In the newly released clip from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Superman is looking mighty miffed. What did Batman do?
I’m not sure how I feel about this clip. The mopey, sour faces of the Batman v Superman trailers thus far have done nothing for me other than fuel my concern over DC’s insistence on making these films dark. Just look at this clip. Superman looks like a thug. I miss the Clark Kent innocence and Boy Scout optimism of Christopher Reeves’ Superman. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still anxious to see this movie, just cautiously so.
I’m a big fan of Miller’s stark Dark Knight comics, but this isn’t an adaptation of that series. Here, my concern lies in the world-building above anything else. If this is the world in which all of the upcoming DC films are set, then we have a few years of gloomy superhero films ahead of us. I’d love to see a Justice League Dark movie, but not a dark Justice League movie.
The worldwide debut of the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer will air during Jimmy Kimmel Live this Wednesday, December 2nd at 11:35 / 10:35.
I wonder why DC doing this? These are not the superheroes I grew up with. I guess they want to appeal to the Kardashian generation. It’s all money. Look what they did with Batman. I saw the first one long time ago and walked out of the theater on the second. I refuse to see all the rest of the trash.
They are also doing this on TV. Look at Arrow, a crazed, maniacal individual that is both the accuser, judge, and executioner.
May be a dream sequence.
Yes, it’s a dream sequence.
Sort of a “Batman’s worst-case-scenario” sequence… humanity serving the will of a superhuman, godlike alien.
It’s not even the full trailer. The full trailer will be out today.
Could always be Bizzaro
