I mean he flat out kills a guy just for being near him. And....Shazam really needs to be in this. Hey, Disney made a movie featuring Cruella De Vil.

Starlord Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 I have seen 3 trailers of this new version of Batman, and I believe I will definitely be seeing it as soon as it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zslane Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 I haven't seen a really good DC movie since Wonder Woman. The new Batman movie will do very well financially, that much I am sure, but I remain unconvinced that it will turn out to be a good movie on par with Wonder Woman. And by "good" I mean good story, good pacing, consistent tone, characters that make sense and have an arc, etc. The visuals look pretty amazing, but Zack Snyder has demonstrated repeatedly that stunning visuals alone do not make for a good movie.

Scott Ruggels Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 There haven't been very many good scripts since 2005, and even less so since 2018, so The only thing to look at is the visuals. Enjoy! Christopher R Taylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning the evil villains into "misunderstood quasi-Heroes" has been an ongoing theme of both Hollywood as well as US comics for years so this isn't a stretch. They make a "Good HEROES" movie and do block busters, then they do a sequel that is still "Good HEROES" and the trend continues. They do "not heroes" and the first movie does fantastic because it was a "Superhero Movie", but the sequel under performs and things slide after that. The overall effect is obvious to real people but seems to escape the twit/social media 'verse. People flock to entertaining movies with HEROES that are on the side of doing good. While the audience will enjoy a monster/bad guy movie that portrays a bad guy as bad and will be ultimately defeated. But they tend to avoid sermonizing movies or movies that glorify evil as good. Or arrogance as virtue. Like when they falsely compare Captain Marvel to Top Gun. In Top Gun Cruise played an a$$ that literally everyone except his backseater hated. The movie portrayed (that portrayal being good or bad depending on the viewer) the journey of pilot from arrogant idiot to humbled self-aware professional. What some would call the Heroes Journey with the lessons painfully beaten into him including being the reason his arguably only real friend died due to his arrogance. Captain Marvel has none of than, she is simply perfect at all times. Captain Marvel was just a arrogant a$$ that discovered they were overpowered and became an overpowered arrogant a$$. Nothing in her personality or actions changed from start to finish. I guess the only difference in personality and behavior after breaking free from their control was who she decided to target as "bad guys". Every time she appears in any show it is as a arrogant and self important B. Not even trying to use basic courtesies because all should kowtow to perfection. Such a great character destroyed by poor writers and political agenda. pinecone, Scott Ruggels and Iuz the Evil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DC insist on changing the name that a character has had for seven decades, that would have been a far more appropriate one than a name the character can't even say to anyone.

Jhamin Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 CW superhero shows are often really great for a season, OK for like 2 more, then get stupid.

Bazza Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Latest rumour is that upcoming Flashpoint film will decanonise Zack Snyder’s DCEU films and replace Supes & Bats with Supergirl & Batgirl. pinecone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I believe the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Well, we know that Michael Keaton's Batman is training his replacement, Batgirl, in Flashpoint; sort of a riff on Batman Beyond. And we also know that a Latino Supergirl has been cast, though I'm not sure where she is supposed to first appear. After all, we're not going to see Cavill or Affleck in their roles ever again, so they have to fill the "Supes" and "Bats" roles with other actors in any event. Mat Reeve's Batman isn't part of any cinematic universe, and Gadot's Wonder Woman is on the verge of irrelevance. That leaves Aquaman and the Flash barely holding what remains of the so-called DCEU together, so I'm not even sure there is a cinematic universe left to decanonize.

pinecone Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I watched this, it is not Great, but it has promise. If they can suicide squad it a little more then it might go someplace. They are getting to use "off brand" chars like Vigillante, and Judo Master, so I find hope in that. I hope the story links up with Blue Beetle somewhere though.....

Christopher R Taylor Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I have resigned myself to realizing nobody is going to do the Suicide Squad right because they think they need the BIG SUPER MASSIVE EPIC story instead of a tight thriller like Dirty Dozen of bad guys forced to work together. Sooner or later its going to dawn on Hollywood that you can do any story in a Superhero setting, that its not genre, its more like set dressing or time period.

Even the MCU from the beginning. Yes, the MCU in the first few phases was awesome, but they still painted themselves into a corner. In the headlong rush for the epic universe save they skipped right by years of fantastic stories. TV series or movies, Hollywood thinks every show has to be a EPIC! Instead of entertaining. But they don't seem to realize that they always leave themselves with nowhere to go. Christopher R Taylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people don;t go to the cinema for anything less. Disney+ (and before them Netflix) had superhero movies that were more down to earth. This is where we will find the more low-key superhero stories (like Hawkeye) Joe Walsh and Lord Liaden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Part of what I liked about Ant Man was that he wasn't saving the universe or anything, it was pretty low key. The Hulk movies, same way. Iron Man, all three were not epic world-saving adventures. Its been a mix between gigantic epics and smaller stories.
