Seriously? He needs cardio and a NO carb diet STAT!

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Agreed, the movie went downhill once he actually became a superhero, which is strange.

It's one of my favourites from the MCU but i agree. They rushed through so much to get him to the future for the sake of Avengers.

I've said it before but I think Dylan McDermott has the perfect seasoned Batman look.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Yeah he kinda looks the part, but he's better to play Joel if a last of us Movie ever happens.

Even though he's American, he's pretty much how I envision Ian Fleming's Bond.

He's more Clark Kent to me than Wayne. Looks wise, i like Ben better for Wayne. View attachment 105872

Nothing says Bruce Wayne more than a beard and a hairpiece.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Yeah I too wanted hamm, he would have been a great batman, I never thought he'd be cast though, but after watching dredd thought Karl urban would have made a great batman, he even had the perfect voice.

Hopefully Ben will do it justice.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

If this guy isn't the perfect Bruce Wayne, I have no idea who is.

That's because there's no other choice. He IS Bruce Wayne. Everybody always says "I like Batman because he's relatable; because, if I was determined enough and studied hard enough and worked out enough, I could be Batman. No, you wouldn't, because you don't have Jon Hamm's genetic code.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Jon Hamm should have been Captain America, if he weren't old as ****.

I thought First Avenger was average when I first saw it, because nothing really stood out. It felt like it was hitting all the notes it was expected to hit, and did a serviceable job, but was nothing particularly special. My wife didn't care anything about Cap in that movie, because he was just some generic guy, who happened to get super powers. If I were an average moviegoer who wasn't particularly familiar with that guy, I probably would have forgotten half the movie a couple months down the road. And I am a huge Cap fan, so I was hoping for more. I was happy to get him on the screen and all, but after that and Avengers I was starting to wonder if he would ever be done justice. I'm happy to say that after Winter Soldier, it's finally happened.

Amazing Spider-Man is average for similar kinds of reasons IMO. And again, I hope it improves in the sequel.

**** that "old" ****. You agist! Plus, Steve Rogers doesn't have jet black hair? Pfft.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Well, I don't suppose there's any law against Batman having dentures and wearing an adult diaper. Sure, why not? Give Hamm a shot!

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

I don't care what Batfan says, he's clearly gay for Hamm. His posts about the subject just ain't kosher.

Every male is entitled to one man-crush without his sexuality being called into question. I would totally leave my future wife and kids to be Hamm's (platonic) roommate. He's like that one dude in High School who you should hate for being totally perfect, but you can't help but think he's awesome.

Has there been any comic book movie that has just blown you away? You always seem so low key, with pretty restrained enthusiasm. I'm only saying that because for some reason I expect you to be more impressed by certain movies than you end up being. Even TWS seemed to be kind of an, "eh, yeah it was pretty good I guess."

 

[karamazov80]

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Yeah, Begins, Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2, X2, Iron Man. Honestly, Thor 2 was pretty freaking awesome to my eyes. I also thought Winter Soldier was awesome, I was just recognizing that it wasn't more than it was trying to be. But I've got my own peculiar ideas about what makes a comic movie exceptional, as do most of us I'm sure. I know Thor 2 is crapped on by a lot of people, but I felt it was one of the most well executed action comic movies yet.

Best comic movie overall is still probably Incredibles IMO.

Yes, very much so, way more than Hamm. Dylan has that edge Bruce needs. Hamm is Superman. Watch Hamm when he's in 30 Rock and he is totally Clark Kent, bumbling and awkward with glasses. Totally Superman in my eyes.

Bit of a Brosnan clone, no? (Dylan McDermott)

Gotcha. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2, X2, and Iron Man are probably the five that are most commonly agreed to be the "best comic book movies ever" (with possibly STM and B89 following, though I'm pretty sure TWS will take it's place among them as well) so I wouldn't say your tastes are *that* peculiar. Only Thor 2 really goes against the grain and now that you mention it I do recall you seeming pretty excited over it. I really enjoyed that one as well. Possibly my third favorite MCU movie behind TWS and TFA.

I *loved* The Incredibles when it first came out but haven't seen it all the way through in years and whenever it's on TV and I check it out it never seems to grab me the way it used to anymore.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)

Rewatched Incredibles recently, still good, but I would never in a million years place it above STM/89Batman/S2/BB/TDK/IM1/Thor1/TFA/Avengers/TWS.
