Ah, alright. Thanks for the info.
You're welcome, good sir! Though I would like to clarify that this is my best guess based upon what has been leaked so far regarding the plot and my knowledge of the existing DC universe and conflicts. I would say it's a good guess, but we won't know for certain until the movie comes out.

Actually, I'm calling it now. Batman vs. Superman ends with their mutual distrust reaching comic levels and resulting in a cliffhanger where Superman flies off all angsty-like to face down Batman who is in the Fortress of Solitude, stealing his nanotech and threatening his mom. :DOGE

yeah i would have loved to seen that
I'm sorry, that fight is one of the best examples of why Deathstroke is made of pure victory. We all know Kyle's ring was about to be "Whoa! Screw this, I'm jumping ship to the chainmail dude! His massive, throbbing, girthy willpower is so much more desirable inside me!"

It's actually Freddy Marvel

lmaoooooo i fel bad that it had to be kyle but yeah deathstroke was a fuckin boss there
 
It's still a Superman movie. Just using it to introduce other very important DC characters. No different than using Iron Man 2 to introduce Black Widow or Thor to introduce Hawkeye. I'm sure it will be a small cameo type role but it'll be cool to see Vic Stone on screen.
Trust me, if anything, its more likely to be a Batman movie.

Bruce Wayne will text Lex Luthor using whatsapp, while the latter is enjoying a meal at iHop and sipping on some Coca Cola. As soon as he's onto Lex's plans, he will run to his Batcave and skype Superman, who will then send a package to Wonder Woman using UPS mail, asking for her help, but not before Bruce locates his ol' friend, Cyborg, using his Nokia phone's state of the art GPS.

My body ain't ready for the easter eggs.

Man of Steel was shit.

If I had to bet, I'd say this will be worse. Just call it Justice League and be done with the "Batman/Superman" thing.

I'd rather see an Arrow movie than this. Arrow, DK Trilogy, 1989 Batman and Superman 1 and 2 are the only things DC has ever done right aside from the AMAZING cartoons.

I need to remember to get Son of Batman this weekend, speaking of the cartoons.

So, there's going to be a movie with the TRINITY... Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman.... and now Cyborg and possible other JL members will be in it... and you kids are bitching about it? Pull the sticks out your asses you emo crybabies. I've been waiting my whole life for a live action DC movie like this and all I see are a bunch of neckbeards complaining how their favorite actor isn't in it so the movie will suck. You nerds baffle me. It's fucking Batman and Superman! In a live action movie! Together! The fuck is wrong with you??
Thank you so much for saying what was on my mind, I remember when everyone went bat shit insane about Heath Ledger as the Joker and look what happened. They don't even know what the movie is going to entail other than there is SM, BM,WW, and Cyborg. Just wait and see what happens.

Fanboys around the world are going to have to hold that from now until the end of time....but lets be clear here: for every Heath Ledger Joker I can raise you a Jessica Alba Invisible Woman, or Nicolas Cage Ghostrider, or Ben Affleck Daredevil. Sometimes the basement dwelling antisocial virgins are actually right.

But Jessica Alba is so super sexy.

I think it's a matter of context. No one is upset about seeing these characters. Rather, it's that the whole project seems like a panic move. GL bombed, Man of Steel didn't perform as well as they expected, so the studio has turned MOS 2 into a Batman crossover (introducing a new version of Batman), and then they're throwing in character after character in a scramble. It all feels unfocused from a studio that doesn't know what to do. Of course fans want to see these characters. But it's not enough just to see them, they need a movie that will do them justice. And the chaos surrounding the development and constant focus-changing of this project gives sufficient reason to worry.

From the perspective of someone who's never cared for Capeshit and has never read comics:
They're trying to set up a Justice League movie by shoving all the DC heroes in this one instead of building hype by releasing several movies beforehand. That's part of the reason The Avengers succeeded. I don't see how people are supposed to give a shit about B-list heroes, especially when they'll probably end up having minimal roles in the movie anyway. Coupled with the atrocious casting choices, I predict a mess of a movie. They should have just stuck to Batman vs. Superman.

But then again what do I know. I'm sure comic book fans will eat this up though so at least they're doing something right.

I won't comment on the rest of them, but Daredevil was bad for reasons out of Affleck's control. He did everything he could with what he was given. Same with Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern.

For anyone doubting this movie's success, Arrow was recently named the greatest Comic franchise of all of time. DC's going to take everything they've learned working on that show and only amplify it for this movie & future movies. I'm skeptical about some of their decisions too, but I think we'll all be very surprised.

Can someone, Anyone give me a legitimate reason on why mos was bad. something that is so big that the entire movie was a flop.
This video review explains it perfecty.

Aside from that, I'd just say personally I didn't like the wooden performances and bad dialogue. The gloomy Clark Kent. The awful chemistry between him and Lois, with Lois being awful herself. Undeveloped and therefore unsympathetic secondary characters. The self-important ominous tone. The uninspired Blue/Orange/Grey/Orange/Grey/Blue color palette of the ENTIRE film. The lack of any real threat in the fight scenes.

On top of all of it, you have Superman throwing Zod through buildings, endangering the lives of everyone, collapsing buildings all around. And when it's all done, he stands in the sunset actually proud of what has happened. Superman kisses the girl infront of a collapsing city, meanwhile thousands are dead/dying and trapped under concrete.

So as a movie it was terribly made, and as a Superman movie it fundamentally missed what he's supposed to be about in the first place.

I've heard these complaints before and they sound more and more ridiculous every time.

The movie didn't flop. It was actually huge success. Maybe not to majority of critics, but it pleased it's target audience and that's what a film is supposed to do.
It didn't lose money of course. But it didn't perform nearly as well as they hoped, critically it wasn't greatly received, it did NOT please it's target audience. At best it pleased half of them. And it didn't generate any interest or hype in seeing Superman as a revitalized cinematic character. That's why they call it a failure. *i added more to the previous post

It did. The movie wasn't made for grown men with nothing better to do than nitpick arbitrary "flaws". The superhero genre is for children whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

And the complaint about destroying buildings is ridiculous. It's an alien invasion. He doesn't know the extent of his or Zod's powers. He's new. He makes mistakes. How many people died in the Avengers battle against the aliens? Or in Captain America 2?

People complained because the Superman we all grew up with has evolved and been modernized. The idea of a hero NEVER killing or NEVER letting anyone die isn't plausible anymore. Kids don't buy it these days.

Yes, because the only way for DC to be successful is to do it exactly like Marvel. There can be no other way. Totally brah.

No one in that part could have made that movie anything other than awful, but neither of them helped matters either. They were both horribly miscast, and people are far too kind when the try to let them off the hook. The 2009 punisher film was also a terrible movie, but I've yet to meet a fanboy that thinks Tom Jane wasn't the right man for the job.

DC is irrelevant, they have no real power. Try to understand....Marvel studios is an extremely unique and incredibly special outlier in the Hollywood process. Warner Bros. film, TV, and the little comic book company called DC they own are not really integrated in the way Marvel has set things up.

Besides, for the record, Arrow is highly overrated. I watch it as a guilty pleasure sometimes, but I hate that it and the current comic has regressed Ollie's popular image back into a young blonde Batman wannabe.

It's incredibly dumb movie devoid of all fun and lacking anything meaningful to say making it pretentious on top of everything else.

This, Jesus Christ this. to the casual fan who doesn't give a shit, its fine, but I keep thinking the producers could never get Bruce Wayne/BM into smallville and he would never make it on the small screen especially now because they are filming that pre-batman gotham show about Jim Gordon. This is the closest they get to batman. I mean, Harley makes a cameo appearance and they're talking about the league of assasins in the show,FFS.

Stephen Amell plays a dark brooding, billionaire.....arrow? Where's sarcastic, jokerster ollie? that's his shtick.

This is the same issue with MOS. Arrow has modernized the Green Arrow character to make him relatable TODAY. Not just physically. He's been molded after the New52 version of the character which is much more serious. As much as I love the old Ollie, you can't blame them for wanting to make him less of the joke he was before the reboot. He's not the first character to undergo this change.

you are right however there is too much batman overlay for me to like it as much as I want to
