Mr. Apollo posted:Yeah OK I can see that. Superman and Batman are both kept at arms length from humanity due to the whole living god and psychopath thing they have going on. Wonder Woman seems much more approachable to a regular person. We see that after the liberation of Veld. Compare that to the scene where Superman rescues the people from the burning building in Mexico. Supes is pretty approachable, too - he was being friendly to the family of the girl, it's just the people in Mexico were literally bowing and worshiping him when he landed, as opposed to WWs happy dancing and poo poo. Blame the people, not Superman.

A little ironic since Wondy's literally a god. Superman's existence may make it easier for other metahumans to 'come out' since the novelty's worn off, and you won't immediately have people going loving nuts over them. (because everyone's already gone a little bit nuts over Superman one way or another) That he's died and presumably coming back to life probably won't help that much, but I think the idea is that having actual peers will help both Superman and Batman's mental health. They've finally found their people.

People are going to go loving nuts whenever the Martian Manhunter gets brought in, assuming they don't gently caress it up.

Eh. I'm still hoping the DCCU goes with Gal Gadot's suggestion that Diana have a female love interest in WW2. But I'm not optimistic. Took us this long to get a good woman-lead superhero movie, and we won't get a good black-lead one until, hopefully, Black Panther. Much less a queer superhero movie.

One of their biggest queer superheroes doesn't even appear in the new DC logo spread they produced. I don't think that consideration is at all in their mind.

I agree, just Gadot's mentioned in more than one interview that she's been pushing for Diana to be bisexual in the DCCU and have a female love interest in her next movie. I hope, but don't actually expect, that that will happen. Mantis' actress in Guardians 2 said the character was a lesbian, but no chance of that happening on-screen until Guardians 3 at the earliest and she's hardly a headlining movie character anyhow.

Why would Batman fly around in a plane that says "Wayne Technologies" on the side? No wonder everyone knows who Batman really is.

Hell yeah they're going to think this is the Second Coming. Oh yeah, it was great, but Supes didn't go there to be prayed upon. He has this comforting shy little smile focused on the girl's mother/family that evaporates on contact with the swarm. God, MoS and BvS are such fantastic movies. I really hope there's still some of that depth and magic in Justice League. Wonder Woman...didn't really have that, fun as it was.

Oh yeah WW was a really fun movie but I really like the most serious approach that MoS and BvS took. I think it was a lot more "realistic" in terms of how the world would react to someone like Superman or how someone who had been a vigilante crime fighter for 20 years in a crime ridden city would behave.

I really can't trust any working affiliated actor's comments about their soon-to-be-released movie. They willingly lie and deceive (or tell the truth) to get those ticket sales. That's the whole point. You just never know. ...i still love you, Ben Affleck.

I was going to say the same thing, I like Affleck a lot but he'd be making this exact same statement no matter how the movie was turning out because it hasn't been released yet. I don't hold that against him at all, I don't think people realize that these interviews are meant as marketing and not as a frank channel for discussion about how production is going or whatever.

Even for a guy as established as Affleck, one of the surefire ways to stop getting work in the business is to turn a big marketing campaign into your own personal "movie sucks but it's not my fault" tour. Can't blame him for doing what literally every single other actor would do in his place.
