It was kinda like a philosophy-lite version of some of those less-known action-y movies that dare to think outside the box a little. It was shallow compared to an actual high concept film, or compared to an innovative action movie that aims for depth rather than ticket sales, but it was such a massive step up from any previous superhero/comic book movie that it was actually a big deal. At least that's the way I looked at it. The actors/writers were really good at making you think there was a tonne of depth from the trailers/first viewing, even though there actually wasn't much beneath the surface . TDKR was alright. I thought it was a fun watch, but watching it the second time was pretty mediocre. There's really nothing to it other than the big reveal at the end. There were so many interesting social issues they brought up, but at the beginning of the third act they literally just abandoned all of them in the most moronic way possible (jk guys Bane is actually just evil not trying to fix anything kekekeke) for the sake of simplicity. That's what I'm saying. They were awesome on first watch, but all the cracks appear as you watch them again. I think even moreso than some campier superhero movies, which were worse upon first viewing. | ||

In more exciting news, Nolan and his brother are working on a new sci-fi with the ideas from Kip Thorne, a top theoretical physicist from Caltech. Basically he does a lot of work on wormholes, black holes, and time travel. Bale is locked into two Terrence Malick films. I wonder who the new batman will be. | ||

Disney/Marvel = Avengers DC Comics = Justice League Sony/Fox = X-men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man Fucking too much. At least Sony/Fox should join up with Disney. Greedy bastards.... go with the originator (Marvel). My expectations in the X-men/Fantastic 4 movie are zero. | ||

One of the reasons batman is able to so handily thrash Superman in the trap he sets is Arrow puts a kryptonite arrow through the man of steel.. They said they will use ideas from The Dark Knight Returns along with other source materials. A lot of comic book movies rarely stick to one source material, but encompasses about two or three source materials. It is like how Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises had elements of Breaking the Bat, No Man's Land, etc. On July 22 2013 04:01 Griffins wrote: Looking bad so far... Looks like Bale and Nolan are not going to be involved, which leaves us with Zach Snyder and one-third of Nolan's screenwriting crew. So basically this is Man of Steel 2. It was known from the star that this IS a Man of Steel sequel. Majority of the cast is returning. Nolan is now an Executive Producer instead of just a Producer.

A lot of people would like to see that, but no way in hell will Fox and Sony give up their movie rights especially with how much money they can make off it. At least Sony and Marvel Studios is willing to work with each other to some degree since there was suppose to be a small connection with Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man in the first Avengers movie. | ||

This movie is probably not going to be Superman vs. Batman. Snyder said that TDKR would serve as a guide for the relationship between Superman and Batman during the movie - namely, that Batman doesn't trust Superman and is contemptuous and a little passive-aggressive towards him. Nothing about the main plot being Superman fighting Batman. Probably what will happen is like what happened in the "World's Finest" three-parter of Superman the Animated Series, where there is one very brief Superman vs. Batman tussle (Batman punches Superman, Superman throws Batman across the room, Batman pops out some Kryptonite, the fight stops and they work together after that). So I think most of the bitching here is wayyyy off-base. Doesn't mean that people are wrong that this movie will probably suck balls though. The villains will probably be stupid choices and the story will probably be equally stupid. I'd like to see Lex Luthor and Metallo vs. Superman and Batman, maybe with Dr. Strange as the Batman villain thrown in. World's best detective and "I have plans upon plans upon plans to take out all the superheroes / supervillains cus I'm the goddamn Batman" aside, if the Superman villain is someone like Brainiac or Darkseid I can't see where Batman would actually be very useful, and Batman's villains are too not superpowered to be a threat to Superman. Have Luthor and Strange for a battle of wits against Batman and Metallo for a villain that can threaten Superman but also not be totally out of of Batman's league in a fight, if Batman prepared properly. Also please no Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Batman, the "Nolanverse" should be completely shut off from other DC movies' continuity. If the Christian Bale Batman movies are taking place in the same universe as Man of Steel, where the hell was Superman when Ra's was trying to fear-gas Gotham, when the Joker was killing dozens of people at a time, and when Bane held the biggest American city in the DC-verse hostage for six months? | ||

The Keaton movies were not what the batman franchise had to redeem itself from. It was the Kilmer and Clooney movies that were terrible. Batman 1989 was pretty fucking decent. | ||

Batman vs. Robin doesn't count because as goofy as it was, the movie had the gall to take itself seriously and was just an unmitigated disaster. Tim Burton's take was great, and Nolan's take was great (and of course TAS was the best), but at this point we don't really need another "dark" Batman. It actually would be a refreshing change of pace to have something more like Adam West's Batman. | ||

But you know, screw that movie. Everyone knows Superman is a cheating fraud. edit: dude what?? Batman is the fucking super hero from the dark. Adam West was ridiculous. the only thing he had going for him was his batmobile with a nuclear reactor. thats it. | ||
