They'll just name them Batman: (insert subtitle) and then bait and switch like the animated movies.

Batman: Justice League

Batman: Wonder Woman

Batman: Aquaman

Batman: Cyborg

Batman: Batman

Yep, checks out, interest in those has gone up 75%

 

[VanWinkle]

I guess it's time to update the chalkboard...

Man of Steel launched the DC cinematic universe. It was the first one with the cast as we know them.

 

[Netherscourge]

Will Smith should have swallowed his pride and done ID: Resurgence, rather than SS.

Instead, we get his portrait up on the wall of the White House.

 

[phanphare]

Ha, ha, what? Marvel has definitely made better movies than Batman Begins, now as for The Dark Knight, nope IMO.

Batman Begins is better than The Dark Knight though..

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Yep.

Really atrocious actress.

"What I do is not up to you."

 

[spiderman123]

Wonderwoman is gonna fail too......and when it does, I'm gonna walk right up to DC comics and Zack Snyder and punch them square in the nuts.

 

[Nokterian]

When you have a CEO at Warner Bros who has no knowledge of movies there is the main problem.

[Ricerocket]

So what will be DC's next good movie?

If they have the same people directing or go on their current formula they have now? Never. They need a shake up.

 

[Timu]

But Batman Begins is better than the Dark Knight...

Better Batman movie? Maybe. Better movie? Nah, it's still great though.

The Joker alone made it better.

 

[FairyD]

35% on RT right now. I was really hoping this one would be good. I'll go see it for Jared's Joker.

Honestly, fuck the critics, who cares what they think

I feel sorry who anyone who lacks the mental capacity to form an opinion for themselves and instead care for a bunch of anti-intellectual nobodies who prefer diluted, cinema-killing, cynical corporate soulless cash grabs like the MCU

 

[jerry113]

Is the super hero movie bubble gonna burst soon?

 

[Metalmarc]

I await Ben Afflecks Batman, dont fuck it up Ben, who is writing it though?

Will still go see this to make my own mind up, just wont expect much.

 

[Bad Trip]

People in this thread really looking to WW and JL to be any different ?? Both those films looked corny and in the same vein as all these other films DC has made in this universe .

Honestly, fuck the critics, who cares what they think

Lol you sound rational and objective . "I really want to like this thing , critics don't like this thing , they're all wrong . " It's cool to judge things for yourself but it's pretty bizarre to attack critics with no relation to each other for finding a film to be not so good . You can still like a film that is percieves as sub par , people do it all the time , but to warp reality and attack the critics is pretty childish .

Edit: I think I got trolled lol

I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but I refuse to believe this is true.

 

[Cyan]

lol love the social media comments. "critics anti-DC bias continues!"

Well every recent DC film has gotten terrible reviews so what other possible conclusion could we draw?

 

[AgentChris]

Who is in charge of these crappy DC movies? These people are making the Sony regime pre-MCU look good.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Better Batman movie? Maybe. Better movie? Nah, it's still great though.

The Joker alone made it better.

Batman Begins is absolutely the better Batman movie.

The Dark Knight is absolutely the better movie.

The Dark Knight probably would have been a better Batman movie if it had actually thought to bring back Gotham City, for one thing.

I mean, what happened to it?

 

[thequestion]

I remember all the heat this film was getting during the re-shoots. Was this movie going to be a 10% rotten tomato score, BEFORE the re-shoots? Or was the film amazing and the studio got cold feet and tinkered with it? Do we have to wait for an "ULTIMATE CUT" of the film to get the true "suicide squad" experience? Is this BvS all over again? I'll wait to pass judgement before seeing the film on friday, but damn....what the fuck is happening at the flailing WB film division? Is there no one out there who knows how to cut together an interesting/exciting/thought provoking film anymore? Is Christopher Nolan the only guy who 'got' it? It's a superhero film, for Christ's sake, not nuclear physics.

...disappointing...

 

[Maintenance]

I don't think WW will be better, SS was the only one I thought that could be good (aside from solo Batman movies)

Will still go see this to make my own mind up, just wont expect much.

Only worry I have about Afflecks Batman movie is will he have complete control? Or will some suit want a say?

 

[Fury451]

I think Suicide Squad looked like it was going to be the shake up needed. If nothing else, DC has a killer marketing team.

Lantern was supposed too but failed miserably so they started over again.

Spoiler

at least that's what I remember

tDK is a pretty bad movie when you think about it. it just has an amazing performance from ledger. take that away and you've got tDKR pretty much. not to mention Two Face.....woof

Ben and Geoff Johns.

Yeah thats a good point. Hmmm you'd hope they'd learn

 

[JaggedSac]

The only MCU that can be considered downright bad are Cap 1 and the Iron Man sequels. For all of Ultron's failures, it's still an okay watch.

Everything else ranges from solid to excellent.

Both Thor movies are garbage tier. The ones you mentioned were definitely bad. Ultron was not an okay watch.

Green Lantern was intended to do this, they botched it after it failed.

I swear, if #supportdcfillms trends again...

Third act of that movie is such a mess. The cruise ship "choice" is one of the dumbest things.

 

[mcrommert]

Batman Begins is absolutely the better Batman movie.

The Dark Knight is absolutely the better movie.

The Dark Knight probably would have been a better Batman movie if it had actually thought to bring back Gotham City, for one thing.

I mean, what happened to it?

Omg seriously...first movie gotham

Second movie new York city

 

[legacyzero]

You coulda saved Independence Day, Will.

It coulda been you.

 

[Anth0ny]

Absoloutely no Marvel film has topped the quality of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, that's for damn sure. And I say that as a die-hard Marvel fan.

Nolan's films felt like actual films, with scope and soul and some kind of artistic sensibility. Marvel's films are just colorful popcorn entertainment mostly featuring shoe-horned fan-service and light-hearted banter. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I think it's misguided to claim any of Marvel's output throughout the last ten years has been particularly outstanding, as fun as those movies might have been.

the only reason I put Avengers at the level of Begins and TDK is just how well it executed on the bolded. It's the perfect fan service movie. The perfect summer blockbuster. The stars of the film are oozing with charisma, and they all come together perfectly. No one is overshadowed, no one has their thunder stolen from them. It has some of the best light hearted banter I've seen in a film. It is one of the most satisfying films I've ever seen. A dream idea come true (The Avengers, on the big screen, AND IT WORKS) and exceeding all expectations.

 

[Stilton Disco]

I bloody knew those trailers were only looking good because of the quick cuts and godly music!

As a life long DC comics fan I am just baffled by how badly they screw up these movies. The CW shows aren't perfect but they're sodding masterpieces compared to this bollocks. Just give those shows feature films and commission some bigger name character series and stop trying to just be edgy miserable Marvel.

Arrow's Suicide Squad died for nothing.

Fuck you DC.

Also this!

 

[bob_arctor]

TDKR is an okay movie at best

the shit I read on gaf lol

As it regards TDKR quality, GAF and almost everywhere else you mean.

 

[mckmas8808]

All those wishing Nolan would come back...hoo boy. Please, no. He had his three movies and he made one good one. In my opinion, of course.

Dude you are crazy. Like objectively all three were good. Subjectively we can speak about how good.

 

[styl3s]

You have literally no standards.

The ps4 version is awful. Stuttery broken mess with framerate all over the place. how can you say it played fine and game is fantastic ? (I'll give my PSN right now to prove I have the ps4 version if you doubt me)

Also extremely short, and has barely any interaction in it.

Don't push it bruh.

framerate is the only thing that i had a problem with but it was still completely playable and i enjoyed it.

Sorry we have different taste? Also people are enjoying it in the OT and it's getting good reviews so ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[GravityInsanity]

Ghostbusters 2016 is better than Suicide Squad. Can't believe I'm saying that in 2016.

 

[3N16MA]

Cap 1 was great before Rogers became Cap. I still wouldn't consider it shit tier.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

lol love the social media comments. "critics anti-DC bias continues!"

Quick, someone tweet to Trump that @HillaryClinton is rigging critic scores now.

 

[Timu]

tDK is a pretty bad movie when you think about it. it just has an amazing performance from ledger. take that away and you've got tDKR pretty much. not to mention Two Face.....woof

I've seen it multiple times and I don't agree with that at all!

 

[Gorillaz]

Cap 1 was only lacking because they threw in way too many montages. Montages FOR montages
