Yeah, there's no stopping people recording the trailer. Just release it online and stop being retarded.

I'd argue TDKR was before Miller went insane.

I disagree. Still, that doesn't make the book any good.

Quote
Regarding Superman, in the comic he's only beaten because of a number of circumstances worked in Batman's favor. Of course fanboys are going to ignore context.

"beaten"

He wasn't, but I'm glad you realise it's bullshit regardless.

Personally I enjoy TDKR. It works well as an alternate universe one-off story.

I know a lot of people like it, but I just thought the whole book was... meh. Just poor portrayals of a lot of characters... Batman kills and uses guns (despite being hoplophobic, though I can forgive that somewhat, as Silver Age had just ended IIRC). Two-Face, Joker, the Mutant leader. They all sucked as villains.

The other thing is, is that it completely inverted the two characters. Batman has always been the authoritarian, putting law and order first. This is the reason Batman's arch nemesis, the Joker, is an agent of Chaos, because that is Batman's opposite. Superman would always put altruism above the law, and basically every portrayal besides the DKR one shows this, whether it is him forcibly disarming the world's governments or telling the UN off in the New 52. This is why his arch nemesis is Lex Luthor, who is an agent of Order and is part of "the establishment".

If it helps, I'll use D&D terms:

Batman is 'Lawful Good' (I'd argue 'Lawful Neutral' in the Miller/Dark Age versions) and the Joker is Chaotic Evil.

Superman is 'Chaotic Good' and Lex Luthor is 'Lawful Evil'.

I know what you mean... I feel as though we're scraping the bottom of the barrel, here.

At this point I feel like shitposting > quality posting

Well, I have absolutely no use for shitposting. Even for humour's sake.

The only quality threads are in Serious, but they're so few and far between the thousands of economic/political discussions (which wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't certifiably illiterate on those subjects). But maybe that's just my specific tastes, I know not everyone shares my serious nature regarding the forums...

The faggy way in which he said that line completely eviscerated any shred of hope I had for Eisenberg as Luthor.
I would agree, but I think the scene where he "baptises" Superman balances things out. He just looks diabolical.

It's not cause to say that he'll be good, just that it's too early to abandon hope.

Why do you hate TDKR so much?

It's a disservice to Superman (and Batman, but more Superman than anything else) and is the primary justification for simpletons to think that Batman could hold his own against Superman - when in reality, there are maybe 3 contrived scenarios where he would hold his own (not win - hold his own).

Frank Miller is also a sexist, racist pig and to be quite frank (no pun intended), he can't write for shit.

We should live stream these sort of things. I think it would be really cool if we set aside a few hours on a specific date and had an actual tournament.

Not sure how it would work, but it'd be cool to watch live matches where you can hear the banter between contestants. I don't know, just thinking out loud here.

Harley seems inspired by the Arkham series, which is probably why I like it a little.
I don't even see how. She just looks cosmetically unappealing to me. The whole art style of the movie seems off.
I like the direction that they're going with the visuals. Very punkish and up with the times.

and bruh, dem Adidas doe.

I can't stand it. The tattoos, especially.

And don't even get me started on Joker's teeth.

Nah, Goyer is writing.

He's a secondary writer to Chris Terrio. Snyder picked Terrio's screenplay over Goyer's (which would have been less "The Dark Knight Returns" and more "Man of Steel 2" if Goyer had won out. Oh well.)

Quote
Also judging from the trailer, and the rumors, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman might be fighting Doomsday if the last 20 minutes are pure action...to which I say "WHAT A WASTE."
Agreed. He would have been an interesting arc to cover after Justice League. But for the final battle, if I had to choose between

1. Batman fighting Superman, inspired by The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman beats the living fuck out of Superman (which we all know would disservice both characters, especially Superman considering it's his sequel)
or
2. Underdeveloped/rushed Doomsday uniting the Holy Trinity

it's an easy choice.

I must be the only one who is not looking forward to this movie now.

I'm not.  I mean, unless they do like a two-minute "quick origin story" for all the characters involved, this movie might be a long sit-through like Batman vs Superman.
I don't know about that... BvS has the potential to be good. I'm fairly sure that Goyer isn't writing it, so it may be more action-packed than MoS.
Plus, the last 20 minutes or so are rumoured to be pure action.

Harley looks nice, I still don't buy Joker, and Killer Croc hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Harley and Joker look so out of place, in my opinion. I don't but either of them (or Lex/Diana, for that matter).

I love will smith but he is not the right person for deadshot

Really? He's the only person cast that doesn't look out of place, IMO.

Joker and HQ really look like they're part of the world they're in.

I can't really comment on the ret because I don't know DC comic stuff like I do marvel.

Joker and Harley look the most out of place.

I still don't buy his performance. I expect Luthor to be bald, jacked and gravelly-voiced. He doesn't meet any of those requirements.



dont worry he eventually goes bald somewhere in production.

I'm aware. I'm just saying - as of now, I don't believe him to be the smartest man on earth in any sense of the word.

My problem is the story. It just seems like bad fan-fiction. You know when 'Halo Follower' makes accurate predictions about the story, something is off.

This implies Halo 3/ Reach had good stories. Anything made from here on out is never going to be worse than those.

It absolutely does not imply that.

Not to mention, Halo 3 contains the greatest piece of Halo fiction ever published.


I genuinely laughed out loud here. Halo 3 doesn't even make sense of you actually pay attention to it

I'm not talking about the story. Halo 3's story is shit.

Well what else about the 'fiction' is there in Halo 3? The terminals? I'm trying to understand what makes halo 3 the best fiction.

I said Halo 3 contains the best piece of Halo fiction ever produced. So, yes, I was talking about the terminals.

I don't think he has to be extremely muscular. In shape? Sure, but not jacked.

But yeah I'm not optimistic regarding Eisenberg.

No, you're right. It would just make sense for him to be in really good shape. It's absolutely not a requirement. Rosenbaum/Cranston aren't in the greatest shape, either.
