Sarcastic title jokes aside, I'm really looking forward to the next several years of superhero flicks. This is such a fun time to be a comics/movie fan. I love the Marvel Studios MCU movies, I really liked Man of Steel, and everything we've seen from BvS looks promising. I love that there are two huge studios trying to outdo each other (or really, one trying to catch up with the other) because it means more awesome movies for everyone. It's a blast.

I agree on a general principle kind of level, but I get such a hopeless feeling for the world with the DC movies. And they completely lack any sense of fun or humor. Fucking bleak, and that's weird because DC comics have always had a reputation as being lighter in overall tone of the 2 major publishers.

Some potential tidbits about Superman/Batman.
The part about the torn Robin suit in the Batcave intrigues me. And it better be a real fucking Batcave this time too.

I love that Marvel and DC played chicken with the release date and DC fuckin' blinked. Pussies. I would have loved to see them go head to head though.

As interesting as that would've been, I feel like it would have lead to actual fanboy riots in the theaters. DC just saved a lot of nerd lives.

It'll still make bajillions no matter what. But they really would have gotten their boring asses jackhammered if they tried to play with the king of the mountain right now.

DC Comics are now as violent as Preacher was in the 90s. The #1 issue of one of the New 52 Batman comics had a severed face nailed to a wall on one of the first pages. I've read plenty of violent comics in my life, but seeing something like that in a mainstream Batman book was really weird.

Don't forget about the gratuitous sex scenes and nudity. You know because we need to see Batman and Catwoman fucking on top of a building for no reason. Then of course there's this memorable and super important character that I have neither seen nor heard of since the first trade of the David Finch Batman series. Seriously I thought we got past this kinda shit in the 90s.

That is hilarious. I'm still ticked that The Pete Holmes Show got canned. Dude's hilarious.
As for the White Rabbit shenanigans the character served no purpose in that story other than wearing practically nothing. I normally have no problem with all that unless it's just thrown in there for absolutely no reason. Especially when she hasn't even been mentioned since (as far as I know). If someone were to edit every trace of her from that story it wouldn't change a goddamn thing.
And I think the Bat/Cat sexy time has been yelled about enough so I'll leave it at that.

Seriously I thought we got past this kinda shit in the 90s. She was in Forevil Evil. Just as a background character, but still. I'm sure she'll be back the next time Scarecrow or Bane are the main focus of another arc. Also...DC doesn't do nudity. As for the White Rabbit shenanigans the character served no purpose in that story other than wearing practically nothing. I normally have no problem with all that unless it's just thrown in there for absolutely no reason. Especially when she hasn't even been mentioned since (as far as I know). If someone were to edit every trace of her from that story it wouldn't change a goddamn thing. She served a bigger purpose than Two-Face has so far in the New 52...

Wow that's bullshit. And it's one of the only two Batman stories I've read since all the New 52 shit started which is way I said "as far as I know." For all I know Killer Moth is the main villain now. Or King Tut. I've pretty much given up on comics.

To be fair, for that storyline, I was only entertained by it because I was doing an out loud reading. Especially for Bane.

If that doesn't scream "there's only 1 flamboyant billionaire playboy in this gritty, dark universe where people meaninglessly commit suicide by tornado" like every Batmobile ever, I just don't know what does.
Shit like that just makes me want a Megaforce remake that's less gay but even more ridiculous.

It reminds me a lot of the Batmobile from the next Arkham game.

I hope they don't over-explain every little part of Batman's costume and car again. It was cool in Begins because I'd never seen anyone take the approach of "the pointy ears are are for housing directional microphones, and the car is an unused military prototype", but since this one is in a universe with Superman and Wonder Woman they should use the angle that Batman has a crazy car because he's Batman.

Apparently one of these was stolen. Maybe shooting in Detroit wasn't such a great idea after all.

Only Batman would know to include piccolos in his utility belt.
