I never say this, but the action scenes are the most important part of this movie to me. I will forgive A LOT if I get to see some breathtaking fights with Batman and Superman and Superman and Doomsday, and I think it will deliver. I've been waiting for those scenes my entire life.

That doesn't mean that I don't want a good story as well. My hope is that Terio was able to clean up some of Goyer's garbage and Geoff Johns will be a big influence in future movies. Tell Goyer to step away from the pen for fricks sake.

Also, stop trying to experiment with the characters. Don't give us an unconventional Lex. Give us the Lex that we want. Make Superman more of a boyscout at times. (which I hear they are).

The comics always had a way of allowing certain characters to overcome immense odds - even in the face of what would normally be an undefeatable foe. Batman is just one of many in this particular case...

I think that's fair. This movie is being made to appeal to that specific kind of fan. I'm just not that sort of fan (for example, I found the Hulkbuster Iron Man suit to be perhaps the LEAST interesting thing about the Avengers... though I know many people were geeked up for that).

I think this movie is going to have a perfunctory plot designed to move characters from action set piece to action set piece. And, in its defense, those action set pieces, if this trailer is any indication, will be f'n awesome. But if you care about the downtime between fights, well... there better be a lot more Jeremy Irons being cool as hell.

I don't think this movie will be bad, but it's certainly not being made to appeal to me. And I still think DC's biggest problem is that they are ashamed of Superman, which is stupid. He's not edgy, he's the best of us. He's an ideal to aspire to, stop being afraid of his inherent goodness. If they do the same thing with Wonder Woman, I'm gonna f'n snap.
