Batman v. Superman

[CT III]

I don't even need to watch this trailer to know that this is going to be a great movie.

Counterpoint: this movie will be ass.

How long would the movie possibly be? Bats whips some Kryptonite out of his utility belt, beats Supes to death.

Well the comic which inspired it, The Dark Knight Returns, basically had Batman in a robot suit use a bunch of cheap tricks and cheat enought that he actually bloodied Superman's nose before faking his own death. A bunch of fanboys then turned this into a stirring, knock out victory for Batman that has become the basis for 30 years of stupidity and also the ever-present problem that WB and DC, the people who make Superman, really don't actually like Superman.

Which results in Man of Steel, a boring, humorless movie where bright colors are outlawed that ends with Superman destroying a city and snapping a dude's fucking neck.

So combine a thoroughly unlikeable Superman with a Batman based on the most psychopathic version of the character ever written (Frank Miller is an advisor on the film. After he had two hits with TDKR and Batman: Year One, he wrote more Batman stories where the guy mentally abused Robin and forced him to eat fucking rats to survive), directed by a guy whose "best" movie was 300, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

In "An Evening With Kevin Smith", KS describes being approached by Jon Peters to do a Superman movie. I strongly recommend finding the clip on YouTube.

Oh I've watched that clip. It's standing. What's hilarious is that in the third act of Man of Steel Superman fights something that definitely resembles a giant mechanical spider.

Netflix or HBO has "The Death of Superman Lives" available.  Smith retells the whole story.

I'm assuming this is the story that ends with Smith marveling that Peters finally got his giant, mechanical spider in Wild, Wild West?

Honestly at this point I wish DC would go the Guardians of the Galaxy route and do a movie on one of their lesser known properties that isn't going to be bogged down by decades obsessing over continuity.

Hell, they could do that with Green Lantern if they wanted.  It's basically Space Police With Magic Rings.

They are doing that on TV. Arrow, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow.  And the Flash (which is quite fun) despite him being well known.

The Flash TV show is perfect in every way.

Yeah, I've no complaints about DC's television shows, from the current crop and going back to the animated series (Batman, Superman, Justice League, JLU, Young Justice, Green Lantern) most of it has been very good to excellent.  

Edited to add that Gotham is a goddamned mess.

Danielle Panabaker's hairstyle this season is horrible. The chick who is Hawkgirl has freakishly large teeth.

Other than that, it's great.

They are correct to do so. I love that show unreservedly.

You don't really have to troll for my Zack Snyder butthurtedness. You could just say "hey, SKO, you got some Zack Snyder butthurt you want to let off your chest" and I'll oblige every time.

I'll definitely see this movie, but Ben Affleck's growly Batman voice in the trailer was somehow worse than Christian Bale's. And Jesse Eisenberg? Really?

Oh I can't pretend I won't see this movie. I'm a masochist like that. Everyone I knew that gives a shit about such things told me not to watch Man of Steel, I had to see the horror for myself nonetheless.
