I don't think its a conspiracy. People are just shit to each other wall to wall. Let's just stop blowing each other up for like 5 minutes.

The movies follow their own made up canon, right? If so, then anything parallels we draw from the comics in regards to storylines relating to movie is probably going to be incorrect.


I really don't understand why there is a young Lex Luthor yet Batman is supposed to be older (late 30s, 40s?). That really shits on the lore.

Are Bruce and Supe supposed to be the same age? I guess its possible that Wayne is 5-10 years older than Kent. No clue, though.

Pretty much. It varies based on franchise, iterations, etc. As far as I know (not an expert at all obvs) the two Burton films were in the same universe. Kilmers and Clooneys are probably the same universe (not sure though). The diff Bruce Waynes throw me off but I think they use the same Robin.

Nolans are obviously the same.

I have no idea about this one, though. If I had to guess Id say different universe than the Nolan films. I didn't finish DK Rises. Didn't Bruce die at the end or some shit?

I think they were inspired by Jim Lee's Batman, too. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Lee's was inspired by Miller. But the crest is far more Frank Miller to me.

I'm sure Affleck will be fine.  The main reason why this movie will probably be shit is the people making it.

This. Also, I'm fairly sure that Affleck's Batman is supposed to be an older, already-established Batman. That's what I've been hearing, at least. I like the idea of Ben Affleck as an older Batman.

Well.. it is based on Frank Miller's batman.

No it's not.
“If you were going to do that, you would need a different Superman. We’re bringing Batman into the universe that now this Superman lives in.”

I'm fairly certain it's supposed to be a younger Batman. Although, I would like an adaption of Frank Miller's Dark Knight, I doubt Snyder would be able to pull it off successfully. I think Batman vs. Superman is Snyder's own retarded creation. Also, they've cast Jesse Eisenberg to play a young Lex Luthor. That wouldn't make much sense if Batman was older, unless time travel was involved.

I think he means its based on Miller's design (which is obvious that it was at the very least inspired by it, the Bat symbol on the chest proves that) not that its an adaptation of DKR.

Its definitely not an adaptation. But I don't think anyone's said that. Its just that design was inspired by it.

And as far as old/young Batman. I have no idea. Afflecks in his 40s though. How old is Batman when he starts out canonically? I could see it going either way.

Affleck is gonna have to munch some roids to get that big, Batman is gigantic in that picture.

Affleck was jacked in "The Town".  It won't be that hard to get back there, he is a big dude.

Thats the one.

Also here's another recolored pic with a black palette.

Someone added a touch of color. God I would love for it to be like this. But of course itll just be boring ol' jet black again.

That's too cool.

I've always loved the blue/gray Batman designs. Something about it, idk.

Supposedly he's been putting on a good amount of bulk. He's pretty cut in that last movie he wrote I think.

Incorrect. Ben Affleck's kryptonite is doing movie's that do not take place in Boston. He will be terrible.

qft, except I'd change it to "movies that he is not writing or directing". Pretty much everything he did with Matt Damon was really good...but most of those were in Boston...so point still holds.

I don't know. Affleck kinda looks like a Bruce Wayne. Is it just me?

No, he does.

Its just...all I see is his character from Good Will Hunting when I look at him. I think Keaton played the best Batman, imo. But Bale was probably the better Bruce Wayne. Affleck does look like a billionaire playboy. But he doesn't look a billionaire playboy turned grievous vigilante cloaked in darkness. Bale did, though.

Except Ben Affleck's Batman is not 55 years old.

Even though this movie should be based on The Dark Knight Returns, but it isn't. This is just some BS the writers are pulling out of their ass and showcases the first time Batman and Superman run into each other. Is Batman even going to be a main character in this film? I doubt it considering it's tentatively titled "Man of Steel sequel" right now..

Wikipedia lists it as "Untitled Batman/Superman" and IMDB has it as "Batman vs Superman".

I think I read somewhere that they were drawing Batmans aesthetic from DKR, and I can see that, just, as you said...a touch younger.

Yes, but it is a sequel to Man of Steel and is part of a Superman triology directed by Zack Synder. Superman will be the main focus of the film. I think it was actually titled "Man of Steel 2" at some point. I think they just changed the title to generate hype.

I'm still not sold on Batfleck. Wish they'd just get no-name actors that look the part more.

They're obviously heading towards a Justice League movie.

Justice League is already listed as being worked on by Snyder.

His outfit looks acceptable especially considering that this is an early years Batman, at least I'm assuming that is the case.

But the suit is not the actor.


Hopefully they'll tie in Dare Devil as well and explain how he can be both at the same time.  ???
Why would they? Daredevil is a Marvel character.

Also, Frank Miller can't draw for shit.

I like Miller's illustrations a lot. Very unique. I'd much rather this

than something like
.
The former just has so much more character to me.

At least he's not an anachronism.

I...kind of like it. Reminds me of Frank Miller's.

Battlestar Galactica is not so good. You know, all the crazy monsters and stuff...you know like Klingons...and Wookies...and all that but...

Its not just similar to the original Battlestar Galactica, its basically a shot-for-shot remake. The story's kind of bland, its about this guy named Dumbledore and the tower he's in and he has to return this ring.

Yeah, this'll probably get $60 out of me because of the nostalgia..

They retail at 39.99...are you buying half a game? :P

Australia.

Shit, I feel stupid, now.

You should feel stupid for not knowing a random forumgoers nationality.

They'll probably sell it for something like $76, $60 is more of a good deal. And you can't import it because Nintendo region locked the 2DS.

I don't feel stupid for that reason. I feel stupid for automatically assuming you were American. Its all good!
