The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 6

[Tacit Ronin]

I didn't like the cave. Too small. It was more like a basement.

 

[shauner111]

I liked the look of it but yeah, definitely too small.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I like the look of the cave, for a cottage.

Agree or disagree with this list?

 

[Slade W]

Without giving it much thought, I would say what he did to Superman and Metropolis should be number 1. What he did to Harley shouldn't be ahead of it IMO. Him killing kids in TDKR should be in there too IMO and high up the list. Him and Batman had a battle to the death in Endgame and that should be in there as well, I feel. What he did with Essen and the babies should be higher too IMO. I also feel that Harleys position is too high.

 

[The Joker]

I wouldn't have Death of the Family on the list at all since he didn't really do anything noteworthy. Tricking the Batfamily into thinking he cut off their faces when he really had not is not even a contender for the most evil things he's done.

 

[Slade W]

Agreed. I wouldn't have him having his face cut off in there either.

 

[The Joker]

That too. Self harming himself is hardly evil. Nobody is going to feel sympathy for him. If it was a list for the most crazy things he's done, that would be a worthy entry.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Hopefully we see more of the cave in the Batman.

While I like the look of the cave for the most part, it could've been a little more grandiose in my opinion.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Let us relive the original TDK December trailer.

I legit watched this over a hundred times back in the day. Chills.

 

[Slade W]

This should have made the list and been placed high as far as I am concerned.

 

[The Joker]

Let us relive the original TDK December trailer.

December 2007. Magical times. That trailer still gives me goosebumps.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Remember Snow-King snowblowers?

In your opinion though right?

The bootleg of that trailer leaking was probably the highlight for me. You hardly see them nowadays, but there's something really special about watching a bootleg of a trailer for the first time like that. You can feel the energy in the room. It was the first time anyone saw Ledger's Joker in motion. He looked possessed. Still does.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I remember the guy at the end saying 'wow'.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

December 2007. Magical times. That trailer still gives me goosebumps.

I remember being in 6th grade and freaking out about this with my buddy. Simpler times.

 

[Brother Jack]

That is, by the way, still one of the best trailers I've ever seen. Perfectly edited. Gives a sense of tone, stakes, and character without really giving away any of the story.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Still the best comic book movie trailer ever. The Watchmen trailer comes in second.

RICHARD NEWBY’S TOP 10 FILMS OF 2016

8. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice-Ultimate Edition

There’s nothing gentle about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Zack Snyder’s film is one that refuses to tone down its lofty thematics and refuses to play its absurd moments for winks. It takes fan and non-fan alike and hurls them head first into what comic books actually are: a collision of the facts and ideas that make up the very bones of storytelling, and the inherent but rarely acknowledged silliness that comes from watching grown men in costumes face pseudo-science and existential identity crises. In Batman v Superman, everything here is presented on a ceremonial pedestal, and why shouldn’t it be when comic book adaptations dominate our news, social media, and pop-cultural atmosphere? Batman v Superman, offers an introspective look at some of the world’s most popular characters, making them matter in today’s socio-political climate, and making them feel like actual human beings with hopes, flaws, and existential considerations. This is The Last Temptation of Christ by way of DC Comics. This is a comic book movie by a director who refuses to just aim for “fun” and be done. Snyder makes it clear that if these heroes and villains are to matter, if they’re going to fill up our news feeds and studio release slates, then they’ve got to be challenged. They’ve got to be retrofitted within the context of a world where guns are problematic symbols of power, immigrants are feared and hated, and the media does make monsters for ratings. Snyder doesn’t change these characters; he simply understands comic book history better than most directors (and most viewers), and chose which elements would mean the most in our currently shifting world. The film leaves us on a note of hope and inspiration, something that had to be worked for, thought about, and earned the hard way by the heroes central to the film. No, Batman v Superman may not be gentle but in its invitation to work through it, to think about it beyond the theater doors and echo-chamber of social media, it provides one of the most satisfying experiences of the year, and hope for the future of the comic book movie.

The only hope the ending left me with was "oh god, I hope this one is the last cut." But no, it kept going and going and going.

Him killing kids in TDKR should be in there too IMO and high up the list. Him and Batman had a battle to the death in Endgame and that should be in there as well, I feel.

I agree with this post.

 

[Slade W]

In your opinion though right?

I did say IMO a lot there, didn't I? Or at least, it was a lot IMO .

I can't figure out Lex Luthor.

He expected Superman to kill Batman (he says something like "one Bathead short"). So he is smart enough to control Bruce Wayne's emotions and prejudices to the point of confronting Superman with the intention to ******* kill, but thought the Bat wouldn't/couldn't kill him?

That must mean he also knew that Batman would suddenly become friends with Superman after realizing both of their mothers are Martha? So he figured that Superman would call his mother by name right before he was impaled. He also calculated that Lois Lane would be there to clarify things to Batman.

This is beyond genius level intellect. This is a Godly sort of omnipresence.

So he calculated that Superman/Batman would kiss and make up and come for his skinny ass. Hence why he created Doomsday, right?

Did he also plan for his death? Because Doomsday almost punched his organs out. Don't tell me omni-intelligent Lex Luthor simply didn't plan for Doomsday to take a shot at him.

He must've known that Doomsday would be killed right? So why didn't he plan for his escape?

So his plan was for Superman to save him from Doomsday killing him and then going to prison?

I think I understand now. He has a phobia of getting a haircut from a barber so this was all an elaborate ruse by supersmart Luthor to manipulate DC's greatest heroes to put him in prison and finally shed that fur.

He isn't difficult to understand. Not by a longshot.
He had a backup plan.
If Superman didn't kill batman. Simple......Its Doomsday.

You say he calulated that Batman and Superman would "kiss and make up".
Don't try and make BvS dumber then you are trying to make it out to be because it isn't.. Lex. just had a back up plan. Nothing crazy.
Again... somebody makes fun of the Martha moment because they can't comprehend it. Geoff Johns thinks it's an awesome revelation but what does he know.
Let didn't calculate their mothers name or Lois.
That's just how it played out.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

This never gets old.



Especially the 'MARTHA' bit.
