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

[I Am Toys]

Honestly, I think it was a mistake signaling his rise. How awesome would it be for us to get introduced to this:

Only to find out that in reality, it's this:

Oh that story would be sweet! Lol.

 

[Victοr]

Oh that story would be sweet! Lol.

Earth 2 started off great, then turned good, but ended like horse****. The DCYou vol was atrocious, but Abnett kinda redeemed it in the last few issues.

 

[ironwez20]

Nothing against the performances or even its intended purpose....it was just random felt unnecessary.

Spoiler

Here I am walking in the mountains then boom Pa Kent (who is deceased) is piling rocks...actually funny when I think of it that way.

Yea. Talking about cakes and horses drowning and ****. i thought that was so weird.

That would be awesome.

Much as I hated him as Luthor, he was an enjoyable villain, I'll admit. As far as the MCU goes, most of their villains don't have any character BUT, the MCU contains the Kingpin, Alexander Pierce, Loki and Kilgrave, all of whom I'm putting above Lex. But he surely surpasses the rest.

Oh yeah, Netflix Villains are better. I was talking in terms of movies, I should have clarified. I think I will put Loki above Lex. Maybe even Pierce as you mentioned. Was nice to see a villain though like Lex on screen.

Jr. was energetic, sure, but as a Luthor, I didn't like him. At all. Maybe he'll redeem himself in his next outing. Or, he's gonna get killed in prison and we'll get Heisenberg as Luthor Sr. Boom, everybody wins!

 

[jye4ever]

Lex > Pierce

Not even close.

 

[IrishJedi]

So Faraci's claim of 800 million just to break even is inaccurate?

Yes. Absolutely inaccurate.

Which shouldn't surprise anyone.

He knows **** all what he's talking about there, and as usual, is trying to push a (false) narrative.

I wouldn't be opposed to that

I think we will see Lex evolve into the Lex everyone knows while in jail.

 

[Victοr]

Not even close.

Yeah, from what we heard about him, Lex Sr. sounded bad-ass as hell...

 

[Victοr]

I wouldn't be opposed to that

Maybe. I sure wish he does. I want this Lex:

 

[ironwez20]

We all want this lol.

They will just keep on making Batman movies. Guaranteed money in their pockets.

It's not just about getting any profit at all but maximizing profit. Potential revenue vs actual revenue. Sure bvs may end up turning a profit, but it would have generated a much, much larger profit both in box office and related merch sales if it had been a good movie and been universally liked and well regarded. Not to mention a solid foundation for their planned future dccu films. 2 (3 if you count green lantern) films deep into their shared cinematic universe and they are all lackluster critical flops? Not good if you want to be maximizing profit from your property and building not eroding your fan base.

I guess i'm done with Faraci.

 

[jye4ever]

You just know that the US government would

Spoiler

dig up Superman and send his ass to the sun to try to revive him! You don't even have to go, just point and shoot!

 

[YoNoSe]

So I guess Superman's secret identity is gone forever in this continuity?

 

[WWEJedi]

I guess i'm done with Faraci.

Part of his review is actually somewhat good though... the other part is just terrible

 

[guyver1]

Maybe. I sure wish he does. I want this Lex:

Not in a zillion years if it's still Eisenberg

 

[WWEJedi]

You would think. I mean

Spoiler

Clark Kent and Superman die on the same day. Both look similar Then again, everyone who could recognize Supes during the hearing all died.

 

[WWEJedi]

Not in a zillion years if it's still Eisenberg

I think he could pull that off.

Is it not just a case of that the DC Universe was never destined to be a 'huge' success at the movies? In regards to Marvel their characters are more family friendly, kids love Spider-Man (really love him!) and characters like Iron Man and Hulk are fun and big and bright, kids live them too. Outside of Batman I'm not really a DC fan and I think this is the case for the general audience, well apart from Superman.
