No idea, man. You'd know better than me. Maybe he meant the final scene, but said shot?

Wayne of Gotham is trash. Rest is middling to meh.
It's stuff like this that really makes the whole ordeal fun to watch
Like they are hard-working victims or something

Oh wow. Harry Knowles. I haven't heard that name in a very, very long time.

I'm confused. They talk about the press conference, but Mayimbe goes on to say he's seeing the movie Monday and Tuesday night next week. Are they just bitching about the press conference or what?
I'll admit I'm completely ignorant to traffic hits for these sites, but the highest view total for a recent article on Heroic Hollywood is 3500 views. Most of the stuff is 500, 1500, 2500. It doesn't seem like WB is missing out on much to be honest.

They wanted to see it this week instead of next week, but couldn't. That's it, they are throwing a tantrum over that.

Wow. The entitlement is real.
Does this really qualify as a tantrum?
Mayimbe wasn't invited? He's been the biggest DC shill on the internet.. after myself

Considering how many tweets took place, how the fans just don't get their passion, and traffic data being tossed about to discredit why other outlets are going? I'd say so.
It's not hard to understand. People like to feel wanted. When your career is basically writing and obsessing over geek movies every day, and your readers all expect you to be at the top of things, it can feel upsetting when the studio gives you the cold shoulder and doesn't consider you a VIP. I can understand it. But I also think they should just #dealwithit. Lol.
I didn't mean you friend. I was just referring to that guy's opinion.
It's like saying the last shot of Interstellar is interesting. Or the last shot of The Dark Knight is interesting. It's just kind of a bizarre thing to say. It's pretty obvious what people are going to speculate about the most about in this movie coming out from it, and it's
the future visions or alternate reality visions or whatever the hell they are for Buttman and Supersauce that happen throughout the movie. It's all weird but this is the sticking point since the biggest fan hype kind of moment, outside of Batman stealing the whole damn show, in the movie happens here. This is what most people are going to be interested in from a future standpoint.
Edit:
All I know is I've lost all hope for The Rock in Justice League. The guy films a dozen movies in a year, but they couldn't work this in somehow. When do we see this guy? I don't have anything against Aquaman, but I'm not keen on his story just yet. I don't even want the DC equivalent of loving to sit in chairs yet. Just put Black Adam there. It's the perfect time. There is no Justice League. You don't bring in a world destroyer to get your heroes together. You want someone a little more humane. Someone we can relate to. The People's Champ. And an ancient Egyptian who is superficially like Apocalypse is the perfect fit.
Nobody wants Darkside. Go home and be a family man. And no one knows Aquaman. I don't know him. Who's he? You want to introduce Atlantis in Justice League? Wouldn't it be smarter to save that for Aquaman where you can put in the level of effort required to make it really impressive? Unless it's all about a surface threat, but forget that.
This is all the fault of that one poster. Polarbur or something. It's you, man. You destroyed dreams friend. I came out dreaming, and you killed that dream dead before it could even take flight.
I'll patiently wait for Justice League 3 where we finally get The Rock vs. Batman & Superman. They can even put that as the subtitle.

I mean look. From what little exposure I have had to Lobo, I can say that I find the character fun. I don't know much else about him and don't know of any major comic book stories of his that need to be told on the big screen. But yes, his solo movie can absolutely be a major hit on par with DP. People that are crying saying it's just a knee jerk reaction to Deadpool... we'll I don't necessarily disagree with that. But it isn't really a bad thing. Some would say Suicide Squad was a knee jerk reaction to Guardians of the Galaxy, and now the buzz around SS is all but positive with many fans looking forward to Suicide Squad more than BvS . All that being said, I do think making a good Lobo solo film is a bit of an uphill battle. It could be great but in my opinion I think there are other characters more deserving of their own movie... *cough*Ropeguy*cough*
To me it just comes off as petty. Don't cry about not getting invited to a press screening, you come off as bad and WB comes off as looking justified in not inviting your entitled ass.
What did he mean by this?

They are letting hundreds(?) of folks see the movie early anyways. So word of mouth is going to get around
Faraci and /Film and everyone else can go stand in line, and if that impacts their reviews negatively then they weren't worth respecting anyhow

The thing is... it seems like they will have still see it early
Just not today/this week, but next Tues
Also imagine probably sad/mad some of the reviews will be out before then since the embargo is up at 3pm and review screening isn't until 7pm

Funny you should mention Joe, he's another internet personality who's been pretty down on this movie since its announcement.

Wise advice. I've never understood it all, either.
I'd love to see early word of mouth be extremely positive and then have these angry critics who didn't get an invite come out with guns blazing with their negative impressions. Be quite entertaining.
this book was my first introduction to comic book Batman, the real deal up until that point the cartoon and the movie version was all I knew starting from the beginning you knew this was a whole other beast with Batman observing the thugs analyzing them going through the motions, that guy is bench pressing 300 pounds he probably can handle himself , another thug holding a piece I'll take him out with a kick to the solar plexus ect ect
the book goes into detail about the training running x amount of miles, the meditation techniques to get a full night rest in only an hour, this Batman is a machine, Bane is also amazing in the story too bad they changed his story for the movie this one is much better imo I became a huge Azrael/Jean Paul Valley fan because of this book, I cant recommend this book enough I'm so hyped to finally see comic book Batman in the big screen in BvS

Especially since you've got ignore/block buttons for that shit.
^ Murderer!
Isn't he like a joke personality though? Like he's angry or something? That's some coincidence though. The point I was making was that the environment you put yourself in will rub off on you whether you realize it or not. I get that there seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding these movies, but you have to learn to have fun with this stuff.
Oh lol.

Yep, bloggers are very similar to youtubers. Same thing, actually. What baffles me is that they have a pretty hardcore following. Look at el mayimbe and faraci followers when they post something, it's really weird the whole thing.
he has done a 180 regarding the movie and is pretty hyped now, oddly enough.
Oh I don't mind em for the odd scoop here or there
I just find tonight's... ordeal fascinating. Think keep using that word.
But it's like being the cool kid in HS, but going to a college partty and realizing no one cars.
Like I'm curious to see how this all shakes out.
Fixed.

It looks like Wave 2 of the Batman v Superman DC Multiverse figures are starting to pop up in stores: http://thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=93301&start=1350#p2888192
They should probably get a better career if it affects them that much. You can't expect folks to care when you're a blogger. I mean, you're a blogger. No offence intended, or maybe a little, but that's just how it is. No one's going to care.

Angry Joe's gripes are legit. He's a big fan of Supes, I mean he literally wears his symbol. And he also has a point. It must be annoying for Superman fans to see their favorite character have to share a movie with Batman instead of get his own sequel. It should also be noted that he loved MoS. If anyone hasn't seen the Nostalgia Critic's review of Man of Steel, where Joe guest stars, I highly recommend it. It's hilarious but if you do watch it, I should also give you a trigger warning as it deals with some of the old Snyder bashing complaints.
And I mean, you can't be mad at the guy for expressing his negativity when "Angry" is literally in his title.
As happy as I am for the TDK trilogy, I'm kind of beginning to hope that Nolan comes back to it for one more movie. Just make it so that Blake died, since he's terrible, and have there be some new threat. I'm sure the comics have something that'll fit.
Christian Bale is probably in his 40s. You could easily do it in ten years time.
Bring Baleman, Oldman as Gordon, and Alfred/Lucius back for one last hurrah. We do this.
One more time.

If he's not in BvS I'm not sure where he'll be besides his own movie. Like you said, his shooting schedule doesn't match up with JL and I don't think he's been in London for WW. He could show up in Aquaman or Flash (maybe he'll do some more future vision stuff that involves Black Adam) but he's never really been linked to the characters. Maybe if Man of Steel 2 were slotted in 2018 he could show up there.
I'd like to think WB will piggyback him somewhere, out of all the films on the slate, I'd say the Shazam IP has the least name recognition. All it would take is him showing up, doing something cool, saying Shazam and he's already made 400 million at the box office.

Booked tickets for 24th, my body is ready
Sucks tho I can't watch the opening show

Shazam is the kid though, right? He transforms into a superhero or something.
I wonder how they fit him in. We got BvS where you got cursing like shit, piss, and bitch, then we're going to get Shazam. A kid. Will he be one of those kids with a potty mouth? I can see the conversations now.

Billy's a good kid. Where he fits into our grimdark little universe is that The Rock might be trying to murder that kid.

yeah I mean the Shazam intellectual property, which Black Adam falls under.
I don't think WB even knows what they want to do, given the lack of talk about it. I could see them making Black Adam the star because he fits the universe better and DC Villains starring in a movie might be a thing after suicide squad comes out.
I like Billy and his origin, it's fairly unique among super heroes. I just see a bunch of issues with WB trying to make it work, both tonally and having two separate actors. On top of that you have to find someone that can be as much of a box office draw as the Rock is.
That's good then. I can't say Beastman is a good role model quite frankly. The man clearly has issues.
I was all for bumping Shazam to get another Batman or Superman movie in, but I feel like that is indeed where The Rock could make his debut. For that, it must survive. There was someone here who mentioned making it a Shazam and Superman movie, and I liked the idea of that. I hope they go that route if it's not going to be The Rock vs. Justice League. It's the next best option.
Then you can do a Justice League where they take on a group of villains like Joker, Luthor, Black Adam, and whoever else might fit in. I'd be cool with that.
Edit:
On a serious note, the idea of a villains movie that stars key villains in the primary roles while the antagonist is some kind of major superhero would actually be really interesting. It could either work really well, or mess with audiences due to the shift in perspective. Suicide Squad still has Will Smith, and they don't have someone like Batman or Superman in the antagonist role.
I definitely think it could work with this new Batman since he's basically a walking horror movie in the suit. Maybe that's what Suicide Squad 2 could be. The villains vs. Batman.
