re: Untitled Superman & Batman Film (2015) (D: Snyder; S: Cavill, Affleck)
I actually watched Man of Steel again recently and its pretty good. I neither love it or hate it. Lot of things right about it (Good cast, nice design, good action scenes, nice cinematography) but i do feel it jumped the shark a little by trying to make up for the lack of (and poor) action seen in the last outing in Superman Returns by giving us too much. I know this was a common complaint, but i think this is the first time i have ever watched a movie and felt it dragged because the action was going on for too long. I think that a sequel sans Batman would have been a better direction to take at this stage for DC. Superman has started off on a generally good foot this time and i think it would have been more interesting to see his character develop a little more in another movie before throwing these two characters at each other. Still, i will certainly be lining up to see it when it hits multiplexes.

Not to play even more Marvel vs. DC, but DC (or their corporate masters) definitely felt that the characters were missing something, which is why they did the line-wide reboot, made their characters ostensibly younger (with only a five year history), got rid of Supes and Lois's marriage, gave everyone "cool" v collars and overly complex costumes, etc. Most say it was to make the characters more feature-film/multimedia friendly. Don't get me wrong, I loved the pre new 52 DC Universe and have stopped collecting the new stuff, but that's what happened (and it's also still doing well, as people have said). I also hated Man of Steel (though that might change in the next five minutes or so, seeing as how people are switching), precisely because it didn't mesh with my concept of who Superman is/should be, and that seemed to do well enough that he gets a supporting role in the new Batman movie.

I figured Dragon Tattoo was eight, so Mel Brooks films would be far too sophisticated for him.

And none of Mel Brook's movies count. I just watched the Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra a week ago. I watch old movies, if they're worth watching.
I know the average age group of this forum is like 60+, so some of you think all old movies are worth watching, but good luck trying to find someone in my age group who's watched a fucking Mel Brooks movie in their lifetime.

So this happened:

Arrow is racking up characters. Could they cross over to film?

Nightwing. Pfft! He's always going to be Robin to me. Why, I remember when he debuted in Detective Comics #38.
That's VOLUME 1, you sonsabitches.

I think the Superman and Batman film is the better option over the Justice League film they were talking about for a while but I still think the overall better option would have been to do another Superman film since the new version of the character and his origin was well established with Man of Steel and that way they could have continued on with another of his more "normal" stories. The way it is now I can almost guarantee that he'll wind up as a secondary character to Batman (I love the character of Batman but it may not be the best thing for Superman at this point) because you know the new film will have to re-introduce Batman to an extent at least and with Batman being largely popular I wouldn't be surprised if he got a bit more focus.

The most inaccurate thing i will read on the internet today. Unless of course someone adds a post stating that Dragon Tattoo has valid opinions due to his wide spread knowledge of movies and mature attitude.
And you know they are worth watching because......???? Someone has told you they are worth watching...right. OK. Good luck with that. I think the majority of people on this forum enjoy the experience of discovering the quality of a movie by seeing it for themselves regardless of the opinions of critics or others. Not saying hearing peoples feedback is bad.....just that well rounded people generally allow themselves to make up their own minds and enjoy quality discussion when opinions may vary.
A Mel Brooks sex tape? I would be horrified to have seen such a thing. With regards to his movies, then ok if you are anywhere between the ages of 10 and 80 then yes i know many people in every age bracket.

Alright, I'm back with more Batman Vs. Superman scoopage from my source, General Napier. This time, we'll cover lots of tidbits. So, bear with me. First up, The Flash. Yes, he will be in the film, BUT as others have mentioned he will not be in costume for the movie. The Flash will only be seen as Barry Allen. Same goes for Wonder Woman. She will not be wearing her costume in this film, and will only be known as Diana. As you know, CW is developing a Flash television series that is a spinoff from Arrow. I'm told by my source that WB wants Grant Gustin to make the cameo as Barry Allen, BUT it all depends on how the audience reacts to him when he makes his debut on the small screen later this year. If sentiment is positive Gustin's in, but if it's negative they will find someone else for the Barry Allen/Flash cameo.
Last weekend, Zack Snyder dropped a few Batman Vs. Superman tidbits. The most pertinent, is when he said: "Lex (Luthor) loves calling him an alien." Zack Snyder's Lex Luthor isn't gonna be focusing on real estate, like he has in past Superman films. This time, Lex's motivations will be rooted on his belief that Superman is not good for mankind. The Lex that you will see, will resemble characteristics from Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman. The video below, includes a scene in which Lex explains to Clark Kent why Superman's perfection diminishes his greatness. This is what you can expect from Zack Snyder's Lex.
Alright, so he hates Superman for being a perfect alien, what else can you tell us hot shot? Well, my source describes Lex as "the pride of Metropolis. The people love him, he's been helping out a lot. Even Lois thinks he's a good guy initially. He is a very smart man and has a lot of charisma." Wait, there's more. Lex likes to dabble in "fringe" science. This is the side of him the people of Metropolis do not see. In one particular scene, Lex will ask his LexCorp scientists if they can recreate Kryptonian armor. Lex says to them, "When the world realizes what he truly is, they will need someone to stand up to him." When one of scientists ask if he is that someone, Lex replies, "Is there any other person who can?"
Recently, Terry O'Quinn ("Lost") was reported to be in the mix for Lex Luthor, but I'm told that he was never considered for the part at anytime. I can tell you, that James Purefroy, who is best known for playing a professor-turned-serial-killer in Fox's The Following, was contacted about Lex Luthor, but wanted absolutely nothing to do with it.
Alright, let's move on to other tidbits. We know that Bruce Wayne is getting a love interest in the film, but what you may not know is that WB really wants to cast an African-American actress for the part. I'm told by my source, that Ben Affleck will be reading with several actresses this very week to see if they have chemistry. This will be a committed relationship, not just a one night stand. It's so serious, that she will know Bruce's superhero identity.
