brandon routh was robbed by bryan singer’s lousy ass movie he woulda been a great supes he’s so appealing in everything else
did anyone watch that documentary about the Tim Burton Superman Lives movie that never released? kinda cool to see home videos of him and Nic Cage (while wearing the weird blue suit) talking about their take on the material. all the concept art looked so weird an alien.
wow. shrug wasn’t kidding about the dildoships.
i’m going to be honest with you guys…
i saw BvS: DoJ and i did not hate it.
this one is…i mean it’s a mess but like there’s bits of interesting ideas floating around this blackened teal and orange soup. the last hour is fuckin schlocky garbage but i mean i didn’t check out as easily as i did with the first movie. ben affleck is not a terrible bruce wayne and i think jessie eisenberg is the only one who was allowed to have fun on set. it’s a very glum and grim dark though. there’s literally one joke and it happens at what i think is probably the most inappropriate time.
:SPOILER STUFF: i actually kind of enjoyed that batman had weird fever dreams of an oppressive superman future (that seems ripped straight from the Injustice fighting game, weirdly enough) also that was really cool of lex to graphic design some Justice League logos. i laughed super hard at the Aquaman shot. : SPOILER END :
you’re still better off just watching the bruce tim justice league cartoon
ok but what about the crossfit??
Agreeing with ronk. I had a real good time with this pile of hot garbage. Trenchcoat batfleck mowing dudes down with machine guns while WTF DRONE WASPS?! attack was a personal highlight (next to crossfit). I will definitely watch the 5 hour director’s cut.
wake me up when there’s a Squirrel Girl movie
Yeah I saw this in a theater where there were subwoofers built into the seats so that crossfit montage was bitchin @shrug you think you know but you don’t
Did anyone else flashback to the sequence from Hot Shots: Part Deux every time Batman went on a rampage because it sure seemed like the motherfucker racked up an impressive body count for a superhero who isn’t supposed to kill. Also LOL at the idea of him only finding out about other superheroes like 20 years into his crime fighting career.
Batman literally used a hookshot to stab a guy from far away and yank him, Scorpion style, from across the room, to punch him.
I’ll drink a jar of lex luthor’s fresh and frothing piss before I let anyone tell me I don’t know batcrossfit >:[
he does this in burtons batman movie but doesn’t punch him
also Snyder made a superman who kills, a batman who kills, and now as verified by external media, a robin (jesus Christ) of all people who used a halberd instead of a staff and killed people
the worst part is I doubt Snyder is making any kind of point about like superheroes being violent or anything. he is probably the kind of dude who read a batman comic and was like “why don’t they just kill these people to clean up gotham”
it feels deeply prophetic that The Boys is set to become a movie right after Justice League because snyders superheroes are so close to garth ennis’ hateful superhero takedown characters he wrote in that comic
this is a film franchise about deranged lunatic murdergods in rubber armor and it feels so weird to compare it to any other superhero movies right now
It feels surprisingly true to that whole crossover with Mortal Kombat that I’m like, shit, they’re just gonna go ahead and make that happen now aren’t they
and snyders whole opinion on the Murdergods thing is bizarre too - like he can’t conceptualize or rationalize someone being morally opposed to taking a life unless they’ve already killed someone in the past to realize they don’t like it. thinking about how his world in these movies functions is deeply unsettling afterwards: maybe the justice league kills people, because they live in a world where Everybody Gets One For Free
I hope batman batnukes a city
MORE MURDERGODS
MORE MURDER
MORE MORE MORE
BATSKULLS FOR THE SUPERTHRONE
you all know batman and superman aren’t real, right?! :smug:
i say this as someone who knows an embarassingly large amount of MK story lore, but even those games were more interesting and had more fun than some of this crap
from what i’ve seen of more recent Captain America Civil War trailers, that movie sounds like it’ll take whatever nugget of interesting material that could’ve been in Batman Vee Superman and put it into a better movie, so i guess that takes care of that.
I love this 50 year old crossfit edgelord teen.
