Exactly you hit the nail on the head, I like BvS though the contrast between Batman and Superman was not visible enough in look, actions or philosophies.
I do like my DC art recently got a framed set of six Justice League character images from the upcoming film, I have a few steel DC plaques also I often try to get hold of steel plaques. The above WW poster is striking in High Definition.
Saw that on fb yesterday very apt
Won't be too hard to surpass TDKR, either.
It completely fell apart for me in the last third.
Not perfect by any means, and somewhat bloated. Still, I admire the ambition and the story resonates.
It was clear that Heath's death left the team in a rough spot as to where the films would go next, and it shows. I really dislike how they wrote Bruce as a man who just gave up, and other issues mount up after that. I still enjoy it thoroughly, for scenes like Bruce's crawl out of the pit, but it's quite obviously the weakest of the trilogy in every area that matters to me.
It's just one of those things where you have to rank a series of films and one has to go last. I love every film of the Craig era, but I'd probably have to put SP at the bottom, despite my enjoyment of all the films, and the same with YOLT for Connery's era. So nothing against TDKR.
I would really be interested to know where the last film would've gone if Heath had lived, however, as I think he would've come back in some capacity later on. Christ did we miss out if that were the case.
For me, TDKR and BB are the ones that I really gravitate to because they are Wayne/Bat centric and give Bale an opportunity to shine (he's one of the primary reasons I love the Nolan series so much). TDK is more about the Joker and Dent from my standpoint and therefore I almost view it as a standalone.
Similar (but not quite the same) to GF in comparison to the Young entries in the Bond world.
And that death scene. Oh, that death scene. *shivers*
You really do get a sense of scale regarding the city, the IMAX shots are phenomenal.
Batman Begins
TDKR

Is my Ranking though love all three films.
I love when Blu-rays switch aspect ratios during IMAX scenes. I believe at least 3 of Nolan's films do this. I was really disappointed when I learned BvS wouldn't.
@bondjames, if you're going through a rough time and are punishing yourself just to feel something, we're all here to talk. ;)
I LOVE both of those movies!
I swear, one day BvS will get the recognition it deserves.
I have to say I don't like this iteration of Batman at all. It doesn't get better with more viewings. Not only is he too bulky (a brute), but his behaviour is uncharacteristic of the caped crusader, as has been discussed many times. Moreover, he just doesn't belong in this overstylized, unrealistic environment with Kryptonian larger than life characters. He's too 'real' as a character for this universe.
Supes has potential, but he needs to be inserted into a more uplifting setting next time around, which seems unlikely any time soon. It's ok to smile once in a while Superman.
There's so much going on in this film that it's still overwhelming for me to take it all in, even on this, my third viewing. The narrative is unnecessarily complex and overwrought. I have to credit Snyder with keeping all the pieces up in the air. It's just that he's juggling so much that he inevitably leaves one with a half baked feeling.
It's tough work using one film to try to build an entire universe, but it was an ambitious attempt.
That's my main criticism. The plot is just so unnecessarily convoluted. There were definitely simpler ways to tell a Batman vs Supes story in this cinematic universe.
Whether or not it deserves more recognition... I don't know, but I also don't think it deserves the hate it gets. Perhaps the stigma behind the film will fade some day.
Anyway, has anyone played Injustice 2 yet? I haven't, and I don't imagine I will until it goes on sale sometime down the road, but I did watch all the cut scenes on Youtube. If you have the time and want to watch what amounts to a really cool DC film, watch this:
I did! I preordered the Ultimate Edition because I'm a huge sucker for steelbooks, lol.
It's very fun and insanely customizable! You earn costume pieces that not only change your appearance, but can give you different abilities! On top of that, you can change everyone's color scheme. The days of jumping, punching and special moves are over- there's a lot more strategy behind it.
The only negative is that you start with nothing, looking plain as hell, and grinding points for unlockables couldbe faster...
But overall it's a great game!
