Hmmm... Is it just me, or do they seem to be implying that Bruce Wayne was inspired to become Batman by Superman's battle against Zod in "Man of Steel?" I'm also guessing that the armor he wears to fight Superman is probably Zod's armor, that's been re-purposed somehow.

I'm still not really sure how Wonder Woman's supposed to fit into all this yet. lol

Weirdly, Bruce Wayne seems to be filling the traditional "Lex Luthor" role here a lot more than Eisenberg.

More proof that Hollywood is fresh out of original ideas. A Superman sequel who would have thought? Maybe audiences didn't get enough in the way of product placements the first time around.
 

LOL, no I dont think so. :lol:

From what Ive read Bruce Wayne is pretty much retired and he decided to become Batman again after what Superman did in Metropolis- seems he holds Supes responsible for all the people who died in that battle with Zod. Now whoever got Zod's body my guess its Lex who got it or the US government. As far as WW, I think she's either an ambassador or her country reveals itself after the events in Metropolis.
 

Well... Yea. Retirement could work too. I'm just saying that the trailer does make it look a lot like Wayne was pissed off enough by what Superman did in Metropolis to put the cape back on, at the very least.

They also seem to be implying that he lost someone in that building that went down. I hope they're not going to give him a wife and kids in this continuity just so Superman can be responsible for killing them. That'd be kind of a bitch. :lol:

Also, what was up with that "Batman vs Hydra/Nazis" scene? WW's home country, ya think, or maybe Wayne's father?
 
Ah DC, Dumb**** Comics. They're just going to keep ****ing with their characters even after they finally, after decades, got one right. They finally got Batman right (Dark Knight) and now here they are changing all that again. Of course they brought in the greatest superhero killer of all time - Affleck. So maybe this is the last for the bats.

Retcon hell.
 


Gotta keep that money flowing, dude!

$$$$$
 

Not sure who Batman is fighting in those other scenes, WW's country doesnt use guns or high tech stuff, they are sort of like Greek gods, we need more trailers so I can be sure though lol.

It's worth noting that Wayne's father in the trailer is being played by the freaking Comedian from Watchmen. I'm sure that wasn't an idyll decision. Lol

I'm thinking WW2/Cold War era Batman, and that he possibly had some kind of connection to the Amazonians which will come into play.

Too many possibilities, damnit! :lamo
 

Yea it's old Batman... he retired, and is coming out of retirement...that has been confirmed.

Not only is he motivated that Superman destroyed his building with people in it, he simply fears supermans power in the face of adversity. Batman is the only guy batman knows that can have such horrible tragedies done to him but still continue on to being the dark knight. What happens when Superman is pushed and broken? Will he break and destroy the world?
That is the main justification batman has to execute his vengeance on superman. That's why in the first trailer Batman asks, "do you bleed?" He's testing superman, to break him, for his vengeance AND the safety of the world.
 

There is also evidence that shows why batman entered retirement.... The joker killed Robin. You see Robins suit with Jokers writing on it.
 

OK I just watched the trailer again- Im just guessing but it seems the soldiers Batman is fighting are wearing superman symbol patches- could Supes have his own army of cultists?

Also the suit that Bruce was staring at in the batcave is Robin's suit and its got graffiti which implies Robin must have died and its possible it was the Joker who killed him.

And the senator in the beginning seems to be mesmerized by Lex Luthor so its possible he takes Zod's body from the US government?

And Batman's iron man armor is taken directly from Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns comic book...
which means Batman probably has some kryptonite ready for Supes.

Ah... Is that what that was? Makes sense.

I wonder if they're planning on using Jared Leto's joker, or making their own.

It will definitely be Leto's Joker- Ben Affleck will be in the Suicide Squad movie too. In fact he shows up in the SS trailer:

Oh, I'm well aware. I was simply thinking that they might try and link it with Zod's armor, in order to handwave why it enables him to go toe-to-toe with Superman. The comic book never really explained that other than to say "well, he's Batman, and he's rich." lol

I guess we'll just have to wait and see though.
 
Not to mention the Joker, the lamest, silliest villain in all comic history. Not even a super-villain. In fact, the Joker's only super power was super insanity. Batman spent decades trying to defeat him, a fellow with no powers whatsoever, and now he's supposed to be able to go against Superman? Laughable.
 



It's worth noting that he actually managed to take over the entire universe at one point in the comics. lol

Emperor Joker

Yeah, I know. That's DC for you and also explains why they need to retcon everything endlessly, hoping to get it right eventually. But hey, Marvel had Howard the Duck. But at least they recognize and rip on the stupidity of that.

Marvel also reboots Spiderman every other decade, half of the time because of stupid crap like One More Day. Their over-reliance upon cheap gimmicks and ever expanding rosters of heroes was also the major reason why the comics market crashed in the 1990s, and mainstream interest had to be renewed with movies to begin with.

It's comics, dude. They're goofy, and always have been. :shrug:
