'Batman v Superman' isn't off to the best start: a pair of Change.org petitions have already surfaced, and they're demanding that Warner Bros. remove Zack Snyder from his future DC projects.

After three years of absolutely ridiculous amounts of hype, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is easily one of the biggest film debuts of the year so far ... unfortunately, the movie's early press screenings and reviews haven't exactly been great.

Despite Warner Bros.' all-consuming marketing blitz, the film just isn't going over well with critics: whether it's the focus on existential drama as opposed to actual superhero action or the grim, overly-serious tone of the movie, Batman v Superman isn't the epic, awe-inspiring superhero flick that some thought it would be.

Fans are, somewhat predictably, taking it pretty hard. Some fans are blaming Warner Bros., others are blaming DC Comics ... but most seem to be focusing their frustrations on director Zack Snyder. Between Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, Snyder's take on the publisher's most iconic heroes hasn't exactly gone over well with fans — as a result, two separate Change.org petitions have appeared online, demanding that Warner Bros. remove Zack Snyder from the DC Cinematic Universe before it's too late.

While the two petitions are unrelated, they're both asking for the same thing: Zack Snyder's removal from DC's Cinematic Universe and future film prospects. The first petition calls Snyder's films "middling," and proposes that DC find a director whose projects won't be so divisive:

"Even if you loved Man of Steel and BvS. There has to come a time when WB and DC want someone at the helm that can create something that WON'T divide people in such a way. The building blocks are there for a great different set of superhero movies ... Zack Snyder is just not the guy that should be in charge of the biggest and most important films in the franchise."

The second petition doesn't really have an argument to speak of, save that Snyder has supposedly ruined all of DC's plans before they even got off the ground:

"This guy has already doomed the franchise with two critical flops in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman. He's a great visual artist, but cannot tell a good story. The only chance of redemption for DCEU is to hire a director who's not as polarizing as Snyder, who understands the characters well, doesn't make them roam away from their mythos and balance the tone of the future movies."

:lol:

I think wondering about why Superman casket was empty and how his body got to Smallville is nit picking. I don't know what was the explanation for Clark Kent missing in the death of Superman story but there are much bigger plot holes to be concerned about. Just my 2 cents.

I do agree... I was just piggybacking on the earlier discussion on the casket.

There wasn't any cameras or reporters. Clark Kent was and is a nobody. Kent's funeral or at least the burial was very small. So it's not Bruce couldn't have gotten around unnoticed.

Clark Kent being a nobody is exactly why them being there stands out!

You don't think people in that small town don't know who they are? And if Smallville residents don't know then Lous Lane DEFINITELY knows who they are and they wouldn't have gone unnoticed fully because she would have been like WTF ARE THEY DOING HERE AT CLARK'S FUNERAL?

I don't have a problem with the scene, i just think it should have been filmed with them in Metropolis instead of Smallville.

shit where do i sign LOL!
 
Plotholes galor...Super Lois, too much given away in commercials...shakey cam (which I hate)...

But shyt, I liked it. Wanted to see more of Flash, Aquaman but they setting them up for the future.

I'm surprised they opened this on Easter weekend. It's not a movie weekend, it's a "family/travel" weekend. Maybe they think that this week being spring break will pull in numbers I don't know.

Are you really debating how Batman (a
Master of Stealth :yes:).... who is known to slip by entire Mobs of Criminals (even in their own hideouts) who are ACTIVELY looking to kill his ass.... can get to a small-ass funeral service...held in the middle of nowhere...without being seen??? :dunno:

Really??

:smh::smh:
 
Batman was totally unnecessary.
Should've had Lex fight superman in an armoured suit instead.
Maybe have Batman and superman meet at the end
And maybe at the end credits you introduce doomsday which leads into justice league.
Then if you want to kill superman you can in the justice league movie.

Snyder On What We'll See In The BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE R-Rated "Ultimate Cut"

As we know, an R-rated extended edition ofBatman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is heading to Blu-ray, and Snyder outlines some of the extra stuff we'll be seeing during an interview with Collider...
132523.jpg
A longer, more adult-orientated cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice will be with us later in the year, and now thanks to director Zack Snyder we have a slightly better idea of what to expect.

Snyder tells Collider that he refers to it as the "Ultimate Cut", because it's a much "deeper dive" into the world of the DCEU that we find ourselves immersed in in the film. Originally his vision ran even longer than the theatrical 2 and half hours, so this was his chance to restore some of content he was persuaded (forced?) to remove.

All of that is fine and good, but fans really want to know about this extra violence that warrants the R rating!

"There’s a little bit of action, there’s a little bit of violence that we trimmed out for the MPAA that we put back. The Batman warehouse rescue, there’s a couple shots of Doomsday that were too intense. Then there’s a little bit longer ending, sort of the ending sequence, and the opening of the movie, the North Africa sequence is really much different.”

It will be interesting to see if any of the addition scenes make the movie flow better as a whole, and explain/flesh out some of the more... glossed over plot points

So will we see Amy Adam's nipps in this version.

In the bathtub scene, I found myself looking harder than I expected
:lol:

They wouldn't have a casket at his 'memorial' if Superman was just an unknown 'stock boy', who worked at the local Walmart. But Superman was a worldwide Icon, so yeah, they threw a city-wide parade and put some MONEY into the 'production' of the whole thing.

It's like the difference between a band playing at a local talent show... And the same band playing at halftime during the Super Bowl.

One show is gonna have a lot MORE shit in it. That's just common sense.

Hence, notice the drastic difference between Superman's funeral services... And Clark Kent's funeral services. Superman gets a big-ass statue and a custom-made casket / or headstone.

Clark Kent gets a (non-descript) pine box.



Lastly, miss me with your bullshit. :hmm:

As I stated earlier... notice that the handwriting on the pay stubs and Robins suit is nearly IDENTICAL. :yes:

Plus I already admitted that I was wrong. :

So that's a 'minor' mistake to make compared to YOU thinking that Superman was being buried in Metropolis in a silver casket... then getting really upset that he actually WASN'T. And trying to make it seem like everybody else was just as confused as YOU were about the whole funeral scene. :rolleyes:

FOH. :hmm: That's retarded.
Click to expand...

Nigga you dumb and will feed anything these hollywood executives give you. I think critically and QUESTION everything, especially movies that include characters I care about. I KNOW Superman/Kent was really buried at his home in Smallville; what im saying it's fucking stupid that they would even have a casket and not build another monument, and how popular was Supes in Metropolis anyway after 18 fucking months? It be different if he had a few movies where he fought Brainiac or exposed Lex as a criminal in a few sequels and established himself as the hero of Metropolis, but OH NO. Still Kent can't go back to the Daily Planet can he? The only way they can save this franchise is to pull some Crisis on infinite Earth shit.

I agree, there is plenty of shit wrong in this movie to talk about. MUCH bigger plot holes to worry about.

Maybe you didn't read 3-4 pages ago. A lot of discussions happened already to reach this point.

And btw, if you don't want to be quoted... Don't post on a 'message board'. :hmm:

Keep your thoughts to yourself. :hmm:
 
 
I love how this entire thread turned into a 14 page rant on the many many many flaws with this movie. It really is a beautiful thing to see this board come together to talk about this bullshit.
 
‘Batman v Superman’ Deleted Scene Teases Darkseid & the New Gods





NEzIWrZHcJs6DD_2_b.jpg





Fans usually have to wait months after a movie's release in theaters to check out the deleted scenes on the Blu-ray and DVD. But today, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice fans are getting a surprise treat. The official Warner Bros. YouTube page has posted a new video entitledCommunion, which is a deleted scene from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that showcases more of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. While this scene shows how this villain was finally apprehended, it also raises new questions as well. If you haven't seen Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice yet, there will be SPOILERS below, so read on at your own risk.


In the theatrical cut, we see Lex entering the crashed Kryptonian ship where he starts to create Doomsday. But we don't see him again until after he is eventually apprehended and thrown in prison. This scene showcases a number of soldiers entering the crashed Kryptonian ship whereLex Luthor had set up shop to create Doomsday. We see these soldiers advance on Lex, who is using the Kryptonian technology to create some sort of creature, who is seen holding what appear to be Mother Boxes. This technology from Darkseid's Apokolips is also used to turn Victor Stone (Ray Fisher) into Cyborg. It's possible that this creature is actually one of the New Gods, with some speculating that it could be Steppenwolf.

Steppenwolf was created by Jack Kirby, debuting in the 1972 comic New Gods #7. Steppenwolf was one of highest-ranking generals on the planet of Apokolips, and he was actually an uncle to the nefarious Darkseid, as well as his mentor. It hasn't been confirmed if this mystery creature is actually Steppenwolf, or if we'll see more of him in Justice League Part 1, which starts production next month in the U.K. If it is Steppenwolf, though, it could open up some interesting avenues for the DCEU to explore.

Of course, Lex is eventually apprehended, so we don't know what his plans for this creature may be, or how he may or may not fit into the upcoming Justice League Part 1. It's possible that this creature could be a crude version of the iconic villain Darkseid himself, whose presence was teased in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice during one of Bruce Wayne's nightmares, where he sees a destroyed landscape with Darkseid's Omega symbol implanted in the ground. Perhaps there will be another deleted scene on the Blu-ray and DVD release that will give this mysterious sequence more context.

Last week, we reported that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be getting an R-rated Ultimate Edition, which will be released on July 16 and can already be pre-ordered on Amazon. We don't have many specific details for the R-rated cut yet, but director Zack Snyder recently confirmed that fans will get to see more of Jimmy Olsen. This character was played by Michael Cassidy, although he was killed off rather quickly after it was discovered that he was a CIA agent, while on assignment with Lois Lane (Amy Adams) in Africa.

It definitely isn't a common practice of studios to release deleted scenes just days after a huge movie like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is released in theaters, but perhaps Warner Bros. is trying to shake things up a bit. We don't know if the studio intends to release more previously-unseen footage or not, but we'll have to wait and see. While we wait for more on the R-rated Ultimate Edition, check out this deleted scene below, featuring Lex Luthor.

Yeah, I think it's time for ol' Zack to step down. Like others have said, he can stay on as a cinematographer or in some sense with visuals, but he's going to have to give up that director's chair.

When he killed off Jimmy Olsen, for no reason other than he said "Because I can" shows he's not getting the big picture.
 
I'm dead serious that they are making it up as they go... Why would you release a deleted scene from the Movie to get people to pre-order the R-Rated version when you just released the movie last weekend.




And what in all of the fucks is going in here. Are those motherboxes in dudes hand.
Is Lex still in the ship? I know Supes just died, but did they just leave Lex in the same ship where he just freaking created the monster that took all your shit to destroy.


More Questions here...

Yes they are. They know that huge drop off is coming, so might as well get the hype for the home blu ray up to get those sales rolling.
 
At least this scene... does kind of explain why he was bat shit crazy and why he screaming of things coming.


See the importance of 1 fucking scene. 1 Scene erased 5 fucking questions.

Superman returns was just a terrible film with a bad premise. Superman never even threw a single punch in that film. I was glad they rebooted it. I never liked the ideal of Superman having a son.
