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

watching that trailer made me imagine a pair of glasses kinda like the ones from They Live: when you put them on you can no longer see CGI

As usual my post will state the obv, but man that trailer spoils so much for the poor fans.

also, looks terrible

and what the hell at the colour/contrast balance?

i'm like 95% sure that zack snyder has a serious visual impairment which he's somehow managed to conceal from the public and his coworkers for his entire career

really psyched to see the big alien thing in the sky shooting at skyscrapers, like that hasnt been in half a dozen of these damn movies already

That is a flashback scene from Man of Steel.

i really hope they went to the trouble of getting michael shannon back for this one just to play a motionless corpse

this looks Joel Shumacher level bad

it reminds me of that simpsons with king arthur and the ninjas, except that might require some kind of creative leap.

surely they could have fitted harry potter in here...

to be fair we're due

Enh, the Green Lantern movie already exists. All the Fantastic Four movies exist.

sure but those are merely bad movies

The preview seems to be saying "this movie will be kind of funny in Act I, absolutely godawful in Act II, and then Act III will be almost redeemed by the presence of Gal Gadot"

So basically if you really just want to see a few minutes of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman you should buy a ticket, but otherwise you should not

BTW Gal Gadot? WS

so torn...

this is gonna be a slash flick

Consider buying a ticket to another movie that starts 20 minutes before this one ends, then wandering in to the wrong theater by sheer accident.

I hope they can scare up a pair of shorts for Doomsday

Why is Ben Affleck doing Batman with a marble-mouthed Jimmy Stewart/Martin Sheen voice?

Terrible as it looks, it's a nice contrast to the increasingly risk averse cookie cutter Marvel shit that people still pretend is supposed to be exciting

I love that argument. It's basically - "say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it's an ethos"

ah come on, you can't compare the nazis to this film

Movie will probably kill 6 million brain cells

Making it that much easier to enjoy the third installment

Bullshit? Real? Who cares!

This Batman will come across as a villain to some viewers; he enjoys inflicting pain on criminals. There was a scene where he was branding a criminal, and he had the biggest smile on his face.

look at this pasty motherfucker

Me am Bizarro!

Glad to see Snyder's apparently doubling down on ignoring every previous depiction of Superman as a generally benevolent dude.

Superman v Batman: Come At Me Bro

face looks like Ted Cruz

The capitalised 'Of' is enough to ensure I will never willingly watch this.

You misunderstand. 'Dawn Of' is the name of

ONE MORE TRAILER

As Oliver Wang put it, "Some trailer editor got really coked up before sitting down to make this."

The Lego sets are out:

They are...Enh. The forklift & kryptonite assembly looks neat, and here's your Jesse Eisenberg rendered into Minifig form:

legos are so angry now

Possibly, but minifigs had blank smiles for their first 20+ years of existence, so any chance from that would be considered as dramatic.

Plus he's a bad guy, cmon, in a grunt Zac Snyder movie. The odds of him showing those pearlies are not high. Lex Luthor is a character not given to beautific demonstrations, even when successfully stealing 40 cakes.

Well, Snyder-related Legos, anyway.

It just occurred to me that pre-propecia Lex is kind of a perfect Lego figure.

How so? I kinda dig that they were able to communicate his rumbled suit coat & shirt, and the wrinkle lines of his body piece match those in his face.

yeah it's not out of place for him but it just reminded me of how the majority of lego faces now are angry (or come with two versions - angry AND smirky!)

xpost Pop off his hair and you instantly have the next movie's iteration of LL (presumably).

He smiles in the previous trailer! A really creepy high-energy one, but Lex has always struck me as pretty cheery when not focussing on Superman (which admittedly is 99% of the time). He's basically Trump's self-image.

lol, otm

Yeah, the post-Crisis Lex has generally been depicted as someone who enjoys the life, not a frowner.

purple & green power suit Lex also loved flying around and fucking shit up when Superman wasn't around to bring out his baldness resentment

The best thing about this film so far is that I still want to see it even after three trailers. I can't remember the last movie where I felt like that.

OTOH, these trailers seem to indicate that Snyder is doubling down on his refusal to acknowledge the way these characters (or Superman, at least) have been historically represented and the reasons why those depictions have appeal, so he can take another long walk off a short pier AFAIC. Sorry for the harsh invective, but that's just how I feel.

I hope this bombs so hard

but it probably won't

It's an fx-heavy action movie with "Batman" in the title. It'll more than make back its budget and advert campaign no matter how terrible it is.
