TDK, Superman, BB, and Watchmen

i will give you another answer once we get the ultimate cut of BvS.

This isnt the board to talk about movies, go to /tv/ people actually knows about movies there.

TDK is unequivocally the greatest superhero movie of all time and one of the greatest movies ever made in general. It sets the bar so high that no other superhero film has come close to touching it. However there are a number of great superhero films:

Batman Begins, TDKR, Iron Man, X2, First Class, DOFP, Spider-Man, and Spider-Man 2

Plus ones I think are underrated like Watchmen, Man of Steel, BvS, and The First Avenger

No really, tell me who the main character is.

>Superman
Less than 40 lines of dialogue and doesn't do anything. He saves Lois twice and lets Jimmy Olsen die.

>Batman
Brands and murders people, downloads some stuff and steals some kyptonite.

>Lois
Falls down and drops a spear

>Wonder Woman
Steals something and hands it right back to person she stole it from. Two separate people said "Is that selena Kyle?" Then stands around in the end

>Lex
WTF. His plan makes no sense, his actions make no sense.

No character grows in any way. No one has a dilemma.
>But batman and superman fight!
No, batman and superman fight for a small period of time and then batman decides not to kill him because their moms share a name. How noble and clearly learning that Superman isn't a threat!

You are a retarded shill if you like BvS, fucking attack of the clones was a better movie.
>>
>>81966432

I am honestly sort of rankled by that line on the monolith, "If you seek his monument, look around you."

Thats not an original line. Its from the grave of Christopher Wren, a super influential english architect. It made sense in the original context because, at the time of his death, you actually could just look around England and find something that was either his work or based on his work.

In BvS, its just sort of a deep sounding line thrown in for ambiance or whatever. It doesn't actually make any sense or mean anything in context. Its just a thing to sound cool, devoid of substance.

Not him, but its a legitimate criticism.

Coming on the coat tails of MoS and starting with him in the movie's opening, it feels like Superman is supposed to be our main character again. But then he basically does nothing for most of the film besides exist. He has no agency, he is more like the premise of the movie and only there so everyone else can react to his presence.

So Batman should be our protagonist then. This makes sense, as we spend a lot of the movie dealing with his origins and development and stuff. But the movie never treats him as a protagonist, the script treats him like an antagonist.

So I guess it is an ensemble movie, but it sort of feels like it ended up there more because of a lack of managing to be anything else rather than as a deliberate choice. The viewpoint and characterization doesn't really hold together, its just sort of crammed into close proximity and Synder hopes that the magic of cinema will provide the illusion that this is a cohesive story.

No I don't care about screen time, I care about character progression.

No one has a conflict in this film, they just move dumbly through the plot that has holes big enough to drive trucks through.

Let's write out Lex's "plan".
1. Get a large chunk of Kryptonite
2. Write angry notes on checks
3. Lose an import licence for the kryptonite (as opposed to putting in on a goddamn helicopter and and smuggling it in, even Thanos has a helicopter and Lex cares about import/export laws??!)
4. Leak information about a boat it will be smuggled in on
5. Have Batman steal this info at a party
6. Now Batman will fight superman!

What's more amazing is Batman actually did what Lex wanted. You'd need a copy of the script to know that's what you are supposed to do.

I know he let him retards but we don't need Nite Owl coming in and saying YOU ARE A BAD MAN OZY WHAT YOU DID IS WRONG AND YOU ARE THE BAD GUY as the movie's ending note.

Why? There's no point to it in the story. Just a purple cat out of nowhere. If you ignore the comic and look at the movie in a vacuum it's completely random and pointless.


>I'm pretty sure multiple megadeaths planned by Ozy were a pretty good reason

Yeah the Comedian is so easily traumatized by large-scale death.
>They were great
>Theres nothing wrong about that if you don't care about the comic

If you just want to see 300 with Watchmen costumes why waste time with the rest of the story? We half-assed a serious story about superheroes and then got a bunch of cheesy Snyder action on top of that. Why do this?

There was a lot of character progression. Batman's whole philosophy was turned around and he did a complete 180 in his perception of others. He believed that he was the only good man left in the entire planet. "How many good men are left? How many stayed that way?" Superman (and to an extent, Wonder Woman) showed him that people are still good and gave him hope that the other metahumans will also be good.

Every one of Batman's thoughts were proven wrong. He realized his "1%" chance is pure paranoia and not everyone has to be an enemy. He realizes that cruelty isn't the way to do things. He regains the ability to trust people other than Alfred, something he hasn't done since Robin's death.

Wonder Woman changed too. The only reason she came back to the people of men was to retrieve a photo, but she was inspired by Superman, Batman, and the other metahumans to come back to the realm of men. Why else would she have put herself at risk to fight Doomsday?

Now I'm not an expert at this, but even I was able to see this character progression.
>>
>>81967672

Lex had no real plan, he was just flailing randomly like a sperg.

There is no, I repeat NO, conceivable outcome of Doomsday that would have been to Lex's advantage.

If Superman beats Doomsday, then Lex still gets caught and goes to jail, except this time the charges against him are even greater.

If Doomssday succeeds in killing superman... congrats, you still have a rampaging Doomsday. The whole point of making him was that nothing else was strong enough to kill Superman, and superman is stronger. So whats your brilliant master plan for killing Doomsday? He clearly isn't loyal to Lex in any way, if Superman hadn't shown up just in time for Doomsday's reveal then Lex would have been the first to die.

Its not even a rock/paper/scissors kind of thing, where Lex had an ace up his sleeve to kill doomsday that wouldn't work on Superman. They are both Kryptonian, they have the exact same weaknesses. Any plan for solving the Doomsday problem is the exact same thing that would have to work on Superman too, so why not use that one first and cut out the incredibly dangerous middle man?

What I took from the movie is that Lex wanted either:
A)To be at the top
B)Or to not be at the top but in his own terms
He felt Superman was above him, so he wanted to kill him at all cost, and even if Doomsday also killed him and everybody else in the planet, at least it would be because he created it.

As someone who hadn't read the book when it came out, the message just becomes different.

Actually, I think I still have never read the comic. What was the message? According to what I hear on /co/, it's that costumed heroes are lame and ineffective, terrible people, and I guess Snyder "missed the point" by putting in flashy fight sequences? I dunno. They still all seemed like terrible people to me, even if they could kick some random thugs' asses. It's my biggest issue when watching the movie, all of the main characters are so utterly unlikable and grating that I fucking can't stand it. I still think it relays the plot very well, with or without the alien squid at the end.

nothing. Ben's performance was dull as dishwater and his fight scenes were dull as dirt or unintentionally hilarious. It was technically impressive but entirely empty, I didn't care at all when he went full Arkham Asylum on those mooks.

And the romance felt pretty good in those movies. Compared to fucking MoS and BvS's romance. 3/4 were terrible but at least they were campy, stupid shit rather than angry and blue all the time.

I don't dislike dark themes, but I don't like angsty, angry miscarriages of movies like BvS and MoS that just show Snyder doesn't know how to write or portray Superman.

I don't even hate Snyder, I actually like Watchmen and 300, but come on, this isn't for him. And Goyer isn't useful because he's a fucking actual hack.

There's a special level of hell for people who use that argument. It's both incredibly elitist and wildly idiotic.

If you actually listen to Zack Snyder talk about his movies he's way more ashamed of comic booky stuff than Nolan ever was. Only thing is his action scenes are still so cheesy and cartoony despite this.

>There are Batman comics which are less comic-booky then even the Nolan films
Bullshit. Show me a Batman comic that was ashamed to call Selina Kyle "Catwoman", or had to have the Batmobile be a modified tank prototype that was never called "The Batmobile", couldn't commit to putting Scarecrow in any kind of costume, or had Bane without venom. I get the feeling that he wouldn't have even called him "Batman" if WB executives hadn't forced him for marketing purposes. He wanted to tell a Batman story where everything had a practical, tangible anchor to the real world, except in doing that, all he did was highlight how fucking ridiculous a man dressing up like a bat to fight crime is.

When asked repeatedly if Robin existed in his universe, or any other DC heroes, he practically recoiled with disgust at the notion. He's responsible for creating a whole generation of Batfags who want their favorite hero to exist in his own private universe because he's "real", but he rest of the DC universe is just too weird.

>>81968863
I dunno. I only ever heard that comment about characters talking in costume, and really, look at most other cape flicks now. Most characters who had masks, helmets or other things on their faces no longer do. Cap, Thor, Hawkeye... I think it just comes down to the fact that covering a persons face when they should be emoting causes a disconnect.

and really, Snyder put Parademons, alternate universes and Aquaman in his second DC movie. I don't think he's ashamed of comic book stuff.

I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but I'm worried because the one negative review on RT right now says the movie doesn't take any risks or accomplish anything major because it seems too concerned with keeping the universe intact for more sequels. Shame.
>>
>>81969116

Listen to the rest of that same interview then. He brings up more shit that he changed because "this had to be more modern etc"

Also Cap talks with his helmet on all the time.
>>
>>81969116
Yeah, I don't think he is ashamed of it at all, what I think is he is over thinking it and fears the Asudience will dislike aspects of it if it's too comic booky.

Actually, did anyone ever refer to Bruce as Batman other than Perry and even when he did it was more like "the Bat Man"

Dude in Man of Steel they intentionally avoid saying Superman unti the very end.
>>
>>81969230
Maybe. Could have also been damage control.

Doesn't really matter, I don't trust any reviews any more. Over the last few years especially, I've found a number of movies that were poorly-reviewed, yet I enjoyed them, and vise-versa, especially where capeshit is concerned.

Thats not relevant to the criticism of the review being completely valid. It was essentially TWS 2 with all the same plot points and the same feeling of no resolution at the end.

Mask of Phantasm was good, but Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker was way better.

This is true. Ironically, virtually nothing that happens is even remotely realistic. Funny how these things work.

He stops killing. And he start living as a hero again inspired by superman.

>>81970588
He doesn't fight anyone after DD dies, you could argue Lex but that just creates the question "Why does Batman go into Lex's cell and consider killing him but not the Joker?"
>>

>"Why does Batman go into Lex's cell and consider killing him but not the Joker?"

Actually you can't. But you are just a dense idiot that didnt understood the movie.

Explain why a Batman that kills AND that is fine with breaking into criminal's cells hasn't killed the Joker yet.

As said in the movie: he started killing AFTER the metropolis invasion.

And he doesnt kill in cold blood. As far as his converned the joker is gone forever. But you don't want a rational answer you want to shitpost.
>>
>>81971836
So what was the point of going after Lex? To brand him? That also raises the question "Why doesn't he brand the Joker?"
>>
>>81971910
>So what was the point of going after Lex? To brand him?
To tell him he'll be watching him.
>"Why doesn't he brand the Joker?"
He either only started branding after Joker got imprisioned or he only brands pedophiles and sex traffickers (and only threatened Luthor to scare him).
>>
>>81968276
Roger Ebert thought it was really profound having never read the comics. Obviously Snyder was saved a little because the source material is so rich, but he really managed to capture and immerse you in the alternate universe he created. I agree with Nolan in that he made the movie too early in his career as it's had a negative affect on how he views superheroes now and he's trying to deconstruct them with the same eye as Watchmen.
>>
>>81966827
>bourne movies are good

No stop. The 90s version was good not this trash that has nothing to do with the novel

The guy in the movie was the second or third guy he branded.

God... this board can't get dumber, a good movie is good regardless of if is a faithful adaptation.This is why trash like avengers doesnt get hate in this retarded board.
>>
>>81971979
>To tell him he'll be watching him.
He clearly thought about branding him.
>He either only started branding after Joker got imprisioned or he only brands pedophiles and sex traffickers (and only threatened Luthor to scare him).
But he was clearly considering using the brand.

When they butcher the whole concept of Bourne and make it a generic spy thriller. Yes i will complain. Watch the 90s version and you will understand what i mean

I'm more and more feeling as though I legitimately don't enjoy any cape movies. I find slight entertainment from the Nolan movies and some MCU movies but I wouldn't necessarily say I loved them or anything.

this
Killing PMC baddies in a vehicular firefight is way different than executing common criminals like the Punisher does.

He wouldn't kill someone like the Joker after he caught him because he has no reason to think the Joker would break out of prison. In the comics Gotham's prisons have revolving doors, but that's not established in the movies.
>>

You watched the movie with retards then if they thought Diana was Selina because they fucking say her name in the movie.

Maybe? But so far I've been enjoying how it has been triggering a lot of anons, I mean why give filenames that much importance? But I guess elitism and losing your shit over anything is the 4chan biard culture or maybe /co/ is really that easy to troll.
>>
>>81967028
Not just /co/ but any comic Watchmen nerd but honestly you can't capture the whole comic in a movie especially since Watchmen really relies on the comic medium for some of its storytelling and visual elements.

That said the movie adaptation was pretty good, a few nitpicks here and there but it was good.
>>

You are an idiot. Only people with no brain dont critisize that movie

Very Best (in no order):

-Batman Returns
-Superman: The Movie
-Iron Man
-Spider-Man 2
-The Winter Soldier
-Ant-Man
-X-Men 2

Very Worst (also no particular order):

-Superman III
-Superman IV: The Quest For Peace
-Iron Man 2
-Thor 2
- Blade: Trinity
-Green Lantern
-Avengers: Age of Ultron
>>
>>81974668
I wouldn't put AoU in worst category. It has majr flaws but also had some greats points like vision.

Glad you put Ant Man in the top list. People still dont get the golden family story in there
>>
>>81967839
This. It baffles me that the majority of the human population is too stupid to see this.
>>
>>81974814
As someone who liked Ant-Man, the family story was really poorly done. Pym's whole reason for not telling Hope how her mother died is stupid, and all the tension created by that decision just evaporates too quickly when he finally tells her. Seriously, it's secrets for the sake of secrets like an episode of Arrow.
>>
>>81967028
What makes it a good movie then? You have one part Snyder's laughable "every punch must be thrown in slow motion fight scenes", one part a a decent story that was chopped up to make more room for those action scenes, and one part period music that comes across as cheesy most of the time. I would say it was a poor attempt at recreating GotG's soundtrack success but it came out first so I'm honestly baffled with the decision-making that went into it.
>>
>>81972058
So Roger Ebert came back from the dead in order to praise your movie?
>>
>>81967839
>He realized his "1%" chance is pure paranoia and not everyone has to be an enemy.
Except it wasn't. What he wants to DO about the 1% chance is hilariously extreme, but Clark is no less of a threat because he's been "humanized". He's more of one.
>>
>>81975719
Personally I think contingency plans aren't the same as pre-emptive strikes, but I'm not sure if this Batman will have contingency plans for everyone. Maybe he'll be even more trusting than comics Batman because of a huge burst of Superman friendship instead of it being doled out throughout his whole life. Who knows?
>>
>>81967303
>not Burton's Batman
So you're saying SM2 is actually good, then?
>>
>>81975392
You forget how unstable Pym is. He's a pill popper in thr movie and hope calls him out on not being there. It makes sense. People are fucked up so are families
>>
>>81976138
Secret keeping for no reason but cheap drama is just bad writing no matter how you slice it m8. And again, as soon as he tells her all the tension it caused just goes away instantly. You get a scene where she complains that he lied to her, then another scene where he tells her the truth and she forgives him, and that's it. It was weak as fuck.
>>
>>81967103
I liked batman and robin. I just like shitty b movies though
>>
>>81966432
Movies just can't adapt the format or characters of a comic run. That's why TV series are so much better than movies for representing the universe. Arrow S4 is probably the best representation of the GAverse we've ever gotten, for example. Imagine a Zack Snyder directed Arrow movie in place of it, ugh.
