Maybe they should reboot a franchise no one wanted rebooted and be openly hostile to the fans, and try to market the film as "solidarity" for a oppressed group of people.

I want Back to the Future starring Will and Jaden Smith as George and Marty McFly. They go back to the eighties, and the time machine is a Tesla Roadster. Doc Brown is played by Kevin Hart, and in 1987 they need to obtain 1.21 gigabytes of RAM to do the time calculations.

They're emailed to her from Bruce Wayne. Whether the branding was already there in Lex's files or Bruce added it is debatable. But either one of them would totally brand the poo poo out of them.

As much poo poo as Suicide Squad loving deserves, their version of this scene was miles above BvS. You have Bruce Wayne sitting at a table with Waller (towards the end of the movie if you made it that far), and he leafs through a couple of files and we get some glimpses of the other meta-humans and he says "we'll take it from here" or something. That's all you loving needed.

Eisenberg's Luther seemed like the type of guy who'd never sit still, so I could totally see him just staring impatiently at all these superhero files he has, waiting for some scheme to unfold, and making logos for them to occupy himself.

Of course, small character moments like that, maybe even humorous little asides that reveal a little bit more of who these characters are, well...if there had been things like that, BvS wouldn't have been such a garbage movie.

The best thing about the Wonder Woman email re re BATMANs TRAILERS is that it was so loving obviously stuck in after the filming as there was no way they were getting Affleck back to be part of such an incredibly stupid scene.

I wonder what kind of contract WB have Affleck under. He's done five so far including Justice League (BvS, The Accountant, Suicide Squad, Live by Night, JL) and I'm wondering how much critical slaughtering he can take.

I actually thought the Accountant was nowhere near as bad as it was reviewed but a lot of people I respect say Live by Night is really bad.

He's directing, as well as starring in, the solo Batman film so I guess he's up for another beating.

The Accountant was passable but there's so many weird film making decisions in it that it just compounds on itself, and the reveal at the end was baffling.

I don't get the hate for Affleck that some people have. He's matured as an actor and film maker immensely since Daredevil 2003. I'll give him a chance since Henry Cavill has the personality of a dried sponge.

I was entertained by Argo, it was genuinely tense thriller that I enjoyed. Oscar worthy perhaps not, but I'd take Affleck over Snyder.
