Ryan Reynolds to play... uhm... every comic hero?
- Thread starter clz
- Start date
Yes, no, who cares, no.
My opinion is that this thread should be in SFF or TV&M.
Agreed. And he isn't playing the one character he should: The Flash.
They don't need to stop, but they do need to be better. X-Men was decent, the first Spider-Man was good, Batman Begins sucked (except for the beginning, which would have made a good beginning for a Shadow movie). None are awesome, some are pretty stupid, most are somewhat untrue to the stories (except for the first Spider-Man, which handled his origin very well).
Anyway, this Thread would be more at home in General Media, so I'm sending it that way. Everybody stand back while I do the Mighty Mod Hand Jive. Wheee-ooooo.
We clearly did not watch the same film.
No, it did suck.
Bruce Wayne was supposed to have spent 20 years walking the earth learning a million little things he needed to become Batman, but instead the man who murdered his father tried to adopt him to the service of evil which just fortunately gives him all the skills he needed to avenge his parents and save the city, meanwhile all his wonderful toys was just unfinished wetware tools the CIA couldn't afford to finished paying for... And then there's some girl we never heard of before, who may or may not be Catwoman, actually has to tell him he has to be ashamed of using a gun to shoot a proven innocent citizen just because he thinks the spud murdered his parents?
Oh, and Sandman killed Uncle Ben but he's sorry about it?
Comic book movies suck mostly because they are primarily made for children.

Batman is not David Carradine, dammit!
Liam Neeson didn't pull the trigger on the Waynes in the alley.
That'll teach 'em!
All the more reason to use 'em, since they would just be collectin' dust otherwise. Plus, he did add his own flair to 'em - the earpiece, the cowl, and the batarangs.
Chill wasn't innocent - he was guilty, confessed to killin' the Waynes in open court. He was just gettin' a lighter sentence because of a deal made with the district attorney.
Are ya sure ya actually watched the movie?
Apparently movies based on comic books are not allowed to create new characters?
Don't forget that Batman Begins also didn't have still drawings and bubbles with words in them to convey thought or speech.
I'm pretty sure Ra's Al Ghul said in the end during his monolouging that he sent Joe Chill to murder Thomas Wayne because he was getting in the way of his plans to destroy the city, which just makes Joe a different kind of guitly more so than totally innocent... But yes it has been some years.
in the comics both Superman and Batman are geniuses who invent and build most of their tools (Silverage Superman moreso.). They're selfmade. amd it took them years to become so. Wayne just discovering all this stuff at the last minute was deus ex machina and a little like an army going off to fight a war with no weapons or provisions assuming it'll all just appear on the field of battle... Oh that's right. Sorry.

Ryan Reynolds is brilliant. i can't wait for the Deadpool flick.
especially if they have to balls to have Wade watching the Wolverine flick in a cinema and say 'that's not how it happened! Hollywood bull!' and throw popcorn at the screen.

And that's why I attest that the definitive Spider-Man was Spidey on the Electric Company because he DID speak with speech bubbles.
I walked out of the Keaton/Burton batman flick rocking to the beat of my speeding heart, muttering over and over again "I'm batman, I'm Batman, I'm Batman..." well into the following month.
It's really easy to impress me.
In most ways, about nearly everything, I am a whore and a slut.
No, Ra's Al Ghul admitted that they tried to use economics to destroy Gotham City, which Thomas Wayne fought against, which is why the elevated train was built by Wayne Industries.
There wasn't anything about Chill bein' sent to assassinate the Waynes - it was a muggin' gone wrong because sometimes, shit happens.

And where did you get the idea that the Katie Holmes character was supposed to be Catwoman? There was NOTHING in the movie to suggest that.
There are other woman in Bruce Wayne's life . . . . .
Nolan had a good idea for a female character and Katie was brilliant casting, but she married badly. Instead of creating a new female lead, which would have been the easier thing to do, Nolan insisted (Too strong? It's not like he says "no" to himself.) on keeping Rachel played by the equally lovely Maggie Gyllenhaal making sure to sign the gal into a two picture deal. Maggs is locked. It would take an army of lawyers or a trip to Betty Ford with a need stuck in her eyeball to dodge the next batflick.
So then, if Miss Gyllenhaal is inescapably signed on for the third movie... Why did Nolan kill her in the second?
How many female characters in Batman's roster of associates have an origin that begin with their "death"?
Which brings us to Catwoman.
Not my idea, read it here somewhere last year, but I like it.
Plant a seed and watch it grow.
Case in point... BILLY D WILLIAMS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TWOFACE.
