not going to lie. it's very flawed but i still enjoyed it.

saw it 3 times opening weekend on matinee

i've already pre-ordered the DVD/Blu ray combo as i'll definitely want to watch it again.

the cinematography was beautiful and the scenes with Batman were HIGHLY entertaining!

i'd say at least check it out on one of the 3-d showings with the matinee discounted price.

as flawed as this movie is it's STILL a hell of a LOT better than the garbage DC is dumping out in their current comics!!!!

i wonder at what point will they go Bankrupt and have Disney swoop in and buy out DC?

[NinjaPug]

Disney isn't going to buy DC. At one point they were interested in obtaining WB but they're no longer involved with that. WB is still up for grabs last I saw though.

i wonder if it's make as much money in it's opening weekend to make Justice League Pt. 2?

i am really curious to just how they'll bring Superman back?

Source? I haven't read that anywhere, and though they may have begun filming, that isn't to say Snyder will stay involved.

If revenue continues to decline on BVS, financiers will start screaming to pull the plug.

Remember, breaking even isn't good enough; to even consider going forward they need to make minimum 1.5x investment, though most of the time backers expect 3x.

Perhaps with a sharp drop in evaluation after BVS, they'll reconsider? Would be a nice catalogue to acquire.

So they gained back a little with a surge on Saturday... but not enough. They had 0 new competition this weekend; short little stubby legs on this fatty.

you're right about that sharp drop altering their numbers.

most of the sites that previously stated the largest March movie premier have edited their pages as miscalculated!
and any info i previously saw about a sequel being secure in gone!

as much as i enjoyed the movie and still plan to get the DVD to see Ben Affleck in a Bat-suit shooting thugs and snapping necks, in a way DC deserves this kick in the balls!!!

they've consistently alienated fans by ruining their characters in the comics (DAMN ROTTEN NEW 52 garbage!!!!!) , and now they are pissing off a lot of movie viewers!

well, a sequel could (and probably will get scrapped?) but i still want to see the rest of the train wreck!

after all, there have been hints that Superman would com back as evil!
who doesn't want to see Supes going around and snapping more necks again?
i know i do!

as bad as the movies flaws were it was STILL better than any of the stories from New 52 Superman comics!!!!

it was a just a joke.

i really would want Disney buying DC.

they'd make Batman more sanctimonious and self-righteous than Christopher Nolan ever did.

even though that version of Batman was just as much a killer as Zack Snyder's Batman.

See! And you were giving me a such a hard time!

I agree, if you look at all the on screen Batmen, Affleck is easily going to be the most comic accurate; but like, that's not that hard to achieve, considering how miscast every other Hollywood Batman has been.

Cavill, nice guy; terrible actor. I just don't like him as Supes. Reeve's acting was a bit wooden, but this guy is a block of cement.

But yeah, to fix what Snyder broke:

1. Loose the badly photoshopped look of it all, and get back to reality. No more heavy filters.

2. Up the VFX game. It's not how many tricks you can do in 2hrs; it's how many you can do well.

3. Let the old guard take a crack. Let Morrison pen a script, or maybe involve Neal Adams, Neil Gaiman, Elliot S! Maggin, even Jeff Loeb (errr...Superman For all seasons, not his Marvel madness) - but keep guys like Goyer far away from the material. The current crop of go-to guys for CBM's in Hollywood are all idiots.

4. Skip the introductions - backstories can unfold over time, they don't need to be part of the main plot.

5. No flash backs.

hahahaha!!! ok, i can admit when i'm being a jackass!!!

sorry for being so combative before.

but i wanted to at least give the movie a chance saying anything negative about it.

most people i know were sick to death of me constantly crying or bellyaching about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman.

and ironically ..... HE was one of the few things about the movie i really enjoyed?????? i feel like i'm taking CRAZY pills!!!! O_o

OH! i wish they'd let Grant Morrison pen a script for a JLA movie!!!

but NO!!! last i heard they are (IF they don't pulll the plug) letting Geoff Johns co-write a Solo Batman movie with Ben Affleck directing!!!

i think even Grant is getting sick of DC?

most of the stuff he's done lately is for Image Comics (Nameless) or 18 Days for Graphic India.

sure Keaton racked up more kills, but Bale's Batman's hands certainly were not clean.

Please don't you dare go SJW on our ass*s for one little remark that I'm pretty sure he didn't say with intent to offend.

F*ckin please.

[myconius]

Get real. I'm just laughing pitifully not only this but how you think you know me so well.

You should see the big smile I have on my face right now.

You really do pick the strangest of hills to die on.

BVS is not a person. Legs, is an industry term, look it up. Fatty is in reference to just how much was stuffed into it, like rolling a fatty...

Get over yourself, please.

[DarkLightDragon]

Took a gander at the tags.

#outofcontrol befits this so much right now.

And I love it.

Papenbrook lurking, trying to creep...

I'll probably never stop being amused by the batman/superman tag.
It makes my fic loving heart leap like gazelle.
