Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 25, 2016)

Great. Superman is awesome when he doesn't talk.

[Cichy]

not like he had many lines in MoS

[Tyrath]

Still would be a great director choice though compared to Snyder.

[Fhloston]

Kinda saw this coming.

“Somebody was asking me about this in New York and I made up some ridiculous bulls**t answer about how my character Zod has flippers, and this went viral on the Internet or something and people have been asking me about that. That is so obviously a complete bulls**t story, right? But people took it seriously.”

Secrecy is a big tool for studios and filmmakers on these gigantic tent-pole movies. We’ve seen it in action with Marvel Studios and all of their films, WB’s Man of Steel, and most notably with J.J. Abrams and the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness; half-truths and misleading quotes are simply a part of the promotional game now. This raises a question, however. Which time was it that Michael Shannon “made up some ridiculous bullsh**?” Is he in fact trying to preserve a secret from the upcoming film by saying he made up the initial quote or did he really make up a story about being trapped in a porta potty, and if so, why?

Shannon did go on to talk about his time on the set of “Dawn of Justice,” saying he didn’t put on a costume but simply provided voice over work.

“The thing about the whole Krypton universe, apparently, is that even when you destroy them, there are ghosts. The first [film], Jor-El is there even though he’s been dead for lord knows how long…I went over and did some voice-over stuff because it’s like that ghost thing. But I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that. I get very nervous.”

The fact that people actually believed the flipper story has me just shaking my head.

Some of that interview dialogue is just fucking terrible.

[DrClout]

I wonder how much they paid for that. Such a waste

[tyven]

[DrClout]

I'm okay with that.

[Hirronimus]

I hope there's some Red Kryptonite in the mix to explain Supes' attitude.

[Odesseiron]

I bet it's a dream sequence.

[AidenCarby]

I bet it's a dream sequence.

I just posted this same exact sentiment in fb a while ago

[Salodin]

Who the beck were the people kneeling to supes?

[TummieGaruda]

There are two factions in the movie: Pro Superman and Anti-Superman. There are soldiers who are loyal to Supes and have his family crest as insignia patches on their uniform. This is most likely set up by Lex for plot reasons.

[Hirronimus]

More than likely, Lex found a way to control Superman, bending world governments to his will, creating police state. Seeing this, Batman comes out of retirement to put things right. Hence why he's probably hunted down as a vigilante. Wonder Woman in the mean time comes to "Men's" world cause Lex somehow fucked up ecological balance of Themyscira and she must put it right.

[Salodin]

That sounds kind of stupid actually. I was hoping it's just the world wanting to reign in superman in the aftermath of metropolis being destroyed, supes going lolno, and batman going "I was renting a condo there asshole" and comes out of retirement for revenge and order.

[Hirronimus]

I was going off the typical comic book tropes. Snyder might twist those as he has done in the MoS to reimagine the typical "we fight each other only to realize we are not the enemies and focus on the proper villain" plotline.

[Cichy]

I dont think Lex controls Supes. If anything judging from the main trailer the US government assigns a force to monitor Superman after the events of Metropolis. From the convo between Clark and Perry it looks like Supes has issues with Batmans methods. This is Batman that's darker than Nolans, breaks bones, burns his symbol into ppl, etc. I imagine if anything Lex will give kryptonite to Batman since we see him looking at it in the trailer.

[Akiyama]

Trailer was okay.
