So, it's actually horrifying nudity? I also think there is a bit of a contradiction in your definition of nude. A nude painting is exhibiting someone else for the gratification of the spectator. Exhibiting the own body, however, is a sign of power. Being able to look the way you want is empowering, while being merely naked seems to imply vulnerability.

I guess I have to source my weird quotes, too. Foucault says:
"Mastery and awareness of one's own body can be acquired only through the effect of an investment of power in the body: gymnastics, exercises, muscle-building, nudism, glorification of the body beautiful."

Also, I can kind of see Cyborg being "castrated" to be socially acceptable, but I doubt the film is gonna discuss the absence of his dingus.

Cyborg does not look the way he wants. He doesn't have a choice. Remember, I have not stated that nudity or nudism is inherently bad, so whether or not the individual can find empowerment in being nude is irrelevant. But when Foucault describes nudism as being a means of many to acquire "mastery and awareness of one's own body," he is nonetheless confirming Berger's observation that nudity is a form of dress. The only difference is that Foucault describes this process in terms of the individual mastering and glorifying themselves. Berger, when discussing the nude painting, is not contradicting this characterization of nudism, but merely contributing to its implicit understanding of nudity as being about exhibition and idealism - that even to the extent that one might enjoy being nude or glorifying their body, we are not merely looking upon ourselves as we are. We are imagining ourselves as the outside observer looking upon ourselves, and conforming ourselves appropriately to these ideological values and conventions.

As to whether or not the characters in the movie will talk about Cyborg's castration, they don't have to. The character is castrated. His visual appearance is psychologically significant already, and does not require explicit commentary.

In the comics at least, Cyborgs arm can turn into a gun or a USB port or whatever, depending on the circumstances. There's no reason to assume that shapeshfting is limited to his arm. Maybe he can grow a robot dick like Tetsuo the Iron Man

Apokalips is the blasted future earth marked with the Omega symbol from the Knightmare, as well as the carpet of skulls that Superman sees in MOS.

More than that, Apokalips is the setting of Snyder's other sci-fi film, 300.

You were so scary at night.
I'm still optimistic about JL as a movie, but the marketing has been incredibly scattershot. They're definitely throwing whatever they can against the wall to see what sticks. Some posters have Superman front and centre, some hide him, there are like three or four different taglines and styles.

I think the best stuff they've put out is the Alex Ross-ish group poster and All In character posters.

Combine these two and I would see that movie day 1, probably multiple times, just to see what kind of clusterfuck it ends up as. It would definitely not be like any other superhero movie.

It's a pretty powerful move to slowly walk down the train tracks while blowing smoke out of both of your nostrils at the same time - mocking the dumb steam train coming from behind you. "Look at me, I'm a stupid train on tracks! Choo loving choo!" In the end though the train always wins.

I like how they are trying to put so much color into all of the posters and I see people talking about how the movie looks so colorful and more fun now! But...haven't they seen any of the trailers? It looks the same monochromatic and drab as always. WB pulled the same poo poo with Suicide Squad (and I guess with WW, too) where all the marketing stuff is really vibrant and bright colors, yet the movies themselves are mostly that drab sewage water-colored nightmare. I don't actually mind the visual style in and of itself, but I'm confused how people can't seem to differentiate the promotional poo poo from the actual movies and then probably will get angry when they see the films and they are once again the green screened yet grey concrete hell as always.
