Superman is always holding back, fighting to the level of his competition. Batman throws everything he has and the kitchen sink at him. This evens the fight.

Or as shown in the injustice comics Batman takes the super pill and fights Superman on superman original power levelsand exposes superman's poor fighting technique

 

[DrBo42]

Lantern ring can do pretty much anything. The only reason they don't is cause the users all dumb as fuck. It's a case of the weapon being held back by the person. Of course then you have shit like Ion and that's just crazy.

Honestly the only thing I find interesting about them are how their personalities and background influence the constructs. Jon being an architect or was it engineer? Anyway his constructs are detailed down to the screws like a schematic. Or whoever the artist was that has more painterly or sketch-like constructs.

 

[ReiGun]

oh gosh. then fans will argue again like those stupid "oh goku is more powerful...no superman is..." that are basically time wasters. arguing for the sake of argument. i seriously cringe whenever fans take those things seriously. it's physically painful to read. "supes can just do this.." yeah then why bother making a movie if everything can be resolved by supes with the blink of an eye.

actually, scratch that. supes is so fast that the camera shouldn't even be able to follow his movements. he's so fast that as light is emitted from the diode of the television, he's already made 20 more moves that will then overlap with the traveling beam of light, hence everything becomes a blur we should'nt even be able to see henry cavill's face.

No offense man, but you seem to be the one taking it a little too seriously. lol

BatGod's prep time doesn't even come near to this shit.

It's ludicrous.

It seems that way till Batman beats Flash up cause "Planning!" or some shit. haha

It doesn't even the fight. Not even close. In TDKR, even with Kryptonite and power armor, Bruce got demolished. Clark barely broke a sweat

Ha

 

[demolitio]

Hope they're prepared for the inevitable jokes about Batman's voice again. SNL can probably reuse some of their skits.

 

[Stevetopsy]

Not a very good trailer IMO. It's all about Supes being worshipped and looking like he's enjoying it. Barely nothing of Bats, nothing of him in action in the suit so there's nothing to get a feel for in that department. From the trailer it looks like Supes is getting too cocky so Batman goes to try and beat the shit out of him to straighten things out. Definitely not the best trailer I've seen today.

Dat Neil Degrasse Tyson tho.

Teaser, not a trailer. There's a difference

 

[ReiGun]

Y'all know how the game go. First we get the short teasers that hardly show anything. Then we get a more substantial trailer with some light story beats. Then, a month before the movie launches, we get the trailer that basically tells us the entire film.

No that sounded good and affleck can actually act.

 

[industrian]

Even the iconic fight in Dark Knight Returns, which everyone likes to cite as an example to say "look how Batman could win", required Superman to be a complete moron and also forget half his powers.

Superman had just survived a nuclear bomb blast and was weak. Combined with being old, jaded, and probably holding back against his friend. Then he got hit by that kryptonite arrow.

lol no it doesn't. not by a long shot.

 

[UVG RAVEN]

Why would Superman and Batman fight? How could a mere human (yeah, he's a martial artist and a genius, and he's super rich) stand a chance against Superman? It's like Goku fighting Mr Satan In the Dragon Ball Z series! I'm sorry but this is stupid.

No amount of money or preparation is going to save you from a lightning punch.
If they followed the comics, Batman would be dead before he even finished his sentence and the movie would be over.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I had my doubts but it's looking promising, can't wait to see it next year!

Plus 501 clips that reveal the entire movie in 30 second to 1 minute chunks

my take on the trailer was...


supes getting angry because humans took supes existence as a bad thing. they accepted him and worshipped him but people started to fear him then they started to turn their backs on him. so little by little, supes becomes angry at how ungrateful humans are and how misunderstood he is.

 

[ReiGun]

One day, studios are just gonna release the entire film minus the last 30 minutes on youtube.

 

[Sheroking]

Superman had just survived a nuclear bomb blast and was weak. Combined with being old, jaded, and probably holding back against his friend. Then he got hit by that kryptonite arrow.

And Bruce could have shot him in the face in his sleep with a kryponite shell the night before.

No amount of money or preparation is going to save you from a lightning punch.

When you're one of the worlds richest people and one of the world's greatest engineering minds (and you live in a make-believe comic-book world), you can build armor that can tank that lightning punch.

Both of these characters are against killing as a general rule. They're not there to kill each other, they're there to beat each other.

 

[Game4life]

No.

Listen, Batman is awesome, but Superman stomps him in a half second in any situation.

Even the iconic fight in Dark Knight Returns, which everyone likes to cite as an example to say "look how Batman could win", required Superman to be a complete moron and also forget half his powers.

I dont get this. How come no one seems to complain or bat an eyelid about Iron man holding his own against hulk? What is it about Batman holding his own against Superman in a powerful armor suit that is different than iron man fighting hulk?

 

[shinobi602]

The thirst is real, dayum.

 

[BadAss2961]

It doesn't even the fight. Not even close. In TDKR, even with Kryptonite and power armor, Bruce got demolished. Clark barely broke a sweat

Tell that to Clark's face.

The fight is even in the way that Batman was able to trade blows with Superman. Superman could end it any time he wants to, but holds back -- the movie will be no different. He hurts Bruce, but refuses to finish him. That's why he gets stomped out at the end.

 

[Game4life]

The thirst is real, dayum.

Glorious day today! Bat power rules!

 

[More_Badass]

Superman had just survived a nuclear bomb blast and was weak. Combined with being old, jaded, and probably holding back against his friend. Then he got hit by that kryptonite arrow.

And even with all that, Supes was barely sweating and Bruce had broken bones and was exhausted by the end

 

[FeD.nL]

They took down the trailer. Is there anywhere I can watch it now?

Here is a link that worked just now

 

[Vampirolol]

This got me hyped. Hoping that Snyder became a good director meanwhile!

 

[Dan]

I have so little interest in seeing Batman and Superman fight. Arguing over tactics and goals? Absolutely. Brawling? *snooze*

 

[Sheroking]

And even with all that, Supes was barely sweating and Bruce had broken bones and was exhausted by the end

Supes had a broken face and was gasping for air in the end. Batman even tells him he could have had that dose altered to kill him.

Superman himself knows Batman possess the ability to kill him with kryponite at any time. That's why he gave Batman the kryptonite to begin with (although in TDKR, Kryptonite was a non-factor at that stage and Batman had to manufacture it IIRC).

 

[Dabanton]

Also that Bat voice is awesome.

It's fearsome enough but still understandable.

 

[EmptySpace]

supes fans can't take it and can't stand it.


maybe wb should rename the film as batman fans v superman fans.

 

[industrian]

And even with all that, Supes was barely sweating and Bruce had broken bones and was exhausted by the end

Batman choosing to fight Superman was simply to prove a point. Batman never expected to win. Hell, dying was part of his plan.

 

[Mariolee]

WHY DOES HE ASK IF HE'S GONNA TELL THE ANSWER ANYWAY.

Prep time.

 

[FeD.nL]

Watched it a couple of times. Looks pretty damn great, love what they are setting up and cannot wait for Irons´ Alfred.

 

[LaNaranja]

Looks really damn good. I am glad they appear to be addressing the bullshit that happened in Man of Steel. Dude was reckless and was personally responsible for a bunch of deaths (RIP 7-11 employees and customers). Batman should open a can of whoop-ass for all the shit Clark did. He should also call him a dumbass for not saving his dad.

 

[Bold One]

fucking hell, thats shaky,

will wait for the real thing,

Should have called it Batman Bin Superman though...

DC goofed on that one

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

In what way...


I'm okay with Alfred having a more involved role with Bruce's training, but I don't think it has to cancel out his more expressive compassion for Bruce. I didn't read Batman: Year One though, so maybe that's not what it's like.

Replied to PM.
Gotham Alfred is definitely my favorite all around at this time.

 

[guek]

Ironman did good against Thor

I thought so too until I went back and re-watched that scene. Thor was crumpling Tony's gauntlets and ragdolling him. It's pretty obvious he was holding back. Funny thing is this movie's matchup is probably even more one-sided

That is unless Bats has like...literal plot armor.

 

[EmptySpace]

And even with all that, Supes was barely sweating and Bruce had broken bones and was exhausted by the end

i have the book with me and supes got a bloody nose when bats hit him with sonic wave.


barely sweating? come on.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Love it.

 

[Htown]

1. Hulkbuster armors usually end up as scrap
2. Superman has more powers than the Hulk.

Let's not forget, while he's not the Flash, he does have super speed. That alone puts him out of Bruce's reach.

If they followed the ccomics, Batman wouldbe dead before he even finished his sentence and the movie would be over.

Yes, follow the Comics...Batman dead in a second, sure

 

[More_Badass]

Doesn't the Hulk usually win those fights?

I think Iron Man vs Hulk is more "plausible" since Tony has all kinds of defensive tech, can fly, has energy blasts for ranged combat. His suit is just on a whole other level compared to the TDKR suit

 

[The Cretan]

Yes, follow the Comics...Batman dead in a second, sure

That battle was fucking awesome.

 

[guek]

Yes, follow the Comics...Batman dead in a second, sure

Man, I hate Bat-god stuff. I'll take Batman - World's Greatest Detective any day of the week instead.

 

[LiquidSolid]

nerf...


the whole superman=strongest in the universe is possibly the stupidest, most boring shit ever anyway. whoever actually thought it was a good idea to make superman more powerful every single time a new comic issue comes out?

hopefully batman beats the shit out of superman in this movie, and that this movie doesn't get informed by the ridiculous "power levels" that superman was molded into by writers and fans.

SMH. Bitching and moaning about how Superman's too powerful is always a sign of someone who doesn't understand the character or superheroes in general. Because in reality, Batman's just as over-powered as Superman.

And really, who gives a shit how powerful he is? It doesn't matter. All Star Superman wouldn't have been a better story with a more grounded and limited 90's Superman.

Anyway, great trailer but that's Zac Snyder's speciality. Let's see him actually make an entertaining movie to go with it.

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

Ehhhh...

I need a official trailer, could hardly make out what was being said in the trailer. Also they showed very little of bat and superman, too dark...

Had this come before the super hero mayhem then it would be super hype, but seeing this now is was underwhelming.

 

[Fj0823]

That battle was fucking awesome.

Indeed it was.

 

[More_Badass]

i have the book with me and supes got a bloody nose when bats hit him with sonic wave.


barely sweating? come on.

Bruce says it himself. "Clark just broke a sweat"

Yes, follow the Comics...Batman dead in a second, sure

What comic do I have to read to check this fight out?

 

[wildfire]

I really thought the title was a fakeout and this would be a team up movie. I'm pleasantly surprised and apprehensive about how they will handle this. Batman can't literally take on Supes. This can only be a battle of ideologies.

 

[takriel]

When's the official trailer release due? Don't want to watch in that awful quality.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Looked alright. I have a feeling it will be corny like Batman and Robin.

 

[bananafactory]

I dont get this. How come no one seems to complain or bat an eyelid about Iron man holding his own against hulk? What is it about Batman holding his own against Superman in a powerful armor suit that is different than iron man fighting hulk?

Hulk is stronger but a fight between them is still plausible.

Superman is literally faster than a bullet, he could snap Batman's neck before he even reacted.
