    That font kinda makes it look like it's called Birbs of Prey.

    It's not a font, it's that they made the hole in the D look like a bow, with other weapons and symbols similarly illustrated in or between the other letters.

    I'd be up for having Cena in the movie. He would have been a good, more traditional version of Rick Flagg, but I'm sure there are a bunch of interesting roles he could play.

    Honestly, I see him less as Batman and more as

    That looks more like SuperBro than Superman...

    This will be Dastmalchian's fourth role in a DC production (he's been the Joker's henchman "interogated" by Harvey Dent in TDK, Dwight the resurrector of Jerome on Gotham, and Abra Kadabra on The Flash). Add his appearances in the Ant-Man movies to that, he's been sneaking up to Chris Evans and Josh Brolin to the top of the list of actors playing the most characters in different comic book productions.

    Ouch! Forgotten already? You were just down ther
    The script is what made Batman v. Superman so messy. The theatrical edit pares it down to the salient points and fixes the movie about as much as you can without doing massive Justice League-level reshoots on it.

    I vote for "Suicide Squad: (Something punchy that relates to the plot)." That's basically what Marvel has been doing with movies like The Dark World, Age of Ultron, Civil War, Ragnarok, & Infinity War.

    I suspect that's why they added the numbers 2 & 3 onto the DVD spines for the 1st couple Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. They abandoned that after everyone complained about how At World's End was mired in too many subplots. The box art for the 4th movie describes itself as having "all the fun, epic adventure and humor that ignited the original." Translation: "Forget about how bored and confused you felt by the last 2 sequels and enjoy this standalone romp."

    Don't forget Ryan Reynolds. And Jon Favreau is kinda up there if you count his microscopic cameo in Batman Forever.

    I find it hard to believe there was a script. The dialogue jumped so randomly from one topic to another every couple of sentences that it felt more like they chopped up a half-dozen draft scripts and drew pieces of them out of a hat.

    There was nothing random about it. This reads like a review written by someone who hadn't seen the film.

    The theatrical was a little random... Extended made much more sense.

    No kidding.

    ..or has a massive hang-up about the way the lead characters have been portrayed in the comics (in various titles) for more than two decades.

    The script was one of the few from comic movies of the past decade that had a logical cause and effect for why characters had to act as presented. instead of being yet another disjointed, Saturday morning cartoon lightshow of action for the sake of it. Luthor's anti-"God" syndrome was the prime motivator for manipulating the heroes (with his own backdoor scheming with Kryptonian technology / Doomsday), and that--a longtime, fascinating issue/driver for Luthor in comics and animation--if anyone is actually familiar with the source.

    Can we please stop relitigating BvS? The movie's three years old, by now, all points have been made. I'm in the camp of people who liked the movie. There's a whole lot of people who didn't like it. It is only about personal preference by now, and that's okay. Nobody is going to change anybody else's opinion at this point.

    Yeah, but this is the DC Movies thread, not a BvS-specific one. There's other DC movies, both old and new.

    Somebody posted about finally seeing the Extended Cut of BvS, and not liking it, which was fine.

    But responses after that only just dragged up the same arguments we've had on and off for three years now.

    And it goes like it always goes, somebody who we've known to hate the movie is triggered to reiterate how and why they hate the movie, which then triggers the people we've known to come down on the other side to reiterate why that is completely wrong and how and why the movie is actually brilliant.

    At this point, it's not much of a discussion, but just tiresome bickering.
