Meet Bruce Wayne Welcome back the Son of Krypton No. Just no. It cannot be! He is not a good choice.  Just when I thought DC/WB were picking up momentum after the Dark Knight Trilogy and the Man of Steel, then they announce this? I'll tell you something right now. This film isn't going to be anywhere near as good as Man of Steel, so it won't be troubling Aveners: Age of Ultron at all.  I don't think the film will suck because of him being cast in it. I'm just going to find it harder to take the film seriously or as a serious contender against the might of the Marvel cinematic universe. But of course, only time will tell. Don't get me wrong, I like Ben Aflleck. I just don't think he is superhero material, much less The Caped Crusader. I mean, we only have to look at history to tell us why he isn't the best choice. Yes, I am talking about Daredevil. That absolutely shocking shambles of a film did his reputation no favors. I remem...

DC's direction (Part 2)

This is a continuation of the last post. I didn't think I would actually have to make another post. But, if I included this in the last post it would have been too long. So, let's get down to brass tacks.  I was just thinking after I heard the Batman/Superman film announcement that it was going to be them teaming up as the World's Finest (As they do in the comics). But, it turns out that it will actually be a versus movie. Meaning that they will be facing each other. I liked the idea, then it dawned on me. If this is the Man of Steel Superman, wouldn't he just instantly win against Batman? Even though there are many cases of Batman going toe to toe with Superman in the comics. By not having Kryptonite in the Man of Steel film, how would Batman stand a chance? Also, Superman practically destroyed buildings with one punch in the Man of Steel film, unless Batman's bones are made of Diamond, Adamantium and Vibranium I'm pretty sure he would be pu...

DC's direction

So, DC/WB has decided not to take the Avengers Initaivate approach and are going to make another Man of Steel film. This time however, Batman will be in the film. I think this is a good idea. DC/WB would be starting this too late to try and do what Marvel is doing. The best bet is to try and take their own approach. The Dark Knight Trilogy was a good place to start. It sets a standard for other DC films that the Man of Steel has continued. Of course, with Christian Bale unlikely to return as the Capded Crusader, DC/WB  will have to find a replacement for him. Also, they are going to have to make all other films leading up to the eventual Justice League within the Man of Steel Universe. This could work. However, I think that all films are now going to have to be as big as the Man of Steel because anything smaller will be considered a waste of time and a failure. Also I think to save time and money, DC/WB should  do more crossover films with other Just...

Superman....for why?

So, Man of Steel has been out for a while now. I still haven't seen it. Even though everyone is giving it rave reviews. I'm not fully convinced. After the shockingly shambolic travesty that was Superman Returns.  I just don't know if I am ready to put myself through the experience of watching another Superman film. However, as a major comic book fan and a lover of film. I feel it's my duty to watch this film. One of the fears I have is that it will disappoint me like the previous Superman film. It did not. Compared to the previous shambles that was Superman Returns. Man of Steel was so good, this is in comparison to all Superman films after Superman 1. Snyder did a great job. However, I prefer The Dark Knight Rises. For all of the reasons I prefer Dark Knight Rises. ALL OF THE REASONS!! That is just my opinion. What's yours?
