I really hope they don't go that route.

Spoiler:
Feels like Luthor using one or the either would be good enough of a threat in addition to the existing Batman/Superman + Wonder Woman dynamic they need to build.


I'm sure it will result in some great Snyder visuals, but sounds like it's heading towards another weak plot/story/character development.

The way I feel is that there's enough going on in this film as is with it being the first time Batman and Superman encounter each other. That alone should be enough to sell this film. Adding all this additional shit in just feels unnecessary.

That could be interesting. If it even loosely follows the comic version...
Spoiler:
then Luthor's Bizarro could backfire on him, and the character could help defeat Zod/Doomsday, perhaps even sacrificing his own life.

That's what happens when you get a director whose priority is "What looks awesome?" instead of a good story. It's Batman and Superman. In the same movie. Seriously, silver platter and he's piling shit upon shit on it.

That would be an interesting wrinkle.

Spoiler:
BTW, makes sense given the shot in the trailers where Superman is bowing to Luthor and looking up at him.

I will say if this isn't very good I'll likely pass on Suicide Squad and will be more skeptical than I already am on DC films going forward.

Hopefully we get a good Batman movie out of this. 1992 is a long time to have to wait.

Hold on, is 1992 waiting? Or is the wait a year? This doesn't make sense.

Put more clarity into your Nolan bashing at least!

Yep. I've seen him hit a button on his costume collar.

And I'm sure you've seen him use a phone version when Det. Lance used to call before he knew Ollie was GA.

Why wouldn't they cram all sorts of stuff into the film? Isn't the running time like 144 minutes? Maybe longer? It's fine.

Not much of a clip, which is fine for a movie that's still more than a couple of months away from release.

You don't cram everything into this film for the same reason you don't pile everything on your plate at the buffet. Sure, it sounds promising, but mixing too many components just ruins the end product and makes everything in there suffer.

But hey, WB/DC is pretty well known for this shit. Green Lantern said "fuck it, let's cram in four films worth of GL content into one film" and look at how that shit ended up.

It's like WB just doesn't have faith that they'll be given another film to make on said character so they just shove everything into it for no real good reason. Even if they are playing catch up to Marvel. Better to crank out something of quality.

I think it's entirely too much. At the least it's sounding like three heroes and three villains and that's not counting all the cameos. Only one of these characters has been established in this film universe prior to this film. That's a lot of ground to cover and the word that comes to mind for me is clusterfuck. I think it'll be like most of Snyder's other films, cool visually with a shit story.

Spoiler:
I'm wondering if the clip from Conan is actually Bizarro and not Superman. It doesn't really sound like Cavill's voice

Ya know what, everytime they introduce a new character in the flick, take a shot.
