That really was one of the funniest comic-related jokes ever.

Superman and batman are the worst superheroes there i said it. A lot of people rightfully acknowledge superman is poo poo but batman is really bad too. Dark knight fuckin sucked btw.

I watched Batman Begins again last week. I was reminded of why I didn't care for it. Putting the evil ninjas on top of the Tibetan village was very distracting. I wish they had invented some made up costumes for the setting.

Tom Cruise's wife had some good lines, particularly the scene when she slapped him, but she couldn't pull it off. Nolan can't direct actress worth a drat.

I am more impressed by how many big name supporting actors Nolan got on board than anything else.

Here's a fun game: See how many nerds you can enrage by arguing that Batman's only "super power" (be sure to use airquotes if in a face to face conversation) is white privilege.

Yeah, Bruce Wayne could single-handedly strangle out all of the organized crime in Gotham with his wealth AND end the systemic inequality that leads to the high overall crime rate by investing in community outreach, education and welfare. He chooses to bang models and beat up the brown poors instead. :911:

They'll introduce the DCEU's version of Dick Grayson as an imprisoned convicted ally of Bruce Wayne that does his dirty work behind bars. He receives messages from the outside by a trained robin.

That's a big part of why it didn't work. It couldn't decide whether it was a sequel or a remake, so it ended up just being Donner's Superman with a dumb cu ck plotline added in.

but i liked superman returns :(

though, everyone knows that the best live action version of superman is Lois & Clark: The new adventure of Superman

This is me as I make another great post


Good luck with your depression!
somebody was asking if cineD was quoting zizek yet

quote:

The metaphor of the armor in both movies(Zod/Batman) nicely gets to the heart of this as well. With Zod it was something he removes by himself, to embrace his 'transcendence', the visual execution nails this really well for both of them. For Batman it's to avoid engaging with the existential crisis created by the rule of "No Killing", his branding being the manifestation of this bizarre internalised ritual. His armor being torn/damaged in a battle with Superman nicely illustrates coming to terms with these "rules" in the face of radical christian love.

"Although "Western Buddhism" presents itself as the remedy against the stressful tension of the capitalist dynamics, allowing us to uncouple and retain the inner peace and Gelassenheit, it actually functions as its perfect ideological supplement. One should mention here the well-known topic of the "future schock," i.e. of how, today, people are no longer psychologically able to cope with the dazzling rhythm of the technological development and the social changes that accompany it - things simply move too fast, before one can accustom oneself to an invention, this invention is already supplanted by a new one, so that one more and more lacks the most elementary "cognitive mapping."" -Zizek

Which all comes back to the major themes of these movies, the alien invasion overtones in MoS and the metahuman stuff in BvS. Accompanied by all the apocalyptic imagery of huge hurricanes, oil rigs burning, skyscrapers/cities collapsing etc. Nicely illustrating the tension between Batman and Lex's psychosis within the movie, the bell has been rung for the times they are a-changin.

the answer is yes

Its also pretty great since the guy who voiced Flash was also acting as Lex on Smallville at the time

Also I realized they aren't going to have Michael Ironsides voice Darkseid so what's the point of doing a movie with Darkseid then?
