Haha, he actually calls him Bruce in front of Joker? Was that a slip or did he do it on purpose so that Batman would have to let Joker be killed?

Superman didn't give a shit since he was going to murder the fuck out of him and Batman had no say in it:

Yeah I figured it was from Injustice, I just wasn't sure exactly why he said Bruce. Guess it was just to be a dick.

We just pre-ordered our tickets for 7 PM on Thursday. I thought they only did midnight showings on opening night. My kids tried to tell me Superman was going to win, I told them to GTFO. They then changed their vote.

P.S.: Your three years of trolling me about Superman are about over.

Wasn't there a bunch of talk about how neither of them are going to win and the whole story was going to be messed up by the introduction of all the Doomsday, Wonder Woman, Aquaman crap?

main indication a film going to be good is when studios dont put embargos on film reviews, Deadpool and Kingsman were very open with early screenings in recent memory, Ant Man also might not have ever had an embargo either

My guess is that when the fight is interrupted it looks like Batman was going to win or at least had the upper hand. Then at some point later it gets revealed that Superman wasn't even trying because he would have effortlessly killed him if he actually wanted to.

An easy, recent counterpoint would be Star Wars. It was embargoed until the Wednesday before the release, so that's even less time than this film.

Plus, when studios embargo reviews because a film is shit, they usually do it until the actual release date. Maybe WB thinks they have a winner so they're taking the SW route? We'll know tomorrow.

Embargos are done to either hide spoilers or bad reviews. Sometimes both. Force awakens was embargoed clearly to avoid spoilers. This movie's trailers cant seem to help giving away spoilers so it feels like it's trying to stop bad reviews. We'll see this week, either way

Except SW was super secret with new characters with unknown origins and a death of a major beloved character.

We have a general idea of where this and all other comic movies are going.

Trying to decide whether or not to go see this movie or not, I watched Man of Steel for the first time. It was actually better than I thought it was going to be. It was great up to the point they started with the explosions, tumbling buildings, and the 40 minutes of Michael Bay CGI shitshow. The first half the movie was really great though.

As recently as Inception (the last one I can definitively remember seeing at midnight) movies were only released at 12:01 Thursday night/Friday morning, but the last several years they have moved to 7pm or so (my B v S tickets are for 6:30, perhaps because of the length of the movie), which makes my Fridays at work much better. Because I'm going to see these movies the moment they release, no question, but getting home at 3am, usually full of energy if not excitement, doesn't allow for much sleep.

I really hope this is a good movie, for multiple reasons. It forces other movies to be better in the future, it keeps the tidal wave going, and it gives me enjoyment in seeing characters I am familiar with brought to life.

And in that spirit, truce?
