Batman is pissed at Superman for all the mega destruction that happened during the end of Man of Steel so he tries to stop him. Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor join the party. |

This film looks awful to me. I don't know what it is, but something tells me this movie is going to be hot garbage. Ben Affleck as Batman? Really? I know people had a similar reaction when Heath Ledger was cast as Joker, but this is Ben Affleck we're talking about here. |

I can handle Affleck as Batman. He isn't going to be as good as Bale was, but I doubt anyone will better Bale's turn anytime soon. This will be different enough I think.
I've see the occasional trainer and it appears okay to me. There was too much fighting in the last one. I suspect this one may have the same problem. But it had a few good moments. I'll watch it.
There was a brief appearance of Wonder Woman in one trailer. It didn't help.
I think the plot is summed up quite well by CameronD. Sounds about right from what I've heard so far.
Not so sure I'll drag myself to a cinema to see it yet. Maybe a wait for the the dvd. Unless I hear it's great enough times to persuade me.
And Max, that gif thing in your sig is somewhat disturbing. Does it have to stay there?

i held out hope for it.... but the more previews i see the more hokey it gets.... plus with all the characters jammed in there it looks like way too much for a 2 hour movie. plus as everyone is noting....it's a miscasted extravaganza. |

I rate Ben Affleck now... after seeing Gone Girl. Used to think he was a weak actor, but as in all things, experience and hard work eventually pays off. Same can be said for Affleck. Plus age helps too. He's actually got real experiences to draw from now.
In regard to Batman, I think he could do a great job. However, the screenwriters and filmmakers themselves will obviously fuck it up. Batman v Superman is a mistake, IMO... but my kids all love the idea. |

I think Affleck has got better as an actor, The Town, Argo and Gone Girl... but I don't think he is going to me the issue, or Cavill who I think makes a decent Superman... from the trailers it looks like the issue is gonna be that it's an effects heavy, bangy, smashy superhero film... a re-boot of one of the best superheros... by a director known for style over substance...
I'm worried! |

Haha, you guys overthink it too much.
Have faith in Affleck!
P.S. they do need Wonder Woman in there. Every movie needs a Wonder Woman |

Female opinion: Thumbs up for Ben Affleck! He looks the part imh. I should add so as it's not just about beefcake - I'm in agreement with Dustin, I think he's really evolved as an actor, and he's a pretty darned good director. |

IMO the more characters you add, the more you take away from the concept. This movie is called Batman vs Superman. When you add Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman etc, you take away from the selling point of the movie and it gets more convoluted. At least for me. I already know they pulled a bait and switch. They made it out as this movie is going to be a battle between Batman and Superman, and from the trailer it's obvious that they're teaming up. I have no interest in watching this now. When the teaser came out with those "false god" graffiti, I thought they might be on to something. But when the longer trailers started coming out, and especially since the one with Wonder Woman hit the internet, I lost all interest. |

They need Wonder Woman and the others (Aquaman, etc) to set up the Justice League franchise and properly compete with Marvel, whom DC is already way behind. I think it's as simple as that. |

I won't be seeing it. These types of films are my Kryptonite.
Hmmm - just thought of a title for a horror film: "Crypt Tonight" I terms of Ben Affleck - I concur that he has come along way and my wife never minds the eye candy.

I don't think there will be much of Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Just enough to get the ball rolling with their own franchise |

I agree with you about the trailer. They showed way too much. We sll know doomsday is the villian and they team up. They could have just had Batman and superman fighting and left the rest as a suprise. |
