Karloff posted:Even though the film was terrible, Batman's suit in BvS was by far the single greatest Batman suit in any of the films (same with his voice), by a fairly significant margin. Mainly because he looked like he could move in it. Bale's second suit looked far more mobile.

No. The DCEU Batsuit allows head movement just fine. http://batman-news.com/2015/04/01/it-takes-three-people-to-put-ben-affleck-in-the-batsuit-but-he-can-turn-his-head/ https://zippy.gfycat.com/CelebratedNiftyAssassinbug.webm

teagone posted:What? No. The DCEU Batsuit allows head movement just fine. Agreed, check out when that beardy dude comes in with a grenade in the Martha rescue scene, dude can turn his head fine. The Dark Knight/Rises suit was mobile enough sure, but it was less aesthetically cool than the BvS suit or even the Begins suit, the separated helmet piece always kind of made Batman look a bit more diminutive and less threatening then the broad shouldered look in BvS and Begins.

For what it's worth they accomplished a lot of the fight scenes in BvS by CGI'ing Affleck's arms in after the fact, so it's not that much more mobile than the old ones. I think the shots of Batfleck with his cowl off after the Batmobile gets trashed in BvS is my favorite design of the character yet. I'm still not sold on how short the cowl's ears are.

The suit in BvS reminded me of this little infographic. DCEU Bruce is totally a bruiser/strongman.

Like maybe he gets infected by all social media so he's like a tumblr hitler social justice 9/11 parody video loving guy. Basically the embodiment of that prodromal schizophrenia post from fyad, but with a heart of gold. But how do you make that palatable to the mainstream? Or do you Deadpool it, and let some youtube guy go nuts with 50 mil? No because DC would ever allow an entire film to be made without the fingerprints of middle management all over it. They already did this it's called Dark Horse's The Mask.

The Mask is a good example where I really like both the comic and the movie even though they're completely different (The Losers is another one). That first comic miniseries still holds up as being pretty shocking. Doug Mankhe's art is spectacular.

Yeah I don't much care for his superhero stuff but his Dark Horse stuff is great. And Hitman Vs. Lobo holds a real warm place in my heart as one of my first favorite comics.

Another really good one is History of Violence. I didn't realize until after I saw it that it was based on a John Wagner/Vince Locke comic. I would have never associated the artist from Deadworld with an artsy David Cronenberg movie.

It's a pretty neat video but, like the one it's responding to, it's extremely bad at actually offering a justification for the core claim around hummability or whatever. Zhou said you can't hum Marvel cues because they're too close to temp music... and as this video points out, that's bunk because iconic pieces like Star Wars were very similar to temp music. This fella says you can't hum Marvel cues because they're too indebted to Hans Zimmer's style... but I can hum a half dozen Hans Zimmer tunes I feel like we're getting a little closer to an answer, to the extent to which it's even a question worth focusing on... but it's probably gonna take at least two more response videos

That's ridiculous. Just in the space of superhero films, he's composed some of the best in recent memory. Man of Steel's score is great. And the Wonder Woman action theme is loving legit...assuming that wasn't mostly Junkie XL. It's clearly a more systemic thing, though. Marvel tapped Danny Elfman for Avengers 2, and it didn't change anything. If the dude who composed Burton Batman and Raimi Spider-Man can't elevate your superhero movie score, poo poo's hosed.

With the Marvel films, he's criticizing the overreliance on (expository) dialogue, music that's included 'for the sake of it' (meaning also an ineffective use of silence), and prominent cues that fail to augment the imagery they're accompanying.

The best thing Danny Elfman ever composed was either Only a Lad or Dead Man's Party, which is still loving great, but far outstrips his cinematic contributions.

They generally don't listen to it outside of the film, and if you asked them to hum a part of it, they would ask "What music?" The only reason they know Star Wars is that poo poo played constantly through the film series, and has been a part of pop culture for about 40 years now. Same with Jurassic Park or Indiana Jones. No one is playing The Avengers theme for random poo poo. You don't see the toy ads blasting Silvestri's theme song. The only place that theme exists is in the films. It isn't given the outside exposure as other popular themes were/are. And you can argue it's a bland theme, but I mean so is Pirates and many people can hum that no problem.
