Superman, Batman and Justice League are DC.

Avengers, Spiderman and X-Men are Marvel.

It astounds me that people still can't wrap their heads round this stuff. Cue, "too busy getting laid" comebacks

Tbh, anyone not into comics is not gonna know that.

I had to explain to my gf why Iron Man wasn't in Injustice: Gods Among Us.

I don't get what everyone has against Synder, I absolutely love 300 and Watchmen, Legend of the Guardians is one of my favorite animated movies of recent years, and Dawn of the Dead although not amazing is still regarded as one of the better remakes out there. Sucker Punch is in my opinion the only poor movie he's made, and even that still had beautiful visuals.

You have terrible taste in things, most people do not

[Mafro]

Dawn of the Dead is my favourite zombie film ever. Watchmen as pretty good. 300 was trashy fun. Really enjoyed MoS despite the complete lack of humour and fun.

Speaking of Ryan Reynolds, I see R.I.P.D. has bombed tae strawberry float this weekend. That's two comic book movies bombed in a row for him.

[chalkitdown]

While I'm not Snyder's biggest fan, he's not exactly in the same bad league as a Michael Bay or Brett Ratner.

Yeah saw that too. How the hell R.I.P.D got a $130 mil budget when Dread only had around $40/45 mil I don't know.

I dunno, I think he's pretty comparable to Bay. Overblown, lacking in any subtlety, childish and humourless.

You speaketh the truth.

Why do films have to always have humour?

Read lots of criticism of MoS that it was too serious and not light-hearted.

Urrr yeah that's not what they were going for this time around, deal with it.

[Banjo]

Humour doesn't automatically equate to jokes, quips and slapstick. MoS (and the rest of Snyder's films) are humourless because they're relentlessly po-faced and/or grimdark. Made even more silly when the subject matter is as fantastical as it is.

I loved how there was one "joke" in MoS and they saved it for literally the last scene in the film.

Church.

Not hyped for this really. As far as I'm concerned they haven't earned this film. Marvels Cinematic Universe works so well due to each film getting room to breath, their interconnectedness and the build-up between each film. They've only just launched the DC cinematic universe so they should at least have at least another Superman film to allow some build up.

As I said before this just makes it seem like they are fast tracking it to chase some of that Avengers box office money.

I do think storywise it's justified. After a load of Kryptonians have messed up Metropolis in Man of Steel, Batman isn't just going to let Superman carry on his business without determining if he's a threat.

It'd be a bit like a parking attendant trying to stop a bombing raid. He ruined a city accidentally. So if he takes the hump with a guy in a kevlar suit, they might as well sell Dark Knight smoothies.

The American government seemed perfectly happy with Superman come the end of the film, didn't even really mention the millions of civilians he'd probably killed. Almost like they didn't care because he was 'kinda hot'. "But he saved them from an alien threat". The alien threat he brought to Earth and awoke with his self-interested exploration as a gypsy. Maybe in the next film we'll have a 30 minute interlude to punching holes in architecture where they both cry over losing their dad while Pearl Jam plays in the background. Because when I think Superman, the guy in the bright blue suit and the red cape soaring through pristine skylines, I think "80s grunge". I think "merciless, murdering bastard who hates people." Me and Zach Snyder both.

Just so we know, are we talking about the broken, retired Batman or the kid that replaced him that used to be a cop in-training? He still needs a trip to the mountains to be a bad ass, but Ra's is dead so I've no-idea who'll train him. Ach, don't worry. I'm sure he'll make up this whole fighting Super Gods thing as he goes. Can't be that difficult, can it?

As a side note, Batman and Superman have fought numerous times and Batman always wins - or it's presented in a way where Batman wins. Most of them aren't canon (because it would be ridiculous) but that's the score. Which makes Bane tougher than Superman.

You'd think once they'd maybe kowtow to the idea that the invincible alien that shoots lasers from his eyes, moves faster than a speeding bullet, can fly and possesses unearthly strength that would allow him to switch the direction of a planet's rotational axis to the point where he can travel back in time if he fancied, might beat an angry, admittedly quite clever, bloke.

The mental gymnastics people were doing within mere minutes of the announcement to justify a horrible money-grab is a little sad.
