Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

[PsychoGoatee]

I also love Dark Knight Returns, a classic. Batman's voice has seldom been written stronger.

Not sure I like the possibility of this film getting a Rated R cut.

I actually like this idea. Not for this movie, of course, fuck this shit. But I wish they had done this for Star Wars The Force Awakens, and Deadpool.

[Pak-Man]

It would be cool to be able to see Force Awakens on a whim. Of course, during those viewings you'd want some refreshments and then the REAL goal behind the tickets becomes clear...

[The Lurker]

I can't even justify that idea for movies I like.

[ScottotD]

That sounds great

I like to think their Fathers' ghosts are standing there watching all of this, just shaking their heads. "Man, our kids are tools."

Most intriguingly, it makes both heroes seem elemental and borderline frightening; there are moments in Batman V Superman's first half that wouldn't look out of place in a horror movie. Here, Batman and Superman aren't characters to be afraid for, but to be afraid of.

Pretty much confirms my concerns with Snyder getting BOTH of the characters wrong. It's one thing when characters that you already know and like go dark because of a situation, but it's quite another for it to be WHEN THEY ARE NEW TO US! The point of having Superman and Batman go up against each other is supposed to be that we like both of them and don't know who's side to take. Why the hell should we like either of these dangerous assholes?

[ScottotD]

Yeah, Batman isn't supposed to be dangerous or scary.  That's not the whole concept of the character at all

[ScottotD]

OF COURSE! A CANARY WITH A MACHINE GUN!

Just read that Den of Geek review, and it makes me wonder:

Of all the superhero movies that have come out in the past few years (with the possible exception of Ant-Man and Iron Man 3, which I haven't seen yet)...why is there some kind of idea to make us fear and loathe superheroes lately?  Everything seems to be about how none of the people granted superpowers have any business using them and should be shunned and thrown into a cell somewhere, or regulated by the government into oblivion.  The only one that was happy and not ashamed of it was Guardians of the Galaxy, and that was about young Han Solo teaming up with a tree, a raccoon, and two green people to save the world because no one else can.  Even if Marvel seems happy and joyful on the surface, most of the time the movies get downright depressing.  It's almost like we shouldn't be rooting for them anymore because they're all brooding jerks without an ounce of joy in their souls.

In short, where's Frank Gorshin in a bowler when you need him?

[ScottotD]

If it's loosely based on Dark Knight Returns then the whole idea is Superman is too powerful, or Batman thinks he is.  I find the idea he maybe agrees he should be kept in check somewhat refreshing to be honest, although it's conceptually similar to Civil War
