‘Superman & Batman’ movie will follow ‘Man of Steel’

[eyeresist]

Feels like hollow marketing to me. Either the violence means something to the story, in which case the Cinema version is apparently being hamstringed for the sake of the kiddies or it's completely superfluous and this is just a ploy to get fans to shell out more money for a 'special' version.

I think it's common practice for action movies to cut a few things to get a wider audience in cinemas, then have an "unrated" version for home release. It's just the reality of the market place.

My guess is that Batman gets a lot more brutal and violent than we've probably ever seen him before. Which explains all the talk of this being another "controversial" movie like MOS.

There are all sorts of potential sources of violence, not least Lex and Doomsday. Also, horrible things probably happen in the Knightmare section.

I just remember the magic of seeing these movies as a child that still resonates today. When things push the boundaries this far, it's tougher to justify the same happening with the current generation of youngsters.

I still remember being shocked by the scene of Lois being smothered in dirt.

On Flash, my son hates the romantic scenes and my daughter loves them. I think that's pretty amusing.

Ha, I think your son probably has that in common with a lot of adult comic book fans as well.

Affleck rewrote parts of the script while still dressed as Batman

The Oscar-winning screenwriter “would go into wardrobe and get all suited up for the day in his Batman suit,” explains the insider of the action flick. “Then he would sit around reworking the script. Ben wasn’t thrilled with it and would find himself on multiple occasions fixing it the day of.”

Hopefully that will help the script.

I think it could be similar to Harrison Ford changing Han's response to Leia's "I love you", in ESB, from "I love you too" to "I know." Harrison really got into his character, and the result was much better with many saying the change fits Han more.

With Affleck, being in costume, immersing himself into the role, hopefully he requested changes that better fit his interpretation of Bruce Wayne / Batman.

I got a hold of some leaked dialogue that he rewrote. It's powerful stuff.

Alfred: Hey, Bruce? I don't know a lot. You see this? All this shit?
[Throws down the Wayne murder file and points at the dead Robin's costume]
Alfred: It's not your fault.
Bruce: [shrugs] Yeah, I know that.
Alfred: Look at me, son. It's not your fault.
Bruce: [nods] I know.
Alfred: No. It's not your fault.
Bruce: I know
Alfred: No, no, you don't. It's not your fault.
Bruce: Alright.
Alfred: It's not your fault.
Bruce: Don't fuck with me, Alfred, not you!
Alfred: It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
[Bruce breaks into sobs. They hug]
Alfred: Fuck Gotham, ok?

Affleck- hey Damon! Get over here and fix this script. I don't care if you're in the middle of filming.

A video has popped up on Youtube showing a bunch of close up pictures of Wonder Woman's costume.
One thing I saw in the pictures that I love is that the whole outfit is covered in dents and scratches like she has actually been wearing it into battle for decades or centuries.

Super strength, immortality, and the ability to fly: Easy to believe.
Repairing or replacing damaged clothing and armour: Not realistic at all!

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

It's like battlescars. She wears them proudly.
Only she can still wear bikinis.
Black Widow is jealous.

Haha, that works!
I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I just enjoy seeing comments for all superhero stuff on what details are appreciated in bringing these characters to life and make them believable when there's so much fantastical there anyways. It's like Nolan's Batman films, he tried so hard to ground everything in reality, when, come on, it's a dude dressed as a bat that punches clowns, getting lost in the details is almost more distracting than not.

BvS pre-ticket sales have surpassed Age of Ultron and Jurassic World.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/batma...n-of-justice-ticket-sales-is-trending-a131575

I guess "reports" of BvS presumed under-performance were, once again, greatly exaggerated.

 

[eyeresist]

^ Surprised by the lack of negativity in the comments to that story.

...

Hooray!

BvS ticket sales have surpassed Age of Ultron and Jurassic World.

Looks like my strategy of procrastination could turn out to be a spectacular failure!

 

[M.A.C.O.]

I bought my ticket for Thursday at 6:00pm. Nearly all Friday and Saturday showings are sold out in my area.
