I think the fact that we can even discuss this now is a pretty big win for the series. And I agree with it, at least for this episode. I mean, every change they made last night was a big improvement over the books.

I've never seen this show and I'm not planning to watch, but the mention of Julius Carry makes me want to go watch The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.

And the movie has an awesome Jerry Goldsmith score that's so cool, other composers have stolen it for other films.

Capullo's art is some of my favorite Batman art ever, but I'm with you on Snyder and the Joker brings out the worst in him.

I don't like Snyder's Joker either. He seems to want to use him to spout overwritten, pseudo-psychological nonsense about his relationship with Batman. And more importantly, he's not funny.

I don't know, I feel like Snyder kind of salted the earth with the Joker. You can't really go back to the Joker from say, the Laughing Fish or even the Killing Joke any more. He's now a demonic super terrorist. And, frankly, Batman looks stupid for not killing someone who murders on this massive of a scale.

I like Sam Waterston and McCoy, but that role is definitely him ACTING. Moriarty just seems like a real DA to me and he's a big reason why Seasons 1-4 are my favorite. Also, those seasons did a better job of including street and organized crime in with the more sensational "ripped from the headlines" episodes.

Columbo is clearly the most LA cop show of all time.

Isn't that Last Temptation of Christ? Jesus talks him into it. Hell, he busts in on the hallucination at the end and gets Christ back up in the cross. And he's Harvey Keitel.

I love this version of the song.

Glad to hear someone else hates his Joker stories. Snyder keeps saying they're supposed to be funny, but his Joker is just a pretentious monster. I'm with you on liking almost everything else they've done though. I really liked Court of Owls, the Clayface storyline and Year Zero (even the Red Hood stuff). But a…

Damn, I love this movie. I don't have much more to say than that.

I thought the action scenes in First Class, especially the Cuban Missle Crisis, were way better than anything Singer has done in the series, including DofP. Also, every single X-Men movie ends with Magneto turning human anti-mutant technology back on the humans. I'm assuming that won't happen in Apocalypse, but I am…

I may be in the minority, but I really disliked the CGI battles in the original trilogy, too. I think Jackson nails the quieter moments of the books, which are really what makes the novels, but I don't think Tolkien is really about large armies smashing into each other. His books are…gentler?…than that. I even…

I'm going to guess there were fatalities here:

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Posted about this below, but that really bothers me. He had been dead for 22 years!

You run into the same problem with Cornelius that you run into with Nuke, though. He was shot in the head on panel in his last appearance waaaaay back in X-Men #7. Here he's alive again without any explanation!

I was always bothered that the Emperor can fight Yoda to a draw in that one, but Samuel L. Jackson is going to straight up kill him before Anakin saves him. Way to undercut the main villain of the series.

I only know this because I JUST watched it, but Penguin gets pissed and opens fire on the crowd with a machine gun umbrella. So they're justified.
