I'm guessing you didn't read my question well enough

Any speculation as to why Superman would hate Batman? I'm having trouble figuring that out.

---

Probably because Batman wants to take him down.

Don't think so, I'd say that the trailer gives enough cause for Batman to disagree with Superman. Whether he hates him or not is your personal interpretation of it. I'd tend to believe that he just disagrees with Superman being as powerful as he is without having anything to balance him, which to a degree is somewhat hypocritical of Bruce since he is a vigilante himself but at this point in time in the DC films there isn't anyone really running around (that we know of right now) with the amount of power that Clark/Superman has.

I'm pumped about this movie regardless of how perfect it fits who these characters are supposed to be.

The point in Superman's favor though is that he was living among you, raised as a human. For 30 years he's been playing by Earth's rules, so to speak. So in your scenario perhaps the victorious alien was your neighbor, who unbeknownst to you had been protecting you for the past several years. Also he can probably help you build a new house maybe? /shrug

The counter to that is no one knew he was living among us for 30 years. He didn't show up until cities started getting destroyed.

But if that 1% means Superman wipes out the human race, do you take that chance?

If there's a 1% chance an American president or Russian leader might someday decide to launch nukes, does that mean every leader of those two countries must be destroyed?

Batman doesn't even talk about destroying the Joker. He talks about capturing him and bringing him to justice, and we know the joker loves nothing more than randomly killing people. The language in what we've seen of this movie is just so over the top it's ridiculous.

Saw saw something posted of Batman surveying a debris field overlooking the ruins of Metropolis with a giant omega sign carved into the earth. Sign of Darkseid either appearing or being hinted at in this movie?

I am looking forward to this but I really wish DC would have followed the Marvel approach, bringing out individual character movies before doing the big team-up story while hinting along the way of the big badass who will be coming for them later. This just seems far too quick to get to a villain like Darkseid.

The Darkseid moment is going to be a dream/ vision sequence.

.

I've done a 180 on my anticipation for this movie now that I know that former Texans' legend Ahman Green has been cast as Thug #2.

In case you missed the Super Bowl 50 ads for Turkish Airlines: flights to Gotham City and Metropolis are now available.

Gotham City version

Metropolis version

I dread whatever scene they fabricate to make him go bald on screen.

So he is Lex Luthor and not his son after all?

I thought about looking it up then realized I just don't care if he is Lex or not. I did read a potential spoiler about another villain that made me roll my eyes though.

Fat batman!

Fun fact: There is a city in Turkey named "Batman." It rests along the Batman River and is home to the Batman Air Force base. The city government tried to sue Chris Nolan over using the "Batman" name, but the lawsuit didn't go anywhere.

Bat fatman?

Ha, a text I literally just got from a friend. I can't tell you how many people have asked me this same basic question over the past few months...

They're not doing a good explanation of the backstory in the trailers, and if somebody like that didn't see MOS they don't get it.

I personally am looking forward to it. But I'm pretty simple-minded when it comes to movies. I usually don't overthink things too much, just go to have a good time.

Yeah, they really, really need to emphasize Wayne witnessing the Superman/Zod fight from the last movie. That's the whole set-up, and explains things perfectly. That should have been the first teaser trailer. Just reshowing us parts of that fight, and then revealing at the end that Wayne was witnessing/at ground zero for the whole thing, is pissed now, etc. That's all they had to do, instead of just showing a couple quick clips in the trailers now. As is, it's hard to even tell that was the same fight.

Same here. And it's one your average moviegoer is going to have that, as mentioned, hasn't been answered well in the marketing.

How are we supposed to ignore the fact that superman could pull batman apart in under 4 seconds? Is Batman going to rich guy gadget his way around super man's infinite power?

DC is just gonna make their version of the Hulkbuster.

*cough* kryptonite ring *cough*

Granted, in the latest trailer, during their fight, Superman says to Batman, "Stay down. If I wanted it, you'd be dead already." So it's more like Superman is having to deal with an annoying kid brother, one he doesn't really want to kill. In that sense, I get it, and it makes it more believable. In fact, on paper, this movie seems to legitimately feature quite a few little clever explanations/motivations like that. Again, the set-up is pretty genius; the way they've incorporated the biggest critique of Man of Steel into the narrative, and basically made Batman an audience/critic surrogate. That's brilliant. And Lex as a tech savvy, Zuckerberg CEO type is a really cool angle as well. On paper. It's just the execution of these elements - from what we've seen in the trailers - that seems to be missing the mark.

If anything, let this be a prime example as to what happens when you start marketing a movie too early. For all its uncertainties, it feels like this movie came out months ago. We've been talking about the various trailers FOREVER, never mind the MONTHS of pouring over set photos and early official stills prior. It's one thing when your movie is marketed as brilliantly as The Force Awakens, and features such an infectuous sense of mystery, adventure, and optimism. But for something as dreary, heavy-handed, and uber serious as BvS, less is definitely more. I feel like I'm being beaten over the head with every new trailer and commercial, going all the way back to April of last year. I just honestly, truly don't care anymore. I don't care if this movie is bad, I don't care if it's good. I'm simply numb to the experience as a whole.

Shut your eyes and say La La La La La next time a trailer exceeds your threshold.
