A real hellraiser


What people don't know is that in the original script Batman didn't kill people, but Ben Affleck kept ad libbing on set and these were the only usable takes.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

Batman immolates a dude with the batmobile’s turbine and stuffs dynamite down the pants of another in Batman Returns in the span of like, ten minutes, and both are played as gags. Murderbats on film ain’t nothing new. Unfortunately BvS was intended to kickstart a “definitive” cinematic adaption of the comic version character, which has traditionally been presented as having a very different set of morals.

Either we keep the footage where Ben shot that extra to death, or we do another take. I know what I want to do, and it's not the one that makes me miss my lunch date

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

Batman doesn’t kill people! He just maims them terribly and destroys their bodies, likely leaving them with a lifetime of chronic pain and an early death. But he totally doesn’t kill people, much like cigarettes don’t kill people.

Very moral.

Also, I’ve never read the Dark Knight Returns, but if you’ve gotta do deep exegesis to prove that he didn’t kill a dude in the panel where he shot him with an assault rifle then you’ve already lost the argument.

It's only a gently caress-up if you have some aspiration of doing something aesthetically different.

Appropriately, the only good DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE ORIGINAL MOVIE is Batman: Gotham Knight.

The rest are the same level of quality as your Land Before Time or Barbie movie. Hell, the Barbie franchise has a better good-to-bad ratio than DC animated.

I thought some of it lapsed into the sort of mediocre writing and TV fistfighting I imagine the dumb Netflix shows and Agents of shield are like if I could even stomach watching them, but overall it was a dope first season from noah hawley. aubrey plaza and jemaine clement were a delight

I had so many issues with BP by the time I left that I just about forgot that whole sequence. It's an extremely Marvel move to glibly toss in quiptastic widespread destruction and death in Korea just because it makes for a great car commercial. Which, now that I think about it, I haven't read any writers grappling with.

I did a bunch of digging into Deborah Snyder for an in appreciation piece and, honestly, she's the largely unsung leader of whatever success the DC films have had post-Nolan. Her working relationship with Zack is phenomenal with her creative insights into VR and the like something I hope she gets to expand on. There doesn't seem to be the mountain of slayer skeletons Joss has and I hope she gets more credit in the longview.
