Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Noooooooooooo! Suicide Squad gets a PG-13. And here I was hoping for an R rated movie! There's exactly a 0% chance that any of the main interconnected DCU movies will be rated R.Who cares about a stupid letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The tenuously connected films of the 70s, 80s and 90s DC universe. Probably until 2006 because Superman Returns was the last film linked with the older movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they're not, because they're not realistic and relatable enough.And now it comes full circle. I didn't coin the "more realistic and relatable" phrase. I first saw it frequently used to describe Batman Begins at IMDb boards not long after it was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,351 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Didn't you understand why BB was a more realistic depiction of Batman, Drax? It surely did its best to 'demythicize' the character. Did that make it more relatable? Nope. That being said, I like BB. I also like BB, but that's a TV show. However, I was never a fan of BB, the French screen goddess.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 No good villains in Batman Begins and it ends horribly with a stupid "stop a thing from blowing up" CGI'd scene. Oh, wait. I guess they all end like that. I think it was more Bruce Wayne/Batman-centric than any Batman film to date, though. I remember I found that neat. I stopped caring for the film once he actually became Batman. The Katie Holmes girlfriend was lame. I didn't care for her character in the sequel, either, or Bruce's weird obsession with her AKA stalking her and Harvey at the restaurant, taking all the dancers and then crying to Alfred. They also made Superman into a creepy stalker in Superman Returns. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,351 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 No good villains in Batman Begins Of course there's a good evil man in BB, unless you find Batman vs his mentor not interesting.

A24 4,351 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 That's because Nolan still wanted Gotham City to look somewhat different from our cities. Also, like Koray said, he wanted BB to be made using old school FX techniques as much as possible. Is that weird? Well, maybe to the new generation it is.

The second movie expands the city based on the scale of the story. Ah, TGP meant the changing itself is dreamy and surreal, not the city. It doesn't strike me as such. It was more like Nolan was still searching and changing his mind about the look of Gotham City. It started off grungy and comic book-ish but he went for actual cities in the sequels to place Batman in our real, existing universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 It was a bit disappointing in TDKR to have more of the "outside world" brought in. Sure it lent a sweeping feeling to things, but I enjoyed the earlier feeling that Gotham was all there was, this isolated, mythic place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. A. Ron 1,744 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I never got that feeling in the previous films. Maybe it was because of the extended Bhutan sequences in the first film. It could also have been the action sequence in Hong Kong in The Dark Knight that did it. Somehow I never felt that the whole story was in Gotham. Ever.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Not that the *whole* story was in Gotham, that's not at all what I said. But I understand that it's fun to exaggerate what other people say to make a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. A. Ron 1,744 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Yeah whatever. My point was that I don't feel more of the outside world was brought in. Sure the film had a greater sense of scope, but all three were very internationally minded compared to their bat-predecessors. Now if what you're saying is you'd prefer the smaller, more personal feel of the first two films, well, I think I would too, though I won't mind if they do something different with BVS.
