Justice League (DC 2017 film)

Call me when a Bat-movie has the bravery to feature a scene as Bat-shit as Adam West hanging from a chopper and spraying the great white munching his leg with shark repellant only to have that fucker EXPLODE when it hits the water.

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

first I was like

but then I was like

so people are screaming with excitement about the Zak Snyder cut of this and I just wanna hurl

Didn't see the original but BvS was demented enough for me to check this out

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

i still don't understand who are these people that are diehard Synder supporters. who?? even his clearer successes are mixed at best.

someone I know and respect said he "cried" today at the news

tbf I guess that could go either way

Someone you know and used to respect, presumably.

he's a good dude, just has weird taste in movies.

You will believe that a turd can be polished!

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

Wait, who stroked him

this movie fucking sucks idk why people think there's a way in which it doesn't. mother boxes? really?

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"

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)

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

we’re all going to feel very silly when this turns out to be a masterpiece

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.

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.

like a true nature's child

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.

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

hmm I see to have instead made the argument that this is why this movie is so forgettable instead.

nevermind, nothing to see here.

Dun-dun-DUNNNNNNNNN...

Someone on Twitter called the Snyder Cut QAnon for nerds and that sounds about right.

Fitting that the two times that director has used that song it's been a sex scene and a two-minute masturbation fantasy.

snyder, a guy who knows popular karaoke songs and no other music

I didn't see the theatrical version but I'll take Snyder's OTT self-serious juvenalia over Whedon's poisonous "witty" banter any fucking day

Good grief, the CGI on that flipped exploding car in that Flash bit is AWFUL.

over Whedon's poisonous "witty" banter any fucking day

OTM, p much everything Whedon's been involved with creatively for near if not more than a decade has been absolutely insufferable because of it. Been watching old Buffy during quarantine and even tho it is famously twee/witty/snarky itself, it's depressing how noxiously stupid and soulless his 2010s writing is in comparison. The guy who played Cyborg in this claims he was insufferable and abusive personally on set too so def fuck him if that's true

My pet theory is that as Whedon found himself supplanted by the Russos as the ultimate MCU golden boys he got even worse than he already did. And that's saying something.

this guy seems cool

You said you enjoyed the theatrical cut of Justice League like you enjoy your Saturday morning cartoons… Well this is made for grownups, so you’re not in the demographic. Also, cool of you to comment on a leaked teaser. @ScottMendelson https://t.co/Zsu2O2oixb

otm

i really loved the "ultimate cut" of batman v. superman

Guys, it's OK to hate both of them, they're both shit.

Oh, this was just on tv and I watched it for 2 minutes. It was people in costumes fighting with cartoon things.

forget that, i watched 2 minutes of avengers age of ultron, it turns out.

quelle est la différence!

Oh boy

Zack Snyder says his four-hour cut of 'Justice League' is likely coming to theaters — with an R rating and F-bomb-dropping Batman. Plus, the director weighs in on the Warner Bros. streaming controversy.​ https://t.co/0xekTaqgFa

now batman is so edgy he can kill people irl

This fucking arsehole.

Well this is made for grownups, so you’re not in the demographic.

Zack Snyder says ...an F-bomb-dropping Batman.

— December 14, 2020

Does he also take his bat-dingus out and waggle it at some point

Zack, you will convince me that your bat-film is for grownups when I read the news that it's now largely about Bruce Wayne dealing with the fallout of his recent divorce while trying to figure out how he's going to pay for his daughter's college tuition.

Finally, an R-rated superman movie.

lol

I didn’t mind this movie (in fact, compared to most others here I absolutely loved it) but the Snyder cult is just neverending comedy
