Looking forward to it more than bat v sups (which I'm in no rush to see at all)Apparently they're reshooting some stuff now to give it more comedy (probably something to do with the success of Deadpool)
It should be easier for DC to do than Marvel. In Marvel you have the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the Defenders, The Howling Commandos, Alpha Flight, the X- Men.... so many different superhero teams that it is impossible to count, while DC has the Justice League, which is like a Superhero Union. The moment you save a kitty from a tree you are required to join the Justice League and if you ever break JL rules you are stripped of your spandex, cape and gimmick and sent out to live among the mere mortals. If you so much as try to do anything heroic after that you are treated as a criminal and you might as well join the bad guy union, the Legion of Doom.Simplicity like that should be very easy to carry over from one movie/show to another. It's not like Marvel, where half the good guys are half bad, and most of the bad guys are in it for themselves but have tragic back stories that make them seem like maybe you want them to successfully rob the jewelry store. Look at the Vulture, one of Spiderman's worst enemies, who was only trying to steal money so he could afford the medication he needed to not die.Then you have the anti-heroes like Deadpool or the Punisher, who routinely torture and kill people in cold blood. Are they good because they only kill bad guys? Are they bad because they kill people without remorse in the first place? The bad guys fight them because they want to live, the good guys fight them because the bad guys need to be brought to justice, not killed, so what label do they get?Plus DC has some of the best villains. The Joker, who has amassed a huge, unending fortune simply to fund his insane genocidal plans, and who cares so little for the wealth that he occasionally burns giant piles of money to lure people close enough to gas them. Lex Luthor, who also has a fortune and is also a genius, but is calculating and ambitious- the opposite of the Joker, but equally dangerous, and yet routinely bested. Luckily though he has great lawyers and doesn't ever seem to be committed or serve jail time like the Joker does.Compare those to a former Nazi either wearing a red skull mask or being disfigured into a red skull, or a fat guy with four extendable arms on his back. I don't know why New York's Finest SWAT team doesn't just end the Doctor Octopus issue with a well placed head shot. DC has so much coolness, and yet they continually crank out movies that are so awful they almost cause physical pain to watch.Def
Show me someone on this forum who isn't a nerd and I'll show you a liar!Something that annoys me in a lot of superhero stories is that the hero is often responsible for the creation of their enemies. If Batman wasn't around, The Joker wouldn't be around. Does Batman cause more problems than he solves? Would Lex Luther bother if he wasn'r pitting his intellect against a god?I love comics. The films........I want to like them but I don't think they fair well most of the time. And they nearly always end up fighting battles against villains they have created.
