Batman v Superman Latest News

Exactly...

As much as I keep trying, I know I'll never get you to stop thinking that Tom Welling and Smallville represent the best Superman and Superman related show ever. Sorry, couldn't resist that, lol. Kind of like poking a bear with a stick, hahahaha!

I find it funny, I come into this thread expecting to read about BvS but every other post is about a Marvel movie. I jump into the Civil War thread and nary a post about a DC property in it.

BvS better be good, but it feels like I've seen the movie already with all of the trailers and info purposely leaked about the plot etc...

That's because us DC folks are more respectful...

You know, after watching that really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really long trailer, I think I've deduced that Batman weakens Superman not with a kryptonite enhanced bullet or projectile, but by creating an aerosol version (henceforth the dramatic and always Batmanian smoke grenade) of the stuff which Kal unknowingly inhales, thus delivering it throughout his physiology and weakening him enough for Batman to inflict some (possibly serious) damage...

I dunno, whadda you guys think...?

Yes, out of fear. Muwahahahahahahahaha!

For the love of god almighty, don't watch Iron Man 3 again...you may never recover, lol.

The RT Audience rates MOS at 76%, that's the one that truly counts anyway...the fans, not paid critics...but then again, they rated Iron Man 3 at 79%...so no one counts but me...

I learned to read on Bob Layton Iron Man back when IM was as popular as crotch rot so I'm loving any minute of him being an A-lister. I saw IM 3 once and it wasn't great but was a fan popcorn family flick. Yeah the Mandarin was a joke and it was the RDJ show but still not bad. If anything Spiderman 3 was the worst trilogy sequel. Eric from that 70's show as Venom? Seriously?
Eddie Brock was thuggish and a college former football star. David Boreanaz would have been a better choice.

Spider-Man 3, was indeed horrible...I think you are right, worse than Iron Man 3.

Actually, and I hate to say this...it really pains me to say so, especially since Superman is my fave...but both Superman 3 & 4 are total disasters as well...bless Chris Reeve though...he tried...

I really like Superman III...I think the Clark scenes in Smallville are some of the best in the series. Plus, the evil Superman fight is my favorite of the entire series.

Yeah, not only was Topher Grace miscast as Eddie Brock...but we hardly saw Venom's mask...it was all a vanity Topher Grace display...



And that wasn't even the worst part of Spidey 3...this was...

That would make sense. I think he gets it from Luthor, (not sure if it's directly or indirectly), and my guess is Lexcorp was weaponizing as DOD research...Kryptonite biochem warfare. The only way to know would be to experiment on Zod's body, which is most likely the catalyst that turns him into Bizarro-Doomsday.

I could see Bruce using Kryptonite like Iron Man's arc reactor, though. So it powers the suit and creates a dampening field whenever Superman comes in contact. That would explain the punch-block shot in the trailer. Visually, it also doesn't stop Superman from flying, heat vision, etc...as it would all get exponentially weaker when entering the suits radiation field.

Topher was cast...as Parker for Spidey 2 when Maguire started playing games over money. Sony didn't want to lose him and Arad suggested he become Brock so they could do a Venom spinoff...pun intended.

Raimi wanted nothing to do with it but he had little say after having full-control over Spidey 2 and getting a solid response, but not the earth-shaker Sony wanted. The original talk was he wanted to do Lizard, then Mysterio with Franco as Hobgoblin. They settled on Sandman as the VFX were cost-effective enough to include Venom.

Total mess. Ang Lee's Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Ultron were just as frankensteined.

Please explain how in the hell evil Supes manages to get drunk?

...and Richard Pryor had no business being in this film...

The evil Supes vs Clark fight was okay though, Ill give you that.


But the dumbest superhero scene ever is in Superman 4...Supes rescuing and flying with Mariel Hemmingway in space. Look, ma! No oxygen! My hair is blowing in the vacuum of space (as well as Supes' cape)! I'm not imploding either! Heck, no burn up re-entry into the atmosphere! I must be a human space shuttle with heat shield tiles!

Jesus, where did they hire these keystone cop writers at? Planet Stupid???
