One could even say that the only thing of less cultural value and that sucks even more than superhero films would be Sploid videos.

Unlike any Villain SW has had except for your description, which almost perfectly applies to Ep. II and III Anakin??

Getting mad about creators or artists killing characters is anti-art.

Yes, but by law everything Zack Snyder says is offensive and must be thinkpieced.

I’m not sure I’d describe murdering a beloved character off-screen as “fun”

I’m not so sure about “Nike’s shameless cashing in”. They only made a handful of pairs, and all proceeds went to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research. As a beneficiary of those research funds, I’m very appreciative.

I think Memo is the class of the album.

It always makes me laugh to see people talk about how “overstuffed” BvS is going to be because it added Batman, Luthor, Alfred, and Wonder Woman to the Man of Steel cast. How many characters are going to be in Civil War and Avengers 3 again?

Took Ryan Reynolds a few tries to nail a superhero role. I say give Ben Affleck a chance. I mean who’d have thought he was a good director?

You whinny nerds with your hate boners are going to be so sad when this movie does well, no matter if it’s good or not.

<sarcasm>Jman has all the very best opinions and he expresses it all so well and openly. He is also exclusively capable of knowing exactly how bad or good every movie will be based on trailers, tone, and his own—the best—opinions.

I think the movie looks like it will be excellent. I enjoyed the first movie, I am in the silent minority that thinks Ben Affleck is the most fitting Bruce Wayne and Batman EVER. Also, my tongue has never wandered near Snyder’s balls.

Counterpoint: Spiderman’s new costume is butt

Meanwhile, today in the io9 comments section, people opining that Zack Snyder deserves to have the shit beaten out of him for something he ultimately wound up not doing.

Seriously, the design and art direction of the prequels was worlds ahead of the JJ’s new offering.

Are you filling in for Jman4513 and Angrier Geek on Sundays?

I’ll say this- of all the actors that have portrayed Batman- Ben Affleck looks the most like comic book Bruce Wayne... so, he has that going for him.

It’s probably not a gun that, like, shoots bullets. Batman has had lots of projectile weapons through the years that are non-fatal. Plus, he knows Supes is bulletproof, so I’m assuming he’s firing some kind of kryptonite deployment projectile or something.

What about when Bruce Banner winds down from a stressful mission with the help of some quality Beats(tm) headphones? Or when he saves using good ‘ol Gillette? Or Quicksilver gears up with his ever-at-hand Under Armour and Adidas branded battle garb?
