Such a long time away, 2 years!  This thing better be epic with such a long wait.

Sure is a good while out before it releases I figured on a next year release not two years.

 

So now I'm not a big comic book buff here, but I assume both superman and batman won't really be fighting each other but will be fighting against Lex Luthor.

It depends how close to the source comic they want to take it.  There could be a little scuffle but not to the extent in the comic IMO.  The comic didn't have Lex or WW in it, so it's clear they're only going to be used parts from it.

off to a bad start: Corniest title ever

From what point of view? What would you have named it?

 

IMO it conveys what they are planning to do, granted in a very corny way, but isn't that "comercialism"?

Apparently it's a statue they are erecting, so I would imagine its to celebrate or remember the day Superman saved/destroyed the city lol

HitFix has it on good authority that Momoa will "totally" play the King of Atlantis in the 2016 film. In addition to Snyder already "finalizing his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon," the usually credible Drew McWeeny further reveals just how Aquaman will come into the picture. As many expected, it seems the mass destruction in the final act of Man of Steel will have an impact on Dawn of Justice, with Lex Luther using it to make Superman "look like a monster" and it also upsetting Aquaman. "What we're hearing is that he is not pleased about the World Engine and what it did to the Indian Ocean,"

For a movie that's coming out in 2016 to start filming now, it's either going to be a good chunk long or they're going to have so much CGI work to do that they need more time.  I mean by comparison look at SW7 which also starts now but is coming out next year.

Great casting! And that reason for him to come out of the waters seems perfect as well. I'm actually really excited about Aquaman in these films. The New 52 books by Geoff Johns have changed Aquaman a lot and I hope they'll look for inspiration in that. Also, it's neat how they'll use the destruction as a way to make Superman look like a monster to the public.

So, the MoS Act III destruction wasn't "gratuitous" or "over the top" at all but major plot point for all that follows.

So much for the Monday morning quarterbacks.
