Man of Steel 2: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice: Step Up 2 The Streets (of Gotham

): Mission: Impossible -- Gentleman Ghost Protocol: The Legend of Joker's Gold: Flashpoint: The Dastardly Death of Brevity: Electric Boogaloo -- Task Force X: Checkmate: A Young Girl's Strange, Erotic Journey from Metropolis to Minsk

is the official title of the Batman/Superman movie. Basically.

Okay, it's just Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But still.

I guess it's clearly a Justice League prequel.

Anyway, NEWS ROUNDUP

--First look at new batsuit

--Movie will also feature Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher).

--Justice League in 2018.

--David S. Goyer is a douchebag.

--Movie to make all the money for some reason.

Could be good, but I'm not holding my breath.

Goyer's opinions and behavior are awful, bad enough that not even the comments section of that article can't focus on that without diverting to Pokemon sex out of reflex. It's beautiful and horrifying.

i have no faith...

If this was like 2 movies (part 1 and part 2) and each were 2 and a half or 3 hours long they would have enough room to explain everything that needs showing in order for this to be good... in a single flick? No way.

You mean like...The Marvel Cinematic Universe?

For sure. but it was clearly made for you to know who those characters were beforehand, which most of the audience for that movie did know anyway.

I don't think they need an origin film for Batman... to be quite honest, for superman i would think a Origin Montage early in the movie would be enough... but they do need to setup an movie that would justify these guys coming together...

Which is why i always defended that the best to do this was the Justice League cartoon. There were no Origin tales there for each hero, they were already stabilished and active, but they did create a world even where those heroes had to come together and go ''you know what? We should stick together more often...'' The original Justice League pilot, Secret Origins, did that in 3 episodes. A full animated movie length.

If the writing team of the Justice League cartoons were spearheading this movie i would be fangasming all over it... but i have little faith the current people can pull it off.

Dawn of the Bromance? Hehehe...

That kind of reminds me of the homoerotic, sex-fueled World's Finest #289. Hot and heavy in the Fortress of Solitude...

That's what I meant with my joke. They could quite easily emulate the Marvel Cinematic Universe and do it properly by having individual movies before the team up, but they seem determined not to do that by adding in Wonder Woman and Cyborg and then saying the next movie will just be Justice League.

Because the closest experience with comic books of the suits hiring them is the Sunday funny pages. And not even the good funny pages.

I'm ready for this movie I guess.

...except She Hulk pretty much was created as the sexual fantasy counterpart to the Hulk male power fantasy. Nothing said there is really wrong.

Honestly, I have an incredible disdain for nerd culture because nerd culture is a toxic fucking cesspit of man-children and immaturity, and I can still enjoy superhero movies! There's nothing about making a really good, really strong superhero movie that does great that involves having to like the fanbase culture that surrounds it.
