I was looking forward to this, but based on the trailer it looks like a CW show trying too hard to be a Marvel Netflix show. That "eff Batman" line screams adolescent edgelord. A very disappointing preview IMO.

I think the only elements that seem particularly like parody/deliberate parody are Batman saying "Good night" to a thug after punching him through something, having his credit card and Robin being frozen in place after having a kiss blown and Batman carrying him off. Maybe Batman and Robin using doors as air-gliders and having skates on their boots (and how matter-of-factly they activate them) and Poison Ivy coming out of a gorilla. But the rest seems pretty much like trying to be a relatively to-be-taken serious action-adventure blockbuster, to follow and pretty much fit in with the predecessors, just very light and with more comic relief.

I think the very idea that any rational human being can go into a comic book movie and find contempt for the human body as an exploitative tool for the superhero experience is getting to the party a little late with little to no understanding of context. Those critics must live under a rock. I guess they find the cable series "Naked and Afraid" a more noble pursuit? I'm to the point of believing the "PC culture" is a result of ignorance born from the inability of some to understand concepts on a broad level.
Political correctness has indeed gone mad, but we shouldn't underestimate the other agendas at hand here. If there's anything the media has taught me over the years - last year more so - is people will do anything to slander a person or a brand for the sake of clicks.
For example, that pile of garbage website AV Club ran a headline claiming Snyder's live action adaptation of 300 was foreshadowing the rise of the alt-right. I don't like 300, but even I can see how that claim is ridiculous and baseless. Another example is a hack journalist for the Wall Street Journal who wrote an article painting a bad light on the whole fan movement supporting the release of Snyder's real vision of JL. This lead to Jay Oliva, who did storyboard work for the film, calling out the "journalist" for conveniently leaving out information he shared with him, which didn't support the article's agenda.

Maybe the extended cut will break enough ground for a better rating? I guess we'll see.
