This is the best part about the Snyder's Superman. He is not a smart guy and cannot see the big picture.

I can see when you are lying.

Do you think that we'll get another view of Batman's parents dying in Suicide Squad? How many times will we see it in Justice League?

Someone will mention Zorro and he'll have another PTSD flashback and start ranting at them. WHY DID YOU SAY THAT TITLE. WHY. WHYYYYY.

Does this refer to Snyder's Superman, or to Zack Snyder himself?

Either way the answer is 'yes'

That first picture is loving hilarious now that we know he's not the main villain of this. I'm wondering if people are going to be pissed.

The trailer about joker has him holding his hand over his mouth. His hand also has a grin tattoo. I think he's going to be the funniest joker, just not intentionally.

https://www.google.com/#q=suicide+squad+movie+synopsis

Intelligence officer Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) decides to assemble a team of dangerous, incarcerated supervillains for a top-secret mission. Figuring it has nothing to lose, the U.S. government supplies weapons to Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and other despicable inmates. Dubbed the Suicide Squad, the united criminals must defeat a mysterious and powerful entity while contending with the antics of the diabolical Joker (Jared Leto).

Weren't they watching Excalibur in BvS not Zorro?

I thought it was a fascinating choice. Not only, obviously is it a sweeping epic of gods and men and honor and such, but it's ending fight finishes the same way supermans battle with doomsday does but with the roles reversed.

From memory, the marquee says that Excalibur is 'coming soon'

Also note that there's a whole bunch more Excalibur references throughout BvS, including Lois being the Lady Of The Lake and bestowing the magical weapon on the hero. (Excalibur the sword has a magical green glow in the movie Excalibur.)

Also, Supes and Doomsday skewering each other at the end does take a little from the death of Arthur and Mordred from Excalibur

Oh it's totally a homage to that scene. Mordred is also an abomination that was hellbent on destruction and was borne of Arthur and an enchantress via otherworldly magics (and was a twisted reflection of Arthur), somewhat similar to how Doomsday was borne of Kryptonian DNA mixed with Luthor's blood via otherworldly technology.

Arthur is also the Once And Future King (and the true leader of the Knights of the Round Table, a league dedicated to justice) who will rise again when The Land needs him most.

I like the movie, but it being his very favorite explains a lot since a lot of it is flashy composition and production design, Grim Muddiness, Dour Fightmans, and one of its most memorable scenes is a rape-by-deception that absurdly occurs with the guy just pulling his dillz out of his full plate and mail.

Got around to watching this over the weekend, it was aight.

But how the hell are they blaming Superman for the poo poo that happened in Africa? Because he was there around the time Lex's dude's wasted those people?

I mean, aside from all the other inconsistent stuff this bothers me the most.

I think Alan Moore explicitly said that was his intent with the book, but then it became canon.
