Amy Adams as Lois Lane in Batman vs Superman was a great positive

The beginning of a film has a more sinister take on the Lois Lane damsel in distress. She deals with African terrorists after attempting to save them in their world, trying to make an impact.

She doesn't say much about it, but the information is inferred well. I really enjoy what they do with her in the movie.

She's smart enough to go after Lex, showing that she is very intelligent.

It's good that we later see Clark and Lois together, although not much is done with Clark as a character, other than to oppose Batman.

Batman vs Superman review

During the credits, we see Batman's origins, a lot of fades (in JJ Abrams' lens flare-ish quantites). This reminds me of Watchmen but without the 80s music.

Batman is then with a little girl and then watches Superman and his kind destroy a city.

The acting feels a bit soap opera-ish but does have the whole religious theme thing.



Amy Adams captured but a bit darker, no pun intended regarding an African terrrorist she's investigating. She doesn't say much about it, but the information is inferred well. I really enjoy what they do with her in the movie. It's good that we later see Clark and Lois together, although not much is done with Clark as a character, other than to oppose Batman.

The police are afraid of Batman in a great opening scene.

Lex does a bit of technobabble discussing Kryptonite's effects on Kryptonian bodies. This is why better than the technobabble in Fantastic Four despite for the most part discussing totally fictional substances other than the decay term. Silver bullets are an interesting term.



Holly Hunter's character is  vs Superman. She is featured throughout the film, though not much in the end which is regretable. Clark watches on.

Perry opposes Clark's decision to stand up versus Batman.

Gal Gadot is good opposing Clark and standing up for herself.



BIG PROBLEM here.

Now originally there was just the shock of Batman killing people, and KILLING PEOPLE with guns.

And there was like 500 dead bodies on the floor!

But it was a dream.

And then let's discuss later.

However, this was pretty much the segment in the film where I discuss the substance of the film outside of the quality of the religious overtones. and just giving characters a lot of stuff to do.



Taking off Affleck's mask would've been a better introduction to the Batfleck character, not to mention if you're going to give him a mask to put on.



And then there's this segment of dialogue that seems like Snyder stole it from the Room.

Why does Batman hate Superman/ What war? What the fuck is this dialogue about?

How many good guys left? Stayed that way?

Can they please explain what the fuck they're talking about somewhere in this movie?

This is like the scene with florist with better acting.



Wilhelm scream car crash.

Batman kills more people. Car crashes.

Superman stops him.

Nothing happens.



Holly Hunter.

Lane investigates.

Why the fuck does Batman know about Wonder Woman but superhearing Superman doesn't?



Kevin Costner looks really old.

Diane Lane

Batman kidnaps Martha Kent.

Lois confronts Lex.

Lex kidnaps her.

Superman confronts him.

Lex reveals he kidnapped Lois.

Superman kneels.



Batman uses Kryptonite grenades vs Superman.

Superman is weakened and beaten up.

For whatever reason, Batman doesn't kill Superman right then and there cuz he's a main character.

Superman gets some energy back and throws Batman through skyscrapers as if Batman could actually survive them for some odd reason. Snyder again doesn't know what the heck he's doing.

Batman doesn't kill Superman because he knows his mother's name? That would be the exact opposite friggin commie spy.

Batman's a racist. He kills 500 people every day. But your mothers have the same name so whatever.



Martha survives.

The only point she shows up in the film.

How do they even know who Martha is?

Superman has no disguise?

Ugh.



Dawn of Justice?

Doomsday.

US generals says he's unstoppable.

Batman uses Kryptonite.

Wonder Woman saves his life.

Batman and Wonder Woman join forces after Superman's death forming the Justice League. Pretty much the only good idea I recall after that travesty of Batamn action.

I was hoping for Deadshot instead of Batman in the end.

Way to cameo.



Recap:

I like the acting, I like the actors giving something to do, but it could've been better.

Batman had so much potential, but Snyder throws away his character whenever there's an action scene. I honestly think this was a way more interesting, exciting (and unintentionally funny film than Man of Steel, with a lot more meat) but again, there was some miscommunication problems with the crew. A lot of the storytelling just got destroyed when they were given mixed signals or just for the neglect of the story, which I'm guessing was probably Snyder's fault.

Snyder can probably do a fun anime and/or superhero adaptation like FLCL or Deadpool, but I think this genre isn't a good fit for him.

What'd you guys think?

Batman '89 NES review

Fun game.
You're in purple this time. You're smaller than Batman Dynamite. Batman has 3 weapons. The Batarangs I recommend spamming like crazy due to their low cost, and the amount of ammo drop. ou do feel like the Batman throwing all these items.
The gun is useful for long ranged and accurate shots.

You have a life bar.
You can hang on walls.
The game is loved by AVGN and much of the online youtube retro gamer community.

The rocket launcher may do more damage, but I'm unsure.

You press select to pause and start to change weapons.

Holding the jump button allows for higher reach.

You fight these flying guys.

This Batman has more platforming options than Batman Dynamite/Revenge of the Joker.

The intro looks like that of the movie.

The goons look like nothing from the movie.

These flying jetpack dudes will piss you off!

UGH!

Dynamite Batman (Japanese) review

This was a fun game.
Batman wears blue, like in the Silver age, when it was made.
Batman has a fucking gun. As much as Batman fans are going to complain, it's probably an infinite ammo laser gun and good adaptations and sequels do something different.
The platforming and challenge is there.
You go through a narrow set of corridors.
You can shoot through boxes.
There are booby traps.
It gets pretty insane later.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Episode 6, "Star City 2046"

This was a great episode.
Missing Arrow in 2046
Dystopia
Deathstroke's son
Well he was an insane disappointment.
Firestorm arguing with Atom over scientific stuff.
Bird of Prey blaming herself in front of Rip Hunter and Green Arrow II

Captain Cold doing stuff with the bad side. Maybe a bit campy evil bikers.

Resolution.

Atom vs Firestorm over crushes over Keira Hall.

Reasons why Thor (2011) wasn't the worst movie ever

Chris Hemsworth looked like Thor. He wasn't John Wayne in the Conqueror.
No one died in it like John Wayne in the Conqueror.
The lines are spoke in the right order, although plothole filled.
As much as Loki has been poorly written and spoken of origin (with plotholes) at least we got across that he was not trustworthy.
The CGI for what existed was great, which could lead to a CGI LOTR LOKI film someday.
