Man Of Steel 2/Superman vs Batman (2015)

[sheldonlevene]

100% agree. You can really get the cloth aspect in those empire shots. Sometimes it looks a little to tight and like the wrinkles are manufactured in some shots, and they still very well may be, but that is a great suit top to bottom. Love the battle damage difference between the standing up to supes shot and the one with Zach.

Has anyone seen the article/theory floating around that Leto's Joker is actually Jason Todd taking on a new form? To me it almost sounds too crazy and too far off from cannon, yet would be something that would be so awesome that I'm almost willing to go along with it--if in fact it is true.

That's very interesting. Haven't heard that. Do you have a link to the article? That could definitely be an interesting take on the character. Not sure how I feel about it. But that would give an interesting explanation as to why Bruce seems to be receiving notes like the one in the trailer - "you let your family die". That could definitely be a disgruntled Robin who has now taken on the persona of The Joker.

It started primarily as a Reddit theory but I have seen articles online talking about it.

I can't see Snyder, with his push to get us comic accurate costuming, character development and storylines, making an ex-dead Robin the Joker. That would be a massive jumping the shark moment and I would be totally miffed by it.

If you want to introduce villain Jason - just go with the revived Red Hood character.

I fall in love with this movie more and more each time I read about it

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=123451

Personally I think Snyder is a great choice

[junior94]

was just reading about some scheduling stuff. It seems right as they're winding down the press machine and yet going full tilt into all the different "world premiere" showings/parties for BvS in the spring, exact same time as when JLpt1 starts shooting. Hope some of those main casting groups won't start to feel sick of each other

[fridge112887]

Still kind of unsure about James Wan directing Aquaman.....

[WidespreadMule3]

I'm sure about them having an Aquaman movie at all.

I'm assuming you meant to say you're "unsure"?

If so, I would say it'll probably have the same kind of success as a movie like Thor.

[fridge112887]

Might go drive a few minutes up the road today and see if the Kent house is still up. If so, there's a 99.9% chance the goon guardian is still sitting out from in his car to prevent people like me from getting too close. The cemetery that they shot the Wayne/Kent funeral scene from the movie is just minutes from the house. Might check that out as well.

Oh I dunno, I can totally see how an Aquaman movie would be badass. I'm actually more concerned about a Wonder Woman movie.

No way in hell, and that's a good thing.

[Tomriddle]

Aquaman is basically a super tough, super strong, totally badass dude who has to take shit all the time because of the whole "his power is talking to fish" deal. Throw in some "he should be a great king but he's forced to live in exile" moody character development, Aquaman riding some awesome fantastical Atlantean sea-beasts, and nobody wearing much clothing cause the whole thing is taking place in or by water, and you have yourself a pretty good movie.

This comes on the heels of the news that Affleck's next two, non-Batman roles have been delayed.

This was awesome to read - the most important thing seems to be the Affleck praise.

I would expect DC/WB execs to praise their own film

My thoughts exactly. Similar situation when an athlete praises his/her coach and team after a big win - what else are they expected to do?

This morning I read another article claiming the Joker will make an appearance in BvS prior to SS. If true, at what point does this become too overcrowded? Don't get too antsy WB

Edit: I can't wait to read reviews of early screenings

[sheldonlevene]

It could be as simple as Batfleck walking through Arkham and having a brief exchange with Leto Joker. I don't think he'd have any more than a cap nod.

[fridge112887]

Probably

Not to knit pick, but after running into that cloud of debris and smoke once the building falls, Affleck looks pretty clean holding that young girl

I didn't notice that

I'm guessing that was Metropolis, from the end of MOS? If so, putting Wayne there is an awesome idea.

He's Batman, that's why.

Yes, end of MOS. There's a .gif floating around that shows the exact scene from MOS next to how we see it in BvS.

I didn't know MoS wasn't widely accepted by fan-boys. I thought it was fantastic and really enjoyed it.

[sheldonlevene]

Fans didn't like the overt destruction at the end of the film, and thought killing Zod wasn't Supermanny enough. Idk, I thought it was enjoyable.

[M. Steng]

Really? It was one of the most divisive CBMs of all time on these Internet streets. I for one loved it and think a lot of the criticism is pretty stupid, but it's definitely been a hotly- and highly-debated film since it came out.

[sheldonlevene]

I'm with you - I thought the way they shot and edited the fight scenes between all the Kryptonians was amazing. It felt like what would happen if aliens made it to earth and just went at it.

[M. Steng]

Sorry, was responding to WSM3. Couldn't believe he didn't know how controversial MoS was.

I also loved the film. How else would a battle between two God-like aliens in a major city play out?
