I am hoping this will be good. I am getting BvS vibes from those trailers, but I really hope I am wrong.
Coming out soon and I've not seen much in the way of advertisement which is curious. It had better be good. DC universe is falling waaayyyy behind Marvel in that area. Wonder Woman was great though which helps. Wanna see how they make aquaman NOT a sucky superhero.

I've seen a bunch of TV ads.
Looks good.
There may be a fly in the audience ointment given Ben Affleck is Batman again and the whole six degrees of Weinstein separation thing.
Still looking forward to it as well as to Thor.
The Thor movie looks awesome.
If I remember right, to me B vs S was kind of what-the-hell?
I want to see it again to see what I musta missed the first time.
The Thor movie looks awesome.
I was pissed when afleck was picked for Batman Superman movie. Was pleasantly surprised that he did ok in the role.

Wonder Woman was a perfectly fine movie, but it simply wasn't that great compared to the Marvel movies. It was lauded to the degree that it was because DC finally made a movie that didn't suck giant wet donkey balls.
Here's the problem with DC movies. They can only be as good as their source material. Marvel comics? Awesome. DC comics? Meh.
I just wanna say this about the JL trailers: We know who Alfred is talking to ("Now let's...hope...you're not too late"), so you might as well just show his face in costume in your trailers!
All i gotta say is when he shows up on screen, they better give him some awesome fanfare music.

See, this is another area where Marvel is beating the ever-loving crap out of DC: Marvel is hitting their B-list comics (who didn't watch the Guardians of the Galaxy coming attractions and think, "Um...a talking raccoon?"), whereas DC is still rebooting...Batman. Seriously, if I spent the rest of my life without seeing another Batman reboot I'd be fine.
I'm giving Spider Man a pass on all the reboots because Sony never should have been making Marvel movies to begin with. That goes doubly for Fantastic Four. I'd love to see what Marvel Studios does with them.
Fantastic Four has always pissed me off. Hated the comics. Hated the movies. Four people go into space, get hit with the same radiation and all four come up with non fatal and somehow, differing super-abilities. I've always thought it was a really stupid origin story no matter how the movies tried to respin how it happened. I've always preferred Dr. Doom and was pulling for him. He was at least a motivated bad guy which... unlike most of Stan Lee's bad guys was cool. Stan Lee was always the master of conjuring up superhero's. His villain lineup suuuuuuccckkks. I was pleased how Hollywood respun the whole Vulture bad guy in that last spidey movie. That was cool how it piggy-backed off the Avengers movie as an origin story. The Vulture in the comics... juuuuust terrible.

But Rhino? Come the **** on. A guy who'd put on a skin-tight rhino suit and run into things with his head. It's like Stan Lee made up superheros and his brain was all spent after that.

Bad guys need a purpose. Marvel seemed to write up bad guys who were bad for the sake of being bad and no believable motivation that you could sympathize with. I think that was probably Hollywood's biggest hill to climb in making marvel movies. Finding a purpose for the bad guys. Like Vulture in the last spiderman. Sandman in the earlier spiderman. You could understand why they were the way they were. In the comics... not so much.

Boy Bitten by Radioactive Spider Dies of Leukemia. Peter Parker, 17, Was Avid Student of Science, Photography
“This was no ordinary case of leukemia,” said attendant physician Dr. Henry Pym, an expert in the field of radioactive-insect-induced cancers. “This ripped through young Peter’s body almost overnight, affecting his reflexes, destroying his coordination, sapping his strength and scrambling his senses to the point where almost all the boy could detect was a constant tingling. It’s almost as if this hyper-irradiated cancer had the proportionate strength and speed of a spider.”
Parker’s death marks the sixth atomic-accident fatality in the last month, arriving on the heels of Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Susan and John Storm all succumbing to cosmic rays during the maiden flight of Richards’ experimental rocket, and U.S. Department of Defense scientist Bruce Banner’s irradiation by the Gamma Bomb, a weapon of his own devising.
The Fantastic Four weren't the most interesting people, I'll give you that. There's only so much you can do with the rivalry between The Thing and Human Torch. So I wouldn't "love" what Marvel could do with them, per se, I just know Marvel Studios could do leagues better than Sony.
But if you're going to criticize the Fantastic Four for the improbable situation in which they gained their powers, then let's be fair: you're going to have to write off Spider Man too. Peter Parker got his "strength of a spider" from...a radioactive spider.

Magneto. Fantastic villain. Mephisto. Pretty decent. Galactus. Dr. Doom. Both solid. Juggernaught, Stryfe, the brood, dark Phoenix....plenty of good material.
Only thing DC has is Batman and SOME of his villainous lineup. Which is why it's been rebooted 15 times.
Stan Lee got better with villians when he got x-men up and going because like I said, the dynamic was less black and white. Good guys doing good because they are good guys and bad guys doing bad simply because they are bad. x-men cut through all that and made the conflicts more real.
DC had superheros fighting for their city. Made it more fun of a read than reading about constantly having to fend off a guy who eats planets. Then DC started getting more fantastical and created bizarro world and interplanetary travel stuff with green lantern. Not as interesting IMO.
