I remember someone mentioning how a Die Hard inspired Batman film set in Arkham Asylum would be the shit.
I agree. It would be.

The Village was better than Suicide Squad.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
There are rumours that Batffleck will be set in Arkham Asylum, so....

I think it is too, but why are you talking about that here? Haha.
Jared Leto sounds like a fucking asshole.

I'd love an Arkham Asylum set Batman but I question if it'll happen for the whole film. Say, with Batman films there is an expectation of a vehicle action scene. Part of me believes that's why BvS forced the superfluous Batmobile scene in there.
Is he playing the Joker, or is he playing a 4th grader?

There will probably be an extra on the blu ray about Leto's on set antics that's longer than his total screen time.
Flawless victory.
Producers are convinced they have to constantly up the spectacle.

This is hilarious but posters are actually taking it legitimately. CAFE is a satirical site, guys.

Leave it to Wonder Woman to have to pick up the slack from these boys.

I'd argue that 66% is a like a C+ rating when it comes to super hero movies. Or like getting a 78% on Metacritic when it comes to video games.
Not great, but not bad at all by any measure.

They'd be better off making a teen titans movie instead of a solo Cyborg movie, shit will bomb

Wonder Woman RT Score = Monster RT% - (BvS RT% + SS RT%)
Grizzlyjin
Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Nah. I can't see any of these films ever dipping into the 10s. They're competently shot films. So even if the script and acting is absolute garbage, you're going to find a percentage of people who find something worthwhile in them.
26%
That actually seems plausible.
In seriousness, I'd imagine 40 something at worse but I think WW will actually be DCEU's saving grace.

I want to believe in WW, but Gal Gadot still hasn't sold me on her acting, so I'm expecting it to be mediocre. I'd gladly take a hit though, WB could use one dearly considering the current state of DC Films.
Eh, kinda but not really. At least, that's not what the climax centered on. It was just a dude protecting his daughter from a vindictive asshole. Even the heist didn't really center on a "we gotta grab the macguffin so the world can be saved and we get/deserve the ticker tape parade after the spectacle ends" angle. It was more low-key than that and personable and I think that's why it resonated with a lot of people. It was more Mission Impossible 1 as opposed to the world-shattering apocalyptic consequences of a MI:2, to make an analogy. Likewise, I think that's also why Civil War succeeded in a lot of people's minds with the bait-and-switch revelation.

>SS's RT score is now tied with BvS
"We did it! Two DC movies in a row that hit the magic number 29%!"
"We did it! Two DC movies in a row that hit the magic number 29%!"
Solely because it takes place too early for them to spend the entire movie going
WE HAVE AN EXTENDED UNIVERSE
HEY GUYS
LOOK
ISNT THIS AWESOME JUST KIDDING DONT HAVE TO ASK THIS IS AWESOME
>SS's RT score is now tied with BvS
"We did it! Two DC movies that hit consecutively the magic number 29%!"
almost there SS is still at 29 bvs is 27
people keep complaining about this but I don't think thats really that bad a part of these movies. the movies are just bad in general
flash to time travel back in time to warn wonder woman confirmed

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I will say 70% of his screen time in the movie can be found in those trailers.
I'm not in love with MOS, but I think they could've taken it into strong directions in the future, and could've really built Superman into the character he supposed to be.
Instead they seemed to double down on all of the weak parts of that movie, and I think that's defining their universe now.

D:
(I thought BvS's score bottomed out around 29% when the dust settled. Guess the Extended Cut dragged the score down a bit more lol.)
Jokes on you, Flash will do some flippy dippy timeshit cameo that sets off the events that led to BVS and Suicide Skwad.

Doesn't WW have some present day stuff though? Knowing DC, we'll get 30 minutes of WW in the present looking at more videos of superheroes.

Luck? Surely you don't think it has been just luck right?
The movies are incredibly flawed in the first place, yeah, but shoehorning CU stuff into the plot and adding in commercials certainly doesn't help. And hell, "Thor goes to a magic pool for an Infinity War commercial in the 8th movie in the MCU" is one thing, but contorting the plot in starter movies around conspicuous brand placement (Wonder Woman as a means to hit metahuman teasers, Suicide Squad as a means to introduce 5 years worth of characters in one movie) is encroaching on insulting, and absolutely adversely affects the overall movies.
god fucking dammit
Edit: x2 more for the other two posts that quoted me

People criticize Marvel's "studio-first" attitude towards making their movies, and rightfully so to a degree, but it seems to prevent them from falling into a situation like this or BvS. Whether it be because of a director who isn't talented enough for the biggest movie (Snyder) or a mix of studio interference and rushed production (Ayer), DC/WB always seem to have a problem. Marvel is so non-dependent on the filmmaker that their movies are almost always at worst "fine" because the studio is driving everything and they make no bones about that. Of course, some would argue that this approach never produces true classics like say TDK, but it's proven to be a pretty infallible formula when it comes to making money and a decent movie with pretty much every hero they have.
