[quote="Old_Man_Tai":2q06yw9z]I remember Liam Neeson quite well.

@Deus: Yes, and it was pretty awesome. Possibly the best animated Batman film after Mask of the Phantasm and Under the Red Hood and one of the 5 best DC Animated films in my opinion.

Fixed that for ya. ;P

Clooney was a terrible Batman but he was a good Bruce Wayne (given that he pretty much IS real life Bruce Wayne >_>). Ditto that for Bale. Bale was a good Bruce but horrible in the suit. The second two Dark Knight movies were entirely saved by the strong villians in the films.

Patrick Warburton for next Batman movie.

[quote="hamish1024":2n9a8mjz]Most Batman films are remembered on the strength of their villains - I think Batman Begins is the only film that really depends on the strength of the Bruce Wayne character (and Bale's performance). The last two films were successful because of their engaging antagonists that played with wider themes.

However, no-one quite knows what the narrative set-up is going to be - likely some kind of Batman / Superman / Lex Luthor three-way? If there is a problem, it is less likely to be with Affleck, and more likely to be with working out just exactly what the Batman character is supposed to acheive in what is primarily a Superman film.

And I think they need to pass the Dark Knight mantle onto Gordon-Levitt as well. Man, doing all this stuff, whilst still having time for all the unnecessary Zack Snyder explosions? Affleck probably won't even get that much screen time.

I agree with Gordon-Levitt as Batman or at least a Nightwing movie with him. And I don't want to see Lex Luthor yet again(maybe in a role similar to Batman), I'd rather see a villain like General Zod for Superman, he can beat up the self proclaimed common man any day^^. Maybe Doomsday but would also settle for Bizarro, Darkseid or Metallo.

Brainiac?

by Alexandra Mon Aug 26, 2013 9:23 pm

Zod's already been done.

Doomsday and Darkseid are too much, they'd have to do a series of movies leading up to them so the entire Justice League can take part.

Brainiac would be good, particularly if they use a version of Superman TAS's origin for him. So would Metallo, if they run with the idea of Luthor creating him.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they had lex in the movie in a background sort of way. Like, as a minor character doing normal business crap while the real stuff is going on. Maybe set something up with an after credits scene

They had a small cameo for Lexcorp in the movie. Some of the trucks that got smashed in the fights had Lexcorp logos. It's not Lex being in the movies, but it was something.

I saw the second Hobbit movie yesterday.

Never, ever have I had such a mixed opinion on a movie before. I'm still not sure if I eve liked it or not. ?_?

And the first one was so hype too.

By the way i know this is late but Elysium was so preachy it was uncomfortable. When it wasn't trying to make social or political commentary it was pretty good. Felt really cyberpunky.
