What about the Nolan Batman movies was in any way fun?

It's called Batman Forever.

Plan B studios must have realised that with Trump in the White House, there was on need for the Israeli propaganda of World War Z 2.

The "I mean thugs, maybe" are exactly who I'm talking about.

Iron Man Three is the only one where his character changes in any meaningful way and then they retconned it completely for Avengers 2.

Most of his lines are gags about being out of date, like that attempt at a running joke in Avengers 2 about him reacting to Tony Stark swearing.

Man of Steel: He's conflicted over which father to listen to - the one who wants him to be a hero or the one that wants him to be a man - until Zod appears and he realises he has to do something.

In the movies, it's always him, a millionaire dressed in kevlar, assaulting guys in shell suits that are hanging around the docks or back alleys.

You could say that his whole style is chump.

If they aren't being paid enough to leave and do something else, they're slave labour, and the amount of suicides and strikes that are currently happening at factories all over China (and India, Bangladesh, Vietnam etc.) are a reminder of how bad it is for workers on the losing end of capitalism regardless of

That's the Marvel factory style now.

There's nothing unclear about the characters of the DC movies. The only reason why people claim otherwise is they're trying to map them directly onto the comic books.

If you treat Batman as larger than life, it's fine, but if you treat him seriously, he's a bitter oligarch who spends his time beating up the poor, making him the most repulsive protagonist in fiction and Nolan's attempt to intellectualise it is cringeworthy.

The Dark Knight is manifestly shot like Heat but with all the emotional and philosophical stuff removed and replaced with fascism for kids, but because it has a serious actor taking Batman very seriously and a villain that was focus tested to be Reddit's wet dream, it gets credit as being a thoughtful movie - a fact

Those are all core tenets of free trade. We trade with them because they're willing/have to cut corners.

If only they were like the varied Avengers cast. You have Iron Man, the guy who quips, and Captain America, the guy who quips, and don't forget Black Widow, the girl who quips.

The only Batman movies I enjoy are the Schumacher movies, which treat him like a comic book character, and the Snyder approach of openly admitting he would be a villain were he not a protagonist. Christopher Nolan's Batman is one of the most embarrassing characters I've ever seen.

Don't put quotes around pennies as if that isn't true and also don't act like using them as a slave labour force is doing them a favour either.

There's a reason why hundreds of people are working in a factory 16 hours a day for pennies in order to make those cell phones - that reason is free trade.

If you're a wealthy American, sure.
