All I see is a dude whose family once owned slaves.


Sorry. Facts are facts.

Hollywood celebrates darkness. Always. The point is to seduce the impressionable young with the allure of darkness, subversion, tearing down whatever stands for decency -- the Titus/Schmendrick ethos. In this case Superman undermined by Batman. And of course it's Batman who brings the sexy. The biggest joke of all is that it's the three headed Hollywood/Academe/MSM Left, yodeling utopia, that brings dystopia -- always.

The Batman movies have attracted better directors, but none of the various actors who have worked the Batman shift were as magical as Christopher Reeves in the role of Superman.

Never let an opportunity go to waste April.

I agree 110% with ricpic. It's all darkness and power - power and darkness.

It's also all very tired, stale and boring.

@ Lem - Nevah!

ricpic, I'll bet otherwise.

The teaser says, "this is how it starts" I take that as misdirection.

Batman starts out trying to trap Superman and in so doing discovers he is not the enemy rather a force for good and the ally against evil. That is, Batman has a change of heart throughout the movie, probably against Lex Luthor. Why do I think that? They gave us too much too clearly too one direction.

Like the little boy depicted as the perfect little angel right off the bat. Character development so thorough so early. After all that sweetness and tender innocence, "See ya. He's going to die."

*smack* "Why do you talk like that?"

"Mum, because the writers were so saccharine right off. They had to make the boy one dimensionally beautiful so we're all completely wrought when the writers kill him. That's why. Quit hitting me, please."

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Even the trailers are formulaic and cliche'. saccharine - that's a good word to describe it all.

It's like the same movie over and over again.

This is very very loosely based and inspired on the Frank Miller graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns back in 1986. It was a four part graphic novel, which I still have in my collections. The story in the graphic novel is that Batman (Bruce Wayne) is much older than he is now, if i remember right, around his late 50's and Superman is too. Batman is more disgruntled than usual following the death of the second Robin, so he basically retires for about 10 years and crime goes sky high while he's gone. He comes back goes on a tear and meets out justice in a more brutal fashion.

After some Superman basically drives a russian nuclear missile into the american desert, an ensuing EMP creates chaos nationwide. Batman enlists the help of the sons of batman (you have to read the comic) to help him ensure that Gotham city isn't plunged into total chaos so they help bring in supplies and stop looting which embarrases the American government because Gotham is basically the safest city in the country post-emp. Anyway, they basically tell superman to take out batman and that's how the story goes. Batman basically calls out superman as the governments bitch and is soft and Superman has finally had enough of Batmans uber vigilantism once and for all.

In the movie however, this will be the first meeting between batman and superman, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

I'm holding out for Superman v. Batman v. Spiderman v. Wonder Woman v. The Ambiguously Gay Duo.

Methadras -- I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall some Batman v Superman comics from when I was a kid in the 70s. I never really got that sort of thing, where everything gets twisted around. As you can imagine, I didn't get along well in my college lit classes.

Synova said...

Doesn't this have Wonder Woman in it somehow?

Chip... I feel your pain. When we watched movies my brother would always be like... how did you KNOW that? And I'm all like... because REASONS.

Father Martin, I think there was some batman vs. superman storylines back in the 70's. I was a wee-lad back then, but I was still into it. I'll go back into my collection and see if I have those. I might.

Unfortunately the SJW and the politically correct douche nozzles have co-opted superhero movies. They through away the history and the origin stories to make political statements. In the new reboot of the Fantastic Four the Human Torch is a black guy instead of being the brother of the Invisible Girl. Unless he is her brother which is even more politically correct bullshit.

Now if both the Human Torch and the Invisible Girl were black that would be fine. There is no reason why they can't be. Reed Richards could like his poon very tangy.

Well except for the fact that Dr Doom and Namor the Submariner would not be in love with her. Those guys are big time racists. Just sayn'

This is an abomination no one will see. It's not controlled by the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). I don't even want to know that some dickhead even pitched this cockamamie idea. It's basically LALALALALALALALALA!!! Doesn't exist.
