Movie has been rated by the Eirin board with 'G' in Japan.

G-Rating is for "all general audiences regardless of age."
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

I'm surprised how they've kept secret who is the final villain until now. Usually he appears in the poster.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Hopefully this movie will be received very well and we can see them do other character-centric movies/TV series. I think it would be unseemly to release a movie under the Dragon Ball Super label and just name the project after the characters.

But without Super, how are Bandai Namco, Toei, Bandai (yes, there's a difference, Bandai Namco makes video games and stuff, Bandai makes Toys) and Shueisha supposed to milk the cash cow that is the Dragon Ball franchise? Am I really supposed to believe that Super Dragon Ball Heroes is THAT profitable?
I don't really know much about DBH, but I do know this: the fact that is has received multiple seasons - I'm talking its anime, not the games - is in my opinion, a bad sign. The original manga was, on some level, about telling a story. It initially began as a gag series, but it did develop dignity as it went and Toriyama tried to tell some sorta story. I can't say the same about DBS and I sure as fuck can't say the same about DBH's anime, which exists to serve the lowest common denominator of Dragon Ball fans: the ones who think the series should be only fights, only explosions and energy beams, and nothing else.

I know that image is a joke but it looks terrifying. I'd hate...almost ALL of that.

Nope, it's 100 minutes long.

Interesting idea, but personally I'd replace a movie about someone useless like Yamcha and make a movie about an important character like Zamasu. It always feels like there was room to expand on Zamasu's backstory, either as a North Kai (when he saw many examples of mortals being stupid) or as Goku Black (when he destroyed many civilizations before coming to Earth).

You know I don't see why people here are so antagonistic towards your idea. Before this movie was announced, people here would just tell you "it's not Dragon Ball if it's not centred around Goku". But with this movie, that ignores Goku to focus on Gohan and Piccolo, we now know that it is possible to make DB stories where Goku doesn't matter. And so your idea seems like a natural route to extend the franchise without surpassing the End of Z, which Toriyama always felt was a reasonable conclusion for the story of Goku.
At his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

No he won't. Never had a problem with Toriyama's designs, so I'm sure it'll look fine.

DB is at it's best when you have the entire cast bouncing off each other. Most of these character-focused movies from this picture could be merged into just one or two big ones. Great Saiyaman for example, like we already saw him 20 times, no need for an entire movie here doing the same. Uub's role in the Moro arc is minimal, not sure why the picture's author even titled it like it was his arc.

It comes off as too Marvel-ish.

Well, it's not my idea, it's someone else's fan work. As for the Uub movie, if I remember the author said it was a demonic-themed project in which Moro would return as the main villain again. Keep in mind that Moro may be alive in other timelines.

Also, would totally love if they made something like "How Future Trunks got his sword" with some incredible story behind it, still in the apocalyptic future btw. And a look at the the Future Teen Gohan if possible.
