Spoilers Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Grading & Discussion

[Ovation]

I already posted earlier that I loved Batman vs Superman.I'm not referring to Superman I'm referring to F4. The changes to superman are minimal and nowhere near as drastic as what was done to F4.

Apologies. But (having searched it out) your pro-BvS post was nearly two weeks ago and it wasn't clear in the post to which I replied that you were only talking about the Fantastic Four movie.

In the end, though, even without having seen the FF movie, I am not against the principle of a radically different take on the characters. My judgment of the film would rest on whether it succeeds in presenting an enjoyable experience.

Batman vs Superman - Silver Age style. I can imagine that Batman and Robin might not be pleased to learn that Superman and Jimmy are basically cosplaying as them in the Bottle City of Kandor.

Batman vs Superman - Silver Age style.

"Batman's force-ray will lash me harder...." And so a million disturbing slash-fic stories were born.

A pretty cool breakdown of Batman's arc in BvS.

We now have confirmation that Jason Todd was the Robin Batfleck lost.

You know what this means, right? Dick is out there! Somewhere!

 

[Captaindemotion]

Put your Dick away!

 

[Mr Light]

Let's hunt for Dick.

I hope Dick isn't flapping in the wind

Does Dick where a rubber suit?

Does Dick where a rubber suit?

I think so.

Charles Roven's job as a producer for Warner Bros. films has been reduced.

To think that he was at one time one of the people in charge of the Nolan franchise

 

[Ovation]

A news story about BvS that uses a reasonable phrase (mild disappointment) rather than hysterical hyperbole like "abject failure" or some such thing. Will wonders ever cease?

It was the first meeting in movies of DC's trinity. The word "disappointment" shouldn't even have been considered!

Lots of shuffling around because of this movie.

870 million worldwide


WB- FAIL

Hey, they're doing the reshuffling, so obviously they expected more.

Again, as they should have. It's Batman AND Superman!!

 

[Hartzilla2007]

It's Batman AND Superman!!

A new take on a character which means divorced from his last major hits, and a guy whose movies between 1982 and 2011 generally sucked ass?

 

[Skywalker]

870 million worldwide


WB- FAIL

Not good enough when your direct competition's latest movie is over $1 billion and still going.

 

[JD]

I think the general opinion is that anything under $1 BIllion would have been a disappointment, and since it didn't make that much they are now trying to find a way to get up there.
I think they're frustrated because they've been watching Marvel rake in mounds of money, and while BvS didn't totally bomb, it still didn't do Marvel numbers, which is what they want.

It didn't do Avengers numbers, it did better than Marvel average.
