I don't think it's about competition. People just have different interests and express them. Some care more - or only - about one, some the other. Some care about both, some neither. Just like it would be with films that are not at all connected.
Marvellous! Harley Quinn and The Joker make a per-fect couple!
FINALLY someone in the same boat as me!
:-bd
We're in the same team folks. Really enjoyed "Man Of Steel" too, and looking forward to the upcoming ones.
I don't think we've seen enough yet. I expect there to be moments where he snaps and when he does, it'll be like nothing we've seen from a screen joker. Full on psycho, not like the more theatrical level of psychopathy displayed by Ledger.
True which is why I said it's early days. We understandably havn't seen much of this new joker which is why I just can't get too excited yet but Leto is a fantastic actor and I hope you're right in that we get an all out psychotic characterisation from him.
Yup, that's my idea too.
Leto´s voice in the trailer is admirable.
They actually painted over Romero's mustache because he didn't want to shave it. Could you imagine something like that happening today?? The way people complain about superhero movies as it is, lol
=))
Have to say I have a great fondness for Cesar Romero as the Joker!!! :O)

I expect Batman V Superman to make roughly a billion or close to, but Suicide Squad to make $300-400Million.
Furthermore they count on BvS being a billion plus dollar movie at the box office.
Very, very risky.
It all could go bust with one major flop.
And I am saying this as a huge DC fan.
Man Of Steel was already very disappointing. But I will give Zack Snyder another chance.
After all he has made the best movie ever of that genre: Watchmen.
I think that's it really, how excited you are for Batman vs Superman will depend entirely on how much you enjoyed Man Of Steel, because it really seems like it's in the same vain.
I hated Man Of Steel (and I'd never seen the old ones so I'm not just biased cause of the lack of Christopher Reeve) and that's one of the reasons I'm just not interested in Batman Vs Superman at all. I watched the trailer today and it did nothing for me. It just looks like Man Of Steel in the sense that all the action is big, loud, lots of CGI, etc. One of the reasons I loved the Nolan trilogy so much was the devotion he had to making things real. For example, this still gives me chills
No CGI, not even any music (which coupled with the setting, empty, echoey, adds so much atmosphere, it's the same with the Oddjob/Bond fight in Fort Knox), just two men beating the shit out of each other (would've been even better if there'd been some blood and bruising but ah well it still works). People complain about Nolan staging action and true the fight choreography isn't that exciting but that's because he was going for a realistic approach, and I think it really works. It's quiet, brutal, intimate and fierce.
I don't think any of the action scenes in Man Of Steel come close to that, no matter how many buildings they knocked down or how many explosions Superman caused, I still wasn't invested in the action in the slightest. And it looks the same in Batman vs Superman for me. The shot with him grappling away, which everyone is raving about, to me sums up the problem: the action is just soulless and computer generated. There's lots of crashing and banging and explosions but they're not actually fighting.
I understand it's more of a comic book approach so I imagine fans of the comics will be thrilled. And fair enough, it's good that they're making films geared at fans of the source material, they deserve an accurate take since they've kept the character alive for all these years. But I'm not a comic book fan and Batman vs Superman just doesn't seem appealing to me in the slightest, this approach (the same approach taken to Man Of Steel) isn't for me. I'll stick with Nolan's trilogy.
Suicide Squad I'm not entirely sold on but it looks interesting. I like the premise and I like David Ayer (Training Day and End Of Watch were great, Sabotage was crap imo but he redeemed himself with Fury), and I'm liking the full on psychopath approach of Leto's Joker so far. I'm not entirely sold yet but I'm expecting it to be better (well, I'm expecting to prefer it to) Batman vs Superman, so I'm curious to see how it plays out.

If we're going to guess what role Sean Bean may be eyeing, we should start by picking characters from the DC universe who are likely to die by the film's end.
Oh how I envy you!! Having seen all of it of course.
Let me tell you something, you'll have to sit through the first 2 1/2 seasons. There are quite a lot of the "monster of the week" episodes and at times the story seems not to go forward and there are some, if only a few, quite stupid episodes in those seasons. Also sometimes the teeny-college "drama" gets on the nerves.
But hey, they started in 2001 and for that they were quite ahead of their time in my opinion.
Once season 3 progresses it really starts to kick as and with each season it's getting better and better. I won't spoil anything naturally but there will be great new characters during the many seasons.
Let me tell you this though, my favourite character is Lionel Luthor, it's quite astonishing how John Glover owns this character, he's just one hell of an actor!
Have fun and enjoy, such marvelous TV Shows don't come so often.
It has entered my treasury of the greats of the TV Shows and sits there comfortably besides Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Firefly or Supernatural.
I actually think these films should be watched to prepare for "SPECTRE". First the "Dark Knight" trilogy, then Craig's first three Bond films.... One thing though. The ending of "The Dark Knight Rises" makes me thinkk...that perhaps something bad could happen to Bond? Similar to what has happened to him in the finales of the novels "From Russia With Love" and "You Only Live Twice"? I thinkkkk...I am also going to prepare for that scenario. :-O
