| I agree with Andy, DC could be a little iffy and on DC there's been clips of Wonder Woman. |

| Another trailer for Civil War, anyone? It's got some exciting folk in it... In addition, hoping to hear Henry Cavill speak as Superman again in a trailer... |

| Ridiculously excited for Civil War after that trailer. Film of the year? Film of the year! |

| They're going to have to be careful with the tone. If that is balanced correctly, you will be right. |

| I've got a feeling 10 Cloverfield Lane might sneak in as the surprise best film. |

| I was thinking more on the lines of The Girl on the Train, it's hard to tell what's going to be a great film but last year we had things like The Danish Girl come out. |

| Yeah but Star Wars and Mad Max were loads better than any of the guff that wins awards. |

| Far different films though, Star Wars may have been the best blockbuster but I still want more than just that each year. |

| OK. Let's talk Batman Vs. Superman. - Huge spoilers for the film Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice:
OK, so, reviews lowered my expectations. Still, I went in with some hopes. One, Ben Affleck to do a good job. Two, the mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent to be right in my eyes. Three, Wonder Woman to be treated with a bit of respect. For my money, all three were pretty much hits.
Of the big three characters, the bulk of the time was given to Ben Affleck to establish his Batman. Think the Batman in Dark Knight Rises, but he continued instead of retiring, and that's about spot on. He's jaded, tired, but the desire to end Superman gives him purpose. He's not the finest Batman ever committed to celluloid but he's in the top three.
Clark Kent as Daily Planet reporter was underused as a consequence and that's about all I have to say about that.
Wonder Woman is something of a bit-part, to be honest, though Gal Gadot gives it all she has, and that's about all you can ask in a film like this.
Overall, then? Well, remember Spider-Man 3? It had too many elements to be coherent, to hang together like a superhero film should. BvS is pretty much that. DC Comics must have felt that they didn't have the luxury of building up the characters in the way that Marvel have, so they've put their collective foot on the accelerator and, well, it's a bit messy. Events are thinly told early on and things don't really come together coherently until about forty minutes before the end. That's also when the four, five points of humour kick in, a bit too late.
Finally, it seems that Bruce Wayne does have powers after all... prophetic dreams! Who knew?

| I also saw it last night and I kept laughing at how shoehorned in bits were. There were scenes that just didn't seem to make any sense just chucked in there to make something explode, or to cause an extra bit of half arsed drama. I did mostly enjoy it, it's certainly better than MoS, but I don't think it's a film I'll return to. |

| Man of Steel was not good, I agree, although I might be returning to BvS myself, if only to sit through the promised Director's Cut on Blu-Ray that's an extra half hour longer. Hopefully it'll make the narrative a bit more coherent... |

| I just got back from BvS. What an awful film, cooked up from such excellent ingredients. Visually, it was incredible in places. Affleck's Bruce Wayne and Batman could have stepped straight from a comicbook page if they weren't so trigger-happy and bloodthirsty. Cavill looked great, though that hairline isn't very super. Gadot was perfection. - Spoiler:
The film was somehow too long and too short at the same time. The ludicrous runtime was stuffed with cameos and nods and pointless scenes, while the central premise of Batman fighting Superman was badly undercooked. They barely share any screen time. Instead, we get the vague notion of Bats thinking Superman is a threat and a generic "villain forces hero to fight other hero" thing leading to a brief clash. Giving more of the plot to the two heroes learning about eachother, and Batman cleverly planning a way to beat Supes, would have been a better, more interesting film. We get a tiny bit of that, then some generic kryptonite + punching stuff followed by a big, overly fake, rushed fight between Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and a cave troll from Fellowship of the Ring.
Oh, and doing a fake Superman death twice in the last ten minutes of the film was ridiculous.
Overall: A missed opportunity. EDIT: I actually liked Man of Steel. It was at least much better than this! |

| See your a fan of DC aren't you Drunka as we've talked about Superman before where I'm like DC is okay and BvS is that for me.
I don't know if the directors cut will make the film better for you, I know it make it longer but knowing how Watchmen directors cut turned out I've got high hopes for it.
What does look good from the new trailer is Suicide Squad, now I'm not a big DC guy but Batman is my boy that characters from his world are great.
They have said why Batfleck is so trigger happy in interviews etc. |

What specifically did they say? As I can imagine it doesn't explain it one bit as even the average Joe knows Batman doesn't kill. |

| I googled to see if Batman has killed and he did originally also has used a gun. He has killed since then including the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman. - BvS:
Well there reasoning wasn't inspiration from something but the death of his Robin which has made to reflect on what he does , as if had killed the Joker then Robin would still be here.

| He killed a couple of times in the 30s before his character was particularly established, and in the Tim Burton films which I really dislike. I saw a good comment online: if Batman is going to kill, there's no need for everything that makes the character interesting. Why be stealthy and kung fu and use theatrics and all that if you're just going to essentially be the Punisher? It just misses the point entirely -- like the whole film. |

| What Tim Burtons Batman films especially Returns are excellent but they were sort of my introduction to Batman though part from the animated series.
From googling, he has killed in the comics since the 30's but not often it seems. |

Zack Snyder has got to start making his films the length of films. If he can't get his vision into a film of about two and a half hours, then the theatrical cut of his director's cut is never going to be as good. First thing: no slow motion. At all. |

| Zack Snyder is a much better cinematographer than he is director. I love his visuals and raw emotion but he can't do characters, stories and coherency.
I'm too close to Batman to like Burton's films. They were just Burton films; skinny weirdo in gothic dreamworld proves he's not so bad. Rinse and repeat. |
