FINALLY!!!! Man of Steel 2, Batman vs Superman. Whatever we called it before. The next film to feature DC's finest heroes has an official name and logo.  Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. After seeing the first image of Affleck as Batman I was pleasantly surprised and intrigued by the choice to base the costume on The Dark Knight Returns design. Especially, after the things I said in  previous posts about him being cast as Batman. You can read those posts here  and here. Perhaps the film will pay homage to the famous battle scene from the graphic novel? Only time will tell. You can read more about the new name and logo  here . Well, now we know the official name. Does this news excite you? Are you looking forward to the movie? Let me know your thoughtds  in the comments section below!

Man of Steel and its problems

He should be locked up for his crimes against me MAN OF STEEL WAS AMAZING!!! It was. But once you start to see it and its faults. It's not so amazing anymore. Not to take away from what Snyder did with Superman in bringing him back from the abyss that Superman Returns left him in. But I think he treated Superman too much like his previous films, that was his mistake. First of all, the film was too long. I don't know why Snyder can't tell a story in under one hundred minutes. It's possible. Snyder doesn't seem to know that though. His last four films have all been over one hundred minutes. In the case of Man of Steel, it was long for no reason.

Another thing that I found really annoying about the Man of Steel was the fact that it was basically a CGI heavy version of Superman 2. It has the same villains, the same fights, the same outcome. There were differe...

Zac Snyder you mug!

BATFLECK!! BEN AFFLECK AS BATMAN!! WHAT?!?! My face when I found out. It seems like Zac Snyder wants to become the new Brett Ratner. He seems to want  to make comic book fans angry. Ben Affleck as Batman? Are you kidding me? No. Just no. When I say that he is becoming Brett Ratner,  I mean he is taking something beloved by the comic book community and ruining it. As much I thought Man of Steel was an improvement on Superman Returns. It could have been better. By adding Batman to the mix, it makes some of the things that were unique about the Man of Steel questionable. Namely, if there is no Kryptonite in this universe, how would Batman stand a chance against Superman? Unless they are going the Dark Knight Returns route ending in the formation of the World's Finest. Even if that is the case, BEN AFFLECK BEING BATMAN IS CRAY CRAY!!! Back to the Brett Ratner comparison. I think this new film is going to be disappointing. Not just because of the Ben Affleck casting but ...
