You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 10

[StarLord]

Just making sure, cuz it definitely screams Whedon. It's really funny if HE is the guy who tackles Batgirl after that.

Yeah, about that...

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Sorry, I probably should clarify. I think I felt that the feeling or air of the scene reminded me more of something from one of the Burton films as opposed to the more recent Nolan ones.
It's probably a waste of my time, but I'll never wrap my head around the adulation for Affleck's Batman. Granted that one fight scene was pretty great. But based upon a 5 minute action scene some people consider his Batman to be definitive? I have a hard time understanding how those same fans could justify his performance in Justice League. Phoning it in would be too kind and I still can't get over those awkward comedic moments "I don't not...(like you)" and the childish giggle with glee he gets when he sees Superman arrive. Cringe worthy.

It seems to me that most things people like about Affleck has nothing to do with Affleck.

Voice = modulator.

Action = director, stunt guy, editing.

Suit = costume designer.

As for being considered definitive, don't be fooled by the minority. Bale always comes out on top in internet polls.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

How would you even know that scene exists without having shown up in the theater? The reason JL grossed less than MOS is because of BvS.

It didn't? I saw it in a bootleg of the movie.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Most people aren't you, it bears mentioning. I bet they didn't care enough to bootleg.

Why didn't they care? BvS.

 

[JackWhite]

Glad Whedon is out.

 

[The Joker]

I bet he is, too.

100% agreement. Speaking of the modulator. Was his voice that much of an improvement over Bale's? I personally never had a problem with Bale doing the 'voice" and it made sense. If people complain about bale's, i'm not quite sure how they can say Affleck's is better simply because he's using a 'modulator'? I actually found his less believable.

This is exactly what i point out to people when they tell me he's their favorite. None of their reasons have anything to do with him. It's also all fluff too. No acting choices or emotional connection compared to other actors playing superheroes. It's just stuff that reminds them of a game they played.

Doesn't bode well for the DCEU, so what else is new.

I never liked Affleck's robot voice. I'm not against having a voice modulator, but it doesn't need to sound digital. It ought to just be lower.

Modulator approach works well in the Telltale Batman. Affleck’s sounds waaaay too robotic, even when he’s out of the robot suit he fights Superman in.

I'll finally include this to the laundry list of things need to be fixed to redeem DC movies after this dark phase of the DCEU.

Batman shouldn't have a robotic voice at all. For all the criticisms Bale's bat voice got, at least he still sounded like a person. And Batman has been said to have a hoarse and growling voice in the comics;

I'd love to know where Snyder got the idea Batman should sound like a cyborg.

"I killed Jimmy Olsen cause it's cool, and there is no room for more characters"
I expect an answer of this kind.

That panel is the best thing about that cancelled series.

Completely agree. I'm guessing they thought it would be more "realistic' to have Batman's voice disguised with a modulator than to use a deeper voice ala Bale. In the end I thought it was pretty muffled and yes robotic like in its presentation. Affleck got a free pass on that for reasons that escape me.

 

[JackWhite]

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the voice modulator for Batfleck. Bruce is suppose to completely lose himself while in the suit, which means changing his voice himself. Not with some damn pitch-box.

Black Panther’s Wakanda Was Inspired By The Dark Knight’s Gotham

When asked about Wakanda’s real-world commentary on immigration and providing refuge for the impoverished, Coogler told Empire in a recent interview that it was something that they wanted to do because they wanted Wakanda to feel like it existed in the real world, which was partly inspired by Gotham City in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.

“…I remember watching The Dark Knight and the film having commentary on privacy, commentary on terrorism. And that was all stuff that felt like it was of the now, so it made Gotham City feel like it was somewhere in the States. So I wanted Wakanda to feel like it was of the world. And with Daniel Kaluuya’s character [W’Kabi] is talking about is, I feel like it’s a conversation Wakandans would have if Wakanda was real. One rule we had was we didn’t want any dummies in this movie. Everybody in this movie had – wherever they stood on in terms of where they thought Wakanda should go, they should be able to articulate their point.”

What? Nolan's TDK Gotham is so bland. It's just Chicago. #NotmyGotham

Seriously that's great. Add BP to the list of great movies inspired in some way by TDK.

Take it from a cosplayer like me: the modulator works better when speaking to people, lol

So you enjoyed it ehhh?

 

[StarLord]

The Cult of Zaddy continues their nonstop social media assault because Snyder liked a post about Whedon leaving Batgirl.

These creepy fans actually make my stomach turn. I wouldn't be surprised if some are on this forum.

 

[I Am The Knight]

I pity them.
