Even if he procrastinated for 23 hours of the day he'd still get more poo poo done in that 1 hour than all of us combined.

He probably has a reinforced desk and uses one of those holographic keyboards.Scyantific posted:Yo are they pulling a Fantastic 4 and putting bungee cords on Battle Armor Barry? Those cords are basically to keep the armor strapped to him, I'm assuming, since if they were rubbing against each other they'd chafe away into nothingness. Maybe the cord is some super strong adamantium teflon cable.

Now that Affleck has dropped out of directing The Batman, I'm actually more interested in DC does with Aquaman than any of the other movies. I can't recall too may films that take place primarily underwater. There's The Abyss, Das Boot, Hunt for Red October, 20,000 Leagues, etc. but they're usually in a vessel. Aside from animated films, I can't really think of a live action film that uses the ocean as its main environment.

Mel Gibson's a better director. Was Affleck directing really the key part of The Batman's hype & appeal? Cuz I always figured it was more from people liking his Batman, and he's still...the Batman. Based on The Town, Affleck was a solid choice as director, but, yeah, it's not like Zack Snyder, David Ayers, or Ryan Coogler where it's such a killer choice that it seriously raises my expectations for the movie.

Affleck directed 3 movies that got a lot of critical acclaim (Argo won Best Picture). People liked his take on Batman as well. So people were rightfully excited to see him do a Batman movie in which he had control behind and in front of the camera.

I'll go to bat for Affleck for The Town and Gone Baby Gone, but Argo was rough, and Live by Night felt like him trying to simultaneously ape Scorsese and the Coens. Basically, his work was better when he was focusing on his acting and being incredibly tentative about his directing, and it's flipped the other way now.

Along with Aquaman I think there's 2-3 live action underwater movies in the works currently by various studios. I'm pretty stoked for Aquaman for the same reason as you, it's a dope environment ripe for modern effects.

For me the appeal of Affleck directing was that I had imagined(however naively) that he, as the guy playing Batman and the biggest star this whole universe they're creating, would be much more free to flex his directing muscles than whoever else they might be able to get. So I had high hopes that we'd get a less traditional Batman movie that we've had in the past. And Affleck is undeniably a competent director, so its not like this would be his first rodeo.

Making Cyborg a RoboCop with design cues from Transformers, tying the Mother Box to the alien AllSpark, sounds good to me. Also a bit of The Signal with the polygonal limbs, which while a pretty lousy movie overall (Brenton Thwaites), the involuntary-augmentation portions were solid and relevant.

Not the main environment by any stretch, but Thuderball had a bunch of underwater sequences back in the 60s that were technically impressive but made for kind of a slog to watch IMO.

One thing that blows my mind is how completely insane the powers in the DC universe are. Look at Superman. This guy has more powers than French restaurants have ways to say “your taste in wine is atrocious”. He has powers to do with every part of his body and then some. He forgets powers sometimes. He can shoot heat rays out of his eyes, frost breath from his mouth and red son radiation from his rear end. He’s that sort of crazy dude. All because he absorbs solar radiation. Look at Batman. His power? The anti-power. Sure, he should be some tame, kung fun master of not much, but instead he’s the hottest poo poo to ever poo poo on a plate. You got a power? He’ll find your weakness and give you seizures or heart attacks. He’ll light you on fire when you’re sleeping or make you recharge your green lantern ring in the power outlet. Ten thousand volts of gently caress you batman. That’s Batman. But the loving Flash, my god, my loving GOD, this man has the greatest powers of all. If Superman’s powers are being sucked off by twin super models and batman coming home to discover your wife is not only bisexual but has two friends she wants you to ‘get in on’ then the Flash is an orgy with a thousand women who also want to pay your World of Warcraft billing. And click the mouse for you. This man is just that loving hot. They have to power him down in the comics half the time just to keep him from doing everyone else’s job. Ok first off, he can travel at lightspeed. Mother gently caress! Not only does he travel at lightspeed, but time slows down for him. So he feels like he’s having a casual jog or reading the paper, meanwhile, his feet are moving so fast you can hear him coming from Montana while he’s already gotten to Arizona. That’s loving fast. But wait! The ability to move at Lightspeed just isn’t loving enough! I know! Christ this guy can punch you so many times in a second you’ve been hit five times in the cock and two times everywhere else. You think you’re about to fight the Flash and then it hits you, for the last split second he’s beaned your beanbags with more blows than you had sperm. But no, there’s more! The Flash can also vibrate through walls. Now last I heard, you can not move so fast you can vibrate through walls, so what actually happens is the Flash is so fast he can pick and choose the movement of his individual molecules and move them through other solid objects, phasing through solid matter like it ain’t no thing. I mean you think a guy who runs at lightspeed would run into poo poo but no, the Flash just goes right through them. To top that with a cherry and some whipped cream (which the Flash made in like a millisecond, fucker) he can selectively choose to cause objects to be “okay” afterwards or loving EXPLODE. That’s right. He can run through you and make you blow up by transfering kinetic energy into you. Like Jesus. IT’s bad enough you can’t hit this guy, but he doesn’t even have to punch you. Now your testicles have exploded and you’re thinking you’re about to hit him. Jesus? Just give it up. He’s the loving Flash. Now imagine that somehow there’s someone who can get around the Flash blowing your balls up secret ninja technique. Ok. He can also control the flow of energy between objects. This power makes no sense but basically he can throw a rock at you, and you think it’s going slow and then he’s like WHOOHOOO WIZARDLY FLASH POWERS and bam it’s going at lightspeed. So he can throw seven million rocks at you in a second then make them all goes different speeds thus striking your nads with seven million rocks one after the other. But wait! There’s more! He can also take energy from the very power of speed and make clothes out of it. Yes. Flash makes his pants out of GOES FAST. The man is so fast he can make Flash pants that GOES FAST go right into. I don’t even start to understand the physics of that but basically SPEED == REALLY TIGHT UNDERWEAR AND COOL LIGHTNING THINGIES OVER THE EAR. You would think this is the end of it but ok let’s say Flash is fighting Superman and poo poo he’s going to lose and gently caress how is Superman THIS loving strong? I don’t know he must be Superman fused with Batman into some sort of guy with tons of plans on how to punch you far harder than anyone else ok to end it off the Flash can GO BACK OR FORWARD IN TIME ON COMMAND. How do you beat this dude? You’re thinking you’re hashing him good, laying down the beatdown, missing your balls and suddenly BAM YOUR MOM FELL DOWN THE STAIRS TWENTY YEARS AGO and there’s a dent in your forehead and Superman not thunk so gud no more. Actually she didn’t fall down the stairs the Flash put speed into them so they fell up her! gently caress you Flash! You moved the stairs to Soviet loving russia! RUSH-A! Bitch. Oh, and lastly his greatest power is he isn’t fast in bed. He takes it slow and gets all the ladies with his superpowers then actually satisfies them in the sack. Who the Hell is this guy? You’d think he could AT LEAST be a premature ejaculator since his penis is moving at lightspeed but NOOOO he’s even good in bed. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Wolverine sucks cock and should go die in a freak greasefire.
