Sounds interesting. Not sure how much I am going to be on board with DC/WB lighting the mood up, but we'll see. Hopefully they don't go significantly lighter to where it's essentially a full on Marvel-like approach to the material, cause I kinda like having the distinguishable differences in tone and flavor between said universes, but if they do I can't say I blame DC/WB. It's business, that's what sells.

Blind sheep: "OMG, the Batmobile STILL has guns, Snyder's a hack, LOLOLOL!!!"

Me: "So I gather you complained when Burton and Nolan showed Batman driving vehicles armed with guns too, then?"

Blind sheep: "Um....":(

Me: "Oh you didn't, eh? Then you can shut right up."  >:(
Me: Guns that he used to brutally with malice of forethought murder people.

Illogical Fan: But they have guns too and context, meaning, intention and purpose don't matter at all!

Me: That is literally the opposite of truth.

Illogical Fan: *Silence*

Have a very great day you and everyone!

God bless you! God bless everyone!

Do you get a stiffy from antagonizing him?

I'm happy about the direction for several reasons. One - the antisocial man *has* to socialise with people in order to assemble a team, given he's afraid of the oncoming storm. He also has to deal with some hyperactive personalities. That will be both interesting and fun to see. Two - It seems like a logical progression following BvS, where Bruce is more optimistic about the future, and states metahumans will have to come together. And three - it was the original intent for Justice League to be lighter in tone in comparison to BvS. But they've obviously embraced that vibe. Which is okay with me. The scene description involving Bruce Wayne and The Flash was *exactly* the sort of fun I expected.

Lots of interesting details to chew on

I just don't like someone commenting against people like he does and making statements not based in facts and rejecting context and intention. Have a very great day you and everyone!

Facts are, Batman was trying to reclaim a sense of control in BvS. Once Bruce saved the orphan and saw Zod and Superman flying overhead, he changed. He lashed out at the world. Facts are, he's not in that mindset any more. He realises metahumans like Superman need to be recruited, not fought. The synopsis for Justice League says so, too. I find it bizarre people are saying they're finally 'righting the ship' when it's just the logical progression of a character arc. People grow with time, and that's the case for Bruce here.

I'm afraid the type of people who refuse to acknowledge Batman's redemption as part of his character arc in BvS are simply too narrow-minded, and never wanted to give the film a chance to begin with. If Batman doesn't ever kill again for the remainder of the DCEU, they'd credit themselves "for making their voices heard"...without realising that was implied when Batman decided not to brand Led in the end.

People can criticise the film all they want, but I can't understand how anyone could complain about the idea behind Batman's progression into this series so far.
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.

I'm sure others know that. That doesn't change any of the issues people have with it or the lack of validity people see in the change from both ends. People know what the arc is. They just don't think it fits the character or is well done. But TLF is making more statements while ignoring context and intention. Have a very great day both of you and everyone!

God bless you both! God bless everyone!

There's talk that Batman's suit in this one will actually be slightly different from BvS/Suicide Squad in that it'll have more of a "blue hue."

QuoteThe first suit's major changes come from the color and armoring. The suit sports the same logo across the chest but sees a change from the completely gray tone seen in Batman v Superman. The suit actually has a significant blue tone to it. It's not overwhelming and still has a darker, gray look to it, but the suit seen in some of Batman's older comics is definitely starting to shine through with the color scheme.

BvS already gave us the most comic accurate Batsuit, but could they actually be tackling the blue and gray look?

And could it be that the explanation behind this injection of blue...is that it's Bruce's way to pay tribute to the colors of the fallen Superman?

I've gotta say, if I'm right, this may be the best explanation for the "blue" Batman I've heard yet as it's now representative of Bruce's guilt and respect for Clark, as well as his own desire to become more of a hero...
That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...

I thought his suit in BvS was perfect (except the logo) but if they break out the blue, might be even better
