I don't know why people consider the TDKR fight a win. If your opponent ends the fight by holding your dead body you didn't exactly win.

Yeah, but Batman says he won, and by his deranged ass standards it's kind of like a win from his perspective.

This fight is probably going to go to Supes, though, going off of what we've seen.

 

[Mighty Chin]

I see Superman still has a thing against structural design. 50,000 ways to damage Bats, and his choice is to run him through a building. Suppose that confirms that it was purely Supe's call to blow holes in all those skyscrapers when fighting Zod.

Apparently you missed his slight head tilt where he obviously scanned the building for people.

 

[RSLYG]

Not only Supes can't see through smoke, he can't hear Batman moving, even with his superhearing.

Duhh..Supes is an alien, water/rain is bad for
them.

 

[JigglesBunny]

God damn, they nailed both characters.

Superman pleading Batman to just stand down and letting him decide what to do. Batman still not backing down and using Superman's moral vulnerability to evade him through the lead smoke.

He's fucking nailed it. Snyder might have actually got them!

 

[shoreu]

It's Batman. I can pretty much assure you given how he has countermeasures for each member of the justice League the smoke can inhibit Superman's vision.

He'd put lead in it and boom he can't see through it.

I hope the acting in the "deleted" scene is not indicative of the final movie...

Not sure if serious...

That was hilarious.

Of course it is. A skit made for a talk show is obviously indicative of a big budget movie.

Hate to break it to you pal but it is. I've seen the final movie and it's a dry comedy, they just decided to leave this scene out and opted to go for a shorter and a different scene with Kimmel.

 

[Messypandas]

Especially with them trying to hide laughter. VERY unprofessional

They saw Deadpool and thought "DC needs more brooding dark comedy" and they came up with this.

Why is this movie getting nitpicked the SHIT out of it here?

It's got rain, dude.

I know right? It felt like they were channeling the MCU acting in it

I'll wait for it too hit redbox then or wait for the reviews first to see it in the theatres. Thanks for the advance warning.

Damn, I forgot... thank you for reminding me.

SWING AWAY MERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL

 

[shoreu]

Superman is just letting Batman vent like letting the a child have a tantrum. He is barely putting effort into stopping Bruce lol

Lol I mean you can't beat your child to death for being annoying. That's how superman sees batman. Except this kid might blow you up after a while.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Skit was alright. Kimmel played the bit well enough, but it got tired quickly. I'd say Eisenberg and Affleck made the skit entirely. Batfleck's growl was superb.

 

[ArtHands]

Always be prepared

Lead-based smoke turned Batman into Wonder Woman?

 

[Shig]

LMAO

Yeah, the staging in those panels is nonsensical. Batman escaped a wide-open area between two people looking directly at him, and neither saw where he went? Unless he left via a trapdoor in the ground, that don't make no damn sense.

Supes was enveloped in the second panel, and Batman has a grapple? Ninjitsu.

[Avari]

Not a criticism of the clip (I can't wait to see the movie) but all the gimmicks Batman uses to 'defeat' Superman are blindingly obvious. There's no universe where Batman defeats Superman (excepting one where Batman confronts Superman with krytonite for the first time) without making Superman a moron, or have him not really try. Vision obscured by smoke he can't see through - blow it away or fly to a high altitude. Batman hiding something on his person you can see through - blast it with laser vision or get some altitude.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So the S v B movie is just Bat-pandering?

Moral victory.

Something Something Moral Victory.

Well, "Batman morals" anyway. We later realize what a stupid victory it was.

I don't think they are purposefully making this Superman a "moron". I feel people tend to forget this particular Superman has only been on the job for what? Two or three years? He's still young/inexperienced and most likely still doesn't fully understand his powers. While old man BatGod has been at this for a long time.

But old man "Bat God" has never faced someone like Supes either.

It's not unusual for superman, especially younger superman, to not give a fuck about practicality and rely heavily on his invulnerability. He doesn't dodge bullets and usually just tanks everything. He's been called out on this by Batman in the past because yeah, it's pretty lazy and arrogant of him.

Superman doesn't give a shit either way.

I know, but what I'm getting at is experience plays a big role here. Bats has most likely faced his fair share of super powered villains, obviously not like Superman, in this universe before.

 

[Cindres]

I think the idea is that Superman isn't prepared for Batman the same way Batman is prepared for Superman. He probably doesn't feel like he needs to use all of his advantages against him.

I like this way of thinking about it. Superman assumes he can just whack the suit on and sit this guy down whereas Batman has researched the fuck out of Supes and planned against all his abilities.

Batman is just a man. And Supes just tanked Bat's turrets with ease. And then crashed Batman through a building

Basically Supes is over confident and underestimating Batman. Hence the shocked look when Bats blocks his punch

 

[Messypandas]

Batman playing dem miiiiinnnnndddgggaaames.

He's likely been 'preparing' in the two/three year gap.

Superman does not take him seriously. It's mistake that almost everyone more powerful than him makes.

 

[Dalek]

That skit was fantastic.

Lego Batman > Batfleck

 

[Evil's Bane]

Batman throwing that smoke bomb and getting all of that cover and then using it to move about 5 feet to the left is hilarious to me.

Movie's cinematography is beautiful though, I gotta say.

 

[AgentOtaku]

I'm reminded of how old Batman attacks Superman in The Dark Knight Returns - . Bats was the supreme strategist taking down Superman. He used his mech suit, all the city's electricity, and general great fighting to keep Supes busy and to mildly hurt him. And Supes was weak from a recent nuclear blast / lack of sunlight anyway. Then the coup de grace -

Spoiler

Old Green Arrow fired the Kryptonite arrow. But it didn't pierce Superman - it exploded in his face - he was infected by Kryptonite, bringing him down closer to Batman's level.

Batman won! I hope the film's Batman is shown to have that level of cleverness and strategy.

( Of course, in the end all he has to do is pull out some previously-unseen Green Kryptonite out of a lead-encased utility belt compartment. )

The trailer - we are only seeing pieces of it. You can't complain about seeing clips out of context and without the end-of-film final explanations. It's likely there is more to the smoke and diversions, and that little bullet Bats shoots, of course.

Since the end-goal of the film isn't for there to be a game-ending winner, but Bats and Supes and Wonder Woman will be allies, I can't imagine how far the BvS battle will go.

I'd probably crack up if Bats presses a button after all that, ejecting him out of the possibly lead-based mech suit, and he is wearing Kryptonite. Fight over!

Now I need to read AND watch DKReturns again

I've read comics where Batman masks his heartbeat and shit to sneak up on Superman.

 

[Ahasverus]

Did people missed the part in MoS when little Clark had to learn not to turn on his super hearing all the time? It was easily the best scene of the movie.
