I love Gambit, don't care much for Tatum but whatever. Wonder what his accent sounds like appearently he's been working on it for a while.
I didn't mind ORIGINS all that much, I thought Weapon X was lame and the ending battle kind of weak. If he has swords in his arms how does he bend them? I would have rather seen him with his swords I guess.

X-men DOTP should be good probably superior to ASM 2

I think Spiderman 2 is still the bar for superhero movies.

Spider-Man 2 is a poor film, just like the rest of the Spider-Man films. With the exception of the two Fantastic Four films, the Spider-Man films are at the bottom of the heap when it comes ot the major comic book franchises.

I want to rewatch the Raimi films. I really liked James Franco in the role of Harry Osborn though. I mean Dane DeHane wasn't bad but he didn't get that much of a chance to fill out the role. I liked that the Raimi films actually gave him time to develop. That was good.

I really stepped into the world of DC this weekend watching a handful of cartoon movies;
JUSTICE LEAGUE THE NEW FRONTIER (2008)
JUSTICE LEAGUE CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS (2010)
SUPERMAN BATMAN APOCALYPSE (2010)
JUSTICE LEAGUE DOOM (2012)
JUSTICE LEAGUE WAR (2014)
It leaves me with a few things to wonder about like how they are going to do the MAN OF STEEL sequel and the Justice League follow-up. As I'm sure everyone is thinking.
Are they going to introduce both the Flash and the Green Lantern in the Justice League film?
Will one of those characters origin story be told in the Justice League film?
Something that came to mind; Could Dwayne Johnson be playing Darkside? Will he be involved in the Justice League film?

I don't think individual superhero is needed for each member of JL.........i sure most people already know who they are......
For Batman/Superman movie..........I hoping there is a glispse of the watchtower that would set the stage for the justice league movie
@Skyfall I think JL and Flash could be introduce as heroes that decide to join with batman/superman......I don't think a origin story is needed as most fans will know whoever they are from comic and the animated series.

the Man of Steel sequel has a name! http://www.ign.com/a...dawn-of-justice
To save some of you from reading the article if you aren't interested the new title is Dawn of Justice.

Looks to me like "Dawn of Justice" is the film's sub-title, or whatever they call the title that comes after the colon, with the full title being Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Not that there was any doubt before, but the new title really drives home the point that they're using this film to launch the Justice League.

I think the title just spoiled the film. I mean if it is 'VS' and not Sups 'and' Batman then I guess this means they'll be fighting each other till the end of the film and not just half of the film and teaming up for the other half.
I think it's a clever title but I don't like it. Although I also thought it would be cool if it was called MAN OF STEEL AND THE DARK KNIGHT however I'm guessing they don't want it to sound like it is associate with the Nolan trilogy. I feel bad for Henry Cavill cause it's almost like everyone's trying to step into his spotlight and his franchise lol. I know I know this was the plan all along.
Why not just Batman vs. Superman? I don't know, maybe it will grow on me. And why just the 'v' for versus? That's what I'm really curious about.... I've never seen that before only 'vs'.

I don't like the versus title either.
Also I'm not sure if I posted but Cyborg has been cast. http://variety.com/2...her-1201163390/

I like the Batman v Superman part of the title. The Dawn of Justice add-on is pretty lame, though. Just call it Batman v Superman and be done with it.

DC are going for one big Marvel approach like 'Captain America: The First Avenger' - drop in the title of what will be; one big tease for the Justice League being formed at the end of this film, or the seeds being planted anyway.
I am a little miffed for 2 reasons. Not very important, but just my personal gripes:
1) I hoped this would retain the 'Man Of Steel' sequel we were promised, so now it's NOT the sequel Cavill deserves to headline? So is this pretty much Affleck's Batman film now, as we've had the Superman intro...?
2) The 'Vs' or 'V' thing....why do they have be versus each other? Superman would win over Batman anyway, and if we're getting a film with them at war with other until the final 20minutes, I hope it won't be a wasted chance as they wont actually work together very much in this one; saving that for the Justice League.
STILL - I am excited we have a title, which I know will grow on me, and the logo does the job perfectly to incorporate Batman and Superman in one image.

I was hoping for a stand-alone sequel to "Man of Steel", too. Then I warmed to the idea of getting a new (and older) Batman in the mix. To have him in first place (since he is the more consistent earner) makes sense but changes the dynamic of the film, of course. Still, I don´t think they will shortchange Superman in this. The "vs."-idea, well, that was already happening in the comics, and it does not leave any suspense - so why are they doing it? Maybe they really have thought out an interesting story here? Hope so.
When I read the new title, at first, I thought it would only be "Dawn of Justice". Which would have been fine with me. To attach it to "Batman vs. Superman" is, well, a bit unnecessary for my taste. But WB definitely wants to push the upcoming Justice League movie, therefore it shoves so many of its members in this film. Good move? Ask Sony...
Let me be honest here: I love the Superman character. For me, he will always be my first and favorite comic book hero. Batman is a close second. To get them both in a film, well, it still excites me. And I came to appreciate Zack Snyder´s "Man of Steel" on a second viewing much more. I actually love that film now. So I believe he can pull this off.
But to force this film to be a springboard for the "Justice League" movie remains dangerous. Obviously, they will try to set up a situation in which the human being (Batman) considers the alien (Superman) a threat - and vice versa. But then a situation will arise in which both realize that they have to combine forces because they want the same thing: save human kind. Also, Batman will find out that Superman is not the only alien on earth (or the only one with supernatural powers). That´s where all the other members of the future Justice League will come in. Together they will fight an extraterrestrial villain (who might join forces with Lex Luthor), and at the end of the movie they will get ready for a much bigger attack in the next film.
Whoops. My blabberings seem to have uncovered a very predictable plot, something that "The Avengers" already have done (and will be doing again)...

It's interesting to see how Affleck will play Bruce Wayne as the only hero with no general super powers except his brains and gadgetry up with the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman and whoever else. That could prove to be an interesting story arc as to what he can provide to the Justice League and how he feels about being part of a wider team when the idea of Batman, in general film lore, was that he preferred to work alone (he even resented Robin for most part).

I am expecting at the end of batman/superman he turns down the offer to join the JL but he will return when there is a threat......
I think we can expect him to have the watchtower build but he leaves because he likes to work alone

I am actually most excited to see Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. We haven't had a Wonder Woman movie yet. I did a google search about her and she was in the military? The Israel Defense Forces. How cool is that? Plus she is 5'9 and isn't Wonder Woman supposed to be tall? Plus she is going through a lot of training for this role. Apparently she is fencing and learning martial arts. I think people who hate on her need to give her a break. She does look like she has the look of Wonder Woman.

I sure special effect could make her look taller and I think the hater need to be patience and see what happen before judging beforehand........there is more hate for Ben Affleck but I doubt people will boycott the film as it a superman/batman film .

I don't think he was using "haters" in that way. I think he was saying that people who hate on the actress who plays Wonder Woman should calm down a bit. It's so easy to hate on other people before we see what's going on. Therefore, I am not hating on anyone who's being cast. I want to see a trailer first! Which won't be for a while which is fine.

In others news, X-Men: Days Of Future turned out to be pretty damn fantastic. Was completely blown away by it. Definitely one of the top five superhero/ comic book films ever made.
