    With Trachtenberg I wouldn't jump to conclusions until something is specific, as statutory rape is EXTREMELY serious that should be treated as such. But even if it is something like Whedon calling her "fat", verbal abuse from an adult to a minor is still pretty gross.

    I wasn't jumping to that conclusion, I just said it was something sinister. It could be anything.

    Not you specifically, just in general. Twitter, as usual, has already jumped to the "HE RAPED A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL ON SET" ramblings.

    Superman looks great.

    He does, his hair looks good. I've always had a problem with how they style Cavill's hair as Superman; it's generally over gelled and ridged.

    I agree I don't think the over gelled look works with Cavil, his hair was at its worse in the Whedon reshoots, admittedly his hair is shorter due to the look he had in Fallout.

    Cavil reminds me a bit of Superboy Prime in the teaser trailer...

    I thought his hair looked worse in BvS where it really exposed his receding hairline in a way that made him look like that kid from The Munsters.

    Boom!

    I don't know why the CGI in Snyder's DC movies always looks so aggressively bad. Especially given that his previous works like 300 and Watchmen didn't really have that problem.

    Looks terrific to me.

    If only I could say the same about the scripts.

    They're doing a black and white version, aren't they? Which seems a bit silly.

    They did the same with Logan and Fury Road and those versions rather rocked.

    I think it does too. Which is why its lower quality (at least to my eyes) in the DC films baffles me.

    The CGI on people and objects tends to look alright, but so many of the green screen backgrounds in BVS and JL (both the Whedon cut and what we've seen of this one) make the characters look like they're floating in a videogame.

    Maybe I'm crazy but this just doesn't look very good to me.

    I just don't think watching a giant lizard man smash up a load of CG Amazon warriors on horseback somehow becomes more serious and grown-up because it's in B&W.

    It doesn't. Just like it didn't for Logan or Fury Road - and neither of those are particularly serious on paper. A different colour scheme just offers a different mood and stimulates a different reaction than the colour one does. I really enjoyed Fury Road on the big screen in B&W, mostly for the same reasons (as a good film is a good film, ultimately) but not entirely.

    I tried a bit of the BW version of Logan and found it no different an experience, to be honest. I'm sure lots of work went into it. But then I was never really blown away by the film in the first place.
    Calling it 'Noir' did seem to suggest it was giving itself more cache.

    Plus isn't there a plot point about Superman wearing a black costume in this? Will you be able to tell? :D

    The trouble with all these black and white edits is that the movies were all originally shot (and meant to be seen in) colour.

    No matter how good their black and white grading is, it's still ultimately just a filter over costumes, makeup, and lighting choices that were meant for colour.

    Yup. Contrast that with how the black and white opening of CASINO ROYALE was handled. That was all conceived to be seen in B&W and was actually shot using B&W film stock. There's an authenticity to CR's that's lacking in edits of color films where someone just turns down the color bar and calls it a day.

    Snyder has such a good eye for shots that just look amazing. He is such a talented visionary (notice I did not use the word director). Even if this is on par with the released version, I will still be glad the man got to see his vision fulfilled. He deserves nothing less considering what all he has been through.

    I fully agree with @km16!

    Yeah, Directors who started with music videos and commercials really know how to visually entertain. Maybe David Fincher might be the only one who cares about the plot and not just the visuals, even if he's also very good with shots.

    I don’t know how B/W will work for a comic book, superhero film; it depends on the overall tone of the movie.
    One film that absolutely rocks in B/W is Stephen King’s “The Mist” ; it really enhances the creepy atmosphere.

    Can you at least post the video from the official HBO youtube channel rather than using an account that just steals content for clicks? I hate it when channels like JoBlo.com does this kind crap for views.

    a great picture of Timothy Dalton (sorry I love licence to kill but I had to)

    It's totally fair. Dalton's hair was pretty abysmal in LTK.

    Hmmmmm. The hype surrounding this film is more than six superhero films combined. Let's just hope it lives up to the hype.

    I don't know, maybe it's just me, but that CGI looks like a still from a video game, not a live-action movie.

    I will say it's very nicely designed, though. I wish Snyder had leaned more into the fantastical elements in his earlier DC films as it's where his design sensibility really shines.
