Cant really say I prefer this...

And its not even close imo. The detail and design on the second \S/ is just beautiful.

The Superman suit in the DCEU is perfection (I'm not distinguishing between the MOS one and the BvS one). The greatest Superhero suit realized on the big screen.
 
I think it's a contest between WW and Supes costumes because WW's design is so much more ridiculous and the way they interpreted it in the DCEU is marvelous.
 
The Trinity in general as realized visually in these movies are incredibly costumed. They evoke the comic book designs but have a real world heft to them.
 
I actually like Tyler's Superman suit minus the belt & cape attachment. Tyler looks good in the suit.

Tbf Batflecks regular suit in BvS, is up there for me too.
 
King Arthur is a blast. Very stylish. Hopefully it's not Ritchie's last attempt at a blockbuster of this scale.

Agree, the belt and cape attachments don't even bother me anymore mind. I think the reason for the cape attachments was to make his shoulders look bigger. The belt was just an ugly design.

Oh yeah, I have a lot of grievances with the DCEU but the costumes definitely are not one of them. They are fantastic. Though I do think they messed with perfection a bit on the BvS Supes suit. The MoS one remains tops.
 
Goddamn Black Mirror S1E3. This **** is more scary than horror movies. Its because it deals with those scary little ugly thoughts that pop in your head and just blowing that up...damn.
 
In line for Baby Driver.
 
Nice Reddit post.
"All this time I've been living my life the way my father wanted; righting wrongs for a ghost. Superman was never real."
Regardless of if it was for better or worse, Batman v Superman is a deconstruction of Superman. A way of representing him, establishing him in a real world with real consequences. And BVS as a movie was quite aware of this a meta way. Now this deconstruction was not done on a whim, like is said often times, this is set up extensively in the previous movie, Man of Steel. For a movie that was supposed to be set in the real world, Man of Steel seemed to present a lot of idealism.
Even his less than idealistic Foster Father says this: "But you're not just anyone Clark, and I have to believe; that you were... that you were sent here for a reason." Assigning a predetermined destiny, a very idealistic one, to him. In a movie about choosing one's destiny.
Clark, in this movie spends his time searching for this purpose. And everyone has something to say.
"So that Krypton can live again. On Earth." - Zod.
Until he meets up with Jor-El, his idealistic biological father who actually sent him to Earth.
"...so that you can be a bridge between two peoples....
....(referring to Lois Lane) look, you can save her Kal. You can save all of them."
This is the last time that Clark, Kal, Superman, speaks to his father. This is what he ultimately takes away from him.
That because of his power he can and will save them all. A dangerous thing to believe in the real world.
Not surprising coming from Jor-El, who is a flawed person by design. Each child on Krypton is genetically engineered to fufill one purpose in life. Born with a limited view on life. Jor-El is no exception, which is why he chooses to die on Krypton, because he can't live in the real world. In Man of Steel, Superman still doesn't wind up saving everyone like he thought he would. He even kills General Zod with his bare hands. Now, in Batman v Superman, he continues to try anyway. He is flying across the world, from the fictional African state of Nairomi, to Mexico. There is a lot to be said about the questions this raises about the omnipotence of God, but that's a digression.
The really important bit is that he is summarily proven wrong, given a rude awakening of sorts, by Lex Luthor. The Capitol Building is bombed while he is still inside, killing everyone within but him.
"I didn't see it Lo; I was standing right there and I didn't see it....I'm afraid I didn't see it because I wasn't looking. All this time, I have been living my life the way my father saw it , righting wrongs for a ghost, thinking I'm here to do good. Superman was never real, just a dream of a farmer from Kansas."
Perhaps his powers might have meant something in an idealistic world. But only then does he accept that doesn't exist in such a world. He is in the real world.
"My world doesn't exist anymore."- Superman
Briefly, he leaves the city to in search of guidance from his past. And in a scene intentionally reminiscent of Excalibur (1981) [Arthur speaks to an apparition of Merlin] he has a surreal experience, where he receives advice from his memory of his foster father.
He tells him a story of how he saved his farm from flooding by diverting water away. But that admist the celebration they had inadvertently drowned the horses of their neighbours.
This is to highlight the complexity of choice in real life, there's good and bad and the in between. But he tells him to hang on to the good as he did his mother.
From there on, Superman starts his journey to accepting his place, the movie, itself, finally establishing him squarely in the real world. Not a fiction living in Utopia.
"This is my world."
 
Black Mirror S2E1.

This show is not meant for binge watching.


I repeat. THIS SHOW IS NOT MEANT FOR BINGE WATCHING.

The worst and most scary part about this is...this makes you ask what would you do if you were in their shoes. And those who have seen the ep know what I'm saying. And when you realise the answer, that ****s you up.
 
Wow.

Sites are legit now using random reddit posts as source of info. Screenrant just did so for their batgirl casting list. lol
 
Apart from the moustache, I really liked the Ares design. He would've been more menacing had they given him better lines.

I thought he was ok, but he could definitely benefited from not being able to see his face under the helm (that or burn off that mustache) except a pair of burning eyes, and make his horns bigger and longer.
 
Batman89 had trash fighting scenes. For all the hate Snyder gets, he is still the first one to get right when it comes to Batman kicking ass.

Street fight and belltower battles are fun to watch.
 
Keaton could barely move in the suit, that's why. But i personally still get a kick out of the belltower fights.
