He smiled at a minimum of six times in BvS alone. I counted.

I didn't. Not even once.

I'm curious. Why does it matter if he smiles or not?
keep in mind I didn't visit the previous pages.

It doesn't matter. Batman doesn't smile and we like him just fine too.

Because he's Superman. It would be a quality which one could consider in-character for him. Not than anyone at Warner Bros. has bothered to give the source material a look.

Yeah, dark and dour is Batman's schtick. Why does this universe have him stepping on Batman's cape?

Superman isn't Batman and shouldn't be Batman. Turning him into Batman takes away everything that's special about him.

The reason that a good Batman/Superman team-up is so fun is because they're such different characters. They contrast and compliment each other. If, like in BvS, they're both made into the same shade of moody/super-serious grimdark, then the whole combination (and conflict) is just... boring. It completely deflates both characters.

It's times like these I wish we had a Like button.

This reminds me of that Justice League webcomic with kids as DC characters. JL8 I think it's called.

Toss Adams, hire Janet Montgomery
.

Lois should be sexy, but powerful.

HUGE bonus points if they give her violet "Betty Davis eyes"

But not the song. I don't want the song.

Lol, yeah, we broke it off. Sad day in 42's world. I had to say "see ya later".

JJ Abrams producing new Superman movie:

https://deadline.com/2021/02/superma...ng-1234701922/

Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing and Hannah Minghella is also a producer (an African American man and white woman, respectively).

Ta-Nehisi is the national correspondent for The Atlantic, and as such, "Coates covered cultural, social and political issues, specifically that of African Americans and white supremacy. His 2014 cover story for that publication, “The Case for Reparations,” started a national conversation on the subject. It was named the “Top Work of Journalism of the Decade” by New York University’s Carter School of Journalism Institute."

So basically this sounds like it could very well be Superman: SJW Bugaloo (or "Revenge for the 'Insurrection' at the Capitol and George Floyd"). Possibly starring a black Superman. Jeeze. I'm not even sure I'd want to see Cavill in such a thing. In fact, I know I wouldn't. I just want to see a good Brainiac movie, or something with Warworld... not "systemic racism" (and while Warworld and systemic racism are both imaginary, at least one of them is actually entertaining). Why is this so much to ask? If Cavill is in it it would probably just be about his giving up his "white privilege" on a sacrificial altar.

I am greatly relieved that after Snyder's Justice League comes out, I never have to watch a comic book ever movie again.

A little disappointed. But way more relieved.

Don't lie. If nothing else, you'll be sneaking reels into one of these babies, and filling in the blanks on your own.

Ta-Nehisi Coates also writes Captain America for Marvel and frankly it hasn't turned Steve Rogers black or had his role usurped by an African American or had an anything to do with racial or 'SJW' issues. Simply having him as a writer shouldn't be seen as a sign of anything like that.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 02-26-2021, 06:06 PM

he apparently called 9/11 rescuers trash.

If that's not bizarre SJW stuff, I don't know what is.

hard pass on this one.

HAH, I had one of those. I had some Real Ghostbusters reels.

But no, I won't be seeing this movie, ever. They already lost me with Abrams, but they 10000% lost me by deciding to do it the way they're doing it.

I ONLY care about a Superman movie that represents the comic book characters properly. There's a little room for leeway, but not this much. Didn't see the MCU Spider-Man movies, because they ignore the comics. Don't plan on seeing "The Batman", because of similar ass-wiping with much of the comics material. Riddler as Jigsaw? Batman as a 98-pound wimp? Nah, I'm out.

I'm not a huge Linkara guy - sometimes he's funny, sometimes irritating - but on comic book movies, we strongly agree: "I like the comic books. Those are the stories and characters I like, and I like them for specific reasons. Why would I want to watch something that completely disregards almost EVERYTHING I like about those stories and characters, to the point where it's only the same thing 'In Name Only'? I have zero interest in that whatsoever."

It's fine, I don't need to ever see any more Superman movies. They wouldn't be as good as "Man of Steel", it's not even possible. I'm of the same mind as I am about any more TMNT movies: "No thanks, they're just going to be terrible and I don't need to ever watch them. And I'm honestly Just Fine if they decide to stop trying forever."

So yeah, nice attempt at being cute, but I promise you, I won't be seeing this. We're coming up on almost ten years since BayTurtles 1 and I still haven't seen that one, either, and never, ever will. I made a promise to myself after Transformers 4 and ChickBusters almost gave me a stroke: If I already know I'm gonna hate it, I don't f*cking watch it. I'm already more than halfway to dead, at my age I don't have time to waste on sh*t that's just gonna piss me off. Which is why I'm never gonna watch "Ragnarok", either. I don't need the aggravation.

I'm done "just giving things a chance" when my gut is right 10000% of the time.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-26-2021, 06:26 PM

You know how leftists like to hijack an existing comic book character and either replace them with a new character who is LGBTQ and/or a different race, or simply force an existing character to be LGBTQ, because they know that on its own without that boost it'll probably fail? It's exactly the same principle.

i.e., "I really, really want to make a 'powerful' movie that makes a lot of money about systemic racism, how Trump supporters are nazis, and what a saint George Floyd was... but I know nobody will see it because nobody ever sees those kinds of movies (not in big numbers). But now if I package that movie inside of a 'Superman' relaunch movie! Ho-hooo!"
