There was an early Man of Steel trailer that fooled me by including the things I hoped to see and basically lying about the tone of the film.

Maybe he realized his vision of Justice League Dark would be too fun and cheery for the DC films.

Del Toro has an unfortunate tendency to rave about his upcoming projects when they are in no way definitely happening yet. I don't think it's out of an unrealistic optimism or a tendency to have more unrealized projects than other creators so much as the fact that he's so unabashedly in love with the work he's doing…

I'd like to thank the studio for not wasting del Toro's efforts on those films. I mean, sure, they'd be better than Peter Jackson's (or what I saw of them, I was too bored to even finish The Hobbit, Part 1 of a 17-Film Crapstravaganza), but it would still have been an adaptation of the weakest story in an overrated…

I was worried when it was announced he wasn't writing or directing, but yeah, this is not yet cause for worry.

Im so glad he didn't end up doing either the Hobbit or Justice League movies that I can't give two shits about. They just aren't my cup of nerddom. The Spanish Civil War, fairy tales, kaiju, Hellboy… all of these however are right in my wheelhouse. My totally nerdy wheelhouse.

Ugh, no. Burton needs to be stopped. Del Toro is a national treasure. (Not my nation's, though.)

I'm American and if you say anything bad about Del Toro I will set you on fire.

Brian Williams has been added to the list of people I wouldn't mind seeing get punched in the face, preferably by the ghost of Leonard Cohen.

Fuck you, Internet. I would rather watch a Trump speech, and that's saying a lot.

I disagree. Maybe he could have had a decent career making music videos or something, but his action scenes are as ludicrous (albeit in a different way) as Michael Bay's. Having a distinctive style doesn't necessarily make you any good.

And in trash cans.

I love both, and can't wait for this one.

"Snyder is terrible"

"My parents were killed by a thief with a gun so I'm super into guns now. Shoot shoot shoot. I had my first orgasm when my father and mother were shot in front of me. I thought I had peed at first but it was different. Special. Pure. That gun made me who I am, and that gun is who I aspire to be. I'm the Batman."

I laughed, and not with it, but at it.

MUST!!!! SPAWN!!!!!!!!!

And why say "bio-organic" when you could just call them… human parts? What is he made out of, slaughterhouse slush piles and animatronic Disney presidents?

I haven't seen BVS or Suicide Squad! Saw Man of Steel though, in a fit of poor judgment.

I keep saying I'm going to hatewatch it while hatetweeting it and drinking far too much whiskey but even then the idea of actually viewing it on purpose is a hard one to sit down for.
