BATMAN V SUPERMAN v.10 (First Twitter Reactions)

[MikeMcMann]

The more times I hear this stupid fucking line, the more I hate it,

"You know the greatest lie in American history, Senator? That power can be innocent."

Lex, no one in American history, or any other nations history for that matter, said anything of the sort. Quite the opposite, in fact. Do you even Power corrupts, bro? You're the smartest man on the planet, and you come off sounding like a total retard.

A far superior line would have been,

"You know the greatest lie in American history, senator? In God we trust."

Boom! This perfectly encapsulates what Lex is trying to sell: that one cannot trust beings with God-like power. It's also a perfect tie-in with,

"Mankind won't kill God. The Devil will do it!"

Which illustrates Lex's motivations and world view: he is Lucifer, the ultimate rebel. He will challenge God himself, just to prove that he's better.

I don't like Eisenburg in this role. I think he will suck as Lex. But for God's sake give the guy a fighting chance with a decent script. The person who thought up that line should be fired. Then rehired just so they can be fired again.:icon_evil

Pretty sure he says "Power can be incentive" not "innocent", FYI.

Nope, he definitely says, "innocent".

And to be frank, "incentive" would make even less sense.

I wish i could be excited as this all seems pretty cool, it's just that I hated everything about the last Superman movie. Snyder just isn't good imo. I hated Superman. Everything from the direction, the look of the movie, the music. Everything. So I don't think i'll like this one.

 

[highkicknomore]

Yeah, the whining is pretty ridiculous, but MMA fans whine about literally everything, so it's to be expected.

I thought the trailer was fucking awesome. Affleck's voice as the end is way better than I expected it to be and I thought Doomsday looked cool. People are whining about it being CGI, but if it wasn't CGI, then it wouldn't look that good at all. They're whining about CGI here, but I bet they loved that stupid Avatar movie.

If people preferred to see somebody in a suit to play Doomsday, then they should go watch that Smallville episode. Some characters are better in CGI than they are in a suit. Doomsday looked and sounded sick as fuck to me.

I have high hopes for this movie and so far all the teasers and trailers have looked quite promising to me.

I can't wait for this movie. I have faith in the cast, especially Affleck and also Zack Snyder as the director. I'm confident this movie will be a good one - better than Civil War.

I've watched the trailer like 20 times already. It didn't really spoil anything for me, I expected there to be a big villain in it. If people actually expected it to literally just be Batman and Superman fighting each other, then they're retarded. If it was just that, the movie would be a complete failure.

I love Batman and I want to see him and Superman have a lengthy battle or a few battles here and there, but for it to be based just around the two of them for like 2 1/2 hours wouldn't be that great. There's no substance, there needs to be more than that in it.

I'm very excited and have high hopes for this. These fools can whine all they want, I have faith in the cast and Zack Snyder as the director.







Did you expect the movie would really only be about Batman and Superman fighting each other or something?

Literally, almost every single hardcore fan of Batman and Superman knew that they were going to have to work together at some point to take on a villain. Why else would Wonder Woman and Aquaman be in it?

If the entire movie was literally based around Batman and Superman fighting, it would be a major flop. There's no substance in that at all - I want to see them fight a few times, but if it was just them for 2 hours and 30 minutes, it'd be stupid.

Most people (myself included) guessed that Doomsday was going to be the villain because they showed General Zod's body in a previous trailer and most believed that Luthor was doing some sort of experiment with his body, making a weapon and such.

It was damn near common sense that Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman (and I guess Aquaman?) were going to work together to take on some major villain at some point in the film. Especially when you see General Zod's body.

If anybody here has actually followed and kept up on the movie as much as possible like the nerds (guilty as charged) have, they would see that this trailer actually isn't that much of a spoiler for us. We actually expected a lot of these things. Almost everybody thought Doomsday was going to be the villain in it for fuck's sake, myself included.

I'm more excited for this movie than ever after watching that trailer like 20 times. I guess it's because I've always been a big comic book/superhero fan, and like most, Batman is my favourite superhero and I've always just thought Doomsday was so f'n bad ass. So, y'all can whine your asses off, I'm fucking excited for this shit and I'm going to love this movie, I know I will.


Now, go to bed before Batman shows up to your house and puts you to sleep, young man.

Nah', he's a better pure action director than Bay or Emmerich.

Problem with Snyder is that he's billed as some sort of brilliant "visionary" of a director, when he's merely just a schlocky action guy.

gtfoutta here. Bay and Emmerich wipe their ass with Snyder, Snyder wouldn't even qualify to be Bay's fluffer or allowed to cradle Emmerich's sack. All 3 make mind numbing movies only for basic white trash American movie tastes, but that's where the comparison stops. Emmerich and Bay have pretty impressive resumes of films.

Emmerich: Wrote/directed: Stargate, Independence Day, Ferris Bueller's Godzilla, The day after tomorrow, 2012, and soon Independence Day II..... Majority of his films are original ideas as well, in which he writes/directs, with no source material.

Bay: Directed: Bad Boys I/II, The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor The Island, & Transformers I/II/III/IV, Pain and Gain (highly underrated)

Snyder: Dawn of the dead (remake), 300 (had source material), Watchman (source material/comic), Superman (obvious), Suckerpunch, worst original movie in the history of movies. The dude has no originality and no talent on actually creating a movie without tons of source material. I'm doubtful he'd be able to direct/write an original commercial for Viagra.

If DC was serious, they should have hired one guy to reboot Superman/Batman, Kevin Smith. Nick Cage as Superman, Jersey Girl Affleck as Batman. Hell, MF'er named his kid after Harley Quinn.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

And Batman chooses to let the Joker live, knowing full well he is condemning innocent people to death by doing so.

Batman is a murderer by proxy.

Agree.

Batman is a moron because these villains of his keep escaping and killing children.

If he had a spine he would've thrown the joker off a building many years ago.


Bbbuuttt it'll make me just like them. No it fucking won't. Laughable

 

[Lovestorm]

Snyder is literally one of the worst film makers out. The dude doesn't have an original idea in his head, and when he attempts, he makes a film like Sucker Punch. I wouldn't give one of America's biggest comic franchises to the dude who made Sucker Punch, let alone TWO of the biggest. Only thing I can think of how Snyder got to this point in making movies is having Sasha Gray like BJ skills.

That being said, This movie will be a huge let down. Much like his Superman remake.

They also let the can David Goyer work on their movies.

Perhaps these lame ass screenwriters just have friends in high places.

Joker actually wants Batman to kill him, or to kill anybody. That's why Joker puts Batman in situations where it's almost as if he has no choice but to let somebody die, so he can feel as if he failed. One of the things is that when Joker kills somebody, he makes Batman feel as if it's his own fault it happened, because he won't kill Joker himself to save many innocent people.

Joker is constantly trying to corrupt Batman, he wants to make him break his rule of not killing people. Joker is always trying to get in his head and make him crack and make him kill, but he hasn't been able to do it.

You and the other guy are right that Batman is causing more people to die by leaving Joker alive. But Bats doesn't want to give Joker what he wants, and that's for him to kill him or anybody in general. Truly, he should kill Joker, it's for a good purpose and it's not like the innocent people are going to be mad at him, they'll probably be really glad he did it. Everybody knows Joker deserves to die.

There is an alternative to killing; sedate the Joker and surgically remove his eyes, ears, tongue and limbs. You leave him alive but utterly incapable of harming anyone else. Or manipulating someone into killing for him.

Oh, c'mon, you yourself know that Batman ain't no butcher, lol.

 

[Horse Style]

Batman is a stupid character to be fair. He has this no-kill rule but has no problem beating criminals to within an inch of their life. Also, has he ever asked himself what the point of putting the Joker in Arkham?

You usually lock people up to "rehabilitate them" or at the very least keep them off the streets so they aren't a danger to the public. With all the times Joker has escaped, it's clear Arkham is equipped to do neither and Batman knows this. Essentially he puts Joker in like a 10-minute timeout each time he captures him.

Also, you would think Joker would be sentenced to death by now or there would be at least one cop/civilian pissed off enough to shoot Joker in the face by now.

Bruce Wayne is a billionaire. I'm sure he can afford the top surgeons in the world to complete the operation on the Joker.

Both Batman and Superman had several superior qualities when they originally debuted. Superman was less powerful and fought for the underdogs of society instead of fighting intergalactic threats and Batman did not have a no-killing rule.

WHAT?! Bruce Wayne is a billionaire?!

I don't think he's that kind of person. Doing that is seriously as bad as taking somebody's life entirely. There are worse things than death - taking somebody's limbs, eyes, ears, tongue, etc and making them just live an existence.. that's not living. Making them just a torso with a head and they lay there for the rest of their lives, incapable of hearing, speaking, seeing, etc, that's pure evil. Batman/Bruce Wayne isn't going to take any part in that, he isn't that kind of person and probably wouldn't allow it at all.

I know Joker is a prick and obviously doesn't even deserve to live at all - but about taking his limbs and all that shit so he can't hurt anybody anymore, that's just straight fucked up and we all know that Batman is not the type of person to do that to anybody if it was up to him.

Yup, OG Batman used to shoot criminals with the same gun used to kill his parents.

Even in modern times Batman has occasionally killed criminals, "by accident".

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Looks to me like they're going to try and hide mediocre casting and poor writing behind a lot of mindless action and cgi

Looks awful. Not interest.

Yeah...I'm getting zero readings on my Give A Fuck O Meter.

Joker is pure evil. He's killed thousands. Innocent men, women and children who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. ISIS terrorists would consider him a sick fuck. There is simply no punishment too harsh for someone like that.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

You know, it's also Superman's fault why Joker is still alive. :icon_chee

If Batman won't kill him, Supes should. Just hover around the Earth's orbit, look for Joker and vaporize him with his heat vision.

The blame also goes out to all the other superheroes.

He is a make believe comic book character, stop trying to rationalize this so much.
