight up standalone adaptation of any of the classic graphic novels, Dark Knight, Killing Joke etc. would've been awesome. Get Aronofsky or some other auteur to do it. Right now, as I've said before, WB is just pillaging the Batman cash-cow because Man of Steel, a little like Green Lantern, did not have the legs to support or to launch the DC film universe on its own.

Btw, ASM3 has been pushed back to 2018 because ASM2 has yet to gross more than ASM.

Correct. Many in the industry speculate there will be no ASM3. What other sequel was recently announced as being released in 2018? Oh rite. Man of Steel 2. Don't hold your breath for that one either...

Green Lantern barely made $220M in 4 months of general release worldwide. $103M of that was from foreign sales. That, my friend, is a FLOP. A big, wet, flopping fish. They fucked up with that movie, and it wasn't due to lack of appeal for the character or DC.

Man of Steel — $668M worldwide, not factoring in DVD sales. $291M domestic.

So again, you're wrong. They are using THIS movie to set up Justice League because Nolan's trilogy is not part of the cinematic DCU they're crafting.

(If you hate these movies, they're rebooting Spawn for you.)

Just keep adding coins to the jar, dude.

You're right. As I've said many times. Screw Sony Pictures and Avi Arad for forcing Venom into SM3 and ruining that movie and forcing the reboot. They screwed Raimi and the character. Hoping they eventually sell the rights back to Marvel so they can do it right. SM3 and ASM2, cool special effects but too many new characters = shitty movies. Sound familiar?

[The_Noble_Cause]

I said "a little like Green Lantern", not alot. Learn how to read. Both GL and MOS were domestic disappointments.

Don't backpedal. It doesn't matter if you wrote "a little" or "a lot." What matters is that you wrote like, and the message was clear.

If MoS was a "domestic disappointment" (which is purely your opinion), then why were two sequels announced for Godzilla, which has grossed under $200M domestically?

A: Because studios are looking at the whole picture, not just what it makes here. And because audiences catch on. Superman Returns was a flop. It went way over budget and only barely cracked $200M here. In fact, that movie didn't even make $400M worldwide, while Man of Steel grossed hundreds of millions of dollars more, even when it was bookended by stiff competition. Returns would've gotten a sequel, anyway, but critically it was met with far less enthusiasm than most people at the time wanted to admit.

The way the characters are treated is more important. It should have been a Sandman & Hydroman team-up. The Venom saga required its own movie and they brought back Harry as Green Goblin II way too soon. And that dumb ending: "I forgive you." That was hysterical...as in hysterically lame, after two really cool movies. The "emo Parker" sequence was dreck.

ASM2 brings Green Goblin back (again), features Electro (he's enough for one movie, like Doc Ock), and then throws in Rhino for laughs to set up the Sinister Six movie. The Gwen Stacy-Green Goblin saga requires its own movie.

See a pattern?

[The_Noble_Cause]

I'm not backpedaling. If MOS was such a hit, the sequel wouldn't be slated for 2018. At this point, it's do or die for WB and DC. To save face, they have to make a move. As an insurance policy, they included Batman.

[verslibre]

Everyone's gonna do the Batusi!

Good fucking CHRIST! I seriously locked myself out of this damn place. Was in the wrong spot on my phone and I needed to change some things up and my account got deactivated until Drew activates it again due to an email change. Get on that, Drew!

Holy HELL what a weekend!!!!!!!!!!

WB CC panel. Zack Snyder; Ben Affleck; Henry Cavill; Gal Gadot get ENORMOUS pops:

This last Bat-pic still NEEDS to be released:

[YoungJRNYfan]

You're out of your damn skull. In all of 2013, out of the top 100 rank, MoS, domestically, ranked 5th among the charts at 291+ million, besting out Gravity and even Monsters University, who were overall world-wide hits. It blows my damn mind that $291 domestic is labeled a disappointment. Green Lantern and MoS in the same sentence makes me sick to even acknowledge givin' that Green Lantern barely made over $110 million. Green Lantern's WORLDWIDE total didn't even come CLOSE to Man of Steel's domestic total. Just STAWP.

Green Lantern was supposed to be the start of the DCU and THAT failed miserably. Man of Steel and the revamped world of Superman picked up where Green Lantern failed and WB committed into not only getting Superman right, but give us a foundation of finally creating more superhero properties when it comes to their Justice League.

All of the Easter Eggs in Man of Steel are there for a reason. MoS was always going to be the launching pad to the DCCuniverse. Comparing such to Batman's Nolan trilogy is a fans #1 mistake in comparing because truth be told, there IS no comparison between the two built universe's other than having the same tone and added realism to their superhero pallet. Lets not act like Man of Steel was never synonymous to the shared DCCuniverse.

The entire purpose and success's of Man of Steel led us to where we are today and was the studio's hope. They felt confident enough in MoS's numbers to announce (only ONE month into MoS's release) a shared DCCinematic Universe, which is what they've tried to do years prior (Green Lantern.) Green Lantern was the studios setback....until Man of Steel came along.

If Man of Steel wasn't a hit, in one month, they wouldn't officially announce the cast of Man of Steel returning (Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishbourne and Diane Lane) let alone the actual DIRECTOR himself in Zack Snyder.

So you're telling us that Man of Steel wasn't a hit SO much that the studio would chance bringing in the SAME EXACT creative team and cast to take upon the huge task of a Batman/Superman movie as a "do or die" situation? Open your eyes. Man of Steel was do or die. If MoS failed, we would of got nothing but Bat-solo's and WB would have folded JL. I don't get how HARD it is to understand such LOGIC and FACT.

[YoungJRNYfan]

Like I give a fuck.

You give a fuck. I don't give a fuck about most of these threads started in this forum and yet, you don't see my posting in them. Admit it. You can't get enough of Batman V Superman Funny thing is, you don't even know it.


It's funny. Though Marvel puts out 100 films a year, there's just 100X more interesting things to talk about when it comes to Batman V Superman. It's not even close and it's proven by double the traffic in the genre's forum communities.

There is something called staying true to the source material. Hollywood sometimes stays away from such material, but not Zack Snyder. His style is overloaded with iconic imagery and heavy handed visuals that stem virtually out of the comic book world. LED lights in TDKR's battle armor Bat-suit has fans salivating. We've NEVER seen an adapted Batman that came straight from the comics. In all these decades, we're getting that with Superman and Batman thanks for Snyder.

Oh, you mean the actual FANS of these characters that will be the ones that see this movie repeat viewing after repeat viewing? Yeah, FUCK THEM. NERDS.

Yeah, The same actual fans that failed to come out for repeat viewings of MOS which helped contribute to the major drop off and quick descent after weak word of mouth.

There's a distinct divide when it comes to fans of Superman. With the foulness of ASS that was Superman Returns, most fans gave up on Superman in cinema and stayed away from MoS, which is why the studio started from scratch. A reboot that not only was a reboot, but a reboot that took away his classic costume and changes to the mythology. Most Supes fan at that point were done the moment they took the red trunks away but the line in the sand was drawn.

Not only that, but most of the fanbase is made up of Christopher Reeve worshipers, not natural Superman fans when it comes to the bigscreen so not only did Man of Steel have an uphill battle of Superman Returns, a reboot and changing directions of his iconic stature and direction, it also had to look Reeve fans in the face and dare to be different.

The competition was another thing. After all the factors above, it still had stiff competition of divisive critical acclaim. Still, the movie stabilized, even after the huge second drop with stiff competition, to $668 million World Wide. It was a number that got us in position for the better to not only the Superman franchise moving forward, but the shared Universe as well.

Man of Steel rejuvenated Superman, even with the negative nancies. Overall, it's what the character needed and it's the RIGHT direction.

BluRay and DVD sales continue to soar, which are a huge testament to the success's of the movie. Box office isn't everything. Home video is just as important after the fact and MoS has proved to be a BEAST in those sales.

What a raft of apologetic, self-serving shit. Most Supes fans are Christopher Reeve fans only? Superman Returns damaged the brand? Stop making excuses.

[YoungJRNYfan]

Bullshit. It's the damn truth man!

Besides, you two act like $668 is a flat out bomb! Get over yourself admiration of trolling for one second and realize the numbers for MoS at $668 million WW is still a great all around number at the BO. It wasn't a bomb by any means. I'd agree with you guys if proven otherwise. Instead, MoS did what it was supposed to do. Hell, back in 2010 in pre-production, most predicted it would be lucky to hit $400 million WW. It did its job and did a great number for a rebooted franchise, especially Superman with all factors involved.

[verslibre]

When it comes to the Superman of the movies, yes, there are those who would rather watch Superman, Superman II and even Superman III over and over again rather than give a new guy a spitwad's chance on sizzling summer asphalt.

Superman Returns damaged the brand? Stop making excuses.

Since it continues to be the focus of much criticism for being a shameless love letter (more like mutual masturbation session) to the Donner films, you can answer your own question, can you not?

WB absolutely owned Hall H that day, with a one-two-three slam in Batman v Superman, Mad Max: Fury Road and the third Hobbit movie.

But all reports conclude it's BvS where the crowd went absolutely nuts when they saw the footage. Nobody expected anything this year. Zack, Henry, Gal and Ben strolled right out, and then Zack went (more or less) "Check this shit out!" It wasn't just any old footage. He didn't give everyone a McNugget, he brought out a Double Whopper!
