It sounds like to me Batman will be more of an Anti-hero in this one, and that he'll be at odds with Superman.

I'm in.

 

[G-Fex]

Here's hoping for a fun movie series rather than a brooding one.

not if it's based on Miller.

Fucking hate Miller

 

[RoboPlato]

2015 is going to be an amazing year for movies.

 

[Subitai]

Based WB delivers on of my soul's greatest desires.


Also, GL failure official.

 

[Loxley]

That Batman Logo is fucking dreadful but goddamn if I'm not hyped. Hope he tries to improve on Man of Steel cos while that movie wasn't bad it had lots of room for improvement.

It's certainly an improvement over the one DC used for it's Batman/Superman comic in the mid-00's.

 

[Gawge]

What type of Batman will we get?

Man of Steel demands a Nolan-esque Batman - but with Bale so recent and firmly in the memory, i'm guessing they will want to set the new Batman apart.

Black Batman, please deliver.

 

[Femmeworth]

Press release;

Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay.

God damn it.

 

[rekameohs]

I really reaaaally want to be excited, but Man of Steel happened.

 

[Kuroyume]

Batman and Superman in one universe always seemed ridiculous to me.

Superman would blow Batman's enemies too pieces in like 1 second.

Superman tends not to kill.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

It would be great if it is loosely based on The Dark Knight Returns, in a way that Batman acts as the villain for the first 3 quarters of the movie.

Which ends with both of them working together to stop Lex Luthor, and settling their differences.

Yeah, I'd watch that.

Bale's Wayne/Batman was bland IMO, hoping they do one a lot more energetic, interesting, and charismatic.

 

[Discotheque]

Yo wtf Goyer is writing this by himself? Hype deflating

 

[ezekial45]

They better bring in Lex Luthor. Seriously. He'd be a perfect villain for this.

 

[GK86]

I am in. Consider me moist.

 

[Protein]

I posted the pic on Facebook. My nerd friends are having orgasms.

 

[Darklord]

Wait, Snyder's directing? FUCK.

A dark and gritty Batman but not quite as realistic as Nolan's I'd guess.

 

[fuenf]

Snyder is co-writing it.

I haven't read it but how in the world can batman be the villain when superman could kill him by looking at him

Also I can't believe Snyder has basically become the biggest director in hollywood so fast

 

[Plywood]

Holy shit.

Would be perfect set-up for a JLA movie too, both of them wanting to bring more people into the fold.

 

[NYR]

Will one of the plot points be what happens to the millions of people who have to evacuate Gotham City for fear of

Spoiler

Superman destroying every god damn building in town?

Zach Synder fucking sucks.

 

[Error]

Zack Snyder makes sense regardless of what critics or gaf think, he made Superman relevant to modern audiences, MoS was really successful. Not him at this point would've been stupid.

Goyer on the other hand, I dunno...

 

[xclaw]

It's certainly an improvement over the one DC used for it's Batman/Superman comic in the mid-00's.

Am I the only one that likes that logo?

Also would't this be more of a team up movie with a moral battle between the two than a Batman vs Supes flick?

 

[An-Det]

Not a fan of the logo, but goddamn it's great to finally have this happening. Also, loosely based on TDK Returns? Hell yes.

 

[Parallax]

God damn it.

Ugh. Well fuck that. Hopefully someonw of worth jumps onto this shit with him.

 

[Shamrock7r]

The script was god awful

Don't misunderstand. I think there were legitimate reasons for someone to dislike the movie, but there were some people that obviously went in wanting to hate it, and came up with incredibly stupid reasons that made it seem like they've never read a Superman comic or watched a movie in their life.

 

[plantedunicorn]

Why does WB like Goyer so much? Obviously he knows his comic book shit but at best he's been a mediocre screenwriter. Why don't they just search for someone else?

 

[Nesotenso]

the people who had issues with the Avengers power set on screen are going to have a harder time dealing with this.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Snyder, Goyer and a way too soon Batman reboot. ... The fact they didn't rush into JL shows WB has somewhat of the right idea, I'll try to say open minded.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Here's hoping for a fun movie series rather than a brooding one.

No thanks.

The darker the better.

 

[Wingfan19]

cross post

From the /Film article

http://www.slashfilm.com/zack-snyde...red-by-frank-millers-the-dark-knight-returns/

Snyder said “we’re not adapting this thing, but it is the thing that will help us tell that story.” So while the logo he showed on screen, pictured above, uses the bat logo design from Miller’s work, this won’t quite be a direct adaptation.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Yes.

 

[ezekial45]

Snyder, Goyer and a way too soon Batman reboot. ... The fact they didn't rush into JL shows WB has somewhat of the right idea, I'll try to say open minded.

I think this is a solid way to reintroduce Batman. Especially into the world they made in MoS.

 

[Vermillion]

I feel... nothing.

 

[Kuroyume]

It's a crossover movie so I'm not expecting much in terms of story. Hopefully it will just have cool moments. Should use it as an opportunity to introduce other characters like Nightwing and maybe Supergirl.

 

[Clevinger]

Snyder is co-writing it.

Oh man, I can't wait for some of that brilliant Sucker Punch level writing combined with Goyer!

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Damn, 2015 will be the best movie year for nerds ever.

Batman/Superman, Avengers 2, Star Wars, Jurassic Park... Best year ever!

 

[Blablurn]

Why not?

 

[Illithid Dude]

There is no way this is going to be a good movie, especially since they are bringing back the same team that made Man of Steal. Ugh.

 

[Discotheque]

the people who had issues with the Avengers power set on screen are going to have a harder time dealing with this.

They're probably gonna make batman a mix between captain America and iron man in here so it will be fine

I always thought this team up alone was far more exciting than the avengers but the writer for this has me worried

 

[Ripclawe]

Snyder should be giving yearly payments to Frank Miller for his career

shame about goyer

 

[Pau]

not if it's based on Miller.

Fucking hate Miller

Same. :/ I am so fucking bored of a super dark and brooding Bruce.

Am I the only one that likes that logo?

Nope! It's much better than the abomination they made for this movie, that's for sure.

 

[Error]

Snyder, Goyer and a way too soon Batman reboot. ... The fact they didn't rush into JL shows WB has somewhat of the right idea, I'll try to say open minded.

But this is the perfect way to 'reboot' Batman, IMO. Much better than doing a solo film just to reboot the character.

 

[slightconfuse]

Oh lawddddd

 

[MisterHero]

IT'S HAPPENINGG!!!!

 

[GloveSlap]

Hyped. This is a smart way to potentially reboot the Batman movies. Keep Bale away.

 

[Captain Pants]

This seems like a great way to lead in to a Justice League movie, especially if they can get Flash and Wonder Woman movies off of the ground. I'd kill to see Martian Manhunter on the big screen too.
