DC Studios THREAD - GunnVerse Begins - Chapter ONE: Gods & Monsters

[shogun]

Seeing Zod in the trailer reminds me of how goofy he looks. Dude has to be one of the all time wierd looking villains. I think it was the cut he had or something

Well the actor was ugly to begin with

The bowl haircut and goatee with no mustache was a weird combo.

 

[evolution fight]

The idiots complaining about WW and Lex

do elaborate on why you feel the need to refer to us as idiots

I read that Metropolis and Gotham are right next to each in other the movie.

I read that Metropolis and Gotham are right next to each in other the movie.

They're occasionally described as within driving distance in the comics. Gotham is always in New Jersey but Metropolis' location is fluid

Pretty impressed with the trailer, but that's not the hard part. I'm not being overly critical because I thought MOS had a lot of good things in the movie, but they might not have all come together like they should have and how they could have. So that'll be my initial concern with this movie as well. We see the great action set pieces, the iconic images and callbacks to the comics, the important and interesting themes it could address... so now we just have to bring it all together.

The trailer looked great, did it's job and got my excited for the movie, so now I'm just ready for it to deliver.

This.

Snyder always makes great "looking" films, but he's not exactly a great storyteller. Hate to beat a dead horse, but MoS could have easily been a great film. I'm not sure if Goyer or Nolan are to blame, but ultimately Snyder is the director and he needed to pull the reins on that third act (among other things). Hopefully he has learned and BvS rights the wrongs of MoS.

And as far as Lex goes, I'm not worried because I didn't even see "this" Lex:

And if you don't like the "red capes are coming" line, don't put that on Eisenberg, direct your vitriol to Terrio and Goyer, then ultimately Snyder.

Ok cool, I'll blame Goyer. I don't like him.

 

[...So]

[slighted]

I'm most interested in how Jesse is gonna play Lex.

Will he basically be channeling his Social Network performance? CEO young gawd, no dambs given, always one step ahead, etc.?

 

[KingParappa]

Shouldn't it have been cape instead of capes? Unless there are more people around rocking red capes.

Think it was a "the red coats are coming" reference

Thought that was the name of the guards with the superman logos

 

[tay1]

I do have to say that all the people worshiping Superman or whatever it is they were doing, is a bit weird.

 

[celticspride34]

Is this Batman a continuation of any other previous Batman's?... or is this an all new story for him?...

Not really...

 

[blastercombo]

Kinda makes sense though. Bunch of poor or religious people looking for their "God" and then superman shows up? Actually kind of fitting they'd do that

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Dude really got butthurt enough to call other members idiots. Cmon, B.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Agreed with Blaster. You see this dude come out of nowhere with God like powers. Who wouldn't build a cult around him.

 

[...So]

Exactly where I stand too.

MOS had a great teaser trailer and its subsequent trailers were good too. It just didn't deliver.

Hopefully BvS don't let me down lol

 

[xbiker47]

Trailer got me hyped

 

[nomnom]

Make Cranston commisioner Gordon?

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

One of the things which I'm interested in seeing is the actual divide between human beings regarding Superman. IMO, it should really be 50/50, yet in the trailer it really makes it seem that the world is anti-Superman.

And in terms of Superman being portrayed as a god-like figure, as absurd as it may sound, it's really one of the easiest ways to ground the character. One of my favorite scenes in all the Superman films is actually in Singer's Superman Returns. There's a quick sequence where Supes' is flying between buildings during rush hour, and everyone stops in their tracks and looks up to the sky.

Truth

I don't know, I just can't see it going down like that. I'd like to think that we'd react to him in the same way Batman & Lex look at him. Along with people supporting the fact that he used his powers for good.

People do it for normal humans like celebrities lol of course they'll be a massive cult for Superman

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Make Cranston commisioner Gordon?

I believe he's already dead/retired in this timeline? If anything, they should have Barbara Gordon as commissioner and 2-3 films down the Bats' solo line have The Killing Joke arc and then have her become Oracle.

 

[Based Jesus]

Handsome white man with inexplicable powers descending from the heavens and you think people won't worship him? Cmon son.

 

[rfx45]

I think those Superman followers is just like in TDKR but they reversed. IN TDKR, those guys were the Sons of Batman which follow ans tries to enforce his will without Bats approval, those guys could just like be those guys.

Speaking of Sons of Batman, some are speculating that the Red Son inspired costume might be part of that group since one it is Bats in daylight and two, he seems to have snapped someone neck a la Superman?
