Looks like IMDB and CBM were right for once.  We'll see how it pans out.
That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...


The TV spots have left me very optimistic about the film. It looks darn fun with all of that action. This is a Superman I can get behind. Hopefully they cast more heavyweight slogger-type villains in the sequel. Darkseid, Doomsday, Brainiac types where only Superman can fight them. And even then he struggles. This is what I'm interested in seeing.

Whether or not you like Zack Snyder's movies - and believe me I've never liked any films I've seen by him so far - the one thing you can always count on him doing right is making visually stunning pictures. The trend looks like it'll continue, but hopefully it will be the first film of his that I can say I will like.

And I find it comical that Superman appears in that hamburger commercial with this dreadful "No, please don't eat that, it's bad for your health!" look on his face.  :D
QuoteJonathan Nolan: He [Batman] has this one rule, as the Joker says in The Dark Knight. But he does wind up breaking it. Does he break it in the third film?

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

There's so many villains that could be brought in for sequels that would be absolutely outstanding to watch go to-to-toe against Superman (Bizarro, Parasite, Metallo), but yeah, I really want Brainiac for the followup. As it's really about time that character got a shot in appearing in a big budget live action movie, and there's just so much potential there. Having said that, Lex Luthor is another I have alot of interest in seeing how he could be introduced and presented in this franchise. Seeing Lexcorp FINALLY being brought in made me very pleased.

Cool.  I'm so jealous of you Ral.   :)  How did you get a press screening?  Through work or through the site?
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

Through the site, but with the help of other people I know.

Cool stuff, ral.

I know you have always been a Superman fan as well - so did you leave the showing satisfied in that regard?

By the way I have acquired the deluxe version of Zimmer's score. I'll give my thoughts on that later. Maybe even a review for the site. Who knows.

That would be cool.

I left the theatre very happy...and left wanting more.
