Superman was unchanged, recycling the same dozen stories from 1939 until 1980 or later. If you want a comp

for DC think Dick Tracy with superpowers. Batman for most of that time the same thing. A half dozen or so villans over and over. Luthor. Joker. Penguin. Riddler. Bizzaro stories.  The Fantastic four probably introduced more bad guys in their first 50 issues than the 2 flagship DC titles did in 40 years. I still buy comics and i just turned 62 so i have a clue. It took DC an awully long ttime to try and even the playing field. I think Hollywood went the same route in a shorter time.

Batman v Superman, Latest Comic Con trailer.... This is damn exciting ... b4bad Jul 11, 13:37

insane, just insane. bravo {nm} lobogotti Jul 11, 13:48

This catches them up to Marvel. Way better than i anticipated. {nm} tradermark Jul 11, 14:17

Three minutes of footage and it "catches them up to Marvel," despite merely releasing "Man of Steel" & 2 trailers for BvS? That's hyperbole. chosenone2oo5 Jul 11, 14:19

Well outside of Bales Batman movies i thought the rest of their stuff sucked. This is on a level with Avengers. tradermark Jul 11, 14:26

I really agree with this. they have a long, long way to go to even register next to Marvel. Willroast Jul 11, 14:34

I think tm is talking about his anticipation for the movie, compared with his anticipation for the next Marvel movie (or the Marvel movie RogerMore Jul 11, 15:34

Id love to see a new Howard the DUck movie {nm} Dorfman Jul 11, 18:35

Lea Thompson's daughter is the right age now.... :D {nm} DTravel Jul 12, 09:30

damn me too. {nm} tradermark Jul 11, 14:15

Not sure if this is allowed or not but here's Suicide Squad, cam/bootleg/phone/whatever it's called now MattW Jul 11, 14:24

It's allowed. If the studio gets pissy, they'll pull it down from the source. And hope Leto resists just doing a Ledger-Joker impression. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 11, 14:27

See, now THIS (Suicide Squad) is more up my alley! I think it would be great if DC really embraced the dark stuff... Willroast Jul 11, 14:43

Loved the new BvS trailer, but agree with you 100% on Suicide Squad looking far better... raven headed guy with a shotgun Jul 11, 23:19

The red cape circling ... ( 2x ) .... Plus wonder woman... Looks promising ! {nm} JMT-NL Jul 11, 14:50

superman is suppose to be a symbol of hope not doom and gloom. f'n awful {nm} islander Jul 11, 15:22

He is a symbol of hope for some and a dangerous alien for others. ~JPV~ Jul 11, 15:38

i really didnt care for much of anything in the trailer: the outfit: lame, afflecks serious look: lame, luthor: lame islander Jul 11, 15:49

Well, as I've said before I liked MOS but for those who didn't, I doubt BVS is going to do it for them. ~JPV~ Jul 11, 16:02

serious look referred to Affleck inability to pull off a convincing "serious face", he looks constipated not deep and brooding. {nm} islander Jul 11, 19:29

JPV is right in that we have been spoon fed boyscout superman in all the movies. THis isn't a new direction for superman it's more like Dorfman Jul 11, 18:38

Superman was unchanged, recycling the same dozen stories from 1939 until 1980 or later. If you want a comp tradermark Jul 11, 18:47

I have to agree with Islander completely on this. MOS was so bad, this isn't doing anything to make me think this will be any batter {nm} JDolphin Jul 11, 23:04

The only thing I don't care for too much is JEISE... Still not too convinced he'll do a good Luthor. {nm} Dorfman Jul 11, 18:39

what a stupid premise. who's excited about this? {nm} masonacj Jul 11, 19:15

I'll be the lone wolf. *raises hand* {nm} ~JPV~ Jul 11, 23:13

Rock solid, people, Loving the numerous references to Frank Miller's Dark Night Returns... {nm} wkelc Jul 12, 06:35

much more encouraging. WW looks great, and I find myself warning to Batfleck somehow. {nm} CG63 Jul 12, 09:20

warming! Not a Freudian slip, I swear. {nm} CG63 Jul 12, 09:20
