They should call it Clark Kent. We've never had a movie called that before!

Lois Lane's Boy Friend Superman.

Wendell Pierce, from Jack Ryan is cast as Peery White

The two films called Batman came out 23 years apart, so I’m sure we’ll manage.

Wasn’t there a story that Tim Burton at one stage wanted to also call his second Batman film “Batman” and let audiences work out for themselves that it was a different movie?

There was another movie called Batman? I thought all of the other movies besides the first Burton/Keaton had something else before or after Batman.

The 1943 serial and the 1966 movie were both called Batman.

 

[JD]

Oh I forgot about the Adam West Batman movie. Are serials usually counted as one movie? I tend to think of them as being closer to a TV series.

 

[The Realist]

They're neither. They're a third thing all their own.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Not for nothing, but the first animated short in the Fleischer series also just went as "Superman". It got another title, "The Mad Scientist", later on when compilations became a thing.

Are serials usually counted as one movie?

No, but I was being extra-thorough. It was a theatrically released work, so I thought it might count.

Serials were a theatrical release, the same as any full-length movie, so Superman (1948) or Batman (1943) released in a serialized manner did not remove them from the naming practice used by other theatrical releases. So, in the case of Gunn's Superman, this would be the 4th theatrical release using the name alone.

 

[JD]

Yeah, but I just being a theatrical release doesn't make it a movie, these days there are a lot of TV episodes, operas, ballets, concerts, plays, ect. that are shown in theaters, that doesn't make them all movies.

Sheesh, I'm not saying it was a movie. Like I said, I was just being more thorough than necessary. Have you met me?

 

[JD]

Sorry, I was responding to TG1, not you.

 

[The Realist]

Like I said, I was just being more thorough than necessary. Have you met me?

Lovely bit of self-awareness and humorous self-deprecation. Nicely played, sir.

 

[Tosk]

One would have thought there'd be more respect for pedantry.

 

[Morpheus 02]

Yes, that's why we felt the need to correct you.

So I guess it won't be the Fred Mertz in prison grey version?

Yikes! One would hope not!
