Trailer looks amazing. The elephant in the room is Zack Snyder, Mr Trailer himself. Although I liked Man of Steel, I'm still waiting to see the movie that was sold to me in those trailers.
I do think the saving grace is Chris Terrio and Ben Affleck (Shudder). They bring instant story telling and screenplay credibility. I'm sure some will still hate it, but I think this will be a very good movie, at least much better than Man of Steel.
Random musings: Whats up with the Desert Batman and Superman soldiers? Weird. I'm still confused by Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. He looks more like a pre-Joker than a Pre-Luthor.
I do kind of miss the charm of Reeves' Superman, but I don't blame Cavill. I blame the writing. The dude has a constant concerned/sad/pissed off look on his face. I hope we get a taste of the who most people understand him to be. Reeves' was not the original interpretation of Superman. But he is everyone's favorite. One theme of Superman that they really seem to want to hammer home in this one is that he really has no home. The people of earth are scared of him and Batman wants to destroy him. Most people would pack up and leave, but he continues to help people and owns up to his mistakes.
Ben Affleck may just be an awesome Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Good to see Woman Woman is going to get in on the action.
And who the hell cares about DC vs Marvel? I just like movies, more good ones is good for everyone.
