Giggity.

I'll watch the trailer again to determine whether it looks good, but so far I've just had the 'Hey, that's Cyborg in a film!' watching.

I'm still not sold on Khal Curry. And the actor playing Barry Allen just seems wrong too. Don't get me wrong, I thought he was great in We Need to Talk About Kevin, but he's just too emo for the character. Marvel does a fantastic job of casting actors who look the part. DC, not so much.

Wait. So Aquaman, the King of the Sea, who can speak with fish and call on their help, goes to a village in the winter and brings a bunch of fish to their deaths in order to feed the people? What a dick!

I am on board with Momoa as Aquaman though.

I'm not sure I like Cyborg's armor. Seems to have a whole lot of polygons in there. But that's nitpicking. Overall it has me intrigued. I'm almost definitely going to be watching the Wonder Woman movie in summer 2017 so I'm sure I'll go see Justice League as well. I heard the extended edition of Batman vs. Superman was a lot better than the original and I need to give that a watch.

They try to add a bit more to the Darkseid foreshadowing, and they flesh out Lex "Giggles" Luthor's plot to frame Supes a bit more...which was nice since it was kind of rushed in the theatrical release. But most of the additional material will leave you with more questions than answers unless you're a DC fan.

I watched it last night and it struck me how awful the dialog is in this film. Example: the narration at the start of the film actually includes the line, "Those who fall are fallen."

Seriously? And I suppose those who are driving are the driven. And those who live are the living.

Also, I laughed out loud at a scene towards the end of the film where a mysterious power outage causes all the lights to go out in the Daily Planet building, and less than 2 seconds after they go out, some guy screams, "We gotta get out of here!".

Usually, when the power goes out in my apartment, my first thought isn't, "I gotta run!" :lol:

I enjoyed the trailer. I've had little interest in Snyder's DC films thus far, but I liked what I saw. Going to wait and see if the tone of the film is actually lighter, or if it was just the trailer cut that way.

Word is that Snyder's control over the films' 'vison' has been reigned in after the reaction to BvS.

Looking carefully, the polygons seem intentional. His armor is sort of faceted, a bit like stealth aircraft, and the facets seem to move individually. That may play into his traditional ability to alter his body (turn his arm into a cannon, for instance.)

Yeah. They actually hired someone (possibly multiple someone's) to oversee all of the DC extended universe, ala Kevin Feige at Marvel.

That like all the DC trailers looks really great! The movie might be crap but the trailer is pretty solid. That said, I don't wish the movie any ill will. I didn't know what to expect from Aquaman but I like the interpretation and I'm cheering for Wonder Woman and hope that will be a good movie when it comes out.

I still have hopes for The Justice League but for crying out loud would somebody go buy Snyder a frikkin color palette? How has this man not yet figured out that bleaching the color out of his entire movie just makes the whole movie feel depressing and well... colorless? That style was a one trick pony. It worked as a visual gimmick once but after that, not so much. I hate to say it but I hope that even if Justice League is a success, Snyder steps down and lets them go a new direction.

I did not like the Flash costume, and though I'm a fan of the TV series, the movie actor doesn't bother me. I like the Batman costume, with the large bat on the front, a lot. Ok with Affleck in the role. Like WW and Aquaman. Any Justice League needs Superman, IMO. And it looks like we're getting Darkseid and company as villains? Is that true? If so, that's a major turn-off for me. Bores me to tears.

This looks pretty... bad, to me. I actually liked Man of Steel. Haven't bothered to see Dawn of Justice. Despite intending to give him the benefit of the doubt, I'm just not interested in seeing Affleck as Batman. None of these characters are appealing or interesting to me with the exception of Mamoa's Aquaman and perhaps Wonder Woman, but we'll see how her solo film goes and whether she's more than just the DC film universe's Captain America.

I think it's still probably a pretty obvious mistake to make the team-up movie before introducing most of the other characters in solo films. As tired as most of us probably are of origin stories, I'm going to find it hard to care about most of these characters otherwise.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Honestly, I loved the trailer, but then again I'm not the best judge. I'm admittedly biased, and I'm the type that can enjoy an imperfect movie if it has the right content. I actually laughed out loud at the bit at the end with Aquaman on the Batmobile.

And Snyder isn't so much stepping down as he has (already) been pulled way back and a new person was put in charge - Geoff Johns, who actually has a clue about the DC characters. This is the last film that Snyder is slated to direct, the last he had a hand in writing, and he's only even a producer on one more (Aquaman), along with the aforementioned Johns. Aquaman, unlike this and Wonder Woman, was well into production before that change went into effect, so hopefully his influence will fade after this year.

Yeah, it is Darkseid (or at least he's in charge.) That was an army of parademons, and that was a mother box.

Oh really? Yeah, I haven't followed movie continuity w/ Snyder's films and all. Yeah... that's a realistic obstacle. :D

I enjoy Darkseid at times, but all of the New Gods/Apokolips/Kirby stuff just leaves me cold. I enjoyed the LoSH Great Darkness Saga a lot, but that's very off-topic.

Anyway, not overwhelmed by this trailer. Will see how things develop as we get closer.

As $iljanus noted above, this - like pretty much all DC trailers - looks pretty damn good. I'm not a DC guy at all and have only a passing knowledge of the Universe and its various widgets and whatnots. That being said, this - along with WW - looks really good to me.

Of course, so did the trailer for Suicide Squad, aka the Long Walk to Nowhere. Hoping DC can finally turn it around and make a movie worthy of the trailer.

Other thoughts - something I never thought I'd write: Batfleck was the best thing about "Dawn of Justice." I thought he really did a great job (within the generally 'meh' script). WW was a close second. Supes was just so 2-dimensional that I couldn't give two shits about him as a character. Completely uninteresting. And don't get me started on "Gigglely Lex" which is the worst re-think of a character I've ever seen. Horrid.

The most aggravating part to me is that they can do individual movies that don't have to be origin stories. Here's this guy in the water, Aquaman, and here he is doing Aquaman things- there's your movie. No one really cares how he became Aquaman, he just is.

I enjoyed the Dirty Harry movie just fine without having to see a previous movie explaining his character. I enjoyed Apocalypse Now without seeing a previous movie showing Capt Willard's initial adventures in Vietnam. I would enjoy a Flash movie without even needing to know how he became The Flash.

New footage is up in you tube from SDCC if you've not seen it yet.

There is a line in the trailer I don't understand

Spoiler in abundance of caution
Spoiler:
Superman was more than a superhero. He was a beacon of hope for the world (as close as I can remember it). Umm.. which Earth are we talking about? One of the biggest problems I had with Man of Steel and BvS was the "beacon of hope" part was no where in those movies. Superman in Supergirl (CW) got it better.
Other than that.... it was alright, I guess. I am more optimistic after Wonder Woman, so fingers crossed.
