This movie was fucking awesome.It felt like a Superman movie.
Batman, no. But the "Amazingly Infallible Bat-God: Dark Knight Deity of the JLA?" Oh, that motherfucker is going to be all up in this.
I'd be down with that for a Justice League film.
BUT MY DREAM is Nolan Batman and Snyder's Superman in a World's Finest film.
Please God.
I haven't seen the movie, but really, Batman can work in anything, especially if we're talking 90s JLA Morrison Batman.

Batman really doesn't and shouldn't need to be a physical couter-part to Superman to not seem redundant.
But the worlds finest shouldn't be made anyway. Straight into JLA, and straight into a JLA thats been running from before the movie begins.

I wish I was there ( for the 2nd time) watching this with you good sir. Put your seatbelt on, and enjoy the ride!
Batman can work in anything. I'm not arguing that.
My problems with Bat-God are two fold. 1: I don't like how in some stories, in order to make Batman intellect stand out, either everyone else becomes stupider or Batman seems to just know things. 2: In the attempt to overcompensate and make Batman "cooler," he's often emotionally flat and kind of a prick. It's why I'll always prefer Batman in TAS over Batman in "Justice League:" the former had more personality, while the latter seemed to mostly show up to remind people how much smarter he was than them and how he didn't need them (but worked with them anyways, oddly).
Morrison's JLA, thankfully, remembers that the story is supposed to be about the entire team, and in true Morrison fashion, buffs all of them to fucking ridiculous levels. lol

I miss B:TAS. Is it on Netflix?
I guess this is good news? http://www.deadline.com/2013/06/man...elease-record-opening-day-in-the-philippines/
Sadly no. Neither it, Teen Titans, nor S:TAS are on there. Batman Beyond, JL/JLU, and Brave and the Bold are though.

Man, so many mixed reactions on my twitter feed. Some critics I actually really like talking about this movie botching the character motivations/arcs.
Fuck man, why can't they just do a great cinematic story starring Superman
Gonna see this later today, expectations set at completely neutral.

Im not buying any criticism about character arcs being botched.
There's plenty to criticize in regards to pacing and balance of character development/action, etc, but the overall character arcs in this film are fine. There is liberty taken from what people expect, but that is a good thing.

I know what you're saying, I think JLA Batman is characterised in a very different way from the mainline series starring him. For one, its kinda like how in the films the fight scenes are always shown from the villains perspective and Batman is the intruder. Its the nature of who he is - he's the outsider - and you rarely get a glimpse of whats going on inside his head unless you see him talk to Alfred or hang around in the Bat cave which the group shows usually forgo.
I don't mind him being the grumpy, paranoid mistrusting prick, because it makes the moments of vulnerability and comradeship much more earned and meaningful but theres arguments for both sides. If a JLA were to be made, I'd very much want it to be the unbeliever Batman. I know Alex Ross hates that version lol.

I loved the movie. It will rank among my favorites in superhero films, and kinda knocked out any need to go see more in the genre.
I like how it was paced so it will hold up to repeat viewings really well. None of this "waiting for the better third act" shit that most superhero movies suffer from.
EDIT: It was refreshing to have actual character development, not just the childish symbol-interpretation nonsense that Nolan passes as character development.

Beat EviLore at pool.
It was alright. Not even close to any of the Batman flicks.
Friends finally confirmed when they're going. Going tomorrow. Have to see it in 3-D though. We're going to a small theater downtown after they get off work and the only late showing is in 3-D. :/
Only know one person whose seen it and he liked it.
It's going to be tricky in the JLA movie because you have Wonder Woman et. al who are always in the shadow of Batman and Superman fighting to get attention. I hope that the movie can avoid giving those two all of the big feats and let everyone else shine.

I think it's a fine line to walk. Batman should be the outsider and non-social, but sometimes, it feels like the writers are trying to hard. It's like dude, we know Batman is cool. You've got nothing to prove. lol

The question seems to be, "Which Superman? Yours, mine, the other guy's? Seems like everyone has an their own vision of what a Superman movie should be. I really think that the majority of the movie critics are holding tight to their love for the Donner way of portraying the character. This is not my childhood's Superman, and that's ok by me. A new Superman for a new generation.

Fuck off with that Batman shit. I'm getting sick of people deifying Nolan.
Most people keep complaining about why Clark Kent didn't match the Donner version of bumbling and nerdy.
Come on man, no need to get hostile.

So, the budget + marketing of the movie was close to 400 million am i right? So the movie has to make 800 million WW to make some profit? I don't know if that will happen.

Did you have trouble reading my post? I stated I was going to see the movie, later today even. I'm fascinated by the completely polarizing critical reaction to it by writers I enjoy reading.
Its not better than BB and TDK, but Id say its far better than TDKR
