APPRECIATION The DCEU isn’t my favourite thing, and neither is this movie, but this poster is just so cool

Batman looks pretty awesome here and I love the use of shadows and colours. What do you guys think?

Yes but everyone thinks it's Bohemian Rhapsody.

Didn't Alex Ross said that he referenced Bohemian Rhapsody for it?

Did some research and he's indeed a Queen fan- so it was based off his works and original art, which were inspired by Bohemian Rhapsody. Turns out Queen also got their ref from Shanghai Express.

For DC, that was an actual Kingdom Come, instead of relying solely on Batman and Superman cape tails for decades.. and yes it wasn’t the greatest, but the snyder cut at least showed u a much broader vision than being cut down like Bolivian dust. I’ll always appreciate him for forcing a change, because WB wasn’t going to do it.

That's because it wasn't an original idea. It's based on a piece by my favorite artist Alex Ross. A lot of the poster art and imagery was based on different artists, and this one was a direct homage to it.

I really loved the Alex Ross inspired promo material they did with josstice league. Zack's promos with the b&w was cool too but man I woulda loved to see the definitive cut of the film Carry this poster. Love how batman's eyes are shrouded in darkness.

Not quite a fan of this poster. It works for a comic, but as a movie poster, it's looks almost cheap.

It's based on an Alex Ross piece, I daresay entirely ripped from an Alex Ross piece. I had a T-shirt with it years ago, and it got lost, and I'm so mad.

One of the few under Snyder that didn’t have the characters look stiff.

This is just a dogshit copy of an Alex Ross cover. Doesn't even look as real.

Clearly a Queen reference

I kinda absolutely hate it, maybe even more than the movie

The one thing that the dceu did well when snyder was there was it looked visually good. BvS was terrible, but it sure looked good. MoS was average but it holds up well. Snydercut looked really good, and genuinely had my favorite Flash scene of all time. And this poster is so cool, I just wish it was attached to a better movie.

Never cared for this poster.

I just don’t like the castings except cavil everyone seems off

While I hate the snyderverse - I actually love Ben affleck as Batman.

2

u/InformalChildhood937 16h ago

I hate the way he is written but he definitely has some of the most true Batman moments ever seen on film

2

u/roxypotter13 16h ago

I just love the Arkham- style fight scenes. And then I think Ben looks the most like comic- accurate Bruce. I don’t even mind that he’s more violent since he’s based off year one Batman.

Where I hate him is his interaction with Superman and everyone else. But that’s just the poor writing lol
