Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

Yeah, "grim and gritty" doesn't work so well for kids' toys, usually. But credit to WB, they clearly didn't let Mattel (?) dictate character designs and story elements. Not sure I can say the same for Marvel. . .

Yea could have just stopped after MkIII

I'm still amazed by this today. I remember that HT announcement that they were doing ALL the variations and I thought they were joking..

I bet you would have a different reaction if those were all variations of Terminator

Low blow

The only way Terminator could compare is if they started making characters like Gibbons. Actually Gibbons had more screentime than some of those Iron Mans.

 

[EVILFACE]

I think there have been more Black Widows than Terminators.

There's actually a story reason why Tony has all those armors, so Iron Man is a pretty genius character from a marketing standpoint. Tony keeps upgrading his armor to deflect from the fact that his own person keeps regressing. Or at least that's why I gathered from the movies. I don't know about Age of Ultron because I didn't pay attention while watching. The only things I remembered from that film was the hammer scene and Iron Man punching Hulk. Apparently it ties into Civil War, so I should probably watch it. I read that Ant Man does as well, so I guess I should get on that too. I just don't want to get burned out superhero movies before Civil War comes out. I'm sure once May comes around, I'll be in hype mode and it won't be an issue at all.

I just don't want to get burned out superhero movies before Civil War comes out so I'm now planning to stick with BvS and Civil War for the year. There's also Daredevil Season 2, and there's no way I'm missing that since Punisher is my favorite comic book protagonist outside of Batman.

That's great and all, but it still amazes that HT has done almost ALL of the armors, even some that were on screen for .2 of a second.

Do they all sell THAT well? How many Black Widow Barbies do collectors need?

Where is that 1/6 Endo that they promised?

Oh well.

I forgot they cost money and take up space! You're right. That is kind of odd that they'd spend so much money to make such obscure figures because they're not financially feasible for most collections. If someone's going to spend all that money on a Hot Toy, I'd assume they'd want to stick to the main models. Then again, I don't own any Iron Man figures or Hot Toys! It would be cool if some rich guy bought them all to donate to some children's hospital, so the kids could look forward to seeing a new entry in a Hall of Armors.

Someone say House Party Protocol?

My biggest issue with Watchmen was the alley fight when Night Owl & Silk Spectre are throwing people around like ragdoll when they are supposed to be the "normal" heroes. But as you say its a Snyderism and in the big picture they still didn't compare with power level of Manhattan, just as Batman will still be clearly weaker than that other guy.

Is think it was the only way Warner Bros would have agreed to do the movie.
Ok you can do your depressing long dark movie but make sure that you have cool fights between them.
Im ok with most fights and slowmo moments because to me its like how they see themselves, all sexy and iconic.
But the alley fight is way over the top, too choreographied, they end up killing a few guys too wtf.
The comedian vs Ozzy is ok but i would have done with less slowmo, more brutal handheld.
Only the final one with Ozymandias should have been very choreographied and stylized.

French Magazine Cinésaga Confirms Jena Malone As Barbara Gordon, Scoot McNairy As Jimmy Olsen And Callan Mulvey As KGBeast

I thought Scoot Mcnairy was playing a different role? Is the magazine wrong?

Im from France.
That magazine is a joke and is using rumors.
They have no insiders or official infos.
Ignore it.

SHHHHHHHHHH! He'll hear you. It's like saying Beetlejuice three times. Don't do it.

Lol I have an idea who you guys are talking about.

Nice find Sachiel, will look deeper after work.

It's cool to see that the regular cowl has drop down lenses. I hope it means we get to see white eyes batman in this movie!

 

[Rorywan]

..that's pretty funny stuff considering the huge rubber muscle suit, I mean Affleck as Wayne looks about 1/3 the size of that.

I wish Cavills hair style was reversed for Kent/Superman.
