He's always changed with the times, anyone remember original 60s TV joker?

[DocM]

Or the 1940's issues where he wore a clown suit, complete with neck frill.

Yessssss

[Innervisions33]

Can't wait to see the 2nd trailer.

[Lamp0]

Looks great!

 

...but... you know what instantly annoys me? There is no face paint around Bruce's eyes when the mask comes off!

HOLY ######!!! AWESOME TRAILER!! JUST WATCHED IT!! FINALLY SHOWS WONDER WOMAN!!!

[+virtorio MVC]

I must have watched a different trailer, because the trailer I just watched looks like a typical Zack Snyder mess of a film.

So is that supposed to be Doomsday or something else? I didn't know Doomsday could shoot lasers from his eyes.

 

I was hyped for this movie, but honestly after watching that trailer the hype kind of died a little and I'm not sure why.

 

Maybe it showed too much?

Doomsday is a genetic engineering experiment gone wrong from Krypton, soooo....

I know the basics of Doomsday. The reason I ask is because I think he looks more like Darkseid would than Doomsday. And Darkseid has that fancy omega beam thing.. 

 

I don't know if they've ever said who the main baddy is supposed to be as well.

[DocM]

The villains are Luthor and Doomsday

[Syanide]

Looks awful. Seriously. Godawful. The entire movie seems spoiled, right down to Wonder Woman's entry. There's basically no suspense left.

 

And what's even worse than that is that they took the interesting premise and everything they talked about this movie being different, and turned it into another generic 'superheroes fight a monster' movie. Really disappointed.

Ugh, so in this universe Lex makes Doomsday from Zod I assume. Well, at least they keep it that Doomsday is a genetic disaster etc.

I was definitely looking forward to this movie until Lex did something to Zod.  Then all I saw was a Zack Synder meets Michael Bay movie.  What a POS this is going to be. 

[Syanide]

I have to be a hypocrite a bit right now, but one thing I didn't mind, which people seem to take apart is that it seems too cheesy. Might be a bit too much, especially with Luthor looking like he's about to share a joint with Jonah Hill or something, but I'd take that instead of ridiculous realism/forced darkness in a movie where these characters are running around in capes. It's just that it seems too generic and lazy. Seriously, a big monster? Urgh.

[Razorwing]

I agree.. should've pulled a Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker for Wonder Woman.  It'd would have been a nice surprise in the movie. 

[Som]

I thought trailers where supposed to get you excited about a movie, not show you the entire movie.. what's the point now

Clearly derived from....

 

"Superman (vol. 2) #175 commemorated the 100th issue since the death of Superman in battle with Doomsday, by staging a rematch. Doomsday's skeleton was retrieved and his flesh regrown by Lex Luthor (using Superman's Kryptonian DNA),"

Yeah, it was in the comics, I get it. Doesn't make it less lame. It appears as if the entire third act (if not even earlier, going by Man of Steel) will probably once again be mindless destruction, this time with a gigantic monster. And let me take an early guess, that in Justice League, you'll have an army of gigantic monsters. That's one thing I thought they would get right, because both this and Suicide Squad appeared to have been more about the character conflict, instead of fighting a generic villain, like every Marvel movie. Now I wouldn't put past them to include some monster fight in Suicide Squad as well.

Watch "Batman Returns", same thing when Bruce takes the cowl off, there is no face paint.

Yeah, a big monster which in the comics killed* Superman.

 

* Until, of course, Superman was resurrected in part by the Eradicator.

But in the comics, Doomsday was essential to the story. He set off that entire plotline. I can't see him serving any other purpose in this one, other than being an excuse for seeing 30 minutes of dumb action.
