Why are you always so goddamn negative? We get it, your an insufferable douche who hates everything. For someone who supposedly loves comic books and superheroes, all you ever do is whine, bitch, and complain about them. You wanna be an asshole and hate Batman? Fine, but quit complaining about movies you haven't even seen yet just because they're not Marvel. You're a prick. You're a sad, bitter person who likes to shit on other people's fun just because it's not your idea of fun. Fuck off.
1. perhaps chill buddy pal. you’re the one who’s personally coming into people’s inboxes here.
2. i specifically dislike WB’s approach to movies, and even more specifically, zack snyder’s approach to movies, who’s such a bad director, he did a largely shot for shot adaptation of Watchmen, but still managed to screw up a ton of the themes and atmosphere. i find him to be mostly style driven and lacking in substance to hold it up, which i find substantiated by his most self-driven movie, Sucker Punch.
Marvel movies are coasting on a formula, and a formula that has rapidly run dry. i thought guardians of the galaxy was largely wildly unfunny and had lackluster action at best, and very little in the way of solid character work outside of rocket raccoon. Avengers 1 was low in substance and was mostly just a then entertaining action film. Avengers 2 sucked it pretty bad. i’m curious about Black Panther and Captain Marvel and not much else, and there’s tons of ways they could mess that up.
still, zack snyder isn’t directing any of them.
3. i have a fondness for a different kind of batman - or kinds, rather. i have no real attachment to the Coolest, Roughest, Saddest Guy Ever Batman, where everyone else’s stories and capabilities must be sublimated to batman’s angst and his overwhelming power, which turns him into a 2d caricature, and lacking in potential as a character or as a plot driver. my preferred batman takes are in the wildly ridiculous (adam west, brave and the bold), the actual mystery solver (very rare, as there’s not a lot of hard mystery/crime writers in the biz), and a batman largely defined by family instead of by his isolation. i find the attitude that batman’s family must be cast off to focus on him as a solo character incredibly limiting, for stories and for character, and the idea of “batman is the face, bruce wayne is the mask” a false one. rather, bruce wayne, as presented while he is batman, is a falsity, but what he really wants to be is bruce wayne, family man.
after all, what else is he fighting for, as a survivor of violence that tore his family apart? torn between his obsession with The Job and what The Job is supposed to accomplish, where it’s supposed to lead him to and end with.
as such,i find batman stories where the batfamily is emphasized instead of degraded some of the most engaging. as well as focus on batman’s friendship with others, including superman, instead of ones where he’s all “i have no friends”.
i diverge from a lot of people on enjoyment of batman. c’est la vie.
sincerely, take care and have a good day. i hope this helps you reconsider flying off like this lookin’ to start shit, cuz it ain’t happening.
