While I completely agree with you regarding Snyder’s obsession with superheroes murdering people, it should be noted Tim Burton had Batman kill crooks in his films first.

Yes, this is the one time that producer requests for more action would have been helpful, and perhaps overcome or balance some of the film’s flaws.

I find Bay’s Transformer movies impossible to sit through (the villainous little robot in the first film is the only thing I remember enjoying), although I think Bay is a better film maker in terms of technique. His characters and plots are so dumb I wouldn’t want him to interpret my favorite comic books (Bay,…

Routh was also good on Chuck and has been consistently enjoyable as tv’s Ray Palmer. He’s the best Superman, after Chris Reeve and the animated version created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini.

I’ve always contended that revealing Batman or Superman’s identity is of limited value. Almost everyone close to them also has an overt relationship with their costumed identity. Most also willingly put themselves in danger on a regular basis. There’s not that much to actually protect. Batman and Superman would be…

I get so sad every time I see Brandon Routh being superb as the Atom. I miss his version of Superman whenever I sit through Henry Cavill’s resting-bitch-face interpretation of the character.

Captain Britain could be a hilarious adventure series. Captain Britain’s origins — especially the stories written by Alan Moore — are self contained and don’t rely on the X-men mythos at all. If Rip Hunter can have a tv series, I don’t see why a show built around a flawed British superhero who serves an order that…

George Miller, the person who should have been in charge in the first place.

Margot is 5' 6" and while definitely attractive, does not come across as willowy. She is also good at exaggerating her slightly oversized facial features for comedic effect. I like her as an actor so I’m inclined to give her a chance. Allison Williams would be the perfect Nancy Kerrigan.

Grant Gustin did want to be the cinematic Flash, just like Stephen Amell wanted to the movie Green Arrow. Bigger audience, more money is why.

I think Marvel is underestimating the potential of One Shots. In addition to adding more backstory and extension to the established Cinematic Universe, One Shots are an opportunity to explore Marvel characters that haven’t been included thus far as well as experiment with different genre and tones than the standard…

Mutt can have an accident, preferably involving a rolling boulder, and his “tragic” death could motivate Indy to find his other child, the daughter he never talks about.

I always thought Short Round should have shown up in the sequels as an adult friend and occasional competitor to his former mentor. Indy’s biological child should have been a girl, imo, because no other man could replace Ford under the fedora and it would be better to go in a fresh direction. Plus, given Indy’s woeful…

I think Bryan Cranston would make a great Jameson, although I’d be happy to see Simmons reprise the role.

I think its perfectly valid to support HRC and doubt Sanders, but its also valid to note HRC isn’t going to fix racism either. Additionally it’s worth noting the rampant corruption at the Dept. of Education and the unwillingness of government to aid individuals affected by the mortgage crisis ( while bailing out the…

We Already Know Exactly How Star Wars Episode VIII Will Begin

I really wish Fuller was doing Star Trek: Star Fleet Academy. Its an under explored yet fundamental element of the Star Trek mythos and avoids direct comparison with the current movie franchise or past TV series. It presents a different, unique from which to view the Star Trek universe and world build, as the Academy…

Whoever chose the image Raimi looking like a mashup of Hitler and Big Brother from 1984: Kudos.

Liev Schrieber, Danny Huston and Ryan Reynolds were all pretty good in an otherwise shitty to forgettable movie (honorable mention to Kevin Durand as The Blob). X-Men Origins should have been a Weapon X or X Force movie — essentially the Dirty Dozen with mutants. The superpower mercenaries element was only part of…

Bosworth and the movie script were the only problems with that film. Seriously, Routh was great and Bosworth was the only weak link in the cast. But the plot was overly reverential to the Reeve movies and made Superman a bit creepy.
