Off topic, but aw hells yeah

[The Twilight Mexican]

Um, yes, please.

 

[Danseru-kun]

If you guys are interested, here's a SDCC footage of boy scout and the dark knight.

watch it while it's still there

 

[Carlie]

It's probably gonna be taken down soon so watch it quickly.

"Soon" apparently means "within two minutes"

I like Wonder Woman's outfit, very reminiscent of Xena.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Gah, Gal Gadot would have to ruin my anticipation for a Wonder Woman movie with stupid comments about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:

[Ⓐaron]

Of fucking course she would. :/ Scarlett Johansson has been unspeakably stupid about the conflict as well, to the point where it's largely ruined my appreciation for any character she's played.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Johansson's comments are less bothersome if only because she's being terribly naïve in thinking that the enterprise she chose to endorse has the potential to do more good than the ill it already represents -- ill, which, to her credit, she doesn't deny has taken place.

But I think we're probably derailing this thread now, so I'll leave the matter there. If someone wants to pick it up further, we should probably do so in the Israel thread.

 

[Cthulhu]

See no evil. Heh.

 

[Super Mario]

Well, not so wonderful now.

Apparently, the touch of gray in Ben Affleck's temples in the first photos of him from the set is fairly subtle, given how old some anonymous sources indicate this Bruce Wayne is supposed to be. From Badass Digest:

My sources indicate that when BvS opens Batman has existed for close to thirty years, which would place Wayne in his 50s (which is why I expected more grey in Affleck's hair). In this version Batman is still an urban legend, a creature of the night, and no one has ever taken his picture. But he's had plenty of adventures, and the Batcave includes a memorial centered around a tattered Robin costume.
Apparently, Superman's appearance in Man of Steel makes him one of the last, not the first, superheroes on the scene. Because Wonder Woman's also been around for a while when Batman v. Superman starts:

By the way, my sources tell me that Wonder Woman has also been in operation for some time before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice begins, and her activities have been just as secretive as Batman's. Her activities were badass as well... but in a very different, and unexpected, way.
As always with unsourced rumors, keep the salt handy. [Badass Digest]

Here's a set video showing the set up of a stunt involving Bruce Wayne and the rescue of a small girl from the collapsing of a large piece of the Wayne Financial building in what looks like Metropolis rather than Gotham. [ Movieweb via Comic Book Resources]

 

[Abortedj]

Just as I assumed. They didn't find a woman that looked better than Linda Carter in the role.

 

[Danseru-kun]

Happy to see this:

I think Linda Carter is lovely but there's too much bias for her when her body frame isn't far off from Gadot's. IMHO both look equally wonderful in a a WW costume. But like the comparison to Reeves and Bale, people will always compare newer versions and we can't do anything about that.

Also news: Gal and Jason Momoa are spotted training in the same rock climbing center (apparently.) Of course fans speculate it's WW and Aquaman training.

Batmobile revealed

Edit:

 

[Danseru-kun]

It opens up like this:

AND I HOPE WE GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS

(that's from Arkham Knight)

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Looks like we might see bits of the trailer and other things starting on the 20th: http://www.slashfilm.com/batman-v-superman-trailer-news/

Either way, the trailer's confirmed for release with Mad Max Fury Road

Trailer leaked online: http://www.cosmicbooknews.com/content/full-batman-vs-superman-trailer-leaks-online

I'd expect them to make an official release of it, since it's not going away now.

This video is being taken down left and right but I managed to download it before it went down on one of the sites i saw it on if anyone wants me to upload it somewhere.

Looks good. Love the imagery (the False God graffitti was to good) and the Armored Bat suit looks so spot on to the one in Dark Knight Returns. If anything Snyder can always deliver on the visuals. Lets just hope he and Affleck were able to salvage the shit show Goyer most likely wrote initially.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I'm excited because it is following the Man of Steel "you get one chance to prove yourself to these people" and showing how that plays out, and how he can recover from that not going as well as he'd hoped.

Also, my go-to location for leaked trailers and video is tumblr. You can search a tag and find it in seconds and they never manage to get them all taken down, so hunt there if nothing else pans out.

[Geostigma]

Yeah. I knew it was coming but it's exciting to see it coming to fruition, in the first movie Clark had to deal with being torn between the visions of both his fathers ideals.

"You can save them all"
"You shouldn't save them"

And even though he chose Jor-El's ideals to stop Zod he now has to live in a world Jonathan Kent feared for him.

Also interested to see if we may see more "Superman-esque" traits out of Kal-El in this film. Man of Steel consistently went out of its way to say "This is NOT Superman" and even though it was lost on most Superman fans Man of Steel was very much a movie of a conflicted man coming to terms with ideals pushed on him by two father figures and learning to become more than just a man with powers. Lots of people shat on MoS since he wasn't the boy scout completely ignoring the fact that that was the point. He wasn't there yet until literally the last few shots of the film.

I wonder how they will approach Boy Scout Superman in this one.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I think that this is gonna represent the way that he manages to definitively prove how he's closer to the "boyscout" Superman, since he'll have had a little time to establish himself, and I think that he'll be able to serve as a juxtaposition against Batman until they can act like two sides of the same coin.
