because it is very important, it is written separately:
This film is a follow-up to "Superman: Man of Steel", and has nothing to do with Nolan's Dark Knight series;
"This movie is not that work ("The Dark Knight Returns") Adaptation";
"I used Miller's The Dark Knight Returns to guide me, don't make Superman like that";
-- original words
from director Zach Snyder Back in 2013, director Zack Snyder announced that he would Shooting a Superman movie, but because of the popularity of Batman, the news of Batman has always been very concerned, and many people think that this will be a Batman movie. But after the preview came out, it was obvious that this was indeed a superhuman-centric movie, and what happened here was developed on the basis of the previous one. But star Henry Cavill said that this is not a Superman sequel, this is a Superman/Batman movie, and it is indispensable.
To sum up the theme of "Man of Steel" in one word can probably be "choice", and the trailer of Dawn of Justice can be summed up as "contradictory", for and against, light and dark, Batman and Superman are all contradictory, facing each other. In such a complicated situation, Superman must be full of contradictions in his heart.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
The trailer begins with a narration from many people, showing how the world treats Superman in different ways. There are different attitudes, some positive, some negative and some neutral.
[Neutral]
Is it really surprising that the most powerful man in the world should be a figure of controversy?
Is it any wonder that the strongest man in the world has become the focus of controversy?
(The speaker is Charlie Rose, an American anchor and a famous talk show host and reporter. His interviews are more serious and professional than the average entertainment talk show.)
We're talking about a being, whose very existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe.
The person we are talking about challenges what we humans think of as unique in this universe.
(The speaker is Neil deGrasse Tyson, an American astronomer known for his work in science communication who hosts many popular science programs. He tweeted: I will not admit nor deny that you are teasing It's my voice that I hear in here. It's definitely him.)
They are not telling us the truth. They are not telling us the truth
.
[Positive]
We as a population on this planet have been looking for a saviour.
The people of our planet have been looking for a saviour.
He brought us a warrior. He brought us a warrior
. (This sentence may not be accurate)
Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing
.
【Negative】
Humans have a terrible track record of following people with great power
.
Tragedy.
Tragedy.
He is out of control.
He cannot be controlled.
Power corrupts, and absolutely power corrupts absolutely
.
(The speaker is Hawley Hunt, rumored to be playing a senator, it should be true, and he is higher in the cast and has a lot of scenes)
Terror. Chaos.
Fear. confusion.
The world has been so caught up in what he can do, that no-one has asked what he should do
.
The speaker was again Hawley Hunt.
We know better now don't we. Devil's don't come from Hell beneath us. They come from the sky. We know better now
. The devil does not come from the hell underfoot. They are from heaven.
The speaker is Lex Luthor.
Alien!
Alien!
This is our planet. This is our planet
.
Go Home! Go Home! Go Home! Go
back! Get back! Get back!
The cry of the crowd.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
"Darkness" has become a stereotype since Nolan's Batman , but Zack Snyder has a style of its own, with strong tones, and this preview feels not dark, but reality. Movies are like a mirror, reflecting our attitude towards this kind of problem in reality. More subtly, the controversy in the movie is exactly what the audience discussed after "Man of Steel" was released. Some see him as a savior, some see him as an alien, the two outcomes that Joe-El and Lara foresee on Krypton coexist. Moreover, the two hosts who appeared in the trailer are likely to play themselves in the movie, which is not only necessary for the plot, but also a voice for the position of the masses in the real world.
Lex Luthor's position is very clear, he said "We know better [now]", it may be that he used some kind of conspiracy to discredit the image of Superman, and then he started to stir up the masses who don't know the truth. However, some people say "They are not telling us the truth." Although they don't know what the truth refers to, at least some people know it, and in the end, Superman's grievances are washed away.
Hawley Hunt was obviously wary of Superman's power, and she turned the topic to "what he should do", as if she wanted to use the will of the crowd as a threat to force Superman to stand on her side.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
The first picture is a statue of Superman.
The tower crane can be seen on the left side of the screen, which may be the Metropolis that is still being rebuilt. As you can see from the building behind the sculpture, the scene is Millennium Park in Chicago in the real world. Metropolis is based on New York, but filmed in Chicago. The building behind the statue is Chicago's busiest Loop, and the center of the destruction of the galactic engine in Man of Steel.
Now that the statue has been built, the government must still recognize Superman's actions to save the world. There are rumors that Luthor incited a lot of people, but he said that the president could not move, because the president is a supporter of Superman. And Congressman Hawley Hunt will definitely be a black-faced character who will set off a game in American politics. Judging from the last episode, Superman's attitude towards the government is both disdain and distrust. Director Zach talked about his use of The Dark Knight Returns as a negative teaching material, instructing him not to make Superman what it is. Therefore, Superman may be used by the government under conspiracy and deceit, but he will never be a government lackey that obeys orders. He will always try his best to stand on the side of justice.
It had just rained in the metropolis, and there were still dark clouds in the sky, maybe after the war? However, the preview footage may not appear in the feature film, so it may not be related to the plot, just a concept.
The picture is getting closer and closer, and the lights are turned on to see that the 11 stone tablets behind the statue are full of words, which may be the names of the victims.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Next shot, Superman surrounded by a crowd:
some of the face paintings are very eye-catching The people who have become skeletons, these people are all yellow skin and black hair, and there are red decorations in the background. It can be inferred that this scene should be the "Day of the Dead" of the Mexican Indians, which is on November 1 and 2 of the Gregorian calendar. Every day starts at 12 noon, so this picture is at dusk. It seems that the simple natives regard him as a god and want to stain his aura. It is indeed very similar to "A Realm of Peace", but the ideas expressed are different. In "A Realm of Peace", Superman faces the horror of the crazy crowd, while the crowd here is reverent, Superman faces the sunset, and his expression is very confused.
It is also revealed here that the time for the film to occur is roughly around October and November. The first shot can see rain and falling leaves, which also coincides with this time. The big event of "Man of Steel" happened in summer, which was a fierce and restless season, while the Dawn of Justice happened in autumn, and it was rainy, which was a cold and depressing season. Perhaps this was also deliberately done by the producers to match the theme.
In the back shot, someone reached out and waved Superman in the air, which seems to be happening here judging from the clothes.
In addition, from this close-up, you can also see that Superman's cape is different from before. It is different from the previous velvet texture. The texture of thick lines is more obvious, and the texture of reality is more obvious.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Superman is holding up a machine - this is not Superman from The Dark Knight Returns Stop the nuclear bomb.
This is the Russian Soyuz TMA-15M rocket, which can carry 3 people. The escape tower is still there, so there should be astronauts in it.
Official photographer Clay Enos thought it was an Easter egg, and the number on the rocket was "300" upside down, paying homage to Zack Snyder's "300 Spartans." In fact, he also misunderstood, it said "Союз" in Russian, because the angle problem looks like 003, which means "Soyuz".
The film should be based on the November 24, 2014 rocket launch of 3 astronauts from the Russian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, and NASA into the International Space Station. Of course, the launch was successful in reality, but it failed in the movie. The Russian launch site was in flames, but Superman rescued the spacecraft part and the astronauts survived.
When filming just started, there were rumors that the Atlantis space shuttle was found in the production office. It was probably planning a hero rescue plot, and finally chose this one.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Several soldier-like people kneel to Superman:
This is the most Incredible plot. Kneeling out of obedience, but who are they? what happened?
This is an underground bunker, and the S mark on the shoulder indicates that it is a "Superman Legion", but of course it is not formed by Superman, because he has no such ambition and drive. The shadow is too heavy to see Superman's expression, but from the perspective of the action, he is surprised to see this amazing scene just after landing. The soldiers are well-equipped and well-organized, but they don't look like American soldiers in their attire, and their helmets look like Nazis. Also, the faces of these soldiers are exactly the same, black because they are wearing bulletproof masks.
Don't know much about firearms, and can't see clearly, but the gun the soldier uses is very similar to the CS/LS-5, and it's made in... China. This is a general-purpose 9mm submachine gun that integrates anti-terrorism and anti-riot functions specially developed for police and security forces. The country of use is our country's special forces.
However, the tick marks on the back seem to be in feet, so it should have nothing to do with China. I hope it doesn't matter, otherwise the trial will still be a problem. There was an unconvincing rumor before that China was against Superman and would not allow Superman to fly into Chinese airspace.
Many people see this scene and they are playing Injustice... Injustice... I don't think the producers refer to Injustice at all. These things are the inevitable result of the development of the plot to a certain stage. "Injustice" is a work that has just come out in the past two years. It is basically the same time period as the film's production. Besides, the film must complete the script before it can start shooting, so it is not convenient for reference. There are many masterpieces in "Return", there is really no need to take this plot developed for the big fight game as a reference. Just like "Man of Steel" and the new 52, they both discarded the setting of "underwear and outerwear", but the world is developed independently, and no one refers to anyone. In terms of content, the core of Injustice is that Metropolis is destroyed, and Superman becomes a tyrant. The experience of Superman in the Injustice League is completely different from that of Superman here, and he has no such ambition and motivation. Besides, he has to lead the Justice League, Superman. Never black out.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
The huge scarlet letter "FALSE GOD" on the chest of the sculpture:
This is obvious, the anti-Superman people graffiti on the sculpture to mock him as a "pseudo-god". The studio news revealed that after the graffiti is found, someone will clean it up, and there are still people who love Superman, which is also a contradiction. But the statue was eventually destroyed, presumably out of anger by the deceived masses. In the set photos, we can also see that many people offered yellow flowers to the sculpture fragments. I hope that after the truth is revealed, people will express their gratitude and apology to him, especially those who have graffitied and smashed the statues can come. . The feeling of being wronged and being understood can really infect the audience's emotions.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
That's how it starts. The fever. The rage. The feeling of powerlessness. Turning good men......... cruel.
It's always like that. fanaticism. anger. A feeling of powerlessness. Makes good people... cruel.
Butler Alfred's words. Judging from the content, he seems to be discussing that the anti-Superman sentiment of the masses led to violent incidents, possibly smashing sculptures or something. At this time, Batman probably knew some untrue news like everyone else, thinking that Superman had done something bad, and Fu's original intention was to persuade him to restrain himself and deal with it calmly.
There's actually a misdirection in the editing that the flash can be seen on Bruce's face, when he should be looking at the screen, not the bat uniform. Some netizens found that there is a costume behind him, which may be the relic of the second-generation Robin. The Batman here has retired for a while, maybe it is an old bat suit, and the one in the movie is a new design. But why does it feel like it's hanging up? Possibly on the table.
Then there's the bat uniform. have nothing to say. This is recognized as the most restored version of the comics Batman uniform.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Batman standing under a building:
Then this scene many people think is the final battle between Superman and Zod in Man of Steel. In fact, the shooting location of the final battle was Union Station in Chicago. There was no such layout. It was very obvious that the architectural style was different. There were vertical stripes on the columns of the station. The shooting location should be somewhere in Detroit. From the trailer, you can see that the roof is leaking rain, and at this time, he is wearing heavy armor. It should be in Gotham when the super bat is fighting. Or arrange the mechanism before the battle, and the hand may be some kind of weapon.
The graffiti on the pillar has sparked a lot of speculation. The most obvious one is the question mark of the riddleman on the left, which is very standard and should be an easter egg. The MONA on the right column is very prominent and may refer to Mona Taylor, the queen of spades of a royal flush. The symbol "Joe+Kayla" appears twice. The HWFC within the four leftmost squares is also evident. Some netizens speculated that Joe was referring to Joe Chill, the murderer who killed the Waynes and his wife. I don't think I would set an easter egg for this kind of role. It is more likely that most of these graffiti are tributes to real-life comic authors or other people who have made special contributions, such as the Sullivan garage in Man of Steel, Wessinger Elementary School, and so on.
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- The tail shape of the bat
plane
is exactly the same as that of the bat car. It should be the bat plane. In terms of shape, it is probably an unmanned aircraft to be more precise. Batman in "Kingdom Comes" uses remote control machines to maintain law and order, and there have been rumors of drones before.
The filming location was supposed to be in Windsor, Detroit.
The next scene is quite strange. The plane opened fire and killed two people: (There is also a gang, the person who was in the car just now disappears in the next frame) Judging from the equipment, these two people should not be good people, but Batman shouldn't kill people, and even if he really breaks the ring, he shouldn't blow up two people so directly. Maybe it's not Batman who controls the plane at all, but Luthor or someone else with ulterior motives, whose purpose is to blame Batman. Batman's hostility to Superman can be interpreted as wariness of absolute power, but Superman is a farm boy and there must be good reasons for him to hate someone, and maybe this is one of them. But this is obviously not enough. There must be Luthor who is interfering with it, rendering Batman as a terrorist who is a great threat to the safety of the people. When things are too big, it is worthy of Superman to come forward. From the first photo released, it can be seen that the Batmobile has a certain deformation function, but the degree of deformation is unknown
.
Some netizens speculate that the Batmobile can be turned into a Batplane. Personally, it is unrealistic. This is a real car designed and manufactured by General Motors.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Batman's first appearance:
Batman can be seen appearing in his clothes There are several circular dents, probably traces left by bullets, and his normal version of the uniform is also bulletproof.
The cement fragments, fireworks, and exposed steel bars in the picture are very similar to the scene of Wonder Woman's makeup photo. Maybe this is the final battle, and Wonder Woman is also involved. The scene of the big three fighting side by side may soon become a reality.
Batman on the platform:
holding a sniper rifle. Batman rarely uses a gun, this one is very similar to the one in "The Dark Knight Returns", which is used in the comics to deal with military police and Harvey Waiter. But not for killing people.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
It's an important moment for the super-bat battle:
there is a street light in the background, probably to restore the comics, and Batman pulls a wire from the line of the street light to shock Superman.
Regarding the question of who will win Batman v Superman, the comments on the Internet are also contradictory: one side says "How can Batman beat Superman", and the other side says "How can Superman beat Batman". It can be seen from previous interviews that the director still prefers Superman. Henry Cavill also said that Superman is not even injured. The result may be that Superman has been hit unexpectedly, but when Batman's mechanism is almost used, Superman has the upper hand. Of course, Superman won't kill Batman. Maybe the fight will stop at the stalemate stage. , it is rumored that their battle is not over, it may be that they discovered the truth of mutual misunderstanding, or were interrupted by something, and then faced a bigger threat together. In the end, they will definitely shake hands and make peace. Their legend has only just begun, and an extraordinary beginning will continue an extraordinary friendship.
