Batman v Superman Show Notes

Batman v Superman still made a ton of money in its first weekend, $166 million domestic, $254 overseas.
Where is Justice League headed?
Eisenberg’s Luthor–should he be in any more DC movies?
Do we trust Superman?
Do we care what happens to any of the characters?
Are we confident in Batman?
Where’s the fun?
Intro to Justice League–Flash and Wonder Woman were good but Aquaman and Cyborg sequences sucked.
Iron Man made us want a BIGGER movie so we got Avengers. It got too serious so we got Ant-Man. It got too supernatural so we got Captain America: Civil War that brought it down to earth. We’re not getting that with DC movies–they’re disjointed.
Christopher Reeve = HOPE. Michael Keaton = Confidence. Christian Bale = Utility (getting the job done). I’m not feeling these emotions with Batman v Superman.
When was the last good, solid, universally-accepted DC movie?
What will the 3-hour R-rate version bring?
Darkseid in the new “Communion” video?

Donate

If you enjoyed this podcast and want to donate to a good cause, please consider sending a PayPal gift of any amount to Making Biscuits Cat Rescue. Even if you donate JUST ONE DOLLAR, that dollar will buy a can of food that a rescuer can feed a stray cat, or help get the cat in a humane trap so it can be taken to a low-cost shelter to be checked out medically and spayed/neutered. Just one dollar will help prevent unnecessary kittens being born and help with overpopulation. If you give just one dollar, you’ll feel good about yourself. Promise.
