the wife and I were on a bit of a road trip to the near-ish Buc-Eees, we see a shitbox subcompact with a stunning new purple-with-green paint scheme clearly meant to be a Joker joke, she's the more car-oriented of the two of us and calls bullshit on a Geo Metro or whatever that's been Jokered up to the nines, so I respond with "you wanna know how I got this gas milage? it's a funny story..."
 
Lex got his suit now:

That helmet better be a fucking force field waiting on some CGI to be added, that’s all I’m saying. Lex does NOT conceal the dome.
He should have something to protect his head.
I know that's the way it looks in the comics but it's dumb and Lex shouldn't make dumb decisions like this.
Is should be a force field because what else could it be? Glass? Transparent aluminium?
 
Am I going crazy, or does it feel like there is a gaslighting campaign to convince people Superman has always been OK with killing? Not counting the extreme cases even Batman would approve (Doomsday etc).

In Alan Moore's 'Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?' he literally quit being Superman out of intense guilt over taking a life — the life of an omnipotent evil god, mind you. In 'Kingdom Come,' one of the core conflicts was that the old heroes, Superman included, wouldn't kill, but the new ones might. In the 'Superman vs. the Elite' movie, again Superman says he, unlike Manchester Black, would never kill.

After 'Man of Steel,' and with Gunn reinforcing it in his movie, now I see all comments online about how Batman is super unique at not being willing to kill, and Superman is the big chungus boy scout that may kill you if he feels like it, but doesn't because he is too nice.

I guess that's a way to attempt to make Superman and Batman even more different, but what bothers me the most is everyone pretending this isn't a retcon. Batman being the only one with a no-kill rule is just another Bat-wank to me. Wasn’t most of the Justice league like that?

Yeah, that one had a boyish charm to her. This one is a bit... She could use some help.
Yeah but she DRINKS and is a BAD GIRL you've never seen a super hero movie like this before. Ignore that she looks like a cousin to Greta Thunberg and Gunn sounds like he's just making Guardians of the Galaxy 4 and that what dialogue you hear in the trailer is rancid dogcrap and Supergirl will be a fine night at the cinema.

It is probably super strong but there is no way he shouldn't have a way to conceal his identity. People like Superman. If Lex fights him, the repair bill and prison time will be on him.

Yeah but she DRINKS
You know, the thought of a drunk Kryptonian is a very frightening one. Imagine what we would do while drunk with that kind of power. Remember Megamind? Tighten's rampage only with more flying into buildings. Anyone with that level of power HAS to be a boy-scout.

Ignore that she looks like a cousin to Greta Thunberg
The camera and make-up haven't helped her. She looks like an old aunt in many screenshots.

Gunn sounds like he's just making Guardians of the Galaxy 4
That could be said about Superman.

that what dialogue you hear in the trailer is rancid dogcrap
Don't you mean dog piss?

Ive seen people complaining about barely even seeing supergirl herself in promo material, instead most of it being lobo and other random ass characters lol. Like it's special 'popcorn bucket' that cant even hold more than a handful of popcorn. And in her main poster her face is mostly covered by sunglasses, hair and looking away, lol.

Wasn't the idea of turning Bats into a poor, C-tier Punisher as well?

I think Snyder definitely tried. There’s the branding, and that deleted scene of him threatening to kill the Joker in the bad future, and almost killing Superman before the infamous Martha scene.

But it all ended once he left the DCEU. They did a 180 with Batfleck, and from then on up to his last appearance in The Flash movie, he ended up being one of the most lighthearted Batmen. He was even the butt of a joke in his last appearance.

I am surprised the executives let Snyder go that far, as legitimately some of his changes, an ideas could have been brand-damaging. To be fair he retired before he could actually do the worst of them.

No no, I was thinking about that Absolute Batman dumbfuck who stabs people on the chest with a bat pickaxe, lies to them about where the hospital is, stabs people on the eyes, and still considers himself to keep his no kill rule.

If there is a Bruce Wayne heroic Batman variant that would make sense that would kill it was him. But it feels odd they want him to be the most brutal Batman and even gave him an axe, as his signature weapon and he still doesn't kill somehow.

Superman has always had a no-kill rule, but it’s one he has historically broken and should be willing to do so again but only in extreme circumstances. The Kingdom Come problem wasn’t so much just that Magog killed Joker, it was that he executed an already captured man in custody. I agree that that resolution of Whatever Happened was retarded, but it was necessary to give us the ending Moore wanted. Always thought that was the weakest of his “classics.” I think a big problem is that the comics never gave us a hard and fast reset point for Superman like they did Batman where we all know his golden age isn’t really canon. I was about to reference Supes famously killing Zod in the comics and then stopped myself because Zod is alive in them right now and I honestly don’t remember how that is anymore. Fucking comics, man.
