“Attention citizens of metropolis, I am your overlord. If you do not hand over Lex luthor, I will blow up your city. If you do hand him over, your lives will be spared”
I’m assuming this is Braniac?
@ByronLafayette@ValliantRenegad@AxelTalksFilm Toys and merch? Unlikely. But profit beyond purely theatrical has always been incorporated.
The Batman. Its 177m profit here was not calculated using just theatrical revenues. And yet this is the figure thats parroted. It’s not different for these other movies somehow.
@ShinyStallion9 Absolutely but the part about Bruce being a bad person some people took literally.
“Nooo, Bruce is good” but why wouldn’t he be hard on himself compared to Superman?
«He sees the good in everyone and I see the truth »
Another line that makes Superman sound naïve, bland, and stupid
Clark knows exactly how cruel the world can be, and he refuses to become part of that cruelty and want to change things
He sees the truth
I think you both missed the point about whether or not Battinson looks like he could exist in real life.
Because these look cool but are blatant movie sets and movie costumes.
Battinson looks real because he was designed to look so.
((No offense to the Reevesverse but ain't nothing gonna come close to Schumacher era Batman set photos in terms of Batman feeling like a real person, lmfao.
@FkMySmPnsLife I’ve noticed the goalpost has shifted from “he would never joke about Batman like that” being that the inconsistent application of jokes is the misogyny, to making a joke at Catwoman’s expense period is misogyny and that it doesn’t matter if Batman also gets flack.
@gunmilk20@celluloidnblood@HeylKatme@MetaReflexive Not in a context that wouldn’t make sense. The more interesting explanation is that he never even assumed Superman had a secret identity at all, but if he were presented with the evidence in such a manner it would just be character assassination to make him ignore it.
You start to realize that Gunn is *way* more interested and invested in Lex Luthor as a character than Superman, and that lopsided effort is why Superman 2025 is so weak in crafting a compelling version of the titular character
