itt: consternation and wailing about Zach Snyder's upcoming SUPERMAN/BATMAN film/sequel to MAN OF STEEL -- official title: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

u tell em shakedog

(tbf i'm not a fan of this stuff either but why bother hating ppl who like it or are curious)

(this trailer also does...not look promising and affleck is the best thing in it but i'll prob never have that suspicion confirmed)

c on dc

I want Affleck's solo Bats movie to be an adaptation of All Star Batman and Robin

he could really sell this imo

Looks good up until the el destructo CGI action sequences get smoothed out into video game cutscenes.

jeez guys imo the shot of miller dk standing by the bat signal is A+

really shoehorned Wonder Woman in there

seems a bit cerebral for me. might have gone to see this if they'd fitted harry potter into the narrative.

finally watched the trailer; this looks dumb as shit and i plan to wait a year and a half and then watch two minute chunks of it on cable until i can't stand anymore, same as i did man of steel

haha, Jesse really hates this shit

they're sticking hard to that DKR design

Except in DKR Superman was brilliant flashes of primary colour against the murky greys...

superman the brownest, greenest shade of blue

just for Bats obviously; but yeah that DRK Supes was pretty "solid"

oops. i mean, that (DORK) DKR Supes

the sheen on supes' costume reminds me of those horrible plasticky embossed covers from the height of 90s-gimmick madness

weird use of helvetica on that cover

dying at this

pretty dead on

Sounds like a pod-era ween demo

it's from Always Sunny in Philadelphia's "musical"

oh I see

Some entertainment!

It does not take a cognitive therapist to notice that Batman vs. Superman will be “very serious” but Eisenberg spelled it out for us anyway:

"It was written by this guy, Chris Terrio — this is like his first movie after Argo. He’s just this brilliant writer of characters. So this movie is, you know, it’s not like a kind of cartoonish superhero movie. It’s this very serious and well acted, well written, well directed movie. It’s really phenomenal."

http://screencrush.com/zack-snyder-batman-vs-superman-ant-man/

"I look at [Batman vs. Superman] as more being mythological than, say, bubblegum. And I think that that’s appropriate for Batman and Superman because they’re the most mythological of our superheroes […] But I feel like Batman and Superman are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they’re Batman and Superman. They’re not just, like, the flavor of the week Ant-Man—not to be mean, but whatever it is. What is the next Blank-Man?"

Interestingly, Snyder notes in another interview, that he hasn't even seen Ant-Man yet.

So basically what they're saying is comic book movies...not just for kids anymore!!!

Can the clearly-embarassed people who feel that comic book movies need to be elevated above the common trash of comics please stop making comic book movies?

Is he suggesting they should remake Blankman?

batman and superman are iconic and bubblegum and if you don't understand that both are equally important you shouldn't be making movies about either tbh

^^^

everybody otm forever has this movie been consigned to the trashbin of history yet? would so like to move on

i love that wb is spinning the rumor mill as "we love benman so much we want more benman in everything, even in the director's chair" rather than "ok zack snyder and henry cavill fucking suck"

also lol at trying to compliment yourself with "Batman is timeless, ant-man is a flavor of the month" when the issue is really that it's HARD to make an unpopular batman movie, and making a star out of the 10th most popular avenger takes actual effort.

"But I feel like shrek is transcendent of animated movies in a way, because its Shrek. They’re not just, like, the flavor of the week Inside-Out—not to be mean, but whatever it is. What is the next Pixar?"

the 10th most popular avenger

sick burn on wonder man croup

Why so not serious?

sick burn on wonder man croup

lol i first wrote 12th then 7th then was like uhhh honestly i have no idea where ant-man would rank or even who's been an avenger in comics over the last 20 years

they've gone w/ ringers like wolverine and spiderman so tenth seems very plausible

everybody is an avenger

avenging is a state of mind

Also, rights management.

rights management is a state of mind

odds are this movie is gonna do fine. dark knight rises and man of steel were on many levels of awful but made a billion and 660m respectively globally, and this a movie where those guys punch each other. and if ben really does walk away with the movie, it's possible a more bat-focused Justice League will do well too. the question is really more whether people will give enough of a shit about tertiary characters like Suicide Squad or Aquaman to do better than the 200m Green Lantern made (which sucks when your pre-advertising budget is 150m). Being able to make "flavor of the month" characters like those work is the real challenge.

it's funny that "schadenfreude" for this film is that it makes only 800 million dollars and gets bad audience buzz

Yeah, there's no way this is gonna be a Fantastic Four-level disaster.

Argo was excessively cartoonish to me, Mr Eisenberg, thx
