I am not a prude when it comes to violence, but there were two scenes where it felt a little too 'real' for me.

Was curious about the recent #releasetheSnyderCut furor. Good Vulture summary to remind myself some folk like grim DC, and not everyone is tied to a Golden Age or Darwyn Cooke JL version.

Some people like putting cigarettes out on their genitals, too. That doesn't mean DC should cater to that audience....OR DOES IT?!?

I love that not only does Batman create a bat outfit to put fear into the hearts of criminals, he also sculpts an angry facial expression onto his cowl as well https://t.co/DPQ2T6xx6x— Mike Dawson 🕶 (@mike_daws) November 19, 2019

Trust me I have no desire in defending this movie or especially Snyder, but surely that's a set photo and not an actual snydercut still?
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 20 November 2019 22:44 (four years ago) link
I assume the costume is the same in the footage as in the set photos
― insecurity bear (sic), Wednesday, 20 November 2019 22:48 (four years ago) link
Right.. but I didn't get the sense that the original tweet was talking about the costume itself, just the retweeter. But now I've thought more about this movie than I've ever wanted to, so just as happy to have misconstrued and be wrong.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 20 November 2019 22:53 (four years ago) link
I found a postable version of the photo there bcz I don't know or care what the original tweet was talking about either, but I found his frowny-face mask hilarious too
(don't think I've seen any photos of the Snyder Batman before - I did see a billboard in 2017 but iirc it was cod-Alex Ross paintings)

Yeah the costumes have been pretty silly since they added the nipples to the Batsuit. I thought the original tweet was laughing at the absurdity of Bats and the other superheros huddled around a clipboard for a mid-mission briefing.

If by 'studded codpiece' you mean 'floppy two-foot rubber phallus covered in rhinestones' then yes, of course he does.

I wouldn't have know there was anything wrong with that bat costume until someone said I was supposed to realize it was obviously terrible to the point I should be crying laughing. Either I have terrible taste or I'm extremely out of the loop? Is a scowling cowl (s-cowl) for batman wrong? Tell me how to feel.
― Evan, Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:50 (four years ago) link
If this on-set photograph is your first encounter with the character known as Batman, I can see where you might howl with laughter until your bladder emptied itself in great spasmic arcs. Otherwise the costume is a little silly-looking but nothing particularly OTT.
― War Crimes Tribunal of the Network Stars (Old Lunch), Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:55 (four years ago) link
OK thanks... yeah the s-cowl did not seem particularly new or odd on batman at all.

imagining him running back to the car to change his entire costume into one where he has painstakingly moulded a kind and caring face, in between crushing the spine of a baddie and comforting the little orphan girl that the baddie was menacing

this is much more pedestrian than the gonzo BvS. it was also a better movie. but a forgettable one.

in Snyder's version, Superman is a stroke victim who recovers through the power of Lex Luthor's pee

― officer sonny bonds, lytton pd (mayor jingleberries), Friday, 22 May 2020 02:11 (three years ago) link
one major step up is that Lex Luthor's pee didn't appear at all, I mean they clearly read the room and the room said "no pee from Lex Luthor"
― I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Friday, 22 May 2020 02:12 (three years ago) link
does the Snyder version use mother boxes and the Whedon one didn't?
(I saw some webicles thrilling themselves that Darkseid is in the Snyder version but wasn't in Whedon, and it's hard to imagine a temperament less suited to cast Darkseid as a villain than that of a Randian)
― Bleeqwot (sic), Friday, 22 May 2020 02:25 (three years ago) link
Frankly it did seem kind of dumb to use Steppenwolf instead of Darkseid; or wishful thinking that they'd eventually get to a sequel to use him

I'm curious about how big disasters get made and I will watch this to see one step in the process. But Justice League was far less memorable than BVS or Suicide Squad -- I remember Cavill's cg face, Aquaman sitting on the lasso of truth, and not much else.
― wasdnous (abanana), Saturday, 23 May 2020 11:26 (three years ago) link
I spent more years than were sensible reading DC superhero comics and I have never even heard of Steppenwolf as a character. I tried watching this piece of shit film once and didn't make it 15 minutes in. Colossally stupid and boring and idiotically staged.

Steppenwolf is an incredibly minor Fourth World character, with only maybe like two or three appearances throughout Kirby's tenure.The Fourth World in general is something I just don't want to see adapted by anyone, let alone this particular nozzle. They did it relative justice in the DCAU but that was enough.
― Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Saturday, 23 May 2020 13:53 (three years ago) link
idk how y'all didn't see this as a overwhelmingly marked improvement from BvS.
I submit:
-No Luthor pee jar-No Superman fucking Lois in the bathtub-No "Martha"-gate
― I am a free. I am not man. A number. (Neanderthal), Saturday, 23 May 2020 14:47 (three years ago) link
hmm I see to have instead made the argument that this is why this movie is so forgettable instead.
nevermind, nothing to see here.
