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

[Platty]

I properly love this film. I'm seeing it again Friday. I can't wait.

So this morning I seen a post somewhere showing a picture of the batmobile filming on set of suicide squad and the machine gun isn't on the front of the batmobile anymore. I took it as it was just a filming element. Not a story element. But the Person posting it seems to think it signifies batman taking a no kill rule after the events in BVS. I don't really believe this, I haven't seen any other batman pics from suicide squad and I can't remember if the machine gun was in any trailers or not, but it got me thinking.

Maybe batman does adopt this no kill policy after BVS? He doesn't brand lex at the end of BVS. He hits the wall with it instead. Either he's less brutal or he's out the bat signal on the wall in the cell to build on what he said about how "he'll always be watching"

Either way it got me thinking

That CW post by khev was a great thing to wake up to.

This film has brought with it some great analysis in here, funny and serious...pro and con.

What a pleasure it is reading this stuff.

Platty, I believe the Batman v Joker is a prequel to BvS.

Sure, but BvSiss Jar just continues the same Supes from MoS, so it shouldn't be a surprise, right?

The surprise was that the "versus" in the title was settled like this:




WB/DC better chain Snyder to a descending submarine if they ever want to see justice done to their IP in a live action film.

\/This costs a lot less than $200 million to produce yet it's 200 million times better than BvS:

These types of threads always die out eventually but atleast the party can continue in the Justice League thread. I wonder if the conversation in there will reach such heights?!

If it's like this movie, probably

Perfect!

WB need to stop being *******. If they really want to go "dark" and "realistic", they need to make a movie with this guy....

It is great read some of the posts made in here. Here's a shout out to you, Khev, IrishJedi, DiFabio, batfan, darthkostis, karamazov, Gaspar, and Clown Prince. All of you guys always bring the goods to these discussions. If I knew how to give rep, I would. Thanks guys for all your input.

Tonally, yes, but thematically? BvS is more akin to this MiracleMan:

Than it is to this MiracleMan (****):

I've not read everything MM related (I have most stored in my PC, but I need time...), but if you try and adapt that, then you need a hard, hard, R. It's closer to horror territory than it is to super-hero territory. Oh and ****. It's not MiracleMan without in-depth descriptions of the characters' sex lives...

Don't pay no mind to DiFabio, kara and Gully, they belong to a Superman the Movie Cult known as Thulsa Otis, they'll say anything to paint Snyderverse as dark and depressing when the reality is that MOS/BvS are actually very light hearted kids movie at its core, bring your young children, they'll love it.

Oh, and take your kids to go see The VVitch!

Well, now I'm really jealous... I've got to rely on digital copies for the time being, and they're just not the same. Strange thing is, some issues cost 10$, some 3$, and then some skyrocket to 400$ or so (like #15). At least Marvel's putting out reprints for us folks.

You know, childhood trauma usually gets painted in a negative light, but it can sometimes be a good thing! Silver lining is that kids won't be as negatively affected later on in life, when they are exposed to the dark and cynical at a very young age.

Batman is just the coolest in this movie. Not only did he echo some of our greatest real life heroes when he ran toward the collapsing skyscraper (and gratuitous or not it DID give me what I believe to be the slightest peek at the horror those emergency workers faced and the unbridled heroism many of them displayed by charging into it) but even from a purely fantasy sense just that moment when Supes was down for the count up in space and Bruce, alone, quickly analyzed the situation, determined how Doomsday could be killed, and *by himself* used his own body and ship to lure the KRYPTONIAN MONSTER to the place it could be defeated.

I mean the thing was pretty much 9/11 on two legs and he elected to dance with it. Damn.
