OT: Batman vs Superman Comic-Con Trailer
Okay Zack Snyder... I'll give you a shot. That's saying a lot considering MoS was, let's just say, mediocre.
Cons:
Batman's parents' storyline getting old.
Gal Gadot still kinda just there/out of place.
Pros:
Robin's dead
Superman cults and skeptics!
Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor
This trailer deff got me feeling a little bit more optimistic. Eisenberg's Luthor is looking very interesting for sure. Affleck is doing a good job pulling off another secluded Bruce Wayne like Bale did.
I just hope it doesn't turn into another mess of destruction porn.
Yeah I think it could get a little Spiderman 3ish if they're not careful with pacing...
I like the whole Superman = dictator? savior? aspect.
I think the core conflict will be interesting, but I'll be surprised if the elements that are there to set up future movies (Wonder Woman, Aquaman, etc.) don't feel shoehorned in.
it can be done. Snyder is not Nolan but you never know

This is certainly better than the first trailer. Believe it or not, I loved Man of Steel until the 6th time I watched it when I could suddenly pick out every mistake. It was kind of like watching a Transformers movie at that point, but without the shitty attempts at humor. (Obligatory: Fuck Michael Bay)
please explain?
You know... the first few times you watch a movie, you get distracted by the awesome visuals and general euphoria of actually being able to watch it... then you watch it over and over and realize that it's full of plot holes everywhere and that the characters just aren't that great.
MoS is an example of this. Here are others.
Inception
Dark Knight Rises
Dexter (applies to TV shows as well)
Star Trek 2
Transformers 1 etc.
I liked the fight scenes in MoS. The visual effects were amazing. But the origin story was quite dull to be honest. It just took way too long to get into it and did nothing to capture my interest. Batman Begins was a little like that as well, but it wasn't as long, and far more interesting. This trailer piqued my interest a little because I'm starting to figure out why Batman and Superman are fighting in the first place. The story seems frustratingly dark, yet fascinating.
Michael Bay is fantastic and his movies are excellent. He did not direct TMNT.
So again, fuck Michael Bay.
And the last good movie that hack made was The Rock.

What is ep7? I googled it all I got was some kind of headphones and an album released in 1999.
Another superhero movie. Hollywood is so damn gutless.
The trailer looked pretty cool, but I probably wont watch it.
I have never read a single marvel or DC comic, so this whole thing is very confusing to me.
Why are they fighting each other?

It has potential, I'll give it that. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the Snyder style visually, especially the color pallate of dark grey on rainy grey, but this is a story that hasn't been told in the other comic book movies, really.
Yes, you have Thor and the Hulk as super-charged lifeforms, but Superman is on another level and has a certain type of iconography that can't be matched. He's this creature with a very human past, who could snap his fingers and take over the world, and who has typically been portrayed as a light allegory for a Christ-like figure (MoS felt about as overly religious as you could get away with without just changing his initials to JC). And then you have this real human superhero in Batman, a guy with a past that, along with Spiderman, really is about as definitive and intertwinned with the character as can be. And he is almost the polar opposite compared to Superman in terms of how his life has been portrayed recently; he is just a nihlist who relies only on himself, who is driven by a sense of "right" that seems intensely personal. Of course he'd want to stop Superman; Batman ultimately hates the unknown, the potential for unintended death and destruction, and Superman embodies an uncontrollable storm.
I get a sense this movie will be a bit of a mess, but it looks like it has some good bones to build from. Introducing Wonder Woman and Aquaman (I believe) feels unnecessary, but who knows. But that last shot, of Batman standing on top of the wrecked Batmobile with a "IDGAF" look on his face while Superman stares him down, is pretty bad ass.
