You know what? I'm done with you losers! You are pathetic! Wasting your time with this s**t. I'm done with you. You wont be seeing me here again! So long, a-holes!

its just the green lantern are space cops and so is hal jordan i want to see him in space fighting aliens and going to different planets and i don't think the cw or any network is right for green lantern. i feel as if gl should only be for the movies

yeah i know

According to other rumor at the end of BvS a part of Gotham City would be destroy.

but ,but,.... will people be saved ????

Why did Superman fight bats in the city, he could have taken the fights elsewhere , he doesn't care for the people of Gotham :(

Hopefully not. I don't want haters to have more material to hate dc

But will Arkham City be built over the rubble?

Yes. It's a big part of his identity.

But he's known for not killing. It's one of the things that causes him pain. It's a huge part of his conflict with Red Hood, for instance. I don't think he should kill.

Good thinking

Yes

Well, considering in the movie world you can't have every villain alive cause you have to bring a new villain in the next movie, I would say it doesn't count if he kills or not, but how it is handled. That's why nobody complained about Dent, but everyone complained about the in-your-face and direct death of Zod.

I'll let Bane speak for all of us:

I guess he did that in JL animated's pilot ? Moreover Batman's gadgets allow him to maime aliens at most rathe than kill them

just if he follows "the batman begins principle": "i won't kill you, but i don´t have to save you"

Agreed. Depends on the writing and execution if absolutely necessary

Looking back on it, I don't know if I like that quote

I think so if it fits. It would most likely be dealt with offscreen or without much focus, like cap shooting the aliens in the avengers.

The reason i think many people reacted so negatively was the fact that zod was a main villain and not just a henchman. In most superhero movies, the heroes kill people/things, but it is dealt with offhandedly rather than as the main focus. Which is why i doubt people would react as strongly if it were aliens that were not so humanoid.

People really did lose their shit at that point and for no reason. At least in BB Bruce has a reason not to kill because he holds justice most high not revenge. MOS did nothing to show why supes won't kill so I am fine with it. Besides killing Zod can factor as a reason to create a no kill rule unless when absolutely necessary of course

Batman killed Ra's in BB.

Of course he did . Or did he ? Ra's could have still jumped off and survived in a coma or something (not difficult for screenwriters to come up with some crazy idea or directly factor the Lazarus pits if they went that route ). Still I see it as a moment where Ra's accepted his fate (he did screw up the brakes so he sealed his fate at that moment making it a suicide mission just as Talia's mission of flying out changed at the end moment). That scene still baffles me .

Well he does simply blast the likes of Parademons with explosive Batarangs, so I guess so. He has also killed animals when necessary, which seems to indicate his "no kill" policy applies only to humans (and other more human-like species).

i think no killing; he already puts guns onto all of his vehicles

He only uses them for "intimidation". :D

yeah, after that scene from batmam 89 on which batman locks in the joker at the parade i realized that either batman doesn't want to kill or he has poorer aiming than a stormtrooper...

ha, a marvel troll with a point... interesting

Please don't give him a reason do that again .

Become rude and start trolling again

If Disney didn't buy Marvel, Marvel would have gone bankrupt or more likely been purchased by Fox or Sony or some media-conglomerate we've never even heard of. Could have been better, but probably would have been way worse. The MCU would probably be much more X-Men and Fantastic Four-centric (if Fox had bought Marvel outright).
I think we'd still have the same level of interest in comic book movies as we do now. Remember, that was building up since the first X-Men and Spider-man movies and then the Dark Knight Trilogy. Someone would have filled the void if Disney hadn't.
The tone might be different, and we probably wouldn't have a bunch of fanboys insisting that comic book movies should follow the letter of the out-dated comic code that the industry spent so long fighting against and overcoming both artistically and commercially.

i just had a random thought hal jordan should be called daredevil since the green lantern have no fear or for that matter every member of the green lantern corp haha

you don't get it daredevil is called the man without fear and Technically so is hal jordan

and that's also why blake deduced bruce's true identity; blake undestands...

Yeah, there isn't even a Joker or a Carrie Kelley Robin in BvS while they had big roles in Frank Miller's TDKR.

I don't really think Bruce would let him go without training that easily . And there's still Alfred , Fox and Gordon to help him out on his crusade. Blake was a cop, I expect him to have a little hand to hand training, and Blake won't be that much of a foll to jump immediately, or rather the others wouldn't let him do it .

hey, i just got that last scene... blake rises, then "the dark knight rises". damn it Nolan! make another one please, just for the hell of it!

Yeah, what's stopping him from seeking out training like Bruce did? I don't think the League of Shadows was the only gang who knew martial arts in the world...

Nolan never wanted to do anything Batman related beyond those three films.

You guys see this online yet? What do you think?

Interesting, but could be anything. Most obvious answer is that there's a crew member with a similar jawline to Affleck. It wouldn't make sense for Affleck to just be hanging around on set for a scene he's not in, unless his behind the scenes role in the DCCU is larger than we thought.
Affleck was spotted in LA last week, fwiw.

Yeah he's got an ice breaker for the bar later

I dismissed this earlier, but it really does look like him. The guy even seems to have the same hat Ben wore when he was first spotted at the Canadian gas station.

ILLUMINATI IN SUICIDE SQUAD CONFIRMED.

Lol

Wot?

Well somewhere he had a hat on.

I suppose it could be Affleck's stand in or stunt double, but it makes absolutely no sense that Bruce Wayne would be a part of the specific scene they were filming, unless maybe this is the scene where Harley and Joker are arrested and sent to Belle Reve/Arkham/Blackgate.

YES! That actually would make sense.

Actually, is the most plausible.

Well another video shows the Jokers car drive off, with a motorbike chase after it. So that could be Wayne/Batman.

No, it's Harley

On the bike?

Yeah, I saw a pic of her on the bike. Have to remember where though haha

"No Mr.J, I'm not getting in the car"
"For fucks sake pudding, I was playing hard to get!!"
I could imagine Harley saying that to be fair.

It's not just a Motorbike Dennis!!!!! It's a Harley!!!!(pic)
http://uproxx.files.wordpre...
I C WUT U DID DER!

Or maybe studying the character to understand how his batman would interact with him
It's like spotting a cryptid!
No bum chin.

It's hard to tell in that pic whether the man with the hat has a "bum chin" as you put it!!!
He has the chin and the nose?? Other then that I don't know!!
I suppose it's possible. The one thing that makes me think no is his lack of height. This person looks to be of similar height to Leto, who is a little on the short side.

Yeah but the dude's clearly crouching a bit.

Yeah, been even still. Ben is like 6'3". Leto is only 5'9". That's a pretty big difference...
Again, I suppose it's possible. However, just going by this, I lean towards no.

The only way I see it possibly being Ben is if the dude in the back is actually standing further back than he appears to be. But I don't know.
speaking about AoU's flying city: too bad marvel doesn't own xmen's movie rights, that scene screamed "magneto's avalon" loud and clear...
Cap's Rachel dies. And I was so emotionally attached to her. Her CGI tears in TWS really broke my heart.
"help build tension"
But one of the hallmarks of the MCU is the complete lack of tension. These movies go out of there way to deflate any sense of tension, whether it's the reliance on deus ex machina and mind-control plot devices or the near-constant one-liners, especially in action scenes.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Clearly it's working from a commercial standpoint, just not satisfying for me as an audience member.
Why would they want actual tension between Tony and Steve, when they can just invent some sort of random coincidence or case of mistaken identity that allows the heroes to engage in conflict, without actually having to suffer any consequences or make any choices that might confuse or alienate mainstream audiences and small children. That way, at the end of the movie, the heroes can just laugh off the conflict and move forward as if nothing happened, rather than actually have to take an actual stand or recognize that we live in a world where even the greatest of heroes can disagree about serious issues.

The plot of 'Avengers 2.5: Civil War': Loki's mind controlling MacGuffin.
Bulked Bats

Capullo/Snyder?

Ah. Fuck me.
Both as equally!!! My Father would never let me use a gun or kill to my dismay!!!!
This is super!

As much as I love the MoS cape

I would've really liked to have seen the yellow shield on the cape. Can't have too much hope, right?
http://historywired.si.edu/...

So your hoping hope is on the cape????

I cannot say that I ever found it cheesy at all. A little redundant maybe. I prefer no crest on the cape, though, too.

Nah just overkill
Guys you people should check this animated opening credits for Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice, fan made of course but it gave me CHILLS.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

That's what i was thinking for a very long time, i was like if Marvel had closing credits, why can't DC have opening credits like Watchmen.

I don't think it will have any opening credits like Watchmen, but I do think the movie will open up with Bruce Wayne in Metropolis at the time of the Zod invasion. Just picture Bruce sitting at a meeting or something and shit starts to go down.

Actually this movie is set to take place 1 or 2 years after MoS so a opening credits like Watchmen would come in handy to explain what happened in that time period in a pretty quick way. Considering we are hearing rumors that MoS lead to a sudden increase in meta human population and the entire world government collectively scratching their heads.

I think BvS starts with a retired Bats who after 10 years meets another Robin named Carrie Kelley.

I have been consistently hearing rumors and reports that said Jena Malone is playing Barbara Gordon and not Carrie Kelly. And this Batman will be like 44 years old in the movie so he's not Dark Knight Returns level of oldie yet.

Those rumours are false cause i haven't seen an article on Babs but a lot on Carrie Kelley on You Tube. Btw. Babs isn't part of Frank Miller's TDKR.

Barbara not being a part of TDKR doesn't mean she won't be in the movie and Carrie being a part of TDKR doesn't mean she will be in the movie, because adaptations doesn't work that way.

Zack Snyder said in an interview that BvS is heavily influenced by BTDKR where Carrie Kelley and Bats were the main characters. If she's Babs then probably she will be Oracle but we are still in the dark here about Jena Malone's role, she isn't even officially confirmed that she's in the movie.

Well Jena Malone is in the movie for sure there's no doubt about that but frankly speaking Oracle/Barbara brings more to the table in the current DCCU than what Carrie Kelly can bring.

There is doubt, because no one has confirmed it.

Its Jason Momoa all over again, she's doing the same thing when asked by the media and even THR has confirmed that she's in the movie. So she is in the movie but its only a matter of which character is she really playing.

That's the point, only THR and Variety confirmed Jena Malone being part of BvS but not for what role. In general both sources are quite reliable. It's all speculation of course about her role but the IG photo of hers where she showed her cartoon-esque red hair wasn't coincidence.

Well i hope you're right cause it doesn't matter to me whether she's Babs or Carrie Kelley, i like both characters and Jena Malone is a top-notch actress, she deserves a decent role.

We don't know if she's in it or not!!!! There's one pic of her on set and everyone went crazy!!!!

Obviously you don't know the whole story.

Neither do you!!!!

You only talk about a set visit but there's more than that which i'm not gonna tell you cause i've said it a dozen times.

And as I said before I still won't believe you till you give me evidence!!!!

For the last time and i'm not gonna repeat myself anymore, there was a set visit of hers cause she and Zack are good friends, they were eating an ice cream and for sure they were talking about a possible role, she wouldn't only be there to say hello and how are you doing, no i don't think so. A few days later she appeared on her Instagram where she was sporting a cartoon-esque red hairdo accompanied with the words: Drastic times call for drastic measures. This is telling me that she dropped us a hint. You may find out yourself what this means.
Well here's the evidence in the form of pics:
Here they are:

She was on the set once!!!! And was never seen on it again!!!! ANDwhen she was on the set her hair was not red!!!

Please pay attention and re-read my comment below with the pics and all. She was more than once on set but that isn't seen anymore cause BvS is filmed in high secrecy.

And you know she was on the set multiple times how??? As you just said it was filmed in secrecy!!!

This was confirmed by other people and if you think for a little this time the whole story i wrote in my previous comments should give you the answer.
Can you PLEASE stop insisting on your Carrie Kelley / Jena Malone theory? None of us really know how the movie will begin, and for sure we don't know if Carrie is going to be part of BvS. Also, the fact that Snyder said the movie is heavily influenced by TDKR doesn't mean it will include ALL the characters that appeared on that comic.
I never said that,i advise you to read better my comments and stop insisting with your comments on mine. Btw. the start of the movie will be a retired Bats, it's been said by many others.
Aren't you insisting on the fact that Carrie will be on the film? Not to mention you are already giving the role to Jena Malone. And we still don't know if the retired Bats thing is true, until it´s confirmed is just a rumor like any other.
Bats is retired maybe for 10 years after the killing of Jason Todd by the Joker cause rumour has it that he might appear in BvS in a flash back scene and Malone isn't officially confirmed but i believe THR and Variety if they say she's in it cause they're quite reliable sources in general. From deduction and logic i say she's in it playing a redheaded character.
Thanks for giving me the reason on both points.
You're only saying that nothing is confirmed until it's confirmed, of course that's always the case but that has nothing to do with speculation in a logic and deductive way.
True that!!!!
It would be cool if the satellite Superman destroyed was working as some sort of spy satellite to track down the Joker, and when it got destroyed, it lead to him eluding Batman and eventually killing Jason Todd. Thus all giving Bruce a reason to hate Superman.

Fan theories like this are one of the reasons why I have heart palpitations. Primarily because a JaredJoker appearance in BvS would literally have me crying tears of joy.

Well rumour has it that the Joker might appear in BvS in a flashback scene maybe about his past or killing Jason Todd where Bats then retires for 10 years and after that Carrie Kelley might come into play.
NICE
Haha are you fucking serious? Grant Gustin is an ok (at best) actor trying to be Andrew Garfield (another ok at best actor). Ezra Miller is amazing
Nope. But even then those Flarrow bitches will say "Ezra Miller sucks! Those movie sucked!"
