Exodus Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It would be interesting because a lot of people pointed out how Supes destroyed Metropolis while fighting Zod and company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I rewatched the film recently with my kids and I noticed: Clark made several attempts to get the fight out of Smallville, but admittedly that was after losing his cool while yelling about his mom and taking the fight into Smallville in the first place. Then later by the time Clark got to Metropolis after dealing with the Matrix Robot the city was already in utter disarray. Zod and Clark still obviously trade glares and punches willy nilly within city limits, but the vast majority of their fight takes place within the already destroyed area of Metropolis. With those observations I'm perfectly able to conceive a way that Superman is accepted by the city & world as long as one, at least, but preferred two of these things happen; 1.) Snyder does another flashback, maybe Rocky-style by starting the next film literally at the end of the previous film, this then becomes a retcon that shows Superman helping to rescue survivors, clean-up and rebuild Metropolis. This 40 second or so montage can happen pre-credits and has a logical place to be within the first film's timeline, after the Zod fight and before the glare-down with the General Not-Nick Fury. 2.) Superman is shown helping people just to help people, no villain attacking, in the next film's time/story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 ...and just like that, there will no longer be a delay. http://m.ign.com/articles/2014/01/24/batman-vs-superman-production-not-delayed-as-rumored One less reason to dislike this before anyone even has a reason to.

Exodus Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I mean...if they're working on it like right now, that has to be a good thing...can you blast a movie for having the release date pushed back if they are working on it right now?

Driver Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 HAha-- man. EVERY DAY there is movie news that is refuted the following day. Have studios finally figured out how to beat spoilers? They just let as much BS leak as possible until we don't know what's true!? My stance on this remains the same-- I'm a mixed bag that will have to wait and see. I like Affleck as Batman. Man of Steel blows. I worry about the amount of heroes being added to the film getting Justice (SEE WHAT I DID THERE). I remain optimistic, but I refuse to get my hopes up, and I also don't auto-hate the film on reflex... but I do find WB's approach bothersome, and I dislike Goyer as a writer. My problems have nothing to do with a timeline of when the movie is made, but it usually tells a tale. In the case of scheduling issues, it gets a pass. But if it gets pushed back during scripting, like with Star Wars, that's not a good sign. Neither is getting pushed in post-production cause it usually means heavy reshoots are needed. But coordinating A-list actor schedules? That's always a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I didn't think the talk ever was about PRODUCTION being delayed, just the release date. But I'm not following this very closely so maybe I just missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitster aka Boba Fett Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My guess is they're filming back to back with Justice League, and they pushed the date back so they could release them closer together, possibly a year apart a la the Matrix or Back to the Future sequels.

The Human Torch Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I would have begged Gary Sinise to be Lex. My dream Lex is Ed Harris, but I think Gary would be just as good. A smile that looks natural, like the perfect baby kissing politician, but eyes that look like they're plotting schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think that Eisenberg is a fine pick. And I think a younger Lex isn't a bad thing. Especially if we are going to potentially have a Lex who will last for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I don't really care it is Facebook-Guy. It is just a surprise, pretty certain he was in no one's but the production team's radar as even a remote possibility. It's like casting Cumberbatch as Khan. The visual does not at all match.

Driver Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 He's a good actor, and can shave his head. Luthor as a young genius type? Fine by me. No one thought Heath Ledger was right either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I feel like it's how Bryan Singer populated the x-films. Every mutant ever is cast, and most are on screen as extras in a fight sequence. They are also reporting Geoff Johns is aboard as a producer on the movie. Johns is a really nice guy, and it's great to see a true fan get to run with franchises he grew up on... But he's partially responsible for everything wrong with DC comics theses days. That said, good news, Ben Affleck has strong armed them into a rewrite with his writer from Argo to redraft Goyer's script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Batsuit and Batmobile mostly revealed! My THT thoughts... Batmobile:- looks like it's in the same design sense as the Burton/Schumacher era with Tumbler styling- I'm over the dragster and or tank look, I was hoping for a leaner high performance vibe Batsuit-like the short ears-like the logo on the chest, both clearly inspired by Miller's Dark Knight Returns-like the departure from the Nolan patchwork armor look-still get the 'ol black rubber suit vibe that has been prevalent since Burton/Keaton-there's a level of bulk that seems cool-- but could also come off as dumpy in action-still hoping the cape and cowl are dark blue and that we'll get lens eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
