Gawd..do you think they'll have another Wayne parents death scene in the solo flick? They really got to cut that out already..

tbh I wish they weren't doing the dead mom, dad in prison approach again. If I had it my way and no culpability, I'd make a Flash movie that's loosely based around Blitz. So Barry wouldn't have any major tragedy to take him down this path. He'd be a dude who accidentally gained superpowers and decided to be a superhero in part for fun, in part influenced by Superman (or a Jay Garrick Flash comic/show). Story is mostly about Zoom trying to make Barry a better hero by trying to create all this pressure, probably indirectly through aiding the Rogues. So, in a sense it'd be like an optimistic Whiplash. Like, maybe frame it around a Flash exhibit in a museum where Barry's developing a bit of an imposter syndrome.

I think most people do not want the DCEU to fail. It dose not provide any benefit to anyone who enjoys these type of films or cares about any characters from DC.
WB simply has fumbled out of the gate.

Affleck will put half an hour of origin story in it including time in prison where he got raped.

Man I love MoS and BvS. WB did right by me. If the next movies turn out like every other me-too blockbuster, I'm out.
I absolutely have pure love for MoS.
And absolutely pure disappointment in BvS and SS.
Good thing for me is that this movies dotn retroactively ruin MoS in the slightest.

It's not all that necessary. Only matters that he's jacked in BvS for his shirtless workout scene. The batsuit's muscle padding handles the rest.
He's too depressed for PEDs brah
You're right, but him being big as fuck even as Bruce was cool to see, so it'd be a bummer if he couldn't get back to that level, especially when dudes like Huge Jacked Man have only improved their physiques over time
Plus, lower body fat percentage = sharper jaw line.
His facial aesthetics were on point in BvS

So, what will Lego Batman get on RT? It surely must be fresh, right? Right?
High 80s/Low 90s seems about right, unless the the WB Curse continues its destruction in 2017

Wait, I thought you liked BvS.
I thought I liked it but I realize it was my love of Superman that made me blind of the simply bad movie it is IMO anyway.
I said fuck this I aint going to pretend anymore to like it and here I am.
Speaking of Batman lol freaking Clooney thought he destroyed the bat for good lol.

I have this weird feeling that JL will retroactively change everybody's mind about Snyder's trilogy if it goes where we think it's going. Snyder gets the character and Clark is going to have one hell of a comeback scene. Superman fanboys will cream themselves.
Disagree. I do think Snyder gets the character, but Snyder doesn't want to see the same thing fanboys do. And he's going to film what he wants to see. I like that, I'm not sure everyone will.
Nah. I think he's been building up to that moment since the first movie. My guess is that he wants to see it too but of course he's going to do it his own way. We're going to get something akin to Clark destroying the world engine in MoS but with more fanfare.
Also, Clark destroying the world engine is the most heroic thing you've ever seen on film. Fact.

Snyder is doing a relatable/contemporary take on these characters. As if they were created for these movie in the 2010s. You take characters who've been around for 75 years, unless there's time shenanigans like with Cap, they're growing up in different worlds. And he's not doing the best job at it. There are a number of elements from Secret Identity I wish they brought in, despite it not being the actual Superman. But ultimately I appreciate the effort.
The oil rig and the scene in Returns with him going through Metropolis saving everyone and everything > that

yeah, and also the airplane scene too. but i did like in the world engine scene that for a brief few frames his face looked so much like Chris Reeves. I still dunno if it was intentionally thrown in or not but it was awesome.
Pfft, no. Nothing in Returns even comes close to MoS. Returns is trash.

I see this complaint a lot, but how big an issue is it really? We've had like what a total of 10 minutes of screen time over 8 films dealing with it. I mean, yeah we've seen it before, but in BvS especially it didn't harm the movie in any way. In Batman Begins, the film with the most stuff with Bruce and his parents it was necessary, in Batman 89 it was a 30 second scene, and in Batman Forever it was so unremarkable as to be completely gone from my memory.
It's not like the Uncle Ben story that we saw twice in 4 movies along with the entire lead up and fall out. Bruce Wayne's murder can be handled in seconds. It was.

Not an "issue" really. Just seen it already is all. Not a fan of the comic comparisons, but it'd be great if they'd skip the Ben stuff as well. Seen it already. Keep it moving..
NO lies detected.
Returns is an embarrassment.
Supes crashing that mountain >>>> All returns.

To say the least. The director said he was trying to do a sequel to Reeves Superman 2 cause he was a huge fan of them.
Yeah, kind of brought that one on myself.
Superman being a emo stalker sure as hell is weird.
I do like a couple of scenes tho, him flaoting in sky hearing everything was inspired.

Not the biggest fan of Superman Returns but will still stand by that plane save in the beginning and Superman taking the bullet from the gatling gun in the eye. Those were very cool. In fact my issues with that film really are limited to Lois and the stalking. Those two things and how they impact other things are a big problem. I actually like a lot of other parts of the film.
Edit: Oh yeah the ending is dumb. That much kryptonite should have have killed him.

Was a handgun.
Oh right. The guy fires the gatling gun at his chest when he lands. When he runs out of ammo he then uses the hand gun.
Damn. Misremembered. Thanks.
Still a cool scene. Probably the only moment form that movie I actually enjoyed.
It was also a very slow movie, dragged a lot, focused on things that in the end didnt mattered, to name a few things.
It feels like Singer wanted a repeat of the very first movies he wanted a Superman > Superman 2 in where the first was reintroduction and saving people and the next a real villian powerfull enough to take punches.
Thing is he forgot to actually make a interesting movie first that people would like instead we got that and all his plans got tossed in the garbage.
Snyder was smart enough to not do that and went all out on MoS.
