Superman / Batman - the movie (2015)

They all have their own charm.

I'm sorry but they'll only be one superman to me and that's Christopher Reeves. Can't they put him in it with CGI? I refuse to watch superman without him in it.

Your relationship with reeves goes back a long way i see, mC.

sounds like cranston playing luthor is bullshit.

confession: as much as I like him, especially at the start of Breaking Bad, I don't think Cranston is a very versatile actor.

 

I think h'es become a bit comfortable in his Walt role, and he was pretty crappy in Drive and whatever else I've seen him in.

i sort of agree. he's great as walt, but i'm not sure about his range beyond that character. that's not to say he wouldn't make a good villain, although i have a feeling he'd just be playing walt playing lex luthor. i'm sure people would eat that up, but i'm not interested.

mark strong seems like a solid choice. he's very lizard like in body of lies, i'd be interested to see him playing a supervillain.

Superheroes are so fucking dumb. And Batman is the dumbest.

 

If you are trying to analyze this shit or are butthurt about the casting, you're a moron. I don't usually say this, but grow the fuck up.

 

This shit is a joke. An expensive, lucrative joke.

Although this may upset a lot of fans, I actually have to agree. Anything Marvel or DC is pretty much shit. A bunch of guys wearing tights and capes with masks on who are being taken seriously is a retarded delusion.

it may be a retarded delusion but its been handed down from our grandfathers to our fathers to us and its not like most of the clothes people wear is much of an improvement over full body tights anyways

I agree, superhero movies are escapist trash.

 

Anyone catch that animated version of Beowulf? Talk about cool!

LoL. If you're taking about the 3D animated Beowolf, I hope your joking.

So were my myopia and poor eating habits. And full body tights look dumb on everyone except Scarlett Johansson and Halle Berry.

 

I might like superhero movies if they were more imaginative and really went balls out with the concept but anime does a much better job when I want those buttons pushed. These movies seem to be most appreciated boys and man-boys who want to feel big and strong by vicariously living through characters with boring personalities but exaggerated muscles and phallic accessories.

 

The main reason Batman is so stupid is how singularly humorless and "dark" (like an angsty teen) he's supposed to be. And when I point this out to fans, they say things like, "How would you feel if someone killed your parents in front of you as a kid", as if 1) people who have traumatic experiences permanently lose the ability to laugh or be light hearted about anything and 2) Bruce Wayne is an actual person.

 

What a bland, 2-dimensional and patronizing character, and testosterone starved audiences lap it up.

Why the hate for Cranston? He's not just a dramatic actor; Malcolm n the Middle, How I Met Your Mother, and King of Queens showed his range as a comedic genius. A sense of humor always helps establish a great bad guy.

you apparently missed the last fifty years of comics. nice try though, you aren't a professional cunt like me.

If you'd like to offer up some counter examples I'd be glad to give them a shot. I'm just speaking about the superhero movies that have come out in the last decade or so. I know enough insecure guys into this shit to see the obvious pattern. I realize there are comics that break this mold - the ones that resonate with me happen to be Japanese, and don't have conventional muscle headed superheroes.

 

Being a pro cunt sounds like a sweet gig.

Marvel and DC ain't got shit on the Akira manga, that's for sure

just stumbled across Ben Afflecks 1984 tv series about being bored on a boat. they made us watch this at school

this is definitely Affleck at his peak

Rumour is that Joaquin Phoenix is being courted for the villain (Lex Luthor, surely).

 

It'd be a thrill to see Phoenix do a big CGI action movie and I think, if he found the right zone, he'd make a great Lex Luthor. Certainly more threatening than those of Hackman and Spacey.

 

But I think that Phoenix might enjoy turning down a big action movie more than being in one. So, they'll presumably have to throw an record-breaking amount of money at him... which might only make him more resolute in turning it down.

 

It's an interesting rumour. One of the only interesting things I've heard surrounding this movie.

I just watched man of steel for the first time.

 

A few things annoyed me such as zod telling them they have 24 hours to hand over cal. Like he knows what hours are! He should have said "you have one planetary revolution" or some shit like that. Also, did krypronians speak English? Their scenes should have been subtitled.

 

Other than that it was quite good. The shaky zoomy camera bits annoyed me but I enjoyed all the krypton scenes.

 

The sequel could be really great or really shit.

does anyone else think it's weird that they would hire the same guy who's superman movie got a 50% on rotten tomatoes to helm WB's attempt to create an entire DC universe series of movies? Did it really do that well at the box office? The reviews for it were horrendous as they should have been, it was a very terrible film

I wrote something much more angry but I'll simply replace it with, how can one say 'grow the fuck up' about american superhero comics but also be a self professed semi japanophile and still be taken seriously?

Edited December 28, 2013 by John Ehrlichman

Who cares about rotten tomatoes, it was the best superhero film of the year. The fights went on for a bit long and i had a couple of foibly gripes with the thing, but other than that was all good. As for being 'adult' and moving in that direction, ultimately superman is a childhood fantasy franchise man. As is the DC universe. It only wades as deep as early to mid teenagers mind would. I would say this about the vertigo catalogue as well, perhaps late teen for some less developed brains. But seriously then ridiculing someone for being a japanophile as though that denotes lashings of the infant primitive.

 

loe 'el

 

Perhaps i didn't quite understand where you were coming from in your post, if this is the case, i apologize. You did rush out the post a little more quickly than you usually would. heh. [-;

 

Also, just cause i didn't mind the tone of the film and enjoyed it over all, doesn't mean i trust anyone from hollywood to not fuck something up in their next project. Always sceptical
