1 Batman and Superman are finally meeting face to face and fist to fist. I remember mentioning, What if he fights Batman? And once you say Batman out loud, you cant put it back. Clay Enos You cant go, you know, Thats a good idea. But you know whatd be cooler…? The rest of the world does, too. Warner Bros 3 Dawn of Justicereboots the Batman story, but it’s not starting from the beginning....
‘Is it too late to demand a rematch?’ As these things go, its hard to imagine a bigger event. Dawn of Justiceis big, all right. If its just size youre after, you wont be disappointed. But at this point in Hollywoods superhero cycle, is that really enough? Snyder has built his career on the supposition that it is. And this one does too. His innate air of cockiness syncs up perfectly with Waynes spoiled playboy-scion persona....
Batman is angrier than ever. And Superman is starting to lose his mild manners, too. Fans who were outraged by the loss of life in that earlier movie have a new ally: Batman. Credit: Clay Enos Hes furious about it, too. [Supermans] weakness is that he doesnt want to hurt anyone, says Cavill. He doesnt want to scare anyone, and inthatyou can take advantage of him. Clay Enos Even before she brandishes a sword and her golden lasso, Wonder Womans secret identity is pretty badass....
The task for Zimmer and Junkie XL, a.k.a. Tom Holkenborg, was to do something new while also doing justice to the characters rich histories. It comes with a certain responsibility because these characters are iconic, Holkenborg says. Credit: Todd Williamson/Invision for W Hotels Worldwide/AP Images So many people grew up with the original comics or with the first movies or the TV series. The real key, Zimmer says, was to make the music personal....
But thats actually the truth about Clark Kents heroic alter ego in the new DC cinematic universe. I think thats a very human weakness to have. For me, when it came on to Supermans weakness, its inside him. Credit: Clay Enos Its the fact that he does really love humans. Not only is he bulletproof, but he can withstand a lot of cruel treatment from us. Thats his weakness, that he doesnt want to hurt anyone....
But there are some more subtle differences as well. According to Cavill, theMan of Steelversion of the super-suit required 1520 minutes to change in and out of. Thats no good, Meyers agreed. Credit: Lloyd Bishop/NBC This is a guy whos supposed to go into a phone booth and just come out wearing it. This isnt the first time Meyers has discussedthe difficulties of peeing in a costumewith a guest. But thats not all he and Cavill discussed....
The truth is: Yes, Jimmy Olsen is in the movie. But hes not identified by name and he makes a rather hasty exit early in the story. Its not a blink-and-youll-miss-it part, but … the appearance might cause viewers to flinch. Credit: DC Comics He gets shot in the head and dies in front of a horrified Lane. But it turns out that Jimmy Olsen is a spook for the CIA....
Batman is a lot of things: superhero, anti-hero, detective, scientist, billionaire. One thing he isnt, according to voice actorKevin Conroy, is a killer. He doesnt cross that line. Credit: Warner Bros. Animation; Clay Enos Batman is not a killer. This was not the case with Ben Afflecks iteration. Its a brilliant idea. But the fact that Batman never kills anyone I loved that fact. I liked Michael Keaton and I like what Ben Affleck is doing with it now....
Its also an attempt to merge the two longest-running franchises in superhero-movie history. The firstSupermanarrived in theaters almost four decades ago, in 1978; Tim BurtonsBatmancame eleven years later. (Thats not counting sundry movie serials featuring the characters decades earlier.) Credit: David James; Everett Collection Then we look back at our respective favorite films featuring Batman and Superman. Spoiler alert: Yes,Dark Knightis discussed. Double spoiler alert: One of us thinksBatman Returns>The Dark Knight....
Unclear if Nolan actually said ‘Yes’ Zack Snyder isnt afraid of controversy. His second movie was an adaptation of a terrible graphic novel by famously cantankerous comic book legend Frank Miller. His third movie was an adaptation of a brilliant graphic novel by equally cantankerous comic book legend Alan Moore. Credit: Clay Enos His fourth movie had the words owls and GaHoole in the title. According to Snyder, he laid it out for Nolan very simply....
‘He’s suffered a lot of devastating losses’ Batman isnt the loquacious punch in. And for the longest time, Ben Affleck stayed silent about playing him, too. He did no interviews. Credit: Warner Bros. Appeared nowhere to discuss the character. Haters had a field day, while supporters had little backup to defend the choice. The idea was: Let the fans wait and see. BEN AFFLECK:Initially I took the idea of doing Batman in the abstract....
Entertainment Geekly: The best part was when the buildings fell down. Difficult to talk about superhero movies just now. The bigger issue, I think: No one is willing to define the terms of our debate. Should a superhero movie function independent of source material, or honor it? Does it matter if Supermanbarely speaksin a Superman movie? Does it matter if a decent movie calledCaptain Americabarely has time for Captain America?...
