**Update: Apparently that wasn't the Suicide Squad trailer - DC is holding it back for some reason - fine see if I post it when it comes out - whenever. I could care less about it. Big day though for DC and Warner Bros' other tent pole at Comic-Con as they release their BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE trailer. Now THAT looks like a movie!
BvS looks amazing. The trailer knocked it out of the park and while I have issues with Batman's "attire" the whole thing resonates with raw emotion and energy. I won't spoil it for you but have a look.
BATMAN v SUPERMAN opens on March 25, 2016 while SUICIDE SQUAD is slated for August 5, 2016 - that is if they decide to show to the public instead of just comic-con attendees squeezed into a box.
Certainly looks like it. Check the trailer for BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and take a look at the image - you'll see "Afrodite" scrawled in graffiti on a pillar. I saw it immediately but I wanted to scan the rest of the graffiti first before posting on it. DC seems to love using this medium to plant eggs - I found something similar back in July of last year and I still think Gentleman Ghost will be in this thing or soon (yes I know some may think the initials LF are for Lucius Fox - the gadget guy for Batman; but I don't agree. Why have his initials on a roof vent? Doesn't make sense. Looking For Ghost does makes sense).
Back to the teaser trailer. It's not bad, but they are biting off a LOT for this movie. They are ushering in a new era of Batman, while continuing the story of Superman and probably doing some Aquaman and Wonder Woman origins (Afrodite is a sub-character in her universe - she gives her the gift of beauty. This however opens the door to have other beings bearing gifts as well: Demeter (strength), Athena (wisdom), Hermes (scarves... errr speed and flight), Artemis (eyes of the hunter) and Hestia (truth). It's a lot to effectively convey in one movie for DC. Marvel is used to this kind of thing and have proven themselves. I'm worried that DC can't pull it off effectively.
The movie definitely seems very dark which will set it apart from the Marvel formula, clearly. Personally I believe DC should have went with native 3D for their productions to further classify themselves as innovators and seeking the best for their audience; not followers.
Still all things being said, this is a VERY interesting movie and could be the start of something amazing. Can't wait to see Jason Momoa as Aquaman. Perfectly cast.
BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE opens on March 25, 2016.
A couple of new shots of the Batmobile have emerged from the set of BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and they don't disappoint. "Batwing" doors, a satisfying wedge design, and clearly rugged engineering makes it look like Batman is ready for WWIII. I guess you'd have to be ready if you were staring down Supes.
BvS features some big names and outside of Henry Cavill (Superman) and Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot is joining on as Wonder Woman, and supposedly Jason Mamoa (Aquaman) and Ray Fisher (Cyborg) are in there too. Mix in Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane and Holly Hunter and the movie has bank in more ways than one.
There's a lot riding on this movie for DC and Warner Bros. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is breaking "superhero origin" movie records and actually has already topped MAN OF STEEL domestically for that box office crown.
BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE opens on March 25, 2016, unless of course Marvel decides to open another movie then. ;-) JOKING! ...kinda...
