You see it in cable shows as well. Not everyone can be Game of Thrones. I wish so many weren't trying.northierthanthouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04831362921459744537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-13157637353672161572016-03-24T02:28:16.970-04:002016-03-24T02:28:16.970-04:00I'm eager to see it.

It's not ideal, but we take what we can get sometmes. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-11993959192497645072016-03-24T01:34:01.023-04:002016-03-24T01:34:01.023-04:00I saw it on Monday night (advanced screening.) If ...I saw it on Monday night (advanced screening.) If you saw it, you would hate it. A lot of people will hate it, both comic purists and non-comic knowledgeable viewers. I didn't hate it, in fact I enjoyed it, but I just take it as one interpretation in a world full of interpretations. A multiverse if you will. <br /><br />That said, I am getting a bit sick of the godlike status of Frank Miller. He written, what, four Batman stories in the 77 years of Batman's history. Hey Batman scripts writers, there have been at least one or two (maybe three or a flippin hundred) other people who have written Batman stories. Look 'em up!<br /><br />My only real concern about the film is that it lacked accessibility to the common viewer. That's it's biggest sin.<br /><br />That said, Wonder Woman's thread was strong and hopeful, and left me wanting more. So there is a bright point.Bubbashelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304403353153855498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-74885397913084073682016-03-23T22:15:23.291-04:002016-03-23T22:15:23.291-04:00I agree with you.

But even if the movie flops Hollywood won't understand. They probably would think it just means we don't want Ben Affleck as Batman and just recast his part in the next movie.Rick L.

But it's not the characters I grew up loving. Somewhere along the line, comics started substituting power fantasies for imagination. All I want is a Bottle City of Kandor, but what we get nowadays is crippled Barbara Gordon.Craven Lovelacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925356306618506246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-86191343296172752172016-03-23T19:04:55.689-04:002016-03-23T19:04:55.689-04:00Here, here, Steven.
