Zack Snyder:

"The director confirmed that Superman will be in Gotham during the movie, and that his interactions with the various heroes in the film will serve to change the way he looks at the world, just as he's accepting his own destiny after Man of Steel."

I thought Batman and Superman were both "good guys" back in the day. So why are they now being pitted against one another as one being "good" and one being "bad"?

Neither Superman nor Batman are the bad guys. But their motives as heroes remain unclear right now since the events in MoS changed everything, even the lives of others in hiding. Batman will be the early antagonist in all of this and will question alien lifeforms on Earth but it's all leading towards partnership and a respected alliance. Even when Superman and Batman are on the same page, they still have different theories and ways of agreeing on how to go about things. They really have a dynamic relationship. It's going to be fucking wild to see it on the bigscreen.

LOL. Ok.

Sounds like you're in the dark, JB!

Looks like Gotham City in the background.

Yeah, I guess I must be. Who knows, maybe I'll see this in theaters. Is it going to be shown in 3D?

[verslibre]

Affirmative.

Is it going to be shown in 3D?

Fer sure.

[Rip Rokken]

Crap... I looked at the thread before I posted the pic and must have been looking at the end of Page 8, as the last post I saw was from the end of June. My apologizes to Trav who posted first.

Please accept this as a token of my humble respect.

If you have to take this much effort to explain it, it's not going to go over well with the average person.

[Monker]

You should be ashamed of yourself for mentioning that movie in the same sentence as the Avengers.

Puhleez. The FX in Avengers weren't entirely perfect, especially where/when the Hulk (who is all-CGI) was in shots with human actors.

No "sense of gravity or weight"? That's funny.

Uh, "puny god." That scene ruled and is heads above anything in MoS...the entire theater I was in loved it, both times I saw it.

It doesn't need to take that much explaining. Not everyone reads comics so I always go into more depth in my posts because I've read some stories and backstory about Superman and Batman when it comes to the books.

All I really had to say was Superman and Batman basically have conflicting personalities and see things differently but they respect each other enough in fighting for the same cause (and that's even when they are very familiar with each other and work together. In BvS that's not the case. They never met.)

But of course, this is a completely different story so I can't wait to see what story they have and what direction they take. As long as the Superman/Batman dynamic is there, it's going to be fun as hell onscreen to see.

[YoungJRNY]

Zack Snyder on the title:

The director can't say exactly how the relationship between the two superheroes evolves, "but suffice it to say there is a 'v' in between their names" in the movie title, Snyder says. He explains that having the "v" instead of "vs." is a way "to keep it from being a straight 'versus' movie, even in the most subtle way.It wasn't just too go in a different direction because everyone was already calling the movie "Batman Vs. Superman," but the "v" has more meaning."

Not ripped. HC is a damn TANK.

A source of Movieweb's claims that WB commissioned Kevin Smith to write a fake script based on the first treatment of BvS, and that every scoop we'vs gotten in the last 6 months have been from that script, which is filled with inaccuracies and huge red herrings.

So, in other words, we know **** all about this movie, and its all Kevin Smith's fault

LOL, awesome. We don't know SHIT.

They've been shooting since May and barely NOTHING has been spotted but a humongous Superman statue. Other than that, Snyder got this entire set on lockdown. WB is really going to great lengths to keep this thing sacred. I follow other inside sites like SHH where everybody is on the ball with what the production is really doing and we got nothing but a few things. This going to be pretty huge judging by how people can't even get through security to even walk anywhere near the sets.

LAWLS!

Seems you can't enjoy MOS on it's own terms w/out putting Singer's fine film down. Makes me question just how much you actually enjoy MOS. The SR outfit was retro. A questionable and cheesy stylistic choice? Maybe. But everything about the very idea of Superman is retro and boyscoutish. He predated the antiheroism of Wolverine, Punisher, and Batman. Captain America suffers from the same thing. Is this truly any worse?

Fine film? The film that regurgitated the plot of '78 wholesale, wanted to introduce a Superkid, and had James Marsden ("Cyclops" of the X-movies) nearly upstage Routh?

Yet again, I refer to Peter David's opinion of the film's premise. Superman would never bail on the Earth to go get sentimental about a relatively newly formed asteroid belt.

The SR outfit was retro.

It was retro because Singer wanted Routh to emulate Reeve. Meanwhile, Superman's duds have been revised a few times in the comics. The thing about Singer is that he doesn't like to bother with comics for source material as much as he possibly can. He's been criticized for ignoring the X-costumes by and large. What he does use, he tweaks till it looks like nearly something you can buy off a rack.

But everything about the very idea of Superman is retro and boyscoutish.

Batman carried a gun in the earliest issues, but they changed that. That's what MoS represents. A change. An update of an old concept.

He predated the antiheroism of Wolverine, Punisher, and Batman.

Huh? I thought they invented Superman in 1999.

Captain America suffers from the same thing. Is this truly any worse?

I didn't like Cap's Avengers suit. The TWS suits (one of which is right out of the first film) are much better.

There's no more joy I get out of it than seeing that picture above in comparison. I take great pleasure in it. I'll never forget how fucking pathetic that first pic of Routh in the suit was and how disappointing it was from the beginning to the end for SR. From 2006 to the time MoS was released, I couldn't stand the fact Superman Returns was the latest incarnation of Superman. Fucking embarrassing. It's good to get the Superman I've always wanted with MoS.

The SR outfit was retro.

Retro? I've seen better cosplayers put on a Superman Halloween costume better than what Routh looked like in SR. Singer really screwed the pooch in embarrassing every Superman fan known to man with that trash.

[YoungJRNY]

I agree with v, btw. With Cyclops Returns, I was rooting for Richard White more than I was Supes and in a SUPERMAN film, that's a huge no-no. Richard White was more heroic than Supes ever was in CR and it made Superman look nothing more than a deadbeat, home-wrecking snatch. SR truly was an awful representation of an already established world of Superman from 1978. Singer turned a classic into a cheap mockery.

To reiterate what a friend told me after he came back from watching Supey Sales Returns...

"We've seen this movie already."

Yeah, I think YoungJRNY was right about them 'not talking about it'. When Jason was on Jimmy Kimmel last night he did everything but deny it when Kimmel asked him. http://youtu.be/AODLJasKWGc
