This fucking sucks. I like Snyder. I've defended him for several years and then he comes out with this. Batman v Superman. The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world.

Watching his introduction in the video I've provided really upsets me. More so because he's radiating with a feeling of excitement and genuinely feels that he's made something special for fans and general audiences. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations.

And I can't help but after watching it, all the pieces were there but it just didn't come together. I Imagined, a beautiful opening of Clark going around the world redeeming himself from the terror he brought upon the Earth. Bruce coming out of retirement for a final confrontation, not with The Joker but with a God. Feeling that by taking Superman down he has a chance to end the nightmares and give the world a chance. I'm still waiting for that movie.

This is coming from someone who loved MoS and waited in line last year for hours to see the film early.

If you plan on seeing it this weekend I hope you enjoy it. As for me I think I'm done defending Snyder.

Then it works as anon's point in his argument about the reviewer being a hypocrite.
>>
>>81006862
Yeah. I legitimately tempered my hopes the whole time, but to me, the lowest it would be was MoS quality. I always thought "Snyder has learned from his mistakes, and Goyer is off the script so it has to at least be as good, and likely better."

And here we are, and all signs point to it being worse. I still hope to leave the theater Thursday pleasantly surprised, but it's really devastating right now.

I don't think Marvel killed it as much as Deadpool did. They subverted the tropes way too close to something this self-serious.

Also, if it's anything like MoS, it's not the humorless tone, it's the joyless tone. Fucking MoS's best scene was him flying after basking in the sun's warmth but it's behind a fucking cold filter. In a scene meant to showcase warmth.

There's no humanizing moments anywhere, which is a bit of a DC comics problem too (with them being all gods and stuff), but that's why you don't put the spergest director you can find ahead of something that requires the little humanity there is to shine through.

I'm really sorry for the comparison, but when Cap sees Wanda crying about her town and asks the dude to stop it and move on - that's the things that make it worth the destruction porn in the end: characters feeling human. Those are the moments that DC's characters must be able to put forth the best.

Snyder is the absolutely worse person to do it, which is exactly why he shouldn't be helming a Superman movie. That comic book scene where some Cop thanks superman for the protection he affords at a park at night and Supes tells him that there are now two people the crooks should worry about. Superman is THAT. Snyder would just have him say 'you're safe now', and lose all the impact. Superman is meant to inspire confidence, not just trust.

And the worst part is that all DC movies seem to be slated this way, and without proper competition Marvel will start slacking too and then no more good movies come out.

>>81007089
Quality-wise? Bullshit.

They've managed to get by the skin of their teeth a couple of times by luck rather than talent. Thor 2 wouldn't have faired as well as it did if it were released now.

Also, timeline-wise it was the whole looming threat of BvS possibly being good that seemed to put them in their tracks by kicking out Bendis and Quesada and Perlmutter and grab better director talent.

Remember that Feige used to work at FOX and knows not to fear their dumbasses. BvS sounds great on paper if you cover Snyder's name. I think they were legitimately scared. I don't want them to get complacent.

You'd think however, by now they'd have quality control so questionable reviews for movies like Iron Man 3, Age of Ultron and this one would be upfront removed. There's a lot of outright bad movies getting better scores than deserved and good ones being slammed.

For example: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1087270-mummy/

Beloved movie, but because of the lack of quality control, it's being unfairly panned lately since they don't remove or manage scores from questionable sources or critics.

I just know if I had a metric website I would not include reviews from people like Devin Faraci, especially after he praised Fantastic Four biasly.

Again, is this a surprise?
Like, it was fucking obvious that DC was playing catch up to Marvel.
They saw the big Avengers bucks and some bigwig shouted down to his underlings "I want to make this type of money in 3 years. Make it happen or you're on "Make Allen Moore work for us again" duty".
There was no natural evolution.
There was no growth.
It was just a mandated cashgrab.
They weren't even subtle by slapping "Batman" on the front of the title even though it's clearly a Superman movie sequel.
And then they forced Wonder Woman in it to cash in on that sweet feminist cash that is "predicted" to materialize in the future.

>>81007308
I know. That's exactly what I mean. You have to squeeze the humanity out of him. You have to show him do that. If he's just brooding and looking mopey like in MoS, you lose the character to how unrelatable he is.

The best example is Cap (who has admittedly been blessed by the writers and directors he got). He changes people around him, he makes Tommy Lee Jones less grumpy, he makes Tony say corny shit he'd be too proud to do, he makes Peggy and Widow and Bucky be better people, he inspires Falcon and Nick Fury to be their absolute best, even if they don't share his vision. Shit like that is what you do with characters that have no arc: you make everyone else that comes into contact with them get an arc.

Not making them do condescending bullshit like having him float above a flooded town with the sun behind him, casting a shadow to people that are trying to reach him for help, just so you can make a good picture. Which is doubly worrisome when you know that Cavill has a fucking great smile and charisma (UNCLE).

>>81007493
Why? Fox didn't start from scratch with X-Men. Even when they did a soft reboot, it wasn't a reboot, it's still continuing the franchise.

If Fox, the guys who made some of the worst capeshit films of all time, can not only catch up with but also stand toe-to-toe with Marvel, WB can. It requires something that not many executives and directors have, and it's called effort

Soo Scy Squaw will do good, but WW will be a bomb.
They'll look at that, look enviously at Deadpool, and get into their heads that hard PG-13/R is the way to go.

Those will bomb too, but that'll be late enough in the future where they'll recast Batman again and do another origin story

No that anon but rotten tomatoes uses clickbait reviews that either puts the movie on a god like pedestal or say its the worst thing to ever be spawned by mankind
Most dont talk about cinematography or sound editing or lighting or any sort of actual film making technique. They just deconstruct the plot and say good plot I liked it 10/10 or bad plot worst movie ever made. Its pathetic reviewing and Roger Ebert is rolling in his grave because of it.

They can still make mediocre movies that people go to see based on name recognition, but they will never be the top dogs. Just keep churning out the bad blockbusters like Michael Bay does. Works for Sony and Fox too. There will always be an audience of 12 year old white boys who will spend their allowance on any "big" movie regardless of quality.

Because it's assuming two things.
One: that there are hordes of unsatisfied WW fans who are dying to see a movie.
There aren't.
Two: Women will go the movie more than usual and make it a success there.
They won't.

Do you remember Snakes on a Plane?
Every so often Hollywood execs get into their head that there's some kind of golden goose out there that they just need a find a way to reach.
Snakes on a Plane was an attempt to capture the "Internet Golden Goose". It failed.
Now they're trying to get the "Feminist Golden Goose".
Look at the new Ghostbusters.

Over long is only tangentially related to duration. Lets be real.
For example, hateful eight was long as fuck. While I didn't end up liking it or hating I still didn't feel like it was a waste of my time. For the duration of the film I was invested and I walked out feeling like I'd been in the cinema for like an hour and a bit at most.
Overly long is the construct of enjoyment measured in separate parts by pacing and length. If you're good in both of those it won't feel long. If you're lacking in one or the other subjective duration increases noticeably.

I'm sure it's going to buried in this sub somewhere but I had some spare time so I wanted to give my two cents even though it won't mean much.
I've been a longtime lurker of this sub because I've been waiting longtime to see how DCEU is going to establish itself, and because I'm a big fan of movies and superheroes in general.
I really liked this sub ever since I started to lurk because of its level-headedness and constant optimism to see this through, and even with a lot of ridicule DCEU seemed to have received from some corners of the internet this sub remained strong.

>However, as the reviews started to pour in, I am seeing a lot of panicking posts and accusations that I think are not warranted until we wait at least the opening weekend and most importantly for the first month.

>The reasons why I say this:
>Point 1: Box Office is the King
>"As of this moment, it looks like it could end up being a disaster for WB/DC... But yeah, holy shit. There's probably serious panic going on that the studio right now."

No more a general commentary on the state of modern day internet reviewers. Most know almost nothing about movie making and just go with gut reactions to the move instead of actually trying to impartially analyze it.

You're mistaking figurative length for literal length.

If you've got a shitty boring story, two hours can be overlong. An hour and a half can be overlong.

It doesn't matter if the movie is three or four hours long if the story can hold up for that long.

Fun is a buzz word for enjoyment. It's like a technically skilled painting that fails to elicit an emotional appreciation. Technically it's a good painting but's it's failed to engage with you on a human and personal level.

Essentially immersion was shit and people couldn't properly invest in character past them being devices to barrack for and forward the plot. Bet on it.
>>
>>81007814

To me, the "lack of fun" all points to it being boring.

Think back on George Lucas' war scenes in eps 1-3.

Remember how there was shit constantly going on? All this flash, all this bang, all this constant action and CG.

Yet it was BORING. All of this happening, and there was no enjoyment to it, it came across as banal and lifeless.

Reddit damage control for your enjoyment.

part 2

>Only 2 hours after the embargo is lifted, this is one of the posts I see right off the bat. Sure the reviews are divisive and not meeting the expectation that you had, but really? WB/DC is shitting their pants now because of divisive reviews? The reason why I say this is because ultimately, Box Office determines the future of DCEU. Many people have pointed this out, but I think I had to stress this one more time. There are countless movies with "negative" or mediocre reviews that have made not only big opening weekend numbers, but a great multiplier (legs). Sure higher rated movies usually have good legs but it's not always true and vice versa. What we need to do is to wait and see how the audience reacts not just the opening weekend but also the 2nd weekend. If it drops less than 59% ish, it's actually a good hold. Closer to 50%, it's an amazing hold for a movie this size. If it's more than 65%, then I would say the word of mouth is not good and the total might not be as high as it could have been.

>Just for Box Office reason alone I think we should reserve how the studio might react, and how we should react in terms of the future development of DCEU.

>Point 2: The Reviews:

>As of now, I only see 40 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Blockbusters usually get 250 to 300 reviews by the end of its run (sometimes way more like Star Wars). Let's wait until more reviews come in. Sure it is not as good as people were hoping for, and it's completely possible it might not go up or even go down. But Rotten Tomatoes is basically like/dislike system. It can be a good movie, a great movie, but if the review didn't enjoy it for some reason, it can be a negative. Sure the ratings are used as a benchmark for the quality of the film, but you can have many mediocre reviews barely passing it as a fresh and have 95% yet the movie itself is plain meh. Or you can have a very divisive film that's good, even great that simply did not resonate with half of the people. Whatever the reason, these ratings should not be the factors that bring your anticipation down to rock bottom, or make you start declaring this whole project as failure, especially if YOU have yet to see it. Which brings me to my last point...

Spectacular. As in, presenting of spectacle. Strikingly large and obvious. Flashy and eye catching.
A fireworks display can be a spectacle, but it need not be deep or form a narrative. A literal train wreck can be a spectacle, but it need not be entertaining.

A movie can be spectacular, that is, big, loud, and flashy, without being any good. Michael Bay has made his entire career of just that.

So you're telling me you fags WATCH cape films tor conversations about morality and dialog, NOT explosions and watching men in tights rub up against each other

Then every single one of you is doing it wrong. All of these films are mindless shit, if you're shocked this movie's enjoyment derives from watching capes beat each other up, then you missed the point that's highlighted to you from the title.

You don't watch X-Men for the politics of mutants, you watch it to see mutants punch each other in the face. Why is this any different?

>>81007710
Well, the new Ghostbusters is a bad idea because it's A. derivative, and B. derivative of a highly actor-dependent movie, but Wonder Woman doesn't have that problem (or at least not more than any other variety of capeshit). And regardless of whether or not a mediocre movie can still hit this "golden goose," the movie should still do fine if it's actually good.

The major problem with the WW movie is that it's going in with two agendas.
One: Make a movie that will strengthen the "brand". It needs to catch DC back up to relevancy
Two: It needs to be feminist and capture the feminist market. You're dealing with the first solo female supe movie. That means eyes are especially focused on gender issues.

With Batman, it's a scene like pic related. Wonder Woman hangs out with little kids and plays with them all the time too. Flash is the people's champion hometown hero. There's a reason he has a museum. He's even on good terms with his rogues.

Don't have her fight Egg Fu and don't have her lose her powers by being captured by a man, and honestly, there aren't that many ways you could fuck it up on social issues unless you were trying to.

Having said that you also shouldn't pull from twenty different conflicting movies. Birthright, All Star, and Earth One mix about as well as oil and water. And now it looks like The Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman aren't a very good mix either.
>>
>>81008350
That's a false equivalence and also does not change that this reviewer is being hypocritical since length is a literal thing, not figurative.

One grimdark long action movie and another grimdark long action movie are being held as different things when they are not.

http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/03/22/batman-v-superman-review-zack-snyders-doomsday

>With all preconceived notions of how Batman and Superman should be portrayed put aside, I can say with complete certainty that Batman v Superman is not a particularly well made film. It is, in fact, the film that finally drives home to me the reality that Zack Snyder is not particularly great at storytelling

>It’s almost crazy how flimsy and poorly constructed the first hour of the film is. Snyder and his editors seem to have inserted scenes haphazardly; while most take place in what seem to be chronological order there is no flow from one scene to another.

>The film is too long by half and yet it never finds time to do any character work, focusing instead on relentlessly moving forward its over-complicated, unmotivated plot.

>The one bright spot in the film is Batman, played by Ben Affleck as the one character who has any sort of character at all.

>Gal Gadot is fine as Wonder Woman, playing a character without any depth. She seems cool in battle?

>Luthor’s machinations in the film are, essentially, nonsense (one of his dastardly plans involves a jar of piss), and they are largely unmotivated.

>Eisenberg is next-level terrible as Luthor. He’s a twitchy lunatic pretty much from the start, and if there are any events in the story that lead to him escalating his plot to the point of creating an unstoppable monster I missed them.

>To say that Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice is a bad movie doesn’t go far enough. This film feels like Zack Snyder hobbling the entire upcoming DC Movieverse before it gets started. It’s small things, like revealing that Lex Luthor names all the members of the Justice League and gives them their symbols. It’s big things, like where the film leaves the story at the end. And it’s things in between, because the first two movies in this universe have been all about why heroism is essentially bad.

It is possible to sit through a two-hour-long movie and wish that it was just a LITTLE bit longer.
It is also possible to be an hour into a 90-minute movie and be wondering when the hell it'll be over and done with.

While length itself is a literal thing, whether or not something is "overlong" is entirely subjective.

Because it's not amazing.

RT is basically a "watch/avoid scale". A movie can have 5/10 and still get like 70% "watch/fresh".

The movie is bad, most people who rate fresh are just saying "meh, worth a watch at list. Bring popcorn and low expectations"

Depends on if this is an accurate accounting of it. Tony's vision in AoU scares him enough to want to make Ultron. The Knightmare sequence by other accounts is what motivates Batman to form the Justice League so I think that ultimately neither will end up being pointless.

Ok. Read the interview. It's a woman. So you can brace for stupidity.

She says the movie is good for fans and people who like flashiness and explosions, but the story is incoherent and all over the place.

Then she says she hopes everything will be cool with Wonder woman, since she is one, apparently. And that Deadpool is the first LGBT character in comics....the fuck?

Either way, she is basically saying "if you are a superhero fans, I guess this movie is for you, it delivers and caters to you" she even applauds it from a marketing standpoint, but not from a movie storytelling one.

There. Happy? That is why

Some of the youtube reviews are more positive, so that's something.

Even so, a lot of it starts with "I went in with low expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised."

Also, "If you liked MoS, you'll like this," was pretty common.

Captain America does have humor, but it's considerably more restrained than say, Iron Man's trilogy.

And the length of a movie is not actually determined by its running time, but it's pacing.

And several reviews have said that this movie is aimless.

When will they get it. DC isn't meant to be serious and realistic in the least sense.

Adapt All-Star Superman to the cinema, give it a budget and put Del Toro at the helm. Or I don't know, Secret Identity. That would actually make a good movie.

But again, there's no soul in corporate blockbusters. Some things that don't have souls are perfectly fine, like a chair. But Superman can't not have a soul behind it, or it just deflates awkwardly.

DC needs to do their own thing, instead of copying the formula.

>Oh, and this Batman repeatedly shatters his "one rule", and kills willy-nilly while demonstrating a disturbing taste for sadistic mutilation. The excuse is that Superman has driven him to the edge – and yet this guy is still supposed to be our hero. There’s a difference between an antihero and a full-on villain, but this film never figures out where the boundaries lie.

This is what I hate, it breaks my heart, Superman too kills random criminals... now they are antiheroes for Edgy teenagers that thought that Kira from Death Note was right and all that. No, fuck you.

I'm actually completely fucking fine with Nolan's stuff on Batman. I personnally prefer the more surreal views on Batman, but I think Nolan's vision is completely valid. This is what is great about DC's universe: the Elseworlds. The iconism. The fact that you the big cheese is completely fucking acceptable.

>I waited in the theater for over two hours, wondering the whole time when this overblown trailer for the DC Cinematic Universe was going to end and a movie about Batman and Superman was finally going to get going. Not that Batman and Superman aren’t present and accounted for. They’re in practically every scene. But they spend most of those scenes pontificating about what their mighty existence means to us mortals, and the movie ultimately seems to agree that the world would have been better off without them. That’s hardly the attitude you want a film to have when its biggest selling point is that there are a lot of superheroes you like in it.

>Do you remember that scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron where Thor travels to a mystic spirit cave for no reason other than to pimp another sequel? You are about to meet that scene’s brother in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But at least Wonder Woman, played with charismatically by Gal Gadot, seems pretty cool.

"Dawn of Justice: Featuring Batman, Superman, ad wonder Woman" confirmed
>>
You know guys, I legitimately wish this movie was 2deep4u but the sad thing is that it's not. It's a legitimate attempt at fun but you have to understand is that this is an attempt at what Snyder finds fun. He puts in stuff like his version of Lex because he finds that version fun. He doesn't think Jesus = Superman is some great deep symbolism, he think it's just a clever comparison.

When I say that it isn't fun, it's not because I wish it was like something else. I wish it did what its trying to do better. Not to mention that the ending of the movie is weak as fuck.
>>
>>81009608
Blame Nolan for backing him up on Man of Steel as a producer. The entire reason Snyder went grimdark with MoS is because of the Nolanverse Batman movies doing so well

It was fun. But it was like a very bizarro version of Superman. Kinda like Red Son.

No, actually even Red Son was much more Superman than MoS.

They're going to waste Cavill on that shit, when he is a perfect actor for Superman.
>>
>>81009740
Exactly.
And critics agree with me that Man of Steel was a lifeless no fun piece of shit.
>>
>>81009798
>No, actually even Red Son was much more Superman than MoS.
Wasn't that the whole point of it, though?
>>
>>81009736
Goyer came up with the MoS pitch. Showed it to Nolan and he backed him. Took a couple of years and then they hired Snyder. Those two came up with the final script, showed it off to Nolan and the execs. Nolan disagreed with the ending and Goyer/Snyder convinced everybody in the room it would work. And everything else after that we have experienced.

Yes, but still. When you hear about Superman, you don't expect him to be a fucking commie. And a dictator to boot.
>>
I honestly feel bad for Warner Bros in a way. The public backlash against gloomy, overly-serious superhero movies is a very recent phenomenon. By the time it really started revealing itself, BvS was already in post-production and there was literally nothing they could do to change the movie they had already made.

I honestly feel if this movie hadn't been delayed as much as it was, it wouldn't be getting raked over the coals the way it is. It's like if a Bill Cosby movie was released today after it had sent the last eight years in some producer's desk drawer. Same movie, very different audience.

People are more receptive to comedy than drama. For a drama to be effective, you need at least two really engaging entities. For comedy, you don't even really need one as long as the joke itself is well presented.

It makes sense that movies that simply attempt to be serious but fail are panned.

I'm not mad, Snyder. I'm just disap--No, you know what? Fuck you, I'm mad.

I'm mad, and you've never made a good fucking movie.

Oh it will make alot of money. A billion will be hard to reach now though
>>
>>81009913
Honestly I've never had a problem with any actor cast as Superman. They've all been fair to great. It's the directing and the writing that takes a huge shit, and I feel it's doubly true for Cavill. The dude just doesn't get anything to work with. Snyder's Superman is 90% stoic, 10% crying.
>>
>>81009939

But Snyder will still be directing JL

>>81009307

That won't be pointless, because it relates to Thor 3 and Avengers 3.

MoS has an entire scene of Supes learning to fly and having a blast. Definitely worth as much as what you're citing.
I think the most fun scene in TDK is the one you're citing but the most fun part is the Joker going through all the different guns seeing which will get through the armored truck.

I'd like to see some dramas not by a crap director before we write them or audiences and critics off entirely.
The last serious cape movies we got by a good director sold like gangbusters. The most praised MCU movie is likewise the most serious one. I really don't understand why we have to put all these eggs in a Snyder shaped basket. I don't understand why we have to willfully ignore the elephant in the room.

People don't hate serious superhero movies. They hate Snyder's take on them. Why is that such a taboo concept?

Not necessarily. The two most praised are both the most serious (Winter Soldier) and the most comical (Guardians). Both can work. Though I agree, the problem is Snyder.

And it can do that joylessly. Which seems to be a consensus that is forming among many of these reviews.

KEK. I can't wait to see this movie. I always end up enjoying Snyder's films. Sure i will like this one. If only for super hero spectacle and watching Bats and Supes punch the shit out of each other. It will Tide me over until the solo Batfleck movie.

Though these threads and the ones on Gaf do make me giggle at the autistic level of Snyder hate. Like that nigga ran over a few dogs and fucked a few mothers here or something.

The company war bullshit if hilarious too. So great when you don't actually have a dog in the race and you look at a bunch of retards going at each other.

>>
>>81010207
For all the dance memes I think Guardians has a fair bit more drama than people give it credit for. I mean, the movie opens on the main character's mother dying of cancer and he can't deal with it so he runs away. And that's played 100% straight, no jokes or anything.

But yeah. I'd rather wait for a serious cape movie by someone competent before saying nobody wants it. From what we've seen Suicide Squad isn't going to try to be that movie and sadly the next one up at bat is what, Wonder Woman? So it's gonna be a long time before we get to see an attempt that isn't stymied by Snyder or some other baggage.

I'm not denying that it doesn't have drama, but it's really not the focus. All the MCU movies have a mix of comedy and drama, but I think it's a fair judgment to say that Guardians is more comedy than drama.

Also still agreeing with you. A serious movie can work, it just takes the right hand. Snyder's is not that hand.

Fuck. Watching this new season of House Of Cards is gonna be tough. Gonna remind me how much of a better Luthor he could have been. Even Returns was a waste of him as Lex.

Nah. Man of Steel 2. It had the exact same problem where characters were representations of concepts and plot devices rather than organic or nuanced personalities. It's just that back then we all blamed Goyer for it for some reason.
>>
>>81010890

Because of the action sequence, i think. Like Snyder said that the Krypton sequence when Jor-El is going back home with the codex that there was this huge battle where he's cornered by Zod's soldiers and Kelex, his robot, transforms itself into this huge mecha and they have this huge and massive battle.

Now try picturing that and imagine how even more fucked up the pace of the movie would be,

>>81010955
No Age of Ultron. At least Man of Steel tried. It failed very poorly, but it TRIED believe it or not. Age of Ultron existed because it "had too" per say and Wheadon thinks in archetypes and not people.

This movie is EXACTLY like that. This movie only exists because it has too, not because it needs too

I'm completely OK with that

It reminds me of a Grant Morrison comic.

Well he is just aping Frank Miller's Clint Eastwood Batman... sometimes literally.

Believe me.

Personally I've always felt the Krypton sequence was a massive time and money sink and for a long time I figured it was in Russel Crowe's contract that he had to be badass or something.

Krypton is the least important part of the Superman mythos and WB seemed to be overly in love with it at the time.
>>
>>81011047

That was Nolan and Snyder. Nolan because he really wanted to build on Krypton and alien aspect of the movie and Snyder because he wanted to shoot cool shit. Goyer actually wanted to focus on Lois and her romance with Superman and Pa Kent.

So you're saying it's forced, but it doesn't need to be a thing

I don't know if the fans would be okay with the movie taking place in Louisiana.

No the criticisms is toward the points before it. Every reviews states that once it gets to the actual fight its a good fight.

I'm just mad that a sequel to a Superman movie is probably more about Batman than Supes. Like Civil War will probably have the same problem but at least we got two solid movies out of Cap and two Avengers movies.

We already have like a billion Batman movies including a great trilogy. Why can't we just give Supes more attention?

>Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor — reconfigured as a coked-up ham who acts like a demented children’s show host or, worse, Johnny Depp — wants to get them together so that…well, it’s not clear. The two’s promised title match appears to have little to do with Luthor’s scheme, which is to create a slimy colossus that will destroy Metropolis and Gotham, so he can then…well, that’s not clear either. (But here’s betting it will make sense three, maybe four DC films from now.)

What were they thinking when they wrote this?

Batman makes more money. Hell, look at the Lego DC games. They're called "Lego Batman" not "Lego DC Heroes". Hell, I wouldn't be surprise if WB blames Superman for the movie failing.
>>
>>81010742
Oh fuck...I hadn't even considered this. I tend to like Joe but his Superman defense leading up to this movie has been gutwrenching to watch. Like a guy trying to deny the death of his dog.

Can someone tell me why they had to go all Days Of Future Past to have Flash tell Batman to not get Lois killed or something? This some Injustice bullshit? Why did we need some time travel shit in this? Or prophetic dream bullshit? Whatever that was.
Fuck. Even the flying baby Bruce dream was fucking weird.

Seems more DofP meets Injustice Gods Among Us garbage. Also armored Flash a shit. I feel bad for Ezra Miller. Hell. He coulda made a neat Jai West from the future and team up with a Kid Flash Wally.

Nah, Batman is not a savior. Is a cancer. Grant Morrison was right about equating one of the Gentry with him.

At least we can be sure about something, with this the Quipnematic Marvel Universe will still go at it.

Hope you'll like the Quipsterer Supreme this fall.

>>81010185
95% chance. I'd be SHOCKED if that wasn't the lesson they took from this.
>>
>>81010185
At this point they should make a Batman Cinematic Universe and it would go a lot better for them.
>>
>>81011397
Who do you think is buying all those Harley Quinn and Batgirl comics?
>>
>>81011951
For a second I thought you were making a joke about how Marvel would jump on this chance to make a Squadron Supreme movie.

Sad thing is, Nighthawk v Hyperion: Supreme Dawn would probably be better than this trainwreck.
>>
>>81012311
Jesus, could you imagine that? If Marvel made a better Justice League movie than DC?

The shitposting would break /co/ in half.

Marvel finds a way.

See you in Phase 5.

You think this is bad? Wait to see X-Men Apocalypse reviews.

The Mouse is too strong. They lost when Nolan's Batman left Gotham for Anne Hathaway.
>>
>>81012498
I guarantee you Apocalypse will get great reviews. MoS was panned by critics too so it should be no surprise that its sequel gets equally panned. On the flipside, DoFP did great with critics and Apocalypse, J. Law aside, is shaping up to be even better.
