I really.. really hate being that guy, but like this..is..wb. We have zero evidence that this isn't another giant clusterfuck being smeared over with hype trailers.

On a more contained, but concerned note, I cant be the only one that noticed the CGI ...off. Like not quite ps2 cut scene, but its sooo obvious that his action scenes are all cgi and the suits been redone a couple times in post. Theres a brief second in the trailer thats practical, I think hes just standing in the batcave and it looks nothing like his weird ultraslim bright red bird neck suit.

I don't want it spoiled for me, but the flash 2 betrayal twist seems increasingly evident. Im assuming flash 2 cant accept that his mom hasd to die and flips out. All the action in the trailer seems like an early or mid movie battle.
Oh yeah, the CGI looks pretty awful. The lighting in the desert scenes (which I assume are a response to MoS criticism) belongs in a CW show.

I wouldn't put it past them to have a Flash vs Flash fight for the reason you mentioned, but I do doubt that past Barry is secretly Reverse Flash or some shit like the internet thinks.

The Flash? Who's that? Anyway, here's some Batman. You guys love that shit right? Oh and uhhh, what do we have... Ah, Superman! We got Superman! Wait... Oh, Superman's cousin, we have Superman's cousin.
You don't have to dance around like a 90s stand up comic making fun of nerds by calling her Superman's cousin; people know broadly who Supergirl is. Probably because she's been around in one form or another since the 1950s, and even had one (very, very risible) movie of her own back in the 1980s.

Christ knows she's the only reason I wanna go and see this movie since her solo one got the chop.

I was referring to how Henry Cavill has been included and cut out of this movie again and again for like two or three years now. Apparently now he's still slated to have a cameo? Who knows. I'm not dismissing Supergirl's involvement. I agree, it's about the only interesting thing about the movie. But you just know the marketing team desperately wants literally anyone else but Miller to feature in their trailers.

Meh I do like the story concept and design for this supergirl, but largely if I go see this at all itll be because I have a slow week at work. Nothing about this screams fomo.

Itll probably get worse leading up to release when leaks start coming in about studio confusion and mangling.

Wait a min, if King Triton is white and all his daughters are of different race, what does that imply?

Something-something-mermaid DNA-something-something

Also, look at the map - I guess this isn't meant to be Earth anymore?

That his wife or wives were not?

Hey, if Zeus/Jupitor can fuck around, So can Poseidon/Neptune.

Hades, OTOH, has to stay in his hole in the ground, minding his job and hanging with his wife. Though as far as Greek deities go that's honestly pretty chill. Really, he just needs to keep the dead peoples from getting out and make sure the paperwork is in order.

A good friend of mine explained Hades actual role to me, and I think it had irrevocably changed him in my mind from a perhaps sinister being to basically an overworked administrator with a tempestuous marriage.
