Geoff Johns got out there way before Snyder was put in charge of Superman movies. Those two guys are made for each other. They even look and act similar, and between them are responsible for the under-performance of Time Warner's entire superhero line.

Influential? Sure. Great? Maybe not. They're not the same thing, necessarily.

Comparing Alan Moore and Frank Miller on politics is like comparing Emma Goldman and a rat with rabies on politics.

To understand Frank Miller, and how his views have definitely not changed since 9/11 or even since Dark Knight Returns, you just have to expand your mind a little past the idea that criticizing Reagan = some kind of liberalism.

No, Frank Miller was never a left-winger of any sort or even close. His contempt for Reagan was, and the comic doesn't leave any doubt on this, based in a contempt for the government coddling people and daring to exist, counterbalanced with Miller's sadistic fetish for burly "good" men beating the shit out of born

It hits the exact same note of "this story sure aged poorly" as the comic book, which is at least interestingly unusual to see in contemporary-style animation.

I got the gist of it just fine: you would have to put some serious work in to make a "bad" version of that story, i.e., one worse than the original story.

Any version of DKR on the big screen would most likely be awful in many of the same ways as Snyder's films.

She's a divider, not a uniter.

Yeah, both of those movies are probably way worse than the score would suggest.

Which was, let's be honest, terrible, if not necessarily in the same ways as the movie.

People on Reddit are stupid and crappy in a whole rainbow of ways.

Cute. I like the guy who says that they should all cheer up because all the other movies that came out this weekend are so abysmal, people will go to see this one anyway. This benefits them because they all own huge amounts of stock in the company(??)

Q: Why do things in movies have to be like things in comic books going back decades?

People who give Iron Man 3 crap for that are the sort of people who knew who "The Mandarin" was before they saw the movie, i.e., one of a tiny and insignificant sliver of the people who actually paid for tickets to the movie, who wanted to see a highly questionable Yellow Peril stereotype to satisfy strange urges of

Does everyone here seriously not realize that the voice that was heavily criticized by critics based on previews was not the dubbed voice track they heard in the movies?

Critics only disliked the mush-mouthed voice in the previews, which you, like the rest of us plebes, never even heard, because by the time we saw the movie it had been dubbed over with a jarringly off-mix re-sampling of Hardy's lines.

The silicon microchip.

At what point did you see Bryan Singer's next X-Men movie, which has a release date of May 27?

I'm a bigger fan of the reboot/sequel/homage that is "Superman Returns" than most, but there's a lot of that in there, like how Singer plays an otherwise Snyder-esque moment when Superman walks through a belt's worth of flying lead from a minigun, and the guy behind it steps out in frustration, aims a pistol right
