I dunno. The trailer has a much more believable premise than other plots I've read, kind of a Steelheart/alpha-Reckoners plot. I loved Miller's '86 Dark Knight Returns too, but that wouldn't play on the big screen without a few more Batman and Superman movies which DC doesn't have time to get done if they ever want their TV shows to ever converge into big screen offerings. And even that didn't get too deep into the fascist stuff (comics). Thought Ben Affleck being Wayne in that one scene had the right look. But I don't get the paper mache Batman suit in the one that follows. I'm not the first to wonder whether they know how to market this though. I also think the timing is off. Wait until Jan/Feb at least. They don't benefit from trailers this early. I mean heck, what are they, a Presidential candidate? |

I think DC is really just trying to hard with the gritty/dark feel to their movies. On the other hand we have Feige saying the next Spider-Man movie will be the total wise-cracking teenage Peter Parker that we haven't really seen yet on the screen.

Now that I've seen the not grainy pirated version - still too goddamn grimdark. The Batman voice doesn't bother me at all. It actually sounds better than the Bale voice because it sounds computer modulated, which makes more sense than gargling gravel.

I'm more excited about this than I am about Star Wars. Maybe because I have some clue what the movie is going to be about.  I'd be just as happy seeing a movie about a feared god-being if it wasn't called Superman, since obviously Superman isn't actually supposed to be all grimdark with Superman as a morally ambiguous character, but I'm not enough of a Superman fan to give any shits about them being stupid with the brand, so whatever. |

Weirdly, the most positive feeling I got out of that trailer was: "Oh yay, Holly Hunter!"

So, they released the Comic-con trailer. It looks much better than the previous trailer they released, though I'm still not sold on Eisenberg as Luther, especially with the hair. https://youtu.be/0WWzgGyAH6Y |

That... was... Luthor...? Yeah... nah. That was the only downside to the clip for me. Not a Superman fan but I'm starting to get interested in the film. |

The nerd in me just can't ever get past guy with lots of money vs guy who, well, is Superman.
But then again I guess we already had Iron Man, Thor and Captain throwing punches at each other like they were on equal levels, so meh.

I'm sure the epic team-up at the end will be what causes Luthor to lose his hair and thus turns him irredeemably evil.

Yeah, this. "The red capes are coming?" ... the fuck? When did Luthor become the goddamn Joker? It's a sad indictment of this when Affleck's Batman looks like the best thing in it. Still fucking hate that Wonder Woman costume. Not that I won't go see this because I'm a geek, but still. |

I'll just remind those that are hopefull. It's still being directed by Snyder.
There is some REAL DUMB SHIT in this trailer. And the MechaBat suit still looks fucking dumb. Just dumb.
Superman has a police force now. And Batman decided a disguise was throwing an overcoat over his batsuit.
What the christ is going on in this movie.
The best batman news out of SDCC was the animated Killing Joke film.

Batman pretty much beats Superman every time they go against each other in what ever random comic. Because everybody hates superman. |

Yeah, Affleck's Batman didn't look bad. It looked to me like Affleck also really bulked up for the role. That said, I groaned when I saw the alleyway shooting and funeral for the Wayne parents. Guess what DC/WB? Every person on the planet knows how Batman became Batman. Every. Single. One. We don't need to see it again, especially not in a "Superman" movie. |

Affleck as Bruce Wayne... yes. He looked the part.
Affleck as Batman... no. George Clooney no.

Only new thing I disliked in the trailer was seeing the Batsuit.
Wonder woman and Luthor looked fine to me. And if they are using what Superman did in MoS as Batman's motivation, that actually feels like a good idea.
Core problems remain :
Zac Snyder and David S Goyer are making this/any film.
Ben Affleck is in it but not cast as an angry young man.
Film has Superman in it and it is inexplicably not "Lois and Clark the Movie".

I'm guessing that we'll just see the shooting really quickly in passing (I hope).
I was prepared to accept Lex Luthor as Mark Zuckerberg but the koo-koo vibe in the trailer is not at all right for any version of the character.
Still lots of 15-year old boyish DESTROY! BOOM! LASER EYES! FUCK! stuff here, enough to remind me who is making the film.

The trailer gives me the impression that there will be like 3 or 4 main plotlines going on in this movie; Superman/Batman conflict, Superman and the government conflict (which may or may not be related to Lex Luthor/Superman conflict) and it seems like there's some other Superman action that will cause the Superman/Batman conflict and somehow Wonder Woman is involved. It really looks like it's going to be a confused mess plot wise and I'm still not excited about the Luthor character. I will say that I really like the Batman costume for this though, it does a really good job of giving him a strong physical presence. Superman also looks beefier and more 'Superman'. Although that leaves Wonder Woman looking a bit more out of place. I'm expecting this to be visually great and everything else to range from  to  |

I re-watched the trailer and finally realized that it doesn't look like a Superman movie, it looks like Injustice: Gods Among Us - The Movie.

So I thought to myself - you haven't seen a Superman movie since Christopher Reeve donned the cape - go have a look at Man of Steel as a weather vane for this movie. OMFG whit a steaming pile of dogshit. The only thing I would have loved to see more of was ... oh I don't know... A whole film dedicated to Jor El because fuck me the rest of it was insipid boring shit. Superpowers are boring if you are indestructible. I was seriously praying for kryptonite to rain from the heavens and kill the hell out of everyone. Acctually, I would have been more interested in Jor El vs Zod the movie than the rest of this film. Batman is interesting - Superman not. I actually like the Injustice comics until it got all "lol magic". But that's because it really addresses the issue of abuse of power. (And I really want to see Superman get trashed) |

No, don't go and look at Man of Steel, it's a trap and you will never recover those 2 hours of your life.
You can just trust us, it was bad and superman looked like this trailer.
Before watching any superman movie ask yourself "Is Terence Stamp in this?" if not, do not waste your time.
