I think both MOS and Superman 25 are somewhere in the 6-8/10 range for me. I do slightly prefer Superman 25 cause I just like more upbeat fun movies generally but both are good Superman films in their own ways. Both got issues I don’t like, both got stuff I like
Never understood the hatred for either

Some stuff yes, but 90% of the criticisms I see for either is purely bad faith criticism, straight up disrespect or straight up just toxic shit

There’s criticism then there’s shit like calling actors ugly or hurling insults and slurs at people cause of an opinion

I simply wanna discuss movies WITHOUT someone going “Gunn/Snyder sucks if you like their films you’re a dumbass!”

Needed to vent that. I’m genuinely disappointed with the state of the DC fandom

I just like the big blue man in tights and think both are cool. Simple as that

Anyway if anyone read this and has ACTUAL discussion about it without being a wank you’re welcome to talk

The tourists aren’t even bothering to read the fucking guide books any more with this kind of bullshit.

Wot his naym?

I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea but I was thinking how well suited he is to run DC Studios when you compare it to the often messy past of DC Films.

He can make films that hit around two hour mark and delivers them on time and on budget, Warner Brothers will love that and hopefully not interfere.

He won't green light a script until he is happy with it, which feels obvious but this hasn't been the case in the past.

He wants to let directors create their own vision, that allows for variety in style both in and outside of DCU projects.

He gets superhero comics. He also promotes the books themselves.

He know's when to be silly and when to play it straight.

He is full of surprises. It makes it so much more interesting following the output of DC studios. Krypto, Mr Terrific, Guy Gardiner, Creature Commandos and even a Clayface body horror film. It just isn't predictable, which is fun.

It's hard to think who would be better suited to taking over DC studios.

It's crazy how Clooney's Batman actually feels way closer to the Batman from the comics than Affleck's did.

The no-kill rule is one of Batman's biggest things across decades of stories—he straight-up refuses to use guns or take lives, he captured his villians and gives them a shot at redemption instead of straight up killing them like Affleck did.

Every villian from "Batman & Robin" gets taken down non-lethally and shipped off to Arkham alive. And he even saves his wife Nora and shows real empathy for the guy's tragic situation and basically appealing to the good still left in him. That's classic Batman compassion.

Affleck's version? He kills multiple people on-screen in Batman v Superman with guns and explosives from his batmobile and batwing, brands criminals who then get murdered in prison, and was fully ready to execute Superman with a kryptonite spear instead of trying to have a conversation with him 1st. That's a pretty massive break from the moral code we know.

Clooney also absolutely nails the classic playboy Bruce Wayne vibe—the charming, high-society guy who's the perfect public mask to hide the darkness underneath. His Bruce feels suave and socially active. Affleck's Wayne comes off way more withdrawn, cynical, and reclusive.

When you stack it up against the comics' focus on the unbreakable moral code, compassion, Bat-family, and the playboy facade, Clooney's version hits closer to the spirit of the source material.

im crine

Anyone remembers that guy?
