They are flying puppies.

Bats are pretty fuckin’ cute up close. Like eldritch hell puppies. I’m surprised few people are aware of this.

They both simultaneously and unknown to each other hired Joe Chill to kill the other for the insurance money. Joe thought it was a good “two birds with one stone” scenario and gunned them down at the same time, forgetting that each of the Waynes was going to pay him after the job was done. He felt pretty foolish after…

Thomas and Martha Wayne gun each other down in Crime Alley; Bruce, scarred by watching his parents simultaneously commit murder and be murdered, becomes Batman to prevent anyone else from becoming a parent.

“F*CK BATMAN... and DC’s new streaming service.”

“TLDR: Female, know your place and keep quiet.”

Didn’t take long to find the worst take ever.

Rupert Murdoch is looking well.

The conservation and regulation of the food and drug industry would also be welcome. Hard to believe he was a Republican.

Things like this make me realize how toothless American antitrust laws are.

When I read the headline all I could think of was this gif.

The case with Star Trek is even more problematic, In that it rather was aggravating seeing Kirk essentially fail his way from promotion to promotion up the chain of command. Sort of exactly like the type of thing would expressly NOT inspire greatness from personnel under his command.

When Superman kills in Man of Steel, there is no emotional impact, and we never see Superman take a step back and think things through. He was raised to not really care much about other people, and he’s just killed this monster man he had no reason to have a problem with killing. So, no lesson learned. He’s right back…

While Jonathan and Martha Kent’s motives and ways of teaching young Clark is understandable and maybe even realistic, they are not the right parents to raise a Superman. In the heyday of Superman, it’s established that the primary motivation for Superman being so altruistic is simply due to his love of mankind.…

No, just Snyder. See, that’s literally the only time we see Superman take a life in the original Donner films. Even the awful 3 and 4 got some important parts of Superman right. Clark learns a powerful lesson, and takes it to heart. Of course, Donner was talented, and parts 1 and 2 of his Superman movies effectively…

The problem isn’t that it’s unbelievable that *a* parent might want their child to hide their burgeoning abilities. The problem is that it flies in the face of literally decades of portrayals of the Kents. They’re the “kindly couple” who raise him, instill their morals in him, and inspire him to help others. Snyder’s…

This idea that it was okay because it was motivated by love is ridiculous. You don’t get moral pass on something simply because you love your kid. What makes Superman, is the fact that Jonathan & Martha were also better than most people and passed this along to their son. You don’t get Superman from Jonthan Kent,…

This is why I (mostly) fucking hate origin stories for everything. If you’re gonna do a Star Trek reboot, don’t take three movies to get to the point where Kirk is a capable starship captain. On some fundamental level it’s just not very interesting.

What’s making me less excited is that it looks like there falling back on the “Mousey girl with bad hair/clothes/glasses becomes a sexy fierce cat goddess” trope. Can’t she have been well dressed / confident / arrogant before she got cat powers?

Yeah, if you take 3 or 4 movies to “develop” Superman’s no killing rule, then you’ve fucking failed as a film maker. Of course, if John and Martha weren’t fucking Randian psychopaths, Clark may not have turned out a useless shit head.
