So Ben Affleck is going to play Batman

I am a Superman fan and a fan who's wanted to see Cavill in the role since the early 2000's at that and that's what disappointed me even more. I still feel over 30 years later nobody has topped Donner's movie yet. Not that it's impossible and I do expect to see it happen one day but this wasn't the one. Decent movie in it's own right though if you accept it for what it is.

If you can't tell the difference between somebody calling something decent and them claiming that they love something then you probably need to go back to school.
 
I assume most people were fairly young here when 'forever' came out,if you saw it when it was released then it was a cool summer film,im sure as kids there wasn't many who was sitting discussing the logic behind a batmobile driving up the wall.and after the pretty traumatizing 'returns' (fuck you I got a fear of penguins) the lighter tone was appreciated.it was going to happen at some point.

but as an adult,yeah it hasn't aged well.they should have just concentrated on the riddler,personally I've never found two face that interesting a villain.

Im glad im not the only one who sees TDKR for what it is,you go the entire film thinking bane is a boss just like the comics and in the end he's just some lovesick chump for hire.personally I think they should have got rid of the entire full circle approach,carried on the story not far on the from the last one and have bane come in at the start and destroy the bat right away then proceed the story.shit should have been so much better than it was.as great as TDK is,the amount of dickriders that film has created is unprecedented.

Oh yeah?

When TDKR dropped there was massive stanning of that film by posters here in the thread created for it. I was one of the lone voices who didn't get the hype and thought the film was meh and I got attacked for it

I thought the film was average for a highly anticipated film of a trilogy (Hollywood messes up trilogies anyway) and the story/screenplay muddled; maybe it had to do with the editing

And the way Bane the supposed 'badass' villain got murked in the film was a letdown to say the least

Chris Nolan I think is a filmmaker whose brilliance shows in small films (Memento, Insomnia) ..
 
Jesus Christ, you guys. The Dark Knight Trilogy has set the standard for Batman movies and comic book films everywhere.

Batman Begins was legendary in its own right. For the first time you had Batman in the real world. A super hero set in reality and it had a theme other Batman films didn't. Fear. Bruce's fear of bats, Gotham's fear of poverty and a corrupt law enforcement, the fear Batman strikes into criminals, The Scarecrow and his fear gas being used to turn Gotham into chaos and destroy itself. There are so many layers in this film, it's a damn near masterpiece.

The Dark Knight is the Magnum Opus. The greatest comic book film of all time. The God damn standard for super hero films. This film also had a theme. Chaos. The Joker was the personification of chaos. Him not having any kind of origin story really intensified his chaotic nature. The Joker wanted Chaos. The aftermath of Batman showing up in Gotham caused chaos in the underworld. Batman had to battle chaos in order to prevent chaos. The story keeps building upon itself. Batman is pushed father than he has ever been pushed. The funny thing is the movie isn't about Batman or Joker. It's about Harvey Dent. Debt goes from Gotham's white knight to the dark knight who kills 3 people. The film is about Dent's transformation. This film is a fucking masterpiece.

The Dark Knight Rises is the weaker of the trilogy but it faaaaaar from a terrible movie. I do believe it was rushed and had Heath Ledger been alive, the final film in the trilogy might have surpassed The Dark Knight.

These films will not be topped anytime soon.

the ending to Watchman the movie was vastly superior to the ending in the comic. I'm sorry, despite the epicness and greatness that was the [i[Watchman[/i] that giant squid shit killing off half the population of Manhattan was some wacky shit.

Totally disagree.

The problem is that instead of getting an adaption that comes up with an original story that maintains the core elements of characters and story arcs that inspired the movies, what we often get is fucked up off bastardization that leaves John Doe Fanboy with the feeling that the executive producer, screenwriter, and director used the concepts in the comic as a vehicle for the bullshit that he couldn't get green lit on his on. Kevin Smith goes into detail about that very subject on the following clip.[/b]

Here's the thing though the movie was based around the death and return of Superman. It had Superman dying and it had him coming back wearing a suit that recharges his abilities just like in the comics. Everything else is semantics but the basis is still there. What difference will including a giant spider really make? how is that more offensive than Superman fighting a giant ape in the comic books?

I ain't a huge Superman fan at all but a Superman movie where he doesn't fly? Also goin by that Kevin Smith story that producer really knew nothing about the actual story. How you producing a Superman film and you don't know where he's from?

 
I would rather a fresh face, but Bale would not have made sense after TDKR and that version of Batman does not fit in with TMOS.
