So, uh, anyway.

The thing that has me curious is the "if cooler heads prevail" bit. Were they screaming at each other in negotiations or what?

My guess is Reeves was using the critical failures of the DCEU movies as leverage to get more budget, creative freedom , or salary on the project and DC didn't like that. Reeves needed to prove that DCEU needs him not the other way around like the executives might believe. Hence, leaking this news to show the incredibly negative backlash his actual departure might get and how D.C. needs him to save their universe.

Marvel movies are better than DC movies.

DC threads are better than Marvel threads because of the delicious tears.

**People that enjoy Marvel movies want good DC movies too. When I watched BvS and Suicide Squad in theatres I didn't go in hoping they would suck.

How do you write a Batman movie with all the other DCCU stuff going on? Justice League is pitting Batman in world-scale conflicts that obviously take priority over city-level ones.

That's a huge challenge!

Comic book movie threads frighten me now
I ain't sayin shit about a movie until after it comes out now cause of the BvS thread
I bet it comes back in full force with JL. Especially if does lower than BvS.

A lot of "See what you did? You ruined this great thing with all of your negativity!"

I'd assume the way you right Iron Man 3 about fighting a terrorist after he fights aliens.

Its getting to the point where I'm bracing for the day a Marvel and DC movie are released too close together and we end up getting reports of a guy in a Batman mask stabbing a dude in Spider-Man pajamas in the theater lobby.

Iron Man 3 has pieces of different conflicts. I mean, what kind of villain/conflict would Bats fight in Gotham that didn't resolve themselves in some comically stupid way?

Assuming the movie is about Gotham, of course.

We'll get the Arkham Asylum movie, complete with Leto Joker taking steroids and becoming a big dumb monster.

This is just a mild prelude.
The internet is gonna catch on fire once Justice League comes out and inevitably disappoints critically. And if Thor 3 reviews better (which is likely), I fully expect nukes.



And No Man's Land already happened, it was called The Dark Knight Rises and it was glorious.

I expect JL to not do well critically, but the real fire will come when it brings in less money than BvS.

You going to knock my writing but not "Martha"?
Martha was a stroke of genius. Batflecks confusion after hearing it was great. The comedic timing on that guy is amazing.

Your catch phrase could work either way. It could be like rip in peace or if they just say "it's cp time!" All the other heroes could kinda hang back looking at each other like "what kinda sicko is this?" It'd be like an ambiguously gay duo gag.
