Marvel's Dan Slott Continues Blasting Batman Vs. Superman On Twitter

A couple of hours ago saw Marvel Comics writer Dan Slott voice his thoughts on the new Batman Vs. Superman footage that debuted earlier on Gotham.

Dan isn’t too happy by what he is seeing regarding Superman, and he also wasn’t a big fan of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.

Following Cosmic Book News having made note of what Slott had to say (where he deleted his “I dunno. Do you really think Superman would snap one of his enemy’s necks?” comment), Slott has continued blasting both Batman Vs. Superman and Man of Steel on Twitter as well as having to defend himself against accusations of being a Marvel shill, which sees DC Comics Batman writer Scott Snyder brought into the conversation.

Check out the latest tweets (we’re guessing this may go on all night long):

@dceufacts I’ve seen MAN OF STEEL. And now I’ve seen footage of this trailer. That’s a lot to go on. Sorry if you feel differently.

This is the recent DC trailer that has me the most excited. Because it looks wonderfully trippy and FUN. Can’t wait! https://t.co/FGR4HDb2A4

@TheThreadpool You’re right. It– the other trailer– and all of MAN OF STEEL– aren’t setting a tone at all. Nope. No tone. Move along. 🙂

@nona_sanz @Ssnyder1835 Hi. I also praise DC things: The Flash and Supergirl TV shows (regularly), and, of course, Scott & Greg’s book. 🙂

thanks man – back at you! https://t.co/XoaHo5P14x

Hi. Have we met? I’ve also written a run of Batman Adventures, Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, and issues of Superman & JL Adventures too. 🙂

@jakeriv16 @BatmanvSuperman What’s wrong is the tone they’re selling. In that trailer, the previous trailer, and ALL of MAN OF STEEL.

@TheThreadpool As someone who watched all of Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL, I think I can hazard a guess about Zack Snyder’s BvS. Fair?

@TheThreadpool The cast and OST for MoS are fantastic. The missteps in tone were unforgivable. But for me, SUPERMAN 1 is a perfect movie. 🙂

@DipswitchDan This trailer, last trailer, and all of MAN OF STEEL are pretty good indicators of what kind of tone Zack Snyder will deliver.

“You think all super hero movies should be fun!” No. THE DARK KNIGHT is grim. And brilliant. SUPERMAN movies should be fun & full of hope.

If it’s a movie about Batman vs Superman, Yes, Batman should be Batman. But Superman should BE Superman. Not this. https://t.co/s9jRZBw887

@MrWarMachine12 Understood. But the first trailer wasn’t. And neither was the entire run time of MAN OF STEEL– by the same director.

@EvanGrayM Everything from the ticket sales of Guardians of the Galaxy to the ratings The Flash pulls in every week say differently. 🙂

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@Marcohtx Understood. But the Superman in the first trailer was. And so was the guy in ALL of MAN OF STEEL– by the same director.

@joeaveragepal Their way of running away from the core of one of their most iconic characters, who’s time-tested & beloved around the world.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@Guardians_Comic But we’ve seen the other trailer too. And the entirety of MAN OF STEEL. All by the same director. The tone for Supes is off

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 1, 2015

@Kayne_Martin The other trailer wasn’t. Neither was the entirety of MAN OF STEEL. All by the same director. Their tone for Superman is off.

@Guardians_Comic That’s not Superman. That’s an Elseworlds. Superman inspires. It’s who he is down to his core.
