I think the previews have gotten better and better for this movie. I've moved from cautiously optimistic to full on excited! I read that the runtime is going to be about 2 hours, which I think is the right move. About the same length as GotG, which I think will be a good financial comparison for this one.

I will be there that opening Thursday night with my two boys (thanks to PG-13 and not R).

Ahhhh
1) You people fall for it (hollywood pre-release hype) every time. Every. Time.
2) If it comes anywhere close to that prediction, I'm putting all the credit on Margot Robbie.

This isn't "hype." It has nothing to do with impressions or early reactions. These numbers are based on actual research and polling, and are usually fairly accurate for the most part, save for a Deadpool-like surprise now and again.

Ahhh, ok. My post was meant mainly in jest, based on all of the out of this world reviews of BvS before it came out. And as a scientist I'm all about actual research and stats, I just don't understand where they come up with legitimate representative groups, etc. to determine how much money a movie will make. But they're obviously smarter than me.

The part I wasn't joking about it was Margot Robbie....ooofff, I saw her in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot recently. My God, she's the type of woman you stare at and completely lose your train of thought when you watch her.

If you enjoy movies with Margot Robbie as eye candy, check out Focus.

Oh, I have!

BvS was a letdown IMO, but I have hope that Wonder Woman will be better.

The more and more pictures I see, the more and more I see her as Wonder Woman. I'm very anxiously awaiting that movie. I think it's going to be one of the first true blockbuster female action movies.

The subtle nipped shading on her armor works.

Thats pretty dang awesome

I feel like Burton might be a better art director than a director.

I absolutely love the worlds his films live in...I just don't love many of his films.

Not me necessarily, but I imagine most would say the same about Zach Snyder.

I'd say that applies to Snyder as well. Creates beautiful stuff, but his storytelling tends to fall a bit short.

Sounds like an Arrested Development episode.

I'm sure I'll love it.

Better than Batman: Mask of the Phantasm?

Heresy.

(You did say movie. )

I'm not a big fan either as he tends to just play the same character, but this might actually be a great bit of casting.

I know it's not saying much, but Cera was by far the best part of This is the End

It is kinda funny that Cera was cast on BvS now he is going to be Robin boy wonder.

Amazing!

Also, DC Rebirth has been pretty good across the board! My personal favorite has been Green Arrow's run!

The footage of the upcoming Justice League Action animated series looks really promising too.

That looks pretty cool, but I guess I'm too damn old. I don't recognize several of those heroes/villains and where does one go to watch such a thing?

It's going to be on Cartoon Network.

The reason I'm optimistic is it looks a lot like a throwback to the Bruce Timm Batman/Superman/Justice League cartoons of the 90's-early 2000's. They even got a few of the same voice actors back. To me those shows were the best representations of the DC characters ever created, either on film or in print.

As to the heroes/villains I spotted (in this order):

Batman
Superman
Wonder Woman
Firestorm
Mongul (villain made famous from a comic by Alan Moore of Watchmen fame)
Joker
Lobo
Atom
Stargirl
Blue Beetle
Martian Manhunter
Etrigan The Demon
Lex Luthor
Hippolyta (WW's mother)
Hawkman
Toyman
Cyborg
Brainiac
Solomon Grundy
Swamp Thing
Plastic Man
Zatanna
Harley Quinn
Vixen
Mr. Freeze

There were a few villains I did not recognize at all, possibly newly created for the show?

Anyone seeing The Killing Joke on Monday?

Yeah, it looks to be in a similar vein to the Timm-verse. Depending on how long that has been in development, I guess it's possible that's the reason that Young Justice was canceled. Different art styles though.

I'll be giving that show a shot though.
