You mean, aside from all the scenes of him holding back so he doesn't murder assholes and bullies with a single punch? HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:It's just highlighting how silly Batman's stance is. It's perfectly fine to paralyze a guy from the waist down or put him in traction for a year, but hey, at least he isn't dead! That was one of my favorite parts of Dark Knight, where the mob dude is like "Falling from this height wouldn't kill me." "I'M COUNTING ON IT" and pushes him off and it brutally shatters his legs, like, holy poo poo.

Codependent Poster posted:I like people saying this. So care to tell me which parts were his and which weren't? He left before shooting even start right? So yeah, I imagine you can't really tell, it's not like Trank's Fantastic Four, where it's really easy to tell which scenes were reshoots because the studio didn't like what he made. For what it's worth, Trank's FF is 2/3rds of a great sci-fi film, the ending is just garbage because feels like it came off the cutting room floor of the earlier FF films. 8one6 posted:I did the "All the movies!!!" marathon for AoU.

I believe Alfred mentions offhand that him and Bruce have been fighting crime for 20 years Clark Kent tries to tackle the issue in the paper, but gets shut down. "No one wants to see Clark Kent take on the goddamn Batman" Superman ignores it until Bats goes totally loving bonkers blowing up and shooting the harbor with no regard.

Making murder fun is the definition of dark humour, just because you chuckle doesn't make it light hearted. Also Arnie is the villain in Predator. Not to say that, Iron Man is dark comedy, it's just a power fantasy that has super loving bleak implications that movie doesn't touch, I find that far more disturbing than it taking everything out of Superman to kill Zod. Like that scene where he wastes ten guys with precision and leaves the last guy to get torn apart of innocent people. No amount of smug can't make that fun.

Daveski posted:Just got back from BvS, thought it was quite good. Definitely not perfect, but I liked it much more than I was expecting to (for the record, I'm lukewarm towards Man of Steel). I suspect SMG is right in thinking that the extended cut will end up being an improvement. We see him later in the film It's the Flash, notice the lightning around him poking his head out of time/using his power to dropkick the guy holding up the corner store. He says some ambiguous things, about Batman being right about "him" and Lois being a key, but the finishes up with "Am I too early?" So yeah, time traveling Flash.

bring back old gbs posted:In MOS Zod pops out of his prison and instead of moving on and living his life, since his planet and laws are dead, he continues to follow and enforce those laws. Like travels to another planet and enforces kryptonian law because it was his only purpose of existing. That guy would not pull the sneaky poo poo Lex pulled to get the ship to obey him. The ship would has told Zod it was against the law and Zod would have accepted it in an instant zero questions asked. If only they would have explained this to us better! Jor-El: We've had a child, Zod. A boy child. Krypton's first natural birth in centuries, and he will be free, free to forge his own destiny. General Zod: Heresy! Destroy it! General Zod: Your father equipped himself with great honor Kal. Superman: You killed my father? General Zod: I did. And not a day goes by that it does not haunt me. But if I had to do it again I would. I have a duty to my people, and I will not allow anyone to prevent me from carrying it out! General Zod: Look at this. We could have built a new Krypton in this squalor, but you chose the humans over us. I exist only to protect Krypton. That is the sole purpose for which I was born. And every action I take, no matter how violent or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now... I have no people. My soul, that is what you have taken from me!

Tuxedo Catfish posted:My least favorite part of BvS is that they take a completely true and insightful perspective on the world and use it to help characterize Lex Luthor as an evil madman. The problem of evil has no solution apart from giving up one of the aspects of God, and power is never innocent. This would all be well and good if they continued MoS's portrayal of Superman as someone who's essentially human despite his alien heritage, to let the film essentially say "you're right; I'm not God, but I try to be good" and have Lex be wrong because he misunderstood Superman -- but it doesn't follow through on that, despite hinting at it early on. Instead Snyder doubles down on the Christ imagery and teases him literally rising from the dead at the end. "God is good, and he's a farm boy from Kansas." I disagree with your reading of Man of Steel, it's explicitly about how he is a god among men. The shot of him standing over the dog as a kid, the importance of his father giving his life for the dog, and so on. bring back old gbs posted:I read a few posts here saying he is crazy because he gets infected/affected by Darkseid but I don't know where they're pulling that from. The end of the film he's taunting Batman about how the bell has been rung, and it's bringing attention. The camera even goes to Luthor's father's room and shows the upside down painting of the demon descending from above. Darkseid.
