Two weeks away? Seems like it's definitely tied to the NFC/AFC Championship games then. I believe they did something similar with BvS.
That's not how it works in the real world. Clark Kent isn't Jesus Christ.
BvS situation, literally right after Lex tosses Lois off a building. Superman opens with saying he'll take Lex in without hurting him. Then Lex takes out photos of his mother gagged and threatening to kill her. Superman has an angry, emotional reaction... because he's still "human." Forreal, did people think he's tussle Lex's hair and call him a little rascal.
later, literally saving Lex from his own monster,
Superman is Jesus in the DCU. Heh.
No wonder people threw a fit when Superman was portrayed as having flaws. BvS is Snyder's The Last Temptation Christ.
Huh? Doesn't the movie explicitly state that Superman didn't kill that warlord guy or any of his goons? I thought that was the whole point of lex hiring people to lie about the Africa incident after lex's men killed/torched all the bodies.At absolute no point should Superman be getting upset to the degree he turns on his laser eyes. This action is considerably worse given in his first scene he's blissfully murdering a person like he's getting Lois McDonald's, which reinforces the worst case scenario appearance after what he did with MOS.
Snyder's Superman worked for many people. Otherwise, MoS and BvS wouldn't have a fan base.I'm surprised folks are disagreeing. Snyder literally acknowledged this in Man of Steel a few times.
But as I've pointed out before, people rarely have an issue with a more emotional Superman, but you likely need to balance the more somber tone with something more lighthearted. That balance is key. Smallville ran for 10 years on teenage angst Clark Kent. Grant Morrison's Action Comics is well-loved, featuring a younger, more aggressive Superman.
But also still a man of the common folk.
Superman: American Alien has a more selfish Clark Kent, who is enjoying his powers on the way to becoming Superman.
So why do those takes work for many folks, and Snyder's did not? And it's not just "Superman mad".

Sure I guess you can say that. I still remain unconvinced seeing as how MoS was mostly well received when it came out and its reputation has only grown stronger over the years.Truth. Rephrase: Snyder's Superman did not work for a general audience?

Harsh.The Snyder take worked out swimmingly and the general audience loved it? So what is everyone whinging about then? Can't be a martyr for loving Snyder's take if everyone thought it was amazing!
Surely, this is why there's another Superman film on the near horizon.

In a comic book movie, a person never dies unless it's explicitly stated or shown that they do. You can't go by real world physics with stuff like that gif.Snyder cut the part where we see Superman breaking outside with a bloody warlord ragdoll in his hands, then throwing him kilometers away in the desert... but super speed + these 2 walls are enough to tell us that the guy is dead.
The best part ? Superman almost smiles in this scene, just when he decides to go for the killing.
I had thought about that, but, realistically, one tiny rock from that collapse is all it would take to kill that guy going at that speed. But again, this is a comic book movie, not a documentary or historical fiction.Yeah, he could be leading with his fist while holding the guy close :)
Yep. No body, no kill. Otherwise Cap murdered a ton of dudes in the beginning of Winter Soldier, because no one is surviving that shield to the face.In a comic book movie, a person never dies unless it's explicitly stated or shown that they do.

Not to touch on having empathy for the dictator who had a gun to a reporter's head... the poor fella.
Yep. It's weird.Like, dudes having deep empathy for the asshole in the bar groping the bartender.
Superman's powers are lethal to humans. In the DCU, he's not as fast as Flash despite of what Whedon tried to characterize.With the warlord, sorry, but Supes can manage the situation in a lot of different, non lethal, ways.

Whether he's dead or not, it should be clear Superman is smiling to Lois to tell her to relax. The gif leaves out Lois lowering her hands.
You know, one thing BvS absolutely got right is the idea of people projecting their own ideas onto Superman. One of the sillier posts from back on gaf claimed in shot of Superman hovering over a flooded area, one where you can't see his face, he's scowling and pissed off about having to save people. Dudes project their own cynicism onto these moments. Or vice versa. And to be fair, it can be argued it's for a lack of strong and explicit characterization. But it's still kinda funny to see some reads on some scenes. Like, dudes having deep empathy for the asshole in the bar groping the bartender.
It's a more serious version of Superman. It's not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you're going to see a Superman you've never seen before. We approached it as though no other films had been made. He's the king-daddy. Honestly that's why I wanted to do it. I'm interested in Superman because he's the father of all superheroes. He's this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we've made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It's been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully."
Why choose? Would not be surprised if the next Justice League had more female members.I think we're closer to a female superhero team up movie than we are to the next Justice League.
Wonder Woman + Harley Quinn + Mera + Batgirl would be TOO good.
So you're saying it's Alfie Allen then?

He's saying it'll get rolled into the WB app. Sigh. This is what happens when you don't have a world wide release.
Probably posted already, but someone on Twitter is sharing concept art for Aquaman

DC Universe needed to have Marvel Unlimited-level comic offerings, plus those shows.
But even then, that's too limited for premium content production. A full Warner Media app is where all that stuff should be. It was a nice shot, but a sub for streaming video feels like it needs to be network-based, but brand-based.
MoS came out, made money, and then sequels got greenlit. The Blu-ray was a hit and BvS was in line to break all sorts of records. Is that not a sign of interest? Or are we going to pretend like MoS was always reviled?The Snyder take worked out swimmingly and the general audience loved it? So what is everyone whinging about then? Can't be a martyr for loving Snyder's take if everyone thought it was amazing!

Pick one. Either the general audiences loved that version of Superman, or they're all misguided for not getting what Synder was putting down. That's two different directions of thought.
