I thought it was good apart from the Flash. Might be because I am watching the flash tv series and am used to seeing Grant Gustin. I just didn't like Miller and thought he was annoying rather than funny.

Afleck is growing on me. Hated the idea of him being Batman but wasn't bad.

Wonder Woman is amazing, her film is the best DC film I've seen. I watched it in 3D and loved it. She was good in Justice League.

Aquaman didn't really do much but did have one funny moment. He's getting his own film so maybe that will make me like him a bit more.

The after credits made me happy. Won't spoil anything but it was one of my favourite DC characters.

It's had some pretty bad reviews I think but I didn't think it was that bad.

Nothing could be as bad as that s***ty suicide squad anyway. That's the worst DC film I've seen!

I particularly hated the fact it had less viewers than Constantine, but got renewed where as the far superior series got canned.

DC Movies seem to lack the capacity though to create superhero movies / comic book movies that can compare to the Disney ones. Maybe they should look to what DC did in the 90s in the comic book decline, and go with the Vertigo titles if they want to make darker more adult/serious movies.

I means seriously, how can we have a Flash TV series but not a Sandman or Swamp Thing? Preacher seems to have done very well for AMC, iZombie is going into season 4 and Lucifer is pulling in big audience.

Drop the whole Justice League thing - Its never been that popular. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman can stand alone - it never made sense for them to be a team in the way the Avengers are.

Transmetropolitan and 100 Bullets are just begging to be TV series.

Thoroughly enjoyed Wonder Woman, but have avoided Suicide Squad, Batman vs. Superman and doubt that I'll watch Justice League.

I just got around to watching Spider-Man: Homecoming, and it's excellent. The last thing I thought Spider-Man needed was yet another reboot, but this was more of a re-introduction as they skipped the origin story altogether (thank God). A fantastic balance of action and humour; something that Marvel gets right most of the time and DC gets wrong almost every time.

With Black Panther, Infinity Wars Pt. 1 and Ant-Man 2 coming out in 2018, it could be a banner year for Marvel. Meanwhile, DC has just a solo Aquaman outing in 2018, which is pretty weak especially as it doesn't release until December.

Meanwhile, Season 5 of Agents of SHIELD just debuted over here, and it seems to be a rip off of multiple Sci-Fi staples, most notably Battlestar Galactica (the update, not the original).

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Watchmen wasn't a bad film adaptation I thought.

Sin City also managed to recreate a comicesque feel.

it's hard to go from a real world situation, to then men in tights who fly - the tone needs to be accommodating from the start, which marvel seem to have handled well.

This was once a quality forum....

What Snyder did, is he went too deep 'how would the world react to a super man' and made it almost mythical/legendary, god like situation - it's basically like he was asked - what the world be like with a flying hero and he submitted this amazing thesis that stripped down the human condition etc where as Marvel looked at it with almost child like wonder 'it would be great and cool' and went with it. Whilst DC have I guess, a more real world look, it almost comes off as depressing. Sure, we know an alien operating out of the usa would create hysteria and conflict, but to we need to focus on that aspect.

also, I feel burton created this fantasy world that allowed a batman to exist, witht he elements of mystery.

Nolan created a character that worked in a world we can relate to, I wish MOS was in that world - I wish night wing was the next hero and that opened the door to Bale reprising it one more time in the future.
