CBM: After reading the multiple posts and articles all over the interwebs stating that "DC Won Comic-Con" and "Batman V Superman just beat Avengers" in response to the footage shown at Comic-Con that had also since leaked to the internet, I felt that I should openly express my level of concern that Warner Brothers is once again setting us all up for disappointment.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Wait so his argument as to why it will suck is because he ASSUMES it's a copy & paste of TDKReturns (his only proof being Batman's "Iron Bat" suit?) and doesn't see how that'll lead to a JL movie? <_> mkay. Counter argument time. I'll try & be brief.
Rewatch MoS, Superman in MoS wasn't a lackey of the government. Judging by the Iron bat & the Dark knight returns quote from SDCC'13 it's completely safe to assume that they'll only use the TDKReturns as a point of refrence to help mold this new Batman. Also WW is in this, wasn't in TDKReturns. Obvious at this point. Problem solved.
Also, "Unfortunately Green Lantern, Dark Knight Rises, & Man of Steel all managed to fail to meet expectations of many". Now i'm gonna counter that.
GL is for all intents and purposes a flop. Agreed. But TDKR is voted pretty damn high on Metacritic, RT, & IMDB. Higher than most other DC & Marvel movies. Plus it crossed the billion mark. Not sure how that qualifies as disappointment from either fans or the studio. And Man of Steel made $668,045,518 worldwide with $100,400,380 accumulating in dvd & Blu-ray sales. That's $768,445,898! After an accumulate total of 3 Superman flops from both Donner & Singer that's not bad. Sure MoS got unfavourable reviews (mostly from critics who thought Superman Returns IS the definitive version of Superman...). It has favorable reviews from fans with a %76 rating on RT and a 7.3 out of 10 on Imdb. Long story short it tripled it's budget and got good (not great) fan reception.
we all have the right to worried about the film, Marvel or DC fans
reading the comments on that blog or whatever you like to call it was funny.
Marvel Fanboy isnt scared or hoping BvS Dawn of justice will not come out...it has to come out,but if it does suck and doesnt meet most of people hyped most of marvel fans will say i told you so
I'm more afraid about what the movie will bring as a precedent than anything else. Fail or succeed, we're stuck with Snyder as the man with his hand in the cookie jar
. I don't trust him to handle Justice League, or any spin-offs; Marvel's doing well by organizing its own team of writers and directors to shoulder more diversity.
For DC? Just Snyder, and it'll exhaust him eventually one way or another, and it won't be pretty; even worse if Batman V. Superman kills his career now.
I agree with the author in regards to the plot of Batman and Superman beating the crap out of each other on their first outing. It feels like something which should be left to the climax of the film's series.
Logistically, it doesnt make sense for them to fight each other to the death, and then be chummy chums in the JL films and beyond.
The author is right about how stupid it would have been if Marvel started with Civil War, then went with Avengers. The relationship just wouldnt be believable and feel utterly contrived.
What I am hoping is that Superman is not himself, and that he is being manipulated by Lex somehow. That would be more believable (yet derivative as we've seen it countless times), and it would be as though Batman was trying to fight Superman to help him snap out, Superman would snap out and apologise, and then Batman and Superman would agree to have each others backs.
You dont start the worlds finest with a grudge match.
All of these movies are profusely overrated. Battery hens.
