The Official Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Movie Thread

[Jello Biafra]

why plug a dream scene like that. because they want people asking, "hey why is superman doing that to batman"?

this is probably not even close to the tone of the movie.

i feel like they are misrepresenting the movie and are just trying to stir s*** up and raise questions. again we know this is a dream sequence.

it is definitely ONE way you can sell a movie.

One of the things I have loved about the build for this movie is that they are purposely trying to keep the meat and bones of the movie's storyline as confidential as possible. Making potential ticket buyers curious about what they are seeing in clips is a major change from the way most movies tend to give away damn near everything about a movie nowadays.

Comment from CBM.com, page 5:

Now, I know this is reaching, but it's interesting how Bruce looks almost scared with the cowl on, and angry, extremely angry, with the cowl off. It's like, with the cowl on, it's his true self, afraid of Superman and his potential for evil, and with the cowl off, his persona, putting on an angry front. I know he's supposed to have this pent-up rage, but it's like here, face to face with Superman, he's kinda scared. I like that. Gives some humanity to him.

It's advertising...by its nature its underhanded lol. You aren't new to this planet breh. And you've seen mad men

i just don't think it has to be that way.

and when someone does that, i get paranoid and think perhaps it's because the marketing team isn't all that confident in what they have. i.e. godzilla.

....but it's a part of the story breh. If it's a legitimate part of your story, the conflict between two of your main characters, and they just so happen to be two of the biggest characters in pop culture, you'd be an idiot not to sell it that way. If I worked for the studio and didn't suggest we sell the movie that way, that should be my last day on the fukkin job because it's a layup

I know @Kill Dat Noize is a Marvel stan but he makes the most retarded arguments when it comes to DC.

You're asking for real or being hypothetical?

He's being hypothetical he's too smart for it be otherwise

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I guess I gotta be the one

shyt was meh at best

Batman popping up with the surprised look like Finn in the Star Wars trailer (but looking silly).

Superman jumping down looking like a cartoon.

Cavill's "serious/scary" face looking a bit silly.

Then ripping off Batman's mask.....clear sign that its

Spoiler

A vision or dream

ETA: I'm probably judging it harshly because the Comic Con trailer was so top notch.
