Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)


Recommended Posts

You really pulling the last strings of an olden sweater....

You cannot complain about trailer, because it is pretty decent.

You cannot complain about affleck. Since, it looks like he is doing an ok job...

So.... you got nothing.

Ohhh. Wait. you can call him fat. Score!

Good job not impressing anyone ;)

 

good-job for writing a complete lecture, concluding nothing.

The difference between this and Nolan's batman is that his batman was more the "real life" batman. Example his suit was pretty much retrofitted from something else, and no real over the top comic book moments. 

 

Do you think Superman would fit in Nolan's films? No.. 

 

Anyways, Superman > Batman.

 

 

I believe the first major difference between this and Nolans batman suits are the armor.  If you go back and look at the suit Affleck is using, it's got nowhere near the "armor plating" look to it that the above Nolan suit does.  Guys, that's 90% Ben, he's buffed up, look at the comic con panel when he's standing next to Harvy, he's f'ing huge man.   The new suit has very little "padding" and "armor"  It's more like the traditional comic/animated version where it's really just a thin suit and it's shape is mostly just how batman is physically as appose to any rubber or Kevlar armor/padding making him look built/buff.

hey, If I were to get paid millions to bulk up, i'd drink anything

true story bro!   if i can spend, even $10000 on fitness, i will have blood work done daily, and controlled hormone injections.

 

i will certainly look amazing. like i am naturally gifted.  

 

but, it  costs TOO MUCH.

Some of the crew over at Cinefix are doing a "Superheros in training" thing where they are using this guy who basically gets all these actors into screen shape to play whatever superhero it is by doing this massively hard workout regime etc. In about 8 weeks some of these guys doing it look RIPPED and some just look like they lost weight and look way better. So I don't doubt Affleck did somehing to bulk up - whether it was this or not. Because he looks HUGE compared to Cavill.

what?   they mentioned batman :shifty:   just mine thoughs.... on what would really happen.... ;)

 

 

hello?  batman?  this is superman! i am invulnerable. i can fly. i have super speed and super strength. you are dead!

Mad Max: Fury Road proved that you can have an all action film with limited dialogue and still make it compelling, whereas films like Man Of Steel and Age Of Ultron fell flat. To me Superman seemed like an extra in his own film - Zod was the more compelling character.

I don't get that at all.  While I also enjoyed its visual spectacle, I cared for its characters far less than in MOS.  Zod is supposed to be more compelling.

Mad Max: Fury Road demonstrated that you don't need length dialogue to make characters compelling - it's how they're portrayed and their body language. Sometimes having a character say nothing is more interesting. Superman in MoS simply wasn't very compelling or relatable and I'm concerned, based on the trailer, that Lex Luthor won't be either. Certainly he bore little relation to the character I've seen in so many other forms (previous films, comics, TV series, animated films, etc). The action scenes in MoS were terribleand excessive and BvS looks to be going in the same direction.

 

A lot of people are really excited about the trailer but to me it looks to make a lot of the same mistakes of MoS. That said, it's just a trailer and they can be misleading. The only thing that's clear is that the CGI is terrible.

The effects look amazing to me.

Just some scenes, hit something like the same bad point on uncanny valley as scenes in Blade 2/3 (forget which one had the ninja style vampires) and a bunch of other bad CGI in cinema.

Not quite sure what it is, it can't just be the lack of access to the virtual muscle tech used by ILM as plenty of animators have made scenes without such tech that looked more realistic to me.

I don't know, maybe I'm even wrong and it's just that they've overworked the postproduction and actually made the actors and their movement LOOK like it's CGI at those points, heh.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Forget the iPhone. What about Android? Most Samsung Galaxy phones sold in the USA are manufactured in Vietnam. Asian countries have the infrastructure that the USA doesn't have. This is why most electronics are not made in the USA
    • The RAM would still probably be more expensive than what they were paying last year.
