    Oh, see, Marvel can poop these things out and Warners takes forever because Warners is a factory and Marvel is run by artists.

    Wait a minute, let's back up there... ;)

    The animated "World's Finest". The most engaging conflicts don't always end in drawn blood. Or the threat of it, Predator-style.

    If repercussions can't be expected to be followed up on within the same movie (and are, in fact, all but seemingly erased as people look up in awe at him and say "he saved us" while Clark is able to joke around in an undamaged Daily Planet in an undamaged Metropolis), why should that be any different for the sequel?

    Why shouldn't it?

    Sorry, that movie was over. Any attempt to "address" those issues in a brief denouement would have to have been dismissive and diminished their importance at best, though it might have served as a sop to the nitpickers.

    That seemed to be only for Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises.

    Bale's Begins voice was strange but not inhuman. The Batman voice in the next two films is easily the worst thing about them.

    Just thinking out loud here.

    One interesting contrast between BvS: DoJ and Miller's The Dark Knight Returns will be that whereas Miller's work pitted Bruce and Clark against each other at essentially the climax of their friendship, in the upcoming film they will evidently fight each other at the relative outset. That suggests the possibility that any friendship they have afterwards might be on more solid ground, without going at it in Crime Alley in their futures. The issues of vigilantism as opposed to authorized policing may well be ironed out in the formation of this Justice League, instead of hanging over it as something to divide the heroes. That means this telling of the tale has the potential to be relieved of some of the dystopian elements that occupied Miller's works, at least in the long run; the title Dawn of Justice suggests moving towards a more ideal world (at least a more just one) than the current one.

    Niether one of them are slated for a summer release and in any event Batman VS Superman was pulled back to 2016.

    I really like the Bat-suit, aside from the stubby ears.

    The short ears work for me. In a combat situation the less to grab the better.
