Also, looks like a heavily-tattooed Common (what's up with this flick and tats?) is in it too as... somebody.
Reports are he's playing The Tattooed Man, so it wouldn't make much sense for him to not have any.

The Tattooed Man. Fighting Batman? In a purple car? Alongside Harley Quinn? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Oh brilliant

Oh you guys meant Common. Goddammit, with how looney tunes this movie is, I legit thought the latest rumour was that Jared Leto was playing The Tattooed Man.
Are they previews? I thought they were separate things that won't be in the main movie.
Yeah they're releasing episodes separate from the movie, in the same universe.
We've gotten 3 to start with (Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman) and then a second season with 10 episodes.
I've enjoyed all three quite a bit so far. Especially the Superman one.
I mean, yeah this is a really horrible version of the justice league, but it's kind of the point. I have zero problems with an alternate universe story depicting these sorts of characters.
I don't think this version of the Justice League are necessarily bad people. I think that they're going to be more like soldiers and spies rather than superheroes. I doubt that it'll be dark and edgy for its own sake, except maybe for Batman.
The thing that bugs me the most about the edgy grimdark approach is that people brag about how its so much more "mature" then the "kids movies" that marvel kicks out.
I wish I could articulate to them that you don't have to have a bleak dystopian setting in order to tell a "mature" story, that you can tell one by exploring themes and idea's in a subject in ways that don't require your characters to have DBZ style fights.

I actually really liked the Superman one
Not nearly enough to wash the taste of Batman being a vampire or that Harley Quinn episode out of my mouth though

I would really like the endgame of Gods and Monsters to be a crossover to the JLU universe.

But it's not going to happen.
But it already has in my head.
I kindof thought that's what was happening since Harley expected Bats to take her to jail. I thought it was imposter Bats or alternate universe Bats ruining amok eating villains and the real Bats would have to stop him or some shit.

Read All-Star Superman today! Was mostly excellent. I liked the use of Jor El's flight speech from Man of Steel - is that like an oft quoted thing from old stories or something?
Hated that whole Bizarro arc in the middle though. Everything about Bizarro is just the worst.
Oh brilliant

Holy shit, that Bob Kane tombstone! You could almost make a drinking game out of it; take a drink every time Bob Kane's tombstone mentions Batman.
Ha, the tantalizing slip of the guy's costume was a nice touch, though. It's like Wonder Woman's sexually empowered shtick here infects the very rules of the camera.

Classic Kirk shirt rip. The Wonder Woman short was pretty good, and minus the Mother Box mention and using a Boom Tube wasn't very different from a standard WW story. I'm a big Jack Kirby New Gods fan, but I didn't know anything about Bekka before this. Was she a throw away character, or was there more to her than just being Orion's wife?

I actually really liked that take on Bizarro. The shapeshifting, interdimensional superpredator thing is just so insane and awesome. It, a lot like the rest of All-Star Superman, represents part of why I like comics; the freedom of the medium to explore fucking batshit crazy ideas.

I think it's the backwards meaning talk, y'know? It feels goofy in a bad way. The book was full of other goofy stuff that I had no problem buying into like the super power serum he just comes up with to gift Lois, or the time travel shenanigans. And Lex was a perfect prick. So goood.
Like I said, I think the book as a whole was excellent, and the DC movies should aspire to be more like it. But I can recognize that's a helluva fine line. Bizarro as presented in that book would be poison in a movie, IMO. ;P

Regular Wonder Woman isn't keen on killing dudes like it's a sport and isn't going to get freaky in a room filled with corpses she murdered minutes ago.

That's fair, actually. The Bizarro speak was a little hurdle for me, too. I think it takes a really skilled hand or maybe blind luck to pull off that sort of thing. It's kind of like Yoda in Star Wars. He's quirky in the original trilogy, but some of his lines in the prequels are just unbearably forced.

They sexed and violenced it up, but it's not that far removed from this Brave and the Bold cold open;

He's... a vampire.

But I guess we've already had Man of Steel.
My god, he's disappeared! How did we lose a fifty foot Godzilla Superman - he was right there a moment ago.
Reports are he's playing The Tattooed Man, so it wouldn't make much sense for him to not have any.
They're clearly taking some inspiration from Mark Hamill.
I would guess that this world will end up being more like the MCU than the DCAU.
No, it's totally Shakespearean.
He's really drawing from Timon of Athen's "complete piece of shit" style.
Why I fear the ocean.

As opposed to, say, Justice League War.
Which was just a shit movie with shit characters.
Batman is pretty horrible, though.

But it's not going to happen.
But it already has in my head.
So basically the Justice Lords episodes, except not as well done and without being a component into a larger story arc?

And man, it might not be much but I do hope that the tide can keep turning and eventually people will only associate Bill Finger with Batman.

Before the universe was rebooted though, she wasn't much more than Orion's wife, from what I remember.
