Now these make this movie look FUN, belying the grim, dark trailer.

Just keep repeating that to yourself.

^I know better. But the promo art is cool, and slightly cheeky, which is NOT what I get from that trailer and anything else we've seen. The image I posted above is the darkest piece of the collection.

Does this look like an impossible pose? Batman is in front of Superman, yet Superman's arm is in front of Batman's shoulder but then Batman's left hand is behind Supes arm and still Batman's elbow is in front of Supes body.

I feel like Batman's left arm should be behind Superman's body at least.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^It looks like somebody tried to ape Jim Lee and Frank Miller at the the same time. If Superman were floating or standing on something above Batman, it kinda makes sense, but as it stands, it does look kinda weird, because of Bat's left elbow, as you said.

All the modern film making technology of today, and we get that instead of this:



It's too bad.

I agree, Hedji. When I was a kid and even as a teenager, Batman and Superman always worked TOGETHER. I can't remember which "brilliant" writer or editor decided it would be better to them to be "frenemies."

Well, it actually started when Batman formed the Outsiders to do what the JLA refused too. They had a rift in World's Finest during this time, but buried the hatchet in WF #300. Then of course, Frank Miller ran with the notion, and from then on, Batman and Superman had to start out as enemies at the very least.

^^^Batman and the Outsiders was a good series. I collected that entire line from it's inception to the end.

It's like trying to figure out whose fault the nuclear war was.

lol

But on a serious note...why superhero vs superhero? That's not very heroic nor noble, not one bit.

As much as I hate to admit it, you probably have to blame Mike W. Barr. He was the first to posit maybe Supes and Bats wouldn't gee-haw about everything...beyond a one-off World's Finest where they are manipulated into fighting.

probably not the right place to post this ,but promo is a bit like advertising ,which sort of leads to mad men lol

i still think john hamm would make a great superman or batman for that matter ,and i know warners were looking at him ,just wonder if his rehab problem halted that ,shame if it did and im glad to hear hes recovered and wish him luck and all the best in the future

I'd like to see something along the lines of the Animated World's Finest movie. I am worried about how far up Miller's hinder this movie will be, I really don't want Sin City in my Superheroes.
