Yeah, but it's FOX animated Gambit, not the hardcore comic one.

Thanks for another interesting review that digs deeper than the mere "recap" mentality of so much of the AV Club these days.

I think those of us who thought Ben Affleck was a GOOD idea are now vindicated! He will be great. Unfortunately, there's a bigger problem - the movie looks like it won't be so great.

But ONLY if it doesn't become another "Lex Luthor has tricked the two
baddest guys on the planet into fighting each other so he can……."

That worked GREAT in the comics, in the 80's, when it was NEW and FIRST. Also, can't wait for the "twist" to find out that Lex Luthor…

Are we still talking about Jesus?

'Cause you KNOW the Ant Man movie will stick to what has worked for 50+ years and still have humor. You KNOW Supes/Bats is going to be a super pile of guano.

Yeah, but it's for Ursula, or else the little crab.

Now THAT'S a Zach Snyder movie!

It'll be the ultimate superhero "meet cute." More of a date movie, really.
