[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 6800167, member: 1125"] Firstly I will declare that I didn't like Superman Returns, I didn't see it until early last year and I thought the Grim Dark approach to Supes and repeating the Zod plot was just a bit naff. So yes I was already a little leery about this film but I was hoping that the Batman side of the story might redeem things. of course the team up was going to happen,really the real draw card of the movie for me was the [I][U]mystery [/U][/I] of how they were going to get from the grim dark conflict to compelling the two antagonist to work together. The mystery was exciting and could have got me to the theatre to find out - but the trailer has blown the mystery to shreds and also eliminated any other compulsion that might have existed. My mention of Aquaman was a reference to Atlantis invading Metropolis in Throne of Atlantis. Not an exact copy of the story but imho an Atlantean invasion could have been used both to create the eminent threat to the heroes and to introduce Aquaman and Wonder Women to the conflict without the big jump from Superman saying "[U]the Bat is dead[/U]" and Bats threatening "[I]do you bleed? - you will[/I]" to the casualness of Supes asking, "[I]She with you?[/I]" and Bats quipping, ".[I]I thought she was with you![/I]" that quip was too jarring for me especially on top of the presentation of the Bats in Chains Scene, ADHD Lex and the ease with which he is able to frankenstein Zods DNA into Doomsday. Doomsday is a big gun of the DC universe, dropping him into this movie was unnecessary, cheap and a waste of potential, especially as something has to happen to ensure the heroes stop/beat him. and where exactly do you go after Doomsday? who is going to be the next viable villain for the Justice League? (Braniac or Darkseid I suppose) but yes if they do have Doomsday kill Supes or even just pummel him into a coma I will eat my hat and send you all the pictures as an apology:) to be honest for me it is about the lack of bone spikes and significantly the lack of nose. I would have preferred if he had in fact looked more like the Abomination did in The Hulk, this Doomsdays face just lacks character and quite simply looks like a bad rubber suit. Sure Thanos might like a bit dumb too but I think that Ultron and the Hulk are pretty good in as much as they are identifiable those characters and able to emote. Of course I don't expect Doomsday to do much emoting but I do want to be able to go "[I]whoa thats Doomsday laying some awesome smack down on Supes[/I]" without it just being dust clouds and explosions [/QUOTE]
