Warner Bros: Batgirl was a complete mess. No amount of money would have made it good.

Also Warner Bros:

DC - The mark of quality 🤣🤣🤣

#anti dceu #anti warner bros #lol #I’m not saying batgirl would have been good but the idea that anyone in WB and DC give a shit about quality is hilarious

Friendly reminder. Bruce Wayne hung up the suit and retired after THREATENING someone with a gun and this was his reaction.

And then his immediate reaction is to shut down and close the Batcave and his only words were. "Never again"

A truly tragic, but fitting way for Bruce’s career to end. Powerful stuff. Batman's career ended the same way it began: with a desperate man wielding a gun

Batman choosing not to be weak like Joe Chill >>>> Batman going on a killing spree because fighting crime is hard.

And by the way, since Zack Snyder says his inspiration was Dark Knight Returns, I got news for you, TDKR Batman doesn't kill either.

Zack Snyder is a complete blithering fucking idiot.

his statement on Batman just lines up with what I’ve seen from all of his work. He likes the idea of the comics he makes movies out of but he doesn’t actually understand their themes. A Batman that kills is pointless. An edgy Superman is not only the most boring way to write him, but doesn’t make any sense without the wholesome one. That’s why injustice Superman/brightburn/Plutonian/omniman/homelander kind of make sense in their own ways because the original exists to compare them to.(mostly also boring though) His take on watchmen was pretty much devoid of any of the actual commentary from the graphic novel, but instead was just a dark justice league that were pretty bad at their jobs. Rorschach was just framed as a kind of unhinged Batman, but still a badass that does good, which is wildly generous compared to the way he’s originally written. I can understand turning your brain off and coasting through an action movie, but his fans are delusional if they think he does any of these stories justice. I wouldn’t take any of his comments seriously if they would stop letting him make these mediocre movies.

Zack Snyder is all flash and no substance. His films are visually stunning but utterly lacking in compelling storytelling.

The point of Batman is he cannot 'stoop to their level'. He HAS to be better, he HAS to believe these criminals can be rehabilitated, because if he kills them, he becomes just like them. With his wit, his intellect, he could future proof the city against crime ever happening by just killing the criminals before they commit crimes based on probable statistics and similar themes. But a Batman who refuses to kill is a murderer by inaction. Every time he chooses not to put Joker in the ground, he's allowed him to slaughter dozens, hundreds more, just for a laugh. Batman is equally guilty for every one of those deaths, because he could simply kill the Joker, and stop him from ever killing again. But he doesn't. Snyder saying Batman can kill, Batman SHOULD kill, is to say that without batman doing so, or being able to, he is just as bad as the villians. Except dipshit doesn't even have his Batman kill The Joker. "Oopsie daisy, Joker got out and bombed a hospital full of people, sowwwwyyyy, I put him back in jail again dunt worry TeeHeee :3". And then next week we do it all over again. OR. You kill the Joker, and he never hurts another person again. Which is why Jason Todd works so well as a counter to batman, and SHOULD be what Snyder is looking into. The reason why Zod works so well as a villain is because Humans are flawed apes who cant be trusted to govern themselves and should be conquered, and Superman, a literal God, could fix all that, but doesn't, because of Hope. Its foolish, childish even, to consider that a solution. And when placed in the vacuum of a comic book it works because you have to suspend disbelief, and forget that Superman let a city full of people die while he punched Zod through skyscrapers.

If you want Batman to kill people, just go and read one of his 1784956th copies that kill people. Go read Midnighter. Go read Punisher. Go read Moon Knight. Go read Peacemaker. Go read Nighthawk. What is stopping you?

I'm sure all those characters have brought about the peace and prosperity and the crime-free society that a "killer Batman" was supposed to. "Punisher would clean Gotham in under a week", right, just like he cleaned Marvel's New York, didn't he?

It has to be Batman specifically the one doing the killing? The number of superheroes that kill is nowadays much higher than the number of heroes who don't. Remember how Hawkeye spent the better part of his existence being the most anti-killing Avenger? Nowadays he is known as a super-assassin that "never had a non-kill rule". Should heroes who don't kill go extinct?

I like that Batman doesn't kill people. I feel no need to turn him into something he isn't like it was done to Hawkeye. If I wanted a Batman that kills, I would go and read one of the thousand "Batman who kills" out there.

Batman should not kill and should never kill.

"Gotham would be better off if Batman just killed The Joker"

You. Miss. The. Entire. Point.

Bruce Wayne lost his parents to crime and Bruce Wayne is a child who died alongside his parents and was reborn as a creature dedicated to insuring it never happened to any other child. He made a vow never to reduce himself to the criminal scum’s level or to Joe Chill’s level. He never kills for a reason.

Batman not killing is what makes him so compelling, if he kills criminals, there is no moral conflict, he is no better than the Punisher, Wolverine or any other dark edgy hero. Hell, if he starts to take a life, Batman is no better than Ra’s Al Ghul.

In the Daredevil Netflix show, Frank Castle told Daredevil this “That’s not how this works. You cross over to my side of the line, you don’t get to come back from that. Not ever.” That alone is why Batman should not kill, not even The Joker. Bruce Wayne is not Frank Castle, stop trying to make him Frank Castle. I mean…Stan Lee was absolutely disgusted when someone called The Punisher a hero, Frank Castle is a murderer, not a hero. How is this so hard for people to understand?

I don’t want to hear that Batman killed in the old comics and I don’t want to hear Elseworld stories. It’s an established fact that Batman does not kill and it’s a big part of his character.

Guess what? We already got a Bruce who killed The Joker, it happened in the Burtonverse/Schumacherverse and he was disgusted with himself. “So, you're willing to take a life.” “Long as it's Two-Face.” “Then it will happen this way: You make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.”

A huge part of Bruce’s character is that he doesn’t kill, no matter what. Same with Clark. But edgelord writers from the New 52, DCEU and the Injustice abominations think it’s cool to make heroes kill. Heroes should not kill. You can’t be a hero and a killer. IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY!

Guess what would happen if Batman kills The Joker? The Joker wins. The Joker and Batman are each trying to prove a point to society - and really to us, the readers. The Joker wants Batman to kill him because he perfectly embodies chaos and anarchy and wants to prove a point to everyone that people are basically more chaotic than orderly. This is why he is so scary: we are worried he may be right. If the Joker is right, then civilization is a ruse and we are all truly monsters inside. If the Joker can prove that Batman - the most orderly and logical and self-controlled of all of us - is a monster inside, then we are all monsters inside, and that is terrifying. The Joker is terrifying because we fear that we are like him deep down - that he is us. Batman is what we (any average person) could be at our absolute best, and the Joker is what we could be at our absolute worst. The Joker’s claim is that we are all terrible deep down, and it is only the law and our misplaced sense of justice that keeps us in line. Since Batman isn’t confined by the law, he is a perfect test case to try to get him to "break.” The Joker wants Batman to kill a person, any person, but knows that the only person Batman might ever even remotely consider killing would have to be a terrible monster, so is willing to do this himself and sacrifice himself to prove this macabre point. Batman needs to prove that it is not just laws that keep us in line, but basic human decency and our natural instinct NOT to kill. If Batman can prove this, then others will be inspired by his example (the citizens of Gotham, but again, also the readers), just as we are all inspired every day to keep civilization running smoothly and not descend into violence, anarchy, and chaos. This ability to be decent in the face of the horrors and temptations present all around us is humanity’s superpower, the superpower of each of us. The struggle of Batman and the Joker is the internal struggle of each of us. But we are inspired by Batman’s example, not the Joker’s, because Batman always wins the argument, because he has not killed the Joker.

Batman not killing matters. Batman stories to me are the ultimate tale of turning pain and suffering into something positive. That is a story that everyone can relate to because let's be honest here. The world can suck. I've experienced and probably will always experience feelings of fear of depression of anger of angst. It's in my nature as a human being to experience those things. It's in all our nature it is what we choose to do with that pain that we all feel that defines us. Batman chose to turn all those negative emotions, he feels into a symbol that can bring people. Hope that Batman will save us from pain but more importantly hope that we can all be Batman. Why do we fall? And Batman Begins explains this best “Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.”

Yes, Bruce Wayne is a flawed crazy person. He is at times mean stubborn and even abusive but he is still good. He is still someone we can aspire to be. We can try our hardest to be Superman but no human being can fly, but we can still try to be Batman We can all try to turn our pain into something good when I see Batman killing people or fans saying he killed before and he should kill The Joker, It pains me. It actually hurts my soul. Batman is not about finding a way to kill evil. But try to redeem it. His mission is an impossible task. Maybe he should kill people. Maybe he should kill The Joker, but what makes him fascinating what makes him a hero Is the fact that he has that moral code and stopped himself from crossing that line That's why I always looked up to Batman even as a kid despite all the adult subtext or mature themes superheroes are for kids. And killing is not Batman and it is not Bruce Wayne. This is why I hated the portrayal in the DCEU and the Burtonverse and why I really hated the implication that Batman killed The Joker in Batwoman. A Batman who kills is certainly not Bruce Wayne, that is an interpretation of Bruce Wayne that completely misses the point of Batman. It's easy to kill. Batman does not make the easy choice… Batman does not kill.

mera only has one singular half second shot in the aquaman 2 trailer despite 1) being a co-lead and fan favorite in the first film, 2) being the mother of aquababy, who is in the trailer, and 3) being the love interest/wife of aquaman in this film. i genuinely cant stand wb and their pandering

My Facebook feed has been nothing but butthurt Snyder fanboys crying about their “MAture masterperice!” never getting finished.

For me, one line shows how much of a pretentious edge lord Zack Snyder really is “Batman Begins isn’t dark. He doesn’t like, get r*ped in prison. That could happen in my movie.”

Nihilism isn’t maturity. And dark and bleak doesn’t make something good.

if it wasn’t designed for the now-dead dceu garbage and popularized by zionist barbie, i might’ve actually liked this costume.

tbh its sad to see gal gadot’s image still staining diana and her mythos. i dont think there’s any way to reclaim it, and unless dc still wants to be known for casting a genocidal brainlet as ww, then they should get rid of it.

its been 7 years. can we take out the trash already? it’s starting to stink.

Okay, more Blue Beetle thoughts now that I'm done:

Nana is my favorite family member. All of her stuff was 100x funnier than anything George Lopez did.

On that note, still can't stand Rudy.

I feel like they wasted the dad killing him after only having him in a few scenes. His death might have been more narratively satisfying if he were the one tagging along and not the uncle. The one shot of him with the sea of candles behind him was maybe the best visual of the movie though.

I wasn't interested in the bug ship when it was a spaceship/hovercraft but then the little legs came out and now I love it.

Susan Sarandon's villain is not even worth mentioning. She is what she is, essentially a plot device. And I know she can do a cheesy villain well, she did it in Enchanted. I don't know why it's so hard for comic movies to make a villain worth watching, the good-to-bad ratio is so skewed. Her death scene was pretty satisfying though for a character I had zero investment in.

Pretty solid comic book film! Conceptually I like the idea of the Blue Beetle but I think what really helped it most is that Xolo Maridueña just absolutely has the charm to carry a so-so script. He's definitely lead actor material. I don't think it should have bombed like it did, I put the blame on a terrible trailer and the fact that it already had the DC*EU stink on it so close to The Fl*sh.

“Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller said.

“I want to apologise to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”

No Ezra, this is what recovering alcoholics say when they want to give up drinking. It does not apply to wanted criminals suspected of assault, burglary, and grooming small children. Turn yourself in, you piece of shit.

I’ll probably get yelled at for this (even though these are simply facts), but oh well. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve realized that Warner Bros. productions can’t keep a purely evil (or just purely mean, in Cheryl’s case) woman purely evil (or purely mean) to save their lives!

First Harley Quinn (which is a DC problem in general now), then Cheryl Blossom, and now Alicent Hightower. No, now they must become a Poor Sad Baby™, usually a Victim of Evil Men™.

Is this supposed to be empowering? Because it’s just pathetic and completely warps the characters, often making other characters look bad in the process. (The Joker and Otto were always bad, obviously. But Clifford & Penelope? 🤨 Viserys? 🤨 Fuck that bullshit!)

#I'm sure there are more but those are the only ones that come to mind. #Anyone who likes these changes can't even argue with me because THESE ARE SIMPLE FACTS. #@ Jarley antis: DNI. Harley ALWAYS loved the criminal lifestyle before meeting J and she wanted to exploit her patients! #And Jarley's relationship is mutually toxic. Joker is just worse.

The DCEU is going to end this week. Good riddance. The biggest mistake Warner made was trying to appeal to the mcu fandom instead of their own audience and it backfired. Also screwing over the director’s vision for the franchise and rushing storylines didn’t help either.

Just watched the first ten minutes of Elvis and realized that Baz Luhurmann is the only person who could make a decent Batman movie.

(Outside of Lego Batman, which is the pinnacle).

#the superhero genre is camp played so straight you forget it's camp #same as Bollywood movies #Baz is the only one Ive seen outside of Bollywood and DCTv's Legends of Tomorrow that gets this #it felt like he created the entire opening of the movie around that Elvis costume #that should have looked kinda ridiculous even though it's iconic #with the superhero genre also you gotta lean into the unreality of it #the MCU and Nolan-Znyder is so fucking self-conscious about its own silliness #billion dollar franchises that drown the inherent ridiculousness of the genre in relentless fakedeep grimdark #imagine what Luhurmann could do with the Rogues #Moulin Rouge was inspired by Bollywood movies.

Heroes are quintessentially rebels

And the Marvel and DC Heroes of today are no longer rebels.

They are costumed propaganda machines who maintain the status quo of corruption and oppression while claiming to fight for justice.

Their great power is used to protect corrupt power structures.

They support what they purport to fight against.

Villains are the Heroes of today, and the Heroes have lived long enough to see themselves become the villains.
