Incorrect. It takes Nolan and Nicholson to make Batman not seem like a total joke. This is just regression to the mean.

I agree. But it's probably because Superman is tailor-made for younger audiences, while Batman has evolved to target the more mature ones, w/ serious story lines.

Thought this was supposed to be a Superman sequel?
Superman : Dawn of Justice would have been a little better. Looks like they're set on cashing in on the Batman name and hype that Nolan and co. left behind. So this is as close to a Batman reboot as u can get without doing an actual reboot. (fingers crossed)

The whole series has been trying to cash in on Nolan and Co.'s credibility mainly because most people know Zack Snyder's is shot. Without Nolan actually in the director's seat, it's all for naught.

Nolan's films, were Nolan's films. But he never characterized Batman correctly.
Sorry, but he was never a detective and he was never smart. Bale played a great billionaire playboy, but his Batman was sub-par. I actually think Ben is going to do a much better job of it.
Batman IS the character, not Bruce Wayne. Batman is where Bruce is most comfortable and happy and I always felt like it was the opposite in Nolan's universe. Too much Bruce Wayne, too much politicians and elitist party's... Never did Nolan portray Batman as smart badass, who uses his wits more than anything he has as a rich, socialite.
Here's hoping that Snyder does a better job of it. |

| Breaking Dawn of Justice would reach a wider demographic and stay in line with the quality of name they're apparently looking at. |

Break Dawn of Justice.
Sounds like a Twilight Part7: Edward/Bella takes no prisoners. |

I agree... it's one of Nolan's failures with his Batman franchise... that and that horrible 3rd film. still all in all, a good trilogy, but it just shows it's always how you end things that matters.

And completely disagree on the miscasting. She's perfect.

She can tie me up with her lasso anytime. Oh wait, she's carrying a sword now.
I saw some Justice League cartoon and wonder woman was as strong as Superman. And flies. What the heck?

For a role calling for a short, slim side character in an ensemble, sure. For Wonder Woman and the acting chops necessary to potentially start another franchise, a resounding no. |
She has the face but the the physique doesn't quite fit..little too frail. She's definitely not short though...5'9" is plenty tall to play WW. Prety big shoes to fill for those of us that grew up seeing Lynda Carter (yum). Lynda Carter is like Christopher Reeves in that sense. Visually they were the ideal for their roles.
They need to CGI a bigger rack on this chick. In any event, she looks WAY better in the costume than I would have thought. |

She's plenty built in that photo. Y'all just prejudiced because of the way she looked in the F&F franchise. Any more muscle and she'd start looking like a man. Movies = sell tickets =make money. Girls gotta look hot. And hardcore geeks can hate it but they'll still spend money to see it despite their keyboard warrior pride. |

Its her figure that makes her seem that way. Honestly, just not the right frame nor acting prowess to pull off Wonder Woman for more than in an ensemble movie.

Leaked teaser trailer footage from comic con out there. Won't be up for long though I'm guessing.
