I don't know why, but it annoys me that the new Batman is called 'The Batman'.
"One of The Batmen"

i know comic book nerds fucking love it
but
the multiverse thing is fucking stupid. And seems like a convenient way for companies to make money without having to come up with ongoing stories.
Elseworld stories have been part of fiction for 60 years.
For comics, it lets you lose from being constrained by "canon" and tell a different story. After a few decades can be a bit of a nightmare to keep track of everything Batman is supposed to have done.
I'm just pleased it wasn't another origin story.

Another comic book nod. I like it as he doesn' call himself "Batman", other characters refer to him as the bat man, because he's dressed like a freak.

A Batman doesn't have the same ring.

Yeah I am sure there is a reason for it, but as someone who has never seen a Batman movie let alone read a comic I am completely ignorant on the subject. I guess I am used to it just being Batman and anything else sounds weird to me.

I firmly believe that was a huge part in the current spiderman films being successful, if people had had to see yet another careless teenager get bitten by a radio active spider and yet another uncle ben die within recent memory...i just dont think it would have kicked off
@Crazy-Horse you've never seen one of the 9-10 batman (or movies with batman in it) that have been made in the last 30 years?
-
@kiwiwomble nope I don't tend to watch superhero things. The last I saw was Superman back in the 80s.
Same with Marvel. The Punisher and Jessica Jones on Netflix is all I have seen.
-
@crazy-horse fair play, i can be a real nerd and i would say there are lots of super hero films that aren't great...but also several that are very good, did you enjoy the punisher and jessica jones? did you watch daredevil? i think thats supposed to be the best of those marvel tv shoes
-
@kiwiwomble yeah I did enjoy them.

I hate to break it to you, that is a VHS tape, not a blu ray. It won't fit in your Xbox or blu ray player

Sudden Impact
Clint, you’re my boy, my icon…..a legend of the screen….
But the ONLY reason this gets a pass mark is cos of the “Go ahead, Make my Day” line which comes pretty early in the piece.
The music score is fucken awful, isn’t it funny how 80s music dates so much worse than that from the 70s ?
The setup is absurd and Clint ends up taking care of a bulldog that farts.
Jesus.
He does kick a bit of arse at times and my heart of heart can’t give him a fail……
