    Seems like the captions on that Empire cover would make more sense if the actor and character names were reversed.

    Affleck is channeling Adam West in that first photo, it seems.

    I have to admit that although I was very skeptical about this film, everything I'm seeing and reading is really grabbing me. All this as my original enthusiasm for the Fantistic Four film has fallen dramatically over the past few weeks.

    Cavill's Clark Kent on the Empire cover looks like George Reeves' version of Clark Kent to me. :cool:

    I love the idea of this.

    "OK, time to be Batman. First I have to take the cowl off the thing. Wait, shit, there's the cape. Now I have to get into the suit. Now I have to take the gloves off the mannequin. The boots, too. Then put on the belt. THEN I can put the mask on and after that, the cape. Then I can be Batman."

    Batman Returns has its flaws, but showing that Wayne stores the ancillary components in a huge supply is a great bit by both Burton and Schumacher.

    Edit: Seriously, the idea of Batman putting the Batsuit that he uses on a mannequin is just funny. "Oh, God damn it, why won't this glove come off?! :mad:"

    ^^^It looks more like they're taking lessons from Arrow and The Flash, Ollie and Reverse Flash also kept their costumes in a similar manner.

    It is possible that the idea is that he hasn't used the suit in quite awhile.

    True, I thought the idea was that Bruce had retired as Batman.

    Batman has stored his suits like that since his Origins:

    I'm sure someone's done Batman Vs Robocop :).

    And Eisenberg's hipster Luthor would probably more at home in Goth...sorry, Detroit.

    ^ If that's true...

    I hope they don't jump ahead to Oracle. And if she is Oracle, I hope we get to see her as Batgirl at some point in another movie.

    Maybe it's just me, but it almost looks like Cavil is purposely contorting his face to look like Shannon here.

    I wonder if that's intentional.

    No, those are his angry eyes. I don't see any resemblance to Shannon. If you do, happenstance.
