[video=youtube;IwfUnkBfdZ4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwfUnkBfdZ4[/video] I am a huge Marvel Fan but that does not mean I am a fan of DC so before I watched it I thought that It could go both ways at one hand it be cool to see a justice league prequel but on the other.......Ben Affleck as batman.... anyway after I watch it I kind of have the same opinion but it is lingering near the margin where I might go to this movie and this is why. 1) superman is feared (rightly so after Man of steel and how he destroyed Metropolis) 2) The "False God" is interesting, perhaps some religious ties? People start worshiping Superman out of fear? (scene with swat kneeling) Other religions acting out in spite. 3) Batmobile! 4) Batman with supposed rifle! (Dark nights return comic) 5)Batman in electronic suite! Perhaps equals the strengths of superman?
To quote Raiden from Mortal Kombat, "never lose hope!". I'm betting they are pulling a "hero rises from the ashes" things, so Superman starts hated but ends being loved by the populace.
Oh, I won't. After all, how could I lose something I never had? I'm not worried about Superman, the character. I'm worried about the movie, although "worried" is probably a bit of a misnomer as that would imply that I care about what the movie will be about, but just based on what the trailer has shown us, I can't say I do, at least at this moment. Like I said, it just doesn't look interesting to me. But who knows? Maybe a later trailer will change that.
I want this to go full-blown dark hero-murders-another-hero on us, but I doubt they'd ever kill off such a notorious character in a mainstream film. Probably Batman and Superman will fight each other before realizing that there's some third threat, and then they'll team up. That's how it's always happened before.
Why is it always that way? Why does everyone want all superhero movies to be dark and gritty? Has any of these people read "Astro City"? "Tom Strong"? "Flex Mentallo"? "Empowered"? The best comics are the one who RECONSTRUCT superheroes, not the ones who deconstruct them. Superhero reconstruction gave us Alan Moore's run on "Supreme". You know what superhero deconstruction got us? Shallow, immature titles like "Youngblood", "Wild Cats", "Law and Order", "Evangelyne", "Glory", "Nighthawk", and the original Rob Liefeld run on "Supreme". I just want a movie that can be serious while still having a clear-cut battle beteeen good and evil, a hero with a strong moral code, and heroes fighting the villains instead of fighting each other. That's why I'll always rate "The Incredibles" higher than whatever Nolan ripoff Holywood coughs up.
I would never say I hope they kill eachother~ I hope batman kills superman they'd never do that of course so meh.
I actually think that any form of deep reconstruction of a concept includes deconstruction of that same concept; otherwise, what you have is not a reconstruction but an imitation, which is an altogether different sort of appeal to the viewership.
