Ya can't go back.

Tell that to Pete "Maverick" Mitchell

Exception that proves the rule?

But even that film didn't shy away from loss and change as a result of time's march. Trainspotting 2 did a decent job of that too.

I’m in the middle with this film. A lot riding on it. Lots of hype and eyes surrounding it. If it fails then say bye bye to dc superhero films for decades to come but if it’s good and wins the fans over then yhid could be the start of a new era for dc. And I’m a DC fan so I’m hoping for the best but I won’t glaze it if it’s not good

 

[ironwez20]

Maybe you’re right, Snyder got a lot right imo. Just missed on the big aspects, his tone was great but the storytelling rushed. If only we could have got some more world building (especially with batman) I think the first few years of Snyderverse could have been saved easily. The rest however….

Eh, the topic has been discussed to death at this point.

As long as WB doesn’t touch Reeve’s Bats, Gunn can do what ever the hell this is turning into.

Too bad they can’t find a way to go in the direction of the Animated adventures, BTAS/Arkham Etc. Imagine a Mask of the Phantasm live action movie or something similar adapting something from the Superman Animated Show.

That’s what was dc’s problem from the start. They never trusted there characters. I don’t like snyders movies but atleast the man pulled from existing stories and made suits from existing stories and tried to incorporate them into love action .

Also idk if these were posted but this suit could have looked different so many ways. View attachment 710693View attachment 710694

Looks 10% better without the undies.

Nope 100% worse.

But even then the undies is just putting lipstick on a pig.

Not really. Not in today's cinematic dulldrums.

Until the reboot 2 years later.

Have you been paying attention the last 20+ years? How many Batman movies has there been?

So you’re saying that studio is healthy and funded enough that it can just continuously keep losing $300 million with no consequences?

Seems like it, doesn't it? They keep making these $200-300 million movies that tank. And yet they still keep making and remaking the same 12 movies.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Flying dogs though... for me, that's going too far in the other direction. But the seals public will probably love it.

The idea of a dog with Superman's powers is kind of terrifying.

They’re called Pit Bulls lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

I can't take Cujo seriously with the cape.

 

[lordnastrond]

I'm already straining my credulity to breaking point with the idea of aliens looking like human beings [its why I always preferred the alternative origin of Kryptonians being future humans escaping heat death by going to the past but being trapped in a stable time loop meaning they have to accept their demise with Krypton]
But for some reason the idea that Krypton also evolved its own version of golden retrievers is just too far for me.

Can I say something I've been sitting on for a while?
I'm not into Gunns style and I thought his Suicide Squad movie was overhyped to ****.
Its a pretty simple formula - zany hijinks + graphic [or at least suggestive] violent sequences with a dissonant background soundtrack + one or two heartfelt scenes to counterbalance the sardonic quippy tones = Gunn.
Its not a bad formula, but fairly distracting when you catch on.
The Suicide Squad is just okay - and Peacemaker is outright good - but neither of them blew my mind.

The one thing this movie has going for it that has me excited is its cast.

Since tdkr there was bvs and then the Batman. So maybe like three? It was spread out.

Have you forgotten Batman and Robin? It almost destroyed the brand and dc was hesitant to even touch Batman again .
Lest we forget that Batman use to be a huge laughing stock for a short period of time. Those bat nipples wouldn’t go away. Dc is reactionary. I wouldn’t put it past them to sell the rights to Disney if this universe doesn’t take off

3? There were 3 movies of Nolan's Batman alone. How many Affleck movies? Plus The Batman. Plus, The Flash. All in less than 20 years. That's crazy.

Have a Pitty, can confirm. At least he has the attitude of a Clark and not a Zod.

(a LOT of training, great Duck dog tbh.)

Ahh.. A true Batman fan, just because Batman is in a movie does *not* make it a batman movie.

Well affleck never got his stand-alone film tbh.

A crime. But do we really think it would have been on Par with Reeves? Maybe… it could of been extremely close to what a lot of Batman fans wanted.
