re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice set and cast photos

Can someone tell me how doomsday kills superman in teh comics?

also, what happens to that universe when superman dies? Does it go to shite from villains? Does some other hero emerge?

I need answers people

yes

avengers in fact has more plot holes, the entire second act is boring nonsense. Really, the only good thing I can say about it is how well the actions framed in the last 20 minutes, the scene where they're fighting monsters I've never seen before, know nothing about, and don't care about.

MOS has ridiculous advertising, some poor acting by the two leads (it's a superman movie though) amy adams shouldn't even be in the movie at all, there are some glaring plot holes and metropolis takes too much of a beating, which I could overlook if it wasn't bidnass as usual in the final scene

MOS>avengers.

I think the animated series and the recent DC animated films have captured the character perfectly and that is what the movies should attempt to do

Agreed, that's a good modern Superman while keeping in touch with what made him great. I think we'll be seeing that in the sequels and JLA movies.

Why would you think that? MOS had absolutely nothing in common with Superman: The Animated Series.

Jor-El...they did this all wrong

I honestly don't like Russell Crowe in this role. It should've been Jon Hamm in this role. The father of Superman should actually look like Superman would be his real son.

I absolutely loved Lara and I was glad she had a bigger role. She's very underrepresented in the comics even though she's Superman's mother. I loved the actress playing her.

Thank you sir

the fight scenes were excellent but it wasn't just the ihop sceneS they're fighting in front of the worst sears advertisement ever

these two blatant marketing scenes make the 7/11 and others stick out even more

it was way too much

I thought Russell Crowe as Jor-El was great.

I won't comment on the casting too much. I didn't think he was great, didn't think he was awful...I agree with sentrius' remarks about lara. Anyway, the whole computer consciousness angle was way to convoluted and overdone. For example

- how does FJorel know Jorel was murdered by zod, jor el was alive when he made this thing and put it in the ship, how does it know these things that happened after its creation?

- too life like. I thought it should have had a more ghostly feel to it, very monotonous because the responses are programmed and would be recorded without situational context

- the appearance is worse...why couldn't jor el just be a computer program that controls the ship and has his voice...maybe his face comes out of one of those weird things with the metallic faces. No it's just pop and son talking it up.

- even in krypton, computers shouldn't be emotional. When jor-el cannot convince zod, which that scene is weird because zod points out how stupid all of this is, he resorts to taunting zod...what? even zod is fricking confused.

- jor el has a suit with the symbol of his house in a ship that is 20,000 years old and this is also before krypton started their eugenics programs...and why does it have a cape, no one else has a cape

My biggest gripe is the thematic inconsistency. Again, I thought this movie was about choices and freedom, yet those themes were thrown away the second zod showed up.

again, I really like this movie

New Batman mask and cape at Comic-Con.

Maybe the OP could update the subject of the thread. Maybe 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Mega Thread'?

Yea, this one was not that important. We've seen the Bat suit already. When a WW pick comes out, it'll deserve it's own thread.
