Possibly! Nolan’s involvement is why I was really optimistic for Man of Steel... but as I watch more Nolan films, I realize that Nolan really likes characters who are defined by loss. Superman has loss, and it affects his character, like with any normal person, but it doesn’t define him like it does Batman. I’m…

Exactly. Case in point: the Nolan films. They aren’t fun the way Marvel films are. I can think of maybe one actual joke in all of The Dark Knight. Even the Joker isn’t really doing jokes. They went for a cerebral tone, and largely did pretty well with it, having a dark thoughtful film that still allows the main…

Why is that Batman’s lookout? In spite of being in the Justice League, he’s not really part of the justice system. He not only doesn’t act as judge, jury, and executioner, he doesn’t act as any of those things. He’s basically just a police officer. He does some investigation too, so maybe one with the rank of…

While kyrptonite bullets do pop up occasionally, especially in the Supergirl show, I could understand if the substance was simply too fragile to be a bullet. It actually looked really brittle in Superman Returns. ... Of course, I see no reason why you can’t just put it inside the bullet. ... Unless the bullet is lead,…

Part of the reason for disconnect can be put down to sampling error. If I see Batman v Superman and hate it, am I gonna write a bad review? Probably not. The professionals covered that pretty well. Now, the people who DID like it, they wanna correct for the error, and are more likely to write good reviews. You’ve got…

While there is something to be said about trashing for the sake of trashing, you’re using it to wave away other opinions like they don’t matter. You know what was trashing for the sake of trashing? The Ben Afleck casting hate. It was silly, uncalled for, and ignored all the other times people have hated casting…

No, I’m feeling rather annoyed by you. You have an unpopular opinion and are handling it really, really badly by lashing out at everyone who disagrees with you, and assigning motives to them, as if you’re the only person in the universe capable of independent thought. You are not. People don’t like the film, you do,…

WB isn’t going to let CBS or the CW have any more Justice League heroes. I think they’re still annoyed that everyone likes the TV Flash so much, and don’t want their Flash to have to compete. They won’t risk that with everyone else.

So the best Superfriends Super Light we can get would be a cast of B listers pulled…

Did anyone else take Kara’s come-on to James at the end as a possible hint that they might find some excuse to change the vibration of one world or another and get them to share a universe? *fingers crossed*

Okay, seriously. Enough of this. When you say people hate BvS because of some echo chamber of hate, you sound like the people who say anyone who disagrees with them is a shill for the other side. You like the film. I respect the fact that you genuinely like the film and enjoyed it. I don’t think you’re stupid for…

Ha! Like Star Wars has a canon...

In all honestly, it may as well not. All “canon” really tells you is that you can expect what happens in one story to hold true in another. So, say, in The Simpsons you can expect Frank Grimes to still be dead. It may not come up much, but you can be pretty sure he won’t be back, and…

Kreia is a fantastic female Star Wars character, but I don’t think what makes her manipulative comes from her gender, but rather her alignment. It’s not just that no male Sith could do what she does, no Sith could do it at all. What makes her great as a character is that she’s fully realized. She has her own goals,…

Yeah, that’s why it works when my Superman: The Movie disk is broken. It’s pretty much the same film, only more boring, and with a creepier Superman. ... ... It’s not my first choice, but at least a film that’s mostly a ripoff of the first one isn’t doing much to be actively BAD, it’s just... there.

Nailed it. I think Superman Returns is... to be honest, pretty bad. But it’s not character assassination.

... Except the stalking. It is kind of hard to overlook Superman spying on his ex-girlfriend in her house with x-ray vision. But it kinda pales in comparison to how... wrong the Man of Steel Superman is.

Oh, I completely agree. I’ll still watch Returns on occasion (especially as my Superman: The Movie disk is broken), but... well having a slower pace than Superman Returns is something of an accomplishment.

And Superman Returns was hardly thrill a minute either.

While the shows are still bad about it, I feel like they’re making a conscious effort to move away from the worst of their drama crap. The secret keeping drama is... if not down, not dragged out. No one seemed to be able to hold onto a secret for longer than an episode or two earlier. ... While it’d be better to just…

Speaking of, we need more Nyssa. ... Not for Laurel necessarily, just in general.

With any luck, Felicity can go live on The Flash now. ... I’ve been wanting her to do that since last season, where it was the only place she could get some respect. She’s at least gone back to having things on Arrow that aren’t moping, but... move to Central City, Felicity. It’s better there.

They kind of implied that maybe she was some sort of... reincarnation or something, but not enough to make it clear what’s going on. If she’s just a weapon, why are they pledging to serve her? There was also a Black Sky last season, meaning that there were at least two Black Skies for several years. Surely they can’t…
