Even better. Wonder if you will able to knock it out. Not sure if I remember but wasn’t it implied some are immune to be knocked off the stage? I could be remembering wrong though

The first Nolan Batman movie was aight, but loses a lot of its luster by the fact that the other two came out and were better. Dark Knight Rises is a pretty fun romp but you can tell they were going for "what if TDK...but more!" and it ends up being bogged down by trying to shove way too much into its run-time.

The Dark Knight though I don't think is overrated at all. It's an extremely good movie buoyed by a couple great performances and I am happy to rewatch it whenever the urge strikes me.

Dark Knight is one of the best super hero flicks of all time.

Setup/world-building is already done
Hero vs his all-time biggest villain
No superfluous Extended Universe crap
One of the best performances of all time by Heath Ledger, who just steals the show

DKR def has a looooot of issues, and isn't that great of a follow up to TDK
Still a fun outing, but not as good as TDK

Only ding I have against TDK is Batman’s Cookie Monster voice. I tried to get use to it but when Rises shows up and he’s screaming WHERE IS THETRIGGGGERRRRRR I couldn’t keep a straight face and just laughed at that. Rises had quite a bit of issues. The last minute “twist” was lame and my god the performance was wooden as hell for that person. I only have a slight biased enjoying Rises because they at least portray Bane as smart and not the roid moron he is in the Arkham games (the fact it took the prequel to make him better was telling)

I think every comic book movie that goes over the universally accepted dumb movie limit of two hours should open with a statement by the director of how their vision was so great, so uncompromisingly interesting that they could not edit it down to 120 minutes like a normal person.

Yeah I seriously hated that they shoe-horned Robin in for some reason. If you're never going to use that character again then don't loving introduce him. It seemed like they were just hoping movie-goers would have a brainless, Captain-America-meme "I got that reference!" moment and that would be enough.

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
Anyone else really dislike in rpgs when running away can fail? I'd prefer it always work, and they ca make you drop cash or give the enemies a round first or whatever. It's not a huge deal but I'm always annoyed when I fail to escape multiple times in a row.

Related, I've made it to the post game of DQ11. It's still good. I think I've hit a point where I might actually have to focus on leveling/crafting for a bit before I can move forward.

I want to believe that was just DC being DC. I mean hell apparently there is going to be two separate Joker movies and it’s like what the hell. And keeping it in spoilers DC took the term reboot literally. I honestly thought Nolan was going hey Batman’s dead so how about we have Robin be the new Batman. Worked in the comics later. I did enjoy Batfleck but not the movies. Haha god that was bad.

DCU is a dumpster fire that needs to be rebooted, with Wonder Woman salvaged

They went wayyyyyyyy too quickly into the Team Up Movie, which was loving terrible on top, because they were chasing those MCU bucks

I did like the theory that they could reboot Leto Joker as broken from abuse Jason Todd, and have an ACTUAL Joker Vs Batman film

Apparently the Flash movie that's currently in development is titled Flashpoint now, and that's a DC comic book storyline in which the Flash goes back in time and changes history so everyone's story is rebooted (leading to that whole New 52 thing). They could easily have him go back to a time between World War 1 and the present so that every superhero's story is rebooted except Wonder Woman.

They're going to need to recast Superman and Batman anyway so they might as well do a full-on reboot while they're at it.

Going to be super disappointed if they don't have a scene where a WB exec is about to rubber-stamp BvS and a powerful gust of wind and light causes it to be smacked out of his hand.

Has Hideaki Itsuno talked about actively wanting to make Dragon's Dogma 2 before? Because he drops that in this Eurogamer interview and god drat I hope Capcom lets him do that:

quote:

Are there any other games from your past you'd like to return to? I know you've spoken fondly about Dragon's Dogma.

Hideaki Itsuno: Yeah, just like Rival Schools - Dragon's Dogma 2, give me a way to make it now. If someone would let me, it's what I'd want to do. I already know what the story would be. It's just about convincing people to let me make it. So please bombard Capcom Europe!

Zimmer was perfectly fine for the Batman soundtrack. I thought he was a bad mismatch for Blade Runner though.

rises is extra weird because the joker is defeated through trust and compassion but in the sequel everyone is ready to eat each other because a masked weirdo interrupts a football game with a letter that could've been forged for all anyone knows.

It's the most bizarre thing that they didn't add any reverb or anything that makes it sound like it's actually a voice located in space instead of being laid onto the soundtrack, Darth Vader's voice never had that issue

I thought DKR was terrible, but at least it was trying something compared to Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and Justice League which were all movies about wandering around punching lackeys until you get to the biggest dude and then you punch them too. Went into WW with such high hopes too from all the praise it was getting, and instead I saw her jumping at randos in slow motion for two hours. It still gets a pass because it's about time a woman gets to star in a generic superhero beat-em-up, but I don't have high hopes for a sequel.

They don't need a reboot, they just need their writers to grow a pair and come up with an actual story.

Edit: oh yeah, video games are good, getting pumped for Hollow Knight Rises tomorrow!

Suicide Squad seems like the kind of film you'd get if you gave the people who make superhero cosplay trailers all the time a $200 million budget to create a feature-length movie.
