Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)


Recommended Posts

There's quite a few easter eggs in the trailer. Red Son Batman for starters, a Robin costume covered by Joker graffiti for another. At least I think it was a Red Son reference and pretty sure it was a Robin costume I saw :D

 

Either way, that was a really good trailer. Gal Gadot (I think that's how you spell her name) looked great as WW and I thought Jessie Eisenberg was fine as Lex, especially with how they are portraying him in the movie. As usual since I'm old and stuff, I don't have any problem with Affleck as Batman. Hell I remember when Keaton was cast as Batman and everyone went ape ###### and that was before the internet. Now everyone loves Keaton as Batman.

 

Also, that last scene they show with Batman rising out of the Batmobile and standing toe to toe with Superman - epicness.

He'll probably be bald by the end of the movie...hopefully.

 

I've been working on my own version of Superman in comic form and that's how I went about making him bald and hating Supes. He's basically infected with kryptonite in my version and requires round the clock medical care, mostly blood transfusions. He's actively trying to get Superman's blood to cure himself. I really should finish it one day. Drawing it was half the fun :)

Not impressed with the new trailer. I don't understand why Batman is old and yet Lex Luthor is young - it would have made more sense to cast Bryan Cranston, as Jesse Eisenberg looks out of his depth. The CGI is really poor

For a second I thought that was Nicolas Cage

Actually I am pretty sure that is Jeffrey Dean Morgan

 

Who was also in Watchman which was also directed by Zack Snyder.

 

I could very well be wrong but I am thinking he is playing Bruce Wayne father in a flash back when he and his wife were murdered.

So, I'm excited, I don't think Batman's age is an issue, I wouldn't put him in his 50s, I think he's a bit younger, while this does play homage to dark knight returns it's not that story, and I doubt it borrows anything from it other than the main fight, so batman shouldn't be as old as he is in that comic.  I think he's in his 40s, otherwise how do they keep doing batman movies after this?  He can't be too old, but can't be too young either, so 40s sounds good to me. 

 

As for the story and WWs part in is and all that stuff, all I can do is guess at this time, but I'm thinking the government gets in bed with lex, some plan goes sideways, bigger threat comes up, after or in the middle of the batman v superman fight, which will have them team up and also brings in WW, so they should all be fighting the same enemy by the end.

I hate Zack Snyder's visual style. The shot with the rocket from this trailer looks like the one from the oil rig from Man of Steel. Incredibly fake. I don't get his need to add godawful CGI shots in movies that otherwise strive to have a gritty, realistic visual style. Either make a 300 or a Bourne, but for crying out loud, don't mix it up.

this... its just over stylized 

I think the film will look great, it doesn't come out for another year, they're going to keep working on the CGI and other post-production work.   I think it looks great, then again I don't have a problem with Snyders style, it's his own, I can respect that.

That was indeed Jason Todd's Robin costume. And he looked like Red Son Batman, but even more like the Batman from Gotham by Gaslight. I like the fact that Ben Affleck is Batman a lot. It means that Batman is experienced so we'll be seeing him in much more dire situations than in previous movies.

And yeah, I had goosebumps throughout the whole trailer! :D

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
