Batman and Robin is to this day the most interesting Batman film, because the themes they address are so different from the other Batfilms.

My main problem with Batman and Robin is that it's a weaker, less funny version of the Adam West TV show.

It's Adam West Batman with a gay subtext and a late 90s sheen. It's an interesting and hilarious trainwreck, but even the gay subtext is simply "there" and there's not really any meat to chew on.

OK, if we're talking about this, let's try and drag it back on topic and ask what the gently caress was with the Batgirl suit with the built-in thong supposedly designed by Uncle Alfred Headroom?

Senor Candle posted:Avengers made that much by itself and it did have it. Actually no, I was underselling Nolan's Batmans (Batmen?). The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises both made over a billion, less than Avengers 1.5 billion, but not by much, And for Dark Knight, once you factor in ticket price inflation including the fact that it pre-dated the post-Avatar 3d craze, it probably significantly out performed Avengers. (Dark Knight Rises also wasn't available in 3d because Chris Nolan is an auteur who thinks 3d is a gimmick). The idea of success and failure has become completely hosed in terms of Hollywood blockbusters. Amazing Spider-Man 2 made 700 million dollars and is considered such a failure that Sony walked back to Disney with their tale between their legs asking for Spider-Man to be in Marvel movies.

That's because every movie has like a billion CGI guys and a trillion other random people working on it now, making them cost way way way more than they used to. Compare the credits scroll of Avengers with the credits scroll of Psycho or Halloween sometime.

Star Trek Into Darkness came after and made less than 500 million and was considered a success. Thor 2 also made less than 700 million and Hemsworth isn't being recast anytime soon.

It wasn't considered a success because despite making 700 million dollars it wasn't well received and they'd already announced their plan to make it into a full franchise with multiple spin-offs. As a franchise starter it was balls, so really it's not a surprise they went to the company who gave them the inspiration and originated the IP to make a deal wherein not only do they get help making that plan actually work but they get to suck on the teat of Marvel's existing success with cameos.

Bingo. Sorry Swkirl but you really don't seem to understand that ASM2 was a failure for reasons other than its immediate box office intake. What should I expect from someone still jerking off Nolan's Batman in TYOOL 2015 though?

If Samsung sells 20 million Galaxy S 6 it will satisfy them, because they took a severe beating last year. If it was still 2013 they would probably be devastated. If HTC sells 20 Million M9 they would be dancing on the streets. Same with movies. You can make a healthy profit but it still can be a big failure in the long run.

That's a terrible analogy because people who buy an iPhone this year will almost certainly not buy a Samsung or HTC phone this year (and vice versa), but there's a poo poo ton of overlap between people who watch Spider-Man, Batman and Avengers on opening night. Unless the movies open within a week or two of each other there's no market share to compete with.

And here's one from the "do you want to get sued" school of costume design. I mean that, to me, is basically Spider-man or maybe a trimmed down Venom with the colours changed and made female

Teenage Fansub posted:Convergence #2 variant cover gives another look at the new WW. The WW look needs to lose the wrist blades and push the thigh-high boots down to regular knee boots and it'd be fine. With the WW belt, patterned loincloth, and boots, her hip/waist area is super busy and overdesigned. I'd lose that loving new 52 collar that we still can't escape from too if it were up to me.

I love that Starlord costume, but then again, I greatly preferred his look from the Abnett/Lanning series to his more generic Bendis series/movie look. The jacket and jodhpurs give him much more of a cool retro/pulp/swashbuckler/American Flagg/Rocketeer style that works for him, but the current mask doesn't quite fit with it. It's almost too alien-looking, which is what I've always disliked about it. I could see that costume working better with more of a '90s-style headdress with that, the kind of thing that wraps around the sides of his head but still shows his face and hair, perhaps with goggles or a retractable visor, but still allows artists to show him emoting without constantly taking it off. Think of Gambit, Booster Gold, or Animal Man. Big Bad Voodoo Lou fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Mar 18, 2015 |

I am hoping that the wrist blades are sort and an optional thing that she pops out when she decides someone needs a good stabbing and are not an always-on feature. Because always-on wrist blades are really awkward even by comic standards. They also seem to be really lazily designed. Most of the sketches it's like the artist has just tagged on a point triangle there as a concession to the design, instead of actually drawing some sort of interesting blade. I realize they are basically katars and katars are actually look like that, but there's no reason she can't have some fancy knives.

The giant gently caress-all wrist blades are mind-boggling because Wondy has never been much of an overly-stabby lady. I'd like to know what led her to decide that Every Punch Is Fatal from here on out.

Giant wrist swords seem weird and not in an interesting way to me. I don't mind robot Batman or wild rear end changes to designs but it will take a lot to convince me that those are a good addition.
