Venneh Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I would pay good cash money to see Bruce Wayne sue Superman for wrecking a bunch of Wayne Enterprises buildings in Metropolis. Can I option a movie by liking a post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Judge: Your closing remarks, Mr. Superman? Superman: I'm bringing hope to this world! It's what the symbol on my costume stands for! Batman: "HOPE" STARTS WITH AN "H", STUPID. Judge: Mr. Batman, sit down or I'll find you in contempt! Batman: Contempt is reserved for this kind of scum, who destroys buildings without even-- Judge: Bailiff, remove the plaintiff from the courtroom!

Dan Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Maybe it's his name. Mr. Batman V. Superman. The V stands for Veronica. Long story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 So, jokes aside, there could actually be a "trial of Superman" story in the movie. Which would naturally lead into the idea of paranoia over super-powered individuals, which could lead into other super-powered characters suddenly showing up.

Missy Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'd like to believe that the filmmakers will take the ending of Man of Steel and viewer feedback to heart, and make the next movie about Batman (and Luthor) holding Superman responsible for his actions.

Dan Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Also, this is apparently something that happened at Warner Brothers at some point: "Why don't we call it... Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice"? "I LOVE IT! Get that up on a marquee right away!" "Be careful, sir, you almost walked out the window again."

Molly Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Honestly, with an older Batman, there's a good story in him taking the rookie Superman to task for how he handled Zod. Including the whole killing him thing. "I've been fighting psychopaths for a decade, men who make your Kryptonian general look like a pacifist. And I have never sunk to their level. We do not, can not kill. It's what separates us from them. We believe enough in our ideals not to take a life." -drops mic and also a smokebomb- Y'know since Jonathan Kent was such fucking moron in this continuity, someone has to teach Superman values.

Stavros Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 So Jor'El abandons Supes to a backwater planet to be raised by a farmer, Pa Kent abandons his son to save a dog. Maybe the Dog is supposed to be his mentor? That is until it commits seppuku and lets an especially intelligent earthworm take over the role.

Missy Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 This is not directed at any one person, but rather the Internet as a whole:Yes, this movie might be a trainwreck of the highest order, but can we all pause for one moment to reflect upon the fact that we are finally getting to see Superman and Batman in the same big-budget, live action movie. I'm filled with childlike glee at that very idea. Add Wonder Woman and the others to the mix, and this could be the biggest clusterfuck of all time but I'll still love it because HOLY SHIT THE JUSTICE LEAGUE~!

KnightWing Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I largely agree with that sentiment, and I spent a good several months after the announcement last year saying the same thing. The only thing that gives me pause is the fact that over the year since Man of Steel's release, every time I've looked back at it, I've recognized it less and less as a Superman story. I mean, when it's grimmer than every Batman movie short of The Dark Knight itself, is it really Superman anymore? So now I wonder if the new movie Justice League is going to actually feel like the Justice League, or if it'll be shoved through the desaturated dark/gritty filter so much that the end product is joyless. A joyless Justice League isn't just missing the point; it's pretty much not even the Justice League at all anymore. So I'm still looking forward to seeing more, I'm just a little worried is all.

JackFetch Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I like the look of Batman, but why is all the focus on him? Isn't this a sequel to Man of Steel? Putting all the focus on everyone except the main character makes it seem like he's just a supporting character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 It's like when they marketed The Dark Knight using the Joker. He's the new character coming in, so he gets the spotlight in the marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Except he had a recent billion dollar franchise, so he's not really new. Batman is Batman. Everyone knows the story. It's Ben Afflec that is making all the attention go away from Superman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Because Batman has the better box office record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Then why say this is a Superman sequel? Just say it's a Batman/Superman movie, or a Justice League prequel. That's like saying Avengers was a sequel to Captain America. They follow the same timeline but are separate movies. Don't call it one thing and market it as something else.
