    <p>That's kind of the point of the ending of Man of Steel and much of the history of the comics, <strong>Superman doesn't like to kill people</strong>. Combine that with they kryptonite (and I guess magic, if they are including Wonder Woman as her sword can cut Superman) he has a weakness that can be exploited.</p>

    <p>He's often not that bright either.</p>

    <p>Yeah thats kinda why the whole Batman vs Superman thing seems silly to me as both are essentially 'good' but then I've not read any of the Justice League or anything, but I'll watch it fo'sho!</p>

    They are being clever with the story. One of the main criticisms of the Man of Steel was how Superman destroyed half the city killing Zod. <br><br>
    In this one there are supposed to be consequences to that, Batman and Luthors attitude to him is driven by that. <br><br>
    Good starting point. And they haven't over powered this version of Superman, no lifting continents into space, turning back the earth, etc

    <p>Looks like they are influenced heavy by The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel by Frank Miller, which is bloody good. They made an animated movie of it last year or the year before, which is good too, especially part 2.</p>

    <p>Yeah, it's an adaption of that so will be big changes. but you can just look at the batsuit (both versions) and see Miller's influence.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I was going to post a link to that on youtube, the fight in the comic was better with batman using his brain more than the animated movie. Sort of underplayed that Batman NUKED Superman as well :)</p>

    <p>Apparently there is a new trailer out for this? I heard it on the radio and Affleck sound cooool! Similar to bale but with another added barbed wire/broken glass effect on the voice</p>

    <p>I was hoping he wouldn't do the Bale voice, it was one of the most annoying things about the Dark Knight series for me.</p>

    <p>My expectations have been so lowered by the trailers that if it doesn't completely suck I'll probably rave about it.</p>

    I downloaded that film (superman cartoon part 2) for my son thinking that it was a kid's cartoon. It was ok until the Joker went beserk. Fark that was some disturbing shit.<br><br>
    Rush was pretty good. They overplayed the rivalry in order to have a plot, but there was nothing fake about what went down that season. Lauda's comeback has to be the greatest in the history of sport. Daniel Bruel was brilliant as Lauda. Chris Hemsworth once again looked the part, but fark what a shit actor.
