[DC Movies] Finally, Billy Dee Williams gets to be Two-Face.

After years of inexplicably sitting back and letting Marvel hog the spotlight, Warner Bros. and DC are finally making a theatrical universe of their own. These movies include:
Man of Steel. We've already seen this one, with Henry Cavill going on a quest for self, encountering a few surviving Kryptonians and causing billions of dollars in damage. Cavill is coming back for...
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He'll be joined by Ben Affleck as Batman and Jesse Eisenberg as an oddly wacky Lex Luthor. Here's the official synopsis:
As the trailers spoiled, that threat that needs punching is Doomsday. Also Darkseid is hinted at for some point in the future.
Trailers! In release order:
https://youtu.be/bha24P9uw-E
https://youtu.be/fis-9Zqu2Ro
https://youtu.be/eX_iASz1Si8
That last trailer was released about the same time Deadpool became increasingly likely to make bank. The tonal difference in that trailer from the rest is pure coincidence, I'm sure.
Also the entire Justice League was confirmed to be in the movie practically at the same time the flick was announced. It's being helmed by Zack Snyder, the same person who did MoS, for better or worse. Next up is...
Suicide Squad. Just like in the comics, Amanda Waller gathers baddies Deadshot (Will Smith, no less), Rick Flag, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Enchantress, Katana, Slipknot, Killer Croc and El Diablo, all of whom have crap written on their costumes and/or faces, and forces them to go on a dangerous government mission. It will involve Jared Leto's heavily tattooed Joker and a massively spoiled guest hero pretty much everyone already guessed.

Wonder Woman. Let's hope Gal Gadot was good in her extended time on Bats v Supes, because she'll have her own movie next. Supposedly it's set over several time periods, including the first world war, as she battles against Ares.
After that is:
Justice League Part One
The Flash
Aquaman
Shazam
Justice League Part Two
Cyborg
Green Lantern
Though the situation seems to be constantly evolving.
Man of Steel. We've already seen this one, with Henry Cavill going on a quest for self, encountering a few surviving Kryptonians and causing billions of dollars in damage. Cavill is coming back for...
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He'll be joined by Ben Affleck as Batman and Jesse Eisenberg as an oddly wacky Lex Luthor. Here's the official synopsis:
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s "most revered, modern-day savior," while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
As the trailers spoiled, that threat that needs punching is Doomsday. Also Darkseid is hinted at for some point in the future.

Also Joker's grill is probably the worst of the overdesign philosophy that the movie is apparently adopting.

He looks like a goomba from that hilariously awful Mario Bros. movie

Like Superman wouldn't just tear them all to pieces in an instant.
"Quick, get Deadshot and the Joker! We need to stop Superm-- oh wait they're dead. They're all dead. Necks broken, every last one."
Nah it will turn out the suicide squad was in Metropolis when the shit went down and they all died in the catastrophe, Amanda Waller will then be shot in the face because they wanted to have a bit of fun with the character.
"Also, it looks like someone with heat vision carved "HAHAHA" into the walls behind them.
"And then knocked the whole building down."
"And then ripped the roof off the White House and grabbed the president right out of the Oval Office."
What I'm saying here, ladies and gentlemen, is that I for one welcome our new Kryptonian overlord.
"That only works with Batman, you idiot."
-A guy who shoots guns.
-A guy who throws fuckin' boomerangs.
-A guy who can summon fire.
-A girl with a baseball bat.
-A crocodile man whose powers are presumably "sharp teeth and above normal strength".
-A girl with as of yet undisclosed magic powers.
Precisely ONE of those people has any shot in hell of stopping Superman. And that's assuming this Superman even has the weakness to magic. Unless you're giving the rest of the group kryptonite bullets/boomerangs/bats/teeth, they aren't going to do jack shit.
It seems marginally understandable to me in the sense that the US military is basically throwing their hands up in the air and going "I guess this is as close as we're going to get to dudes with superman-like powers that we can also coerce into doing whatever we want". The Superman bit in the trailer may even just be a line the guy is throwing out to try to scare tactics his way into forming the squad for other, real purposes.

Two girls have magic powers. Katana can trap souls in her sword, the hard part is getting it to stab Superman. Which I wouldn't recommend as a first defense.
Diablo might be threat, but he's still out of his weight class.
Superman is weak to magic, but, ultimately, Superman's powers are still derived from the yellow sun and his Kryptonian physiology. Flames would do nothing to him since they're just magically conjured fire.
The sword might, assuming Superman has a soul (not sure if that's canon?)
Superman isn't invincible, certainly not Cavill's. It depends on how hot his flames can get, if he can get it high enough he should be able to burn him. The problem is - can he get that high with temperature and can he do it before Superman kills him? Odds are not on his side here. Heat vision is going to be a bitch to get around.
I'm positive Superman has a soul, ok it's debatable Cavill's does.
Katana: "I'll kill you with my magic sword!"
*Superman flies over her head beyond her reach, burns her to cinders in an instant*
no seriously, Supes could wipe out the entire suicide squad while getting dressed in the morning
It's okay! If he flies up, they can shoot him and throw boomerangs at him!
He'd have to get hotter than a star, though.
I dunno about that, I didn't think DCEU Kryptonians were that strong. Ordinary missiles knock them out cold.
No one's denying that, but they may not be completely useless. Of course they need to get really, really lucky and pray they get Cavill on a bad day where his IQ drops to double digits. Which happens. The wild card is Enchantress, we don't know her capabilities yet.
Superman doesn't have to do much to kill the Suicide Squad. most of them barely register as a blip, much less an actual threat.

Capt Boomerang: "Oi, Superman, have some KRYPTONITE boomerangs!"
*Supes casually steps out of range, burns him to cinders in an instant*
Cavill's Superman isn't that smart.
*Boomerang returns to a pile of ash. *
"What... what the fuck?! They know I'm faster than a speeding bullet, right? And they're throwing a boomerang at me? And... that woman only has a baseball bat! It's not even metal, it's just wood. Who the fuck do they think I am, 1940's Green Lantern? How do they honestly think any of this crap is going to killassasdflafjd;ja;l".
Pretty much the end of TDK:R
"I could've made you mortal Clark. I'm stronger than you'll ever be. I win." is what he was saying in his speech.
Superman is vulnerable to regular fire, especially this one should be. This isn't Routh's Superman where nothing can touch him except Kryptonite. It's the temperature that needs to be high enough to hurt him. Ordinary missiles knocked out Kryptonians in MoS, they're not unkillable.
