Batman-Superman Movie
polycounter lvl 18
So I was excited about this, but now I think it'll take a miracle.
Because Ben Affleck is Batman.
He's a good actor, but he's got a nice face. It's like Clooney, he can act sinister, but you still want to pinch his cheeks.

You're kidding right? The guy needs acting lessons like Charlie Sheen needs rehab.
Apparently when asked to do the movie, he replied "Argo on then."
HAH!
Affleck has the comic book look of Bruce, so that's a plus i suppose...
outside of that, the movie has bigger issues. having batman exist in the same universe as this version of superman? fine, no problem.
having batman being able to contend in any meaningful way with superman or anyone even close to his power levels... yeah, no.
i mean, how do you think batman would have coped if Zod and co. had arrived, but Kal-El handn't?
batman = smart
superman = insurance companies nightmare
Kryptonites effects generally don't instantly reduce supermans power anymore either, it's more of a gradual thing. if he were moving at light speed (which he can in ALL universes), he could just move THROUGH whoever has the kryptonite before he even felt its effects.
this is what would happen if superman and batman were to ever have a scuffle:
He should just go back in time and kick Lex Luthor's dad in the nads - problem solved.
Would Bale play another Batman? In the last movie he looked like he was having trouble breathing in the suit.
BUT
Frank Miller is so in love with batman that he could never lose to anyone as long as he was writing the fight.
that's one side of the problem, writers bias will almost always dictate that batman will beat superman because it's the "more interesting" outcome. but lets be serious here for a second, batman vs superman...
batman. a genius with lots of money and some gadgets.
superman. a literal god.
there can really only be one outcome to that encounter.
GO KRYPTONITE DILDO
It'll be interesting to see how they approach this...I like both characters but I feel like they are not going to cover any new ground that will be exciting to watch in a movie...I predict some kind of Kryptonite powered powersuit, and then a partnership born out of a common threat- where superman does all the work.
The thing that confuses me is, I thought this was suppose to be 'old' batman, which I already thought was confusing, because I thought they both existed at reasonably the same age. Then again, most of the stuff now, is just rumors, until confirmed by the studio
Zack snyder makes bad movies.
(quickly jumps out window)
I`m going to trust Zach till he lets me down.
That said I do agree with your point, I think this geek rage is ridiculous, I think this could turn out well.
Neither does Batman. Remember, he successfully masquerades as a privileged billionaire playboy throughout the day.
Say what? He's yet to do a good film. I enjoyed Watchmen, but it wasn't exactly stellar. His only film to be reviewed positively is the Dawn of the Dead remake, everything else was a critical failure.
Heck, the guy was responsible for Sucker Punch, which I personally hold to be one of the worst directed films I've ever seen.
I liked Sucker Punch. Not much for a plot but there are some pretty cool scenes.
You forgot Man of Steel, which was not only a great Superman film, but made bank. He's golden in Hollywood's eyes at this point.
Man of Steel wasn't great either IMHO, (and was also panned by critics, funnily enough).
You know what. I would be totally ok with this. All of the crime movies he's directed have been amazing.
This.
That's a great way of putting it. I don't think its a bad thing.
And especially this ^
i do... i think his films would be ALOT better if he spent a bit more time on script, plot structure, and core ideas. otherwise his films will always be fluff. he often generates a really nice visual feel to his films that is then ruined by a crap plot, or whimsical script.
Totally this.
I'm heeeaah to take a wiked pissah!
I' m tha dahk knight!
Rawwbin! Its tha jokaahh tha scahhcrow and tha riddlah!!
Call cammissionahh gawwdun!
Well, he can certainly cook up some kryptonite.
I legitimately would rather see Affleck direct this.
Here's what you count on with Snyder on average
State of the art Beautiful FX
Style
However what you generally can't count on is
Substance
Story
Pacing
Punch
That's just not him. Not his style. His movies are more background noise while you work rather than an engaging experience. Like watching TNG while you create art.
Excepting that truth kinda helps me enjoy his films more.
2nd on Javier Bardem but only if it's a movie adaptation of Batman Year 100
oh shit, DAT MOVIE. i LOVE the prestige. it's one of the few films i could happily watch more than once a year.
