Amph Waiting For Superman: Gunnverse DCU/Elseworlds (New Trailer!)

And she's not too old!

*Ba-ra-dump!*

 

Well thank you, Ender, it's been a tough process but enjoyable the whole way.

 

Slowpokeking, Juliet316 wants to know about Wonder Woman.

 

This is pure gold

 

You do realize that once we get the obligatory 67,000 fan videos posted on this thread by him, it's going to severely **** up load times here.

 

So who knows when they will do a solo Batman film again even though they have a new batman but for a Superman movie but who would you like to see them feature as villains and who could play them? I mean they take on Penguin in the Arkham games is interesting being some mob boss who sounds like he is voiced by Vinnie Jones would be an interesting version to see on screen. It would be interesting to see more interesting versions of Mr. Freeze The Riddler and Poison Ivy to make up for Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I would love to see Harley Quinn but that would mean a movie with the Joker in it which it would be interesting to see another villain get the spotlight in a film. Thoughts on villains that you may wanna see in future batman films and who do you think could play them?

 

your idea about more interesting villains sounds interesting. i'm interested.

 

Who knew that Batman being a jerk could be so funny.

 

Don't know if being sarcastic or sarcastically serious. lol

 

tom's really, really literally literal.

 

All I know is I wanna see a new spin on The Penguin and a great version of Mr. Freeze it was def. hard to take Arnold Schwarzenegger seriously in that role especially as some sort of scientist and that bulky costume just horrible really. I don't know who could do the job justice both look wise and acting wise but there is always an actor out there that knows how to do a role its due justice.

 

Mr Freeze would have never worked in the Nolanverse and would be a struggle to bring to the screen now. Whilst his pathos in Heart of Ice was real and compelling, I just can't see it working on the screen.

 

How so could it not work on screen? You just need a good backstory for the character, good actor that can really do that character well plus a great look that looks good and not over the top just think sci-fi when you think of the freeze suit.

 

The only way to do a Mr Freeze in Nolanverse would be to have a dude who does not call himself Mr Freeze but he likes to hit folks with liquid nitrogen.

 

How about a guy who wears blue face paint and throws ice balls at people hard enough to kill them?

 

I'm just gonna get this controversial opinion out of my system: I don't like the "Nolanverse" that much.

There's too much emphasis on grounded realism and a darker tone. It gets tiring, and while it worked for the first movie, it was wearing a bit thin by TDKR. I'm pretty hopeful that Batman vs. Superman will try and be outrageous and action-packed because I don't really want more ruminations on identity, sacrifice, and symbolism. I guess I really just want something a bit more fun, as unquantifiable as that may be.

 

Peng, I object to your post. It hadn't "worn thin" by TDKR. They just abandoned the principle by that time. The whole movie was thoroughly cartoonish and stupid. Part of the reason I think it struggled so much is that it still tried to carry the tone of somewhat grounded movie despite that fact that it couldn't seriously be called that.

 

TDKR's main problem was all of the plot/logic holes surrounding it. I like this movie a lot, but it really felt like the screenwriter fell asleep and had their cat walk on the keyboard in order to write the rest of it.

 

TDKR's "main problem" was that it had at least a half dozen problems of the same size and scope as the one you just mentioned (and the one I touched on before that), without anything to counter-balance it. It was a terrible, unenjoyable film and I don't see how you have ended up liking it at all.

 

Wait, so you're saying that you disagree with it "wearing thin," but then you go on to mention that they'd mostly dropped that tone/aesthetic but tried to hold on to it at the same time? That's got to be the most roundabout way of saying it wore thin. I think we're in agreement on this one, Wocky, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at.

 

You're incorrect Wocky.

See, acting is largely about choice. That is, the choice of an actor to express the character's motives and actions a certain way. In order to show the primal nature of Batman, and the duality between the raw, vengeance obsessed monster that is Batman, and his alter ego Bruce Wayne, Christian Bale adopted a voice for Batman. If people want to believe it wasnt a voice but a vocal modulator, well, I invite them to get AIDS in their brain.

Sometimes, those choices come back to bite you, such as the enjoyable moment in Dark Knight Rises (TDKR = The Dark Knight Returns, goddam you people) when Batman was screaming "WHERE IS IT? WHERE'S THE TRIGGER? YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE GIVEN IT TO AN ORDINARY CITIZEN".

That, I contend, almost justifies the incoherent plot (Bruce Wayne, supposed billionaire, has 100% of all his assets in shares which are sold through an exchange AT THE EXACT MOMENT that exchange is attacked by Bane, but no, they wouldn't unwind those trades. Bruce Wayne is poor now!); the moments in which we're required to suspend disbelief because the screenwriters hoped we would (like how does Batman get back from Turkey and Bane's prison to Gotham? Some git here suggested that he just hopped on a boat like in Batman Begins, except you know, he didn't have a lazy handful of weeks to sail back when the bomb was more than half-way through its cycle) and not because the plot required it; the out of character moments (HE FIRED ALFRED!), or the supreme idiocy of Talia's plot (she could have just:

1) Knifed him during sex
2) Set off a bomb without having to align a ridiculous number of contrivances involving the Wayne board, clean fusion, and Dr Pavel).

I can only conclude people who enjoyed this did so because they had recently been lobotomised and it helped.

 

Guys stop! I'm beginning to have feelings of self-loathing for enjoying this film! Stop!

 

Yeah I'm not actually disagreeing with you. It was a joke.

Although I guess I use "wearing thin" a little differently. I tend to employ it to mean that it was becoming tiresome or devoid of its intended impact. You, by contrast, seem to use it to chart the decline in the degree of realism. So for instance, I would say that Shaylaman's twist endings were certainly "wearing thin" by the time we got to The Village. Even though they were just as much a part of his movies as they had been in Sixth Sense, the effect was gone because we expected it of him. Your definition might apply more when describing Shaylaman's even later movies, which stopped having twists altogether.

 

Good. You should. I'll concede it had the following redeeming features:
