itt: consternation and wailing about Zach Snyder's upcoming SUPERMAN/BATMAN film/sequel to MAN OF STEEL -- official title: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

Seriously, though, I hope we finally find out the respective origins of Batman and Superman.

Batman's really Superman's uncle. and General Zod was actually a patsy, the real evil overlord is the deadly Cutsman from Mega Man 1.

seeing as Cavill read out this DKR quote at the announcement - "I want you to remember, Clark. In all the years to come. In all your most private moments. I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you" - I expect Batman is intended to steal the show

I see that quote and can only think 'slashfic'

well it is Frank Miller

imagine ben affleck saying that

i imagine eventually that Superman's main nemesis is going to be the construction crews that have to rebuild the damn city each time

"I want you to remember, Clark. In all the years to come. In all your most private moments. I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you"

AMANDA

Would love if Batman insists on calling Superman "Clark." Sort of the way some people call insist on calling Wolverine "Logan," except that it's funnier, because "Clark" is his adopted name.

"Clark, lift up that building!"

"Look out, Clark, it's made of Kryptonite!"

"Hey, Clark, check out my new Batmobile!"

"Hey Clark, please stop destroying an entire city!"

Batman doesnt say please

Over/under on this movie containing the line "I'm the goddamned Batman?"

It has to include it!

Doesn't Affleck's watery rep make sense as Bruce's public persona though?

I don't have any objections to Batfleckman.

Turn off the dark, man.

looking forward to 90 minutes of Supes and Batman discussing what haircare products they use

actually, if they make this movie fun and actiony (without going full schumacher), ben affleck walking in and saying "i'm the goddamn batman" would probably do just fine with the audience that's gearing up for Fast And The Furious 7.

i mean, i'd still be fucking shocked if they could do avengers numbers with "Superman 2 (Now With Extra Batman!)" but it's not a guaranteed turkey

holy fuck a fast and furious/batman crossover would be so much better

This movie has to play well in Christian Middle America -- there won't be any "I'm the goddamn Batman." I don't think there have been any goddamns or Jesus Christs in any of the Marvel/DC filmed entertainments, iirc. Maybe once or twice in the Nolan trio, but I don't think so... (I say that without having seen Man of Steel.)

point is just that ben's probably best off going for an unpretentious intro like that, rather than trying to outnolan nolan or something

This movie has to play well in Christian Middle America

haha what. Middle America would love a badass cussin' Batman. It just has to be PG-13.

My impression is that studios dole out the blasphemies very carefully, and the heroes don't get any of 'em.

but Batman isn't a regular hero!

"only 1.2 billion estimated damage? c'mon Supes, you gotta go hard or go home man".

lol

if this isn't completely lame, i think they will have pulled off a miracle

and that's pretty much all i have to say about it

here's another thought, actually: ELI WALLACH IS BATMAN

tell me you can't see it

"I want you to remember, Clark. In all the years to come. In all your most private moments. I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you"

I didn't read this news directly til maybe Saturday.

Surely he can't be worse than Christian Bale?

always forget how big an argo fan you were

wait did Morbz actually watch a batmovie?!?

You really need to ask that?

morbs saw the one w the joker, we talked abt it

They could have cast Morbs as Batman. I bet he would have done it for free if they let him keep the deep grouchy voice changer. I know I would!

I just saw Argo and thought evil Mirror beard Spock not batman

Surely he can't be worse than Christian Bale?

yeah I think he could. Bale was boring but at least you didn't get the palpable sense of embarrassment which I think is in play here with Affleck.

Affleck as douche-batman (basically his character in dazed and confused) would be great.

i hope they give affleck his own batman franchise

do you think we can break the Internet by photoshopping Miley from the VMAs as Harley Quinn

hope Cranston has the good sense to stay away from this

otoh lol:
And as if all of these rumors weren’t enough, now there’s talk that Matt Damon is being considered for either Aquaman or the Martian Manhunter

a dilemma for any actor

affleck's probably directing the justice league movie. he was already rumoured before and now, as sean o'neal put it, he'd get to work w/ his favorite actor. as someone who's pretty sick of the affleck comeback and very sick of the batman franchise i greeted this news w/ profound joy.

and now, as sean o'neal put it, he'd get to work w/ his favorite actor

haha

Man of Shit Gross: $660.9 million

morbsian numbers

man of gross shit

love that marvel moved ant-man up to open two weeks after superbat

not sure exactly how to read the tea leaves but i think they might be hoping a good chunk of the superbat audience will be easily swayed from seeing superbat twice

would watch Ant-Man if it was all Phase IV-style nature photography w/creepy editing

in reality will just shake my head that there is actually a fucking ant man movie
