WHERE ARE THE NIPPLES!?

 

[Geostigma]

I have seen Man of Steel a couple of times now. It isn't entirely bad. Took a lot of liberties, and that fine. I do however have one question. Why did they feel the need to make it an origin story? I understand the need for an origin story for most characters, but it seems rather pointless for Superman. Is there anyone that doesn't know the broad strokes of the Superman story? Alien, raised in middle America, reporter.

After Green Lantern tanked (Which IMO Ryan Reynolds did well in the script was just trash) they chose Man of Steel would be the Cinematic Universe starting point. An Origin story fits the end game goal best here.
It also helps them establish a baseline for what Superman can and cant do. DC has had to scale back the powers of many of its heroes because back in the day writers would seriously create new powers on the fly to just finish up an issue conveniently. The majority of the Superman films are from an era where this was perfectly fine so an origin story is also perfect for establishing a modern Superman that parallels todays DC universe better.

If GL didnt absolutely bomb Man of Steel could have been significantly different, possibly similar to Incredible Hulk where Iron Mans success helped them move a long with a characters story where half of the story is out of the MCU.

Not liking the new batsuit.

 

[Super Mario]

Thay suit makes him look old! Its not as cool as Nolanverse bats! Gods

I'm fine with the suit, though I prefer Nolanverse. It looks like its based from the Frank Miller design.

I read rumors that Nightwing might be included in the future but as a estranged son who haven't talked to Batman for years. If that's the case, it makes sense to present Batman way older than Nolan's version.

While I liked Nolan's version I not a big fan of it because personally I'm not really a fan of the "dark Batman full of manpain" dimension of Bruce. I like the aspect of him as an awkward father figure which movies never tried to explore.

Double post, found this in tumblr

Spoiler: Fat Bat

 

[Ghost X]

I prefer a functional batsuit, because Batman is supposed to be a normal (yet highly-skilled) human. Superman doesn't need a functional suit, because he's OP.

Press Release

There's no hope.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Does anyone else find it odd that it's abbreviated like a legal conflict, "Batman V. Superman" rather than a battle royale, "Batman Vs. Superman" or is that just me?

Batman suing Superman's ass confirmed.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

The Crazy Prepared Guy vs. The Indestructible Guy... who will win...

It is a bad thing that my first thought was "Where is all the Kryptonite on Earth located and can Batman get some?"

 

[Telcontar]

It's gonna be a two hour long courtroom drama.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

It's gonna be a two hour long courtroom drama.

Lex Luthor is the corrupt Judge.
Wonder Woman is the Bailiff.

Yeah, ok.

I could be into this.

[Obsidian Fire]

^^Well... at least the Joker isn't the Judge...

 

[Ghost X]

Not sure if serious .

 

[Danseru-kun]

Batman suing Superman's ass confirmed.

Spoiler: Well Clark did wreck Wayne property...

 

[Drax]

So what you guys are saying....is that all this time we thought they were going to adapt the Frank Miller stuff, but they're actually going to give these stories a chance:

[Gym Leader Devil]

First thing I thought when this lawsuit joke started going around was the Wayne Interprises satellite that got broken when Clark fought Zod Clark'll totally replace it... it just might take a while. Reporter's salary, ya know?

 

[Danseru-kun]

I expect these kind of stuff, nothing less:

Spoiler: gaaaaaaaaay

The some alien phallic worms arrived from space meteors and Batman talked with them telepathically

And this is their reaction

It also helps them establish a baseline for what Superman can and cant do.

Sorry to bring this up so much later, but I do need to call bullshit on this statement. We don't really have a baseline, or any frame of reference for Superman's power level. The only time he seems to have any trouble is when he is dealing with other Kryptonians, whos powers are also never seen to have an upper limit. If you aren't referring to his powers, but rather how is limiting himself in their use, we don't learn that either, as we see he is willing to kill a dude to save a small family.
