I'm not saying they'd be worse in terms of their content. But that little something added, is a little something added. Knowing there's a singular timeline, films that are films within that timeline are cool little nods.
Meh, if I found out Terminator and Matrix are infact in the same universe, I'd smile but that would be about it. I suppose I can only speak for myself though.
But The Dark Knight Rises was especially written in a world where no heroes exist. They could go as far as they liked. Avengers and characters own films explained where people would be in Iron Man 3.
I doubt avengers will go so far as to explain anything, that's not their style. As long as they keep winking at us, no one really complains..nolan doesn't wink though ergo it would just fall apart. End of the world scenario in the UK during thor and no not even one word from the organization that's all about saving the world from such things? Of all times not to feature Coulson.
And that's my point, Nolan was free to tell that story because Superman, Flash and GL weren't in the next city over watching national news. How else could you remove a cities big hero from the chessboard for months and hold a city hostage on the world stage.
What's the price of Freedom I wonder.
Cool thing about BvS is that you can have this, "starting of" story. One in which heroes aren't around to stop zod but the are born out of it..Things get funky from there though.
Why not share it with the current Superman/Batman?
I don't have a problem with what superman/batman looks to be doing. I simply don't think other approaches(such as what's going on in DC tv) need to be constantly berated for doing their own thing. True Detective and The Wire and Breaking Bad are great on their own, without someone chiming in that they should be doing what marvel....etc. Same with movies. I feel like if tmr, DC said they won't be tying anything else together, it would somehow be seen as a 'fail' in this new world. That's my issue. This new standard of measuring 'quality' when it comes to this material.
I much preferred it before they started bringing Ra's in to it. I really hope they go no further than Nyssa.
I preferred it when it was just him and that big bag and he even had to keep his purpose from his driver. Now it's more and more scooby bunch with people like diggle sitting in the club house often doing nothing. I like that he is now surrounded by targets I guess but I still prefer the tension of the early eps.
