Batman V Superman

looks cool. Reminds me of The Dark Knight Returns comic confrontation.

Where Supes was a reluctant shill for some weird Reaganesque fascist administration.

Spoilers from the Comic/Anime they most likely took the storyline from.

Batman beats Superman because he has kryptonite. In the anime, Batman and Superman don't get along in the future because Superman works for the government and Batman is a vigilante. They both know each other's identity. As long as Superman works for the government, Batman is suppose to stay in retirement.

Batman comes out of retirement because Superman is in another country dealing with a foreign crisis. So the president orders Superman to put Batman down. Superman comes to batman to tell him that he needs to bring him in but Batman declines and so they set a dual date, Batman's choosing. Batman chooses the night time because Superman is weaker at night since his power comes from the sun. It's a great fight but obviously Superman is winning until Batman uses the ace up his sleeve, kryptonite obviously.

Batman had the Green Arrow shoot Superman with Kryptonite and I believe starts to choke him. Batman says something along the lines of, "remember it was me who won this fight". Then all of a sudden, batman has a heart attack. Superman scans his heart and he is in fact dying. Batman's dead, that's what Superman thinks at least.

Superman shows up to Batman's funeral and while he is mourning his dead friend, Superman hears a heart beat. It's Batman's heart and so Superman realizes that he's alive. Batman is actually watching the funeral from a long distance and wanted Superman to know that he was alive. The goal was to make the government think that Batman was dead and Superman is okay with that.

Scene cuts to Batman's new plan, he's going to build an organization to fight for justice since Batman is retired.

From my understanding, Batman and Superman has fought multiple times in different stories.

Batman always wins because he is smarter. Superman relies too much on his powers.
 
Bleh. Looks very typical of Zack Snyder's style. Which, based on his track record on Metacritic, I'm guessing Batman v. Superman will be another mediocre 50%-ish Metacritic score affair.

I'll watch it because Batman is cool but the trailer really did nothing for me. Typical DC going their "the world is super dark" style.
 
What's with the distorted voice? I hope Batman doesn't spend the entire movie wearing a mask making him hard to understand, like Nolan did with Bane. Totally ruined the character.
 
How is this even a thing? Batman sucks shit and Superman has actual super powers. This is like "What's a better drink? Actual Feces, or water?" and then saying the answer might actually be feces and you'd better test both to find out for sure.

Yes, Batman is equal to feces.

Can't disagree. Never been a fan of batman or the more recent reboot of the batman line. Give me Jack Nicholson as Joker or Danny Devito as Penguin in that line of Batman any day of the week.

The very first comic-con reveal had the guy who played the U.S. Army General in the Superman movie reading a section from The Dark Knight Returns

I want you to remember, Clark…in all the years to come…in your most private moments…I want you to remember…my hand…at your throat…I want…you to remember…the one man who beat you.

So yeah the movie is inspired or calls back to that material.

I can't agree with this opinion after rewatching them all. The old batman movies have not aged well IMO, and frankly Nicholson's joker wasn't done very well.
 
lol, isn't that a spoiler for the movie? I guess they did take the major story from that comic/anime I mentioned.

If you watch the whole video Zack Snyder said they didn't do a whole sale copy of that part of the comic but rather that the comic inspired many elements of the Batman Superman love/hate bromance.... yeah I said it.
