The Super Thread - All Things Marvel/DC/Etc

[gaporter]

Just got out of The Batman and holy shiiiiiiit. One of the best superhero movies (and maybe just movies in general) I've seen in a very long time. Loved it.

I forget, did you enjoy the Scott Snyder DC movies? I do not, but I am fond of the Christopher Nolan films. Is it closer to the former or the latter?

This new one is definitely more akin to Nolan than Snyder, I'd say. I don't despise Snyder as much as others, but I'm also not a huge fan of his interpretation of Batman.

This makes me very happy to read. I know for sure I will not be seeing it in theatres but I'm looking even more forward to it now than I was 10 minutes ago (which was already more excited than I ever expected to be about this one!)

The main actress in this trailer looks like she's having fun, and that's great, but man, this just looks so much like things we've already seen from the MCU. It's ridiculous that Marvel/Disney has so much money at their disposal but rely on the same type of visual effects for so many of their heroes' powers. I in no way mean to diminish the efforts of the multiple effects artists I'm sure worked hard on this, it's not their fault. I just wish the MCU had some incentive to push itself in a more creative direction.

DMZ was great!

I actually had and loved a lot of Brian Woods' stuff but stopped really following his stuff some time ago.

Same. I really enjoyed The Massive, Northlander, and his run on Conan The Barbarian but haven’t read anything of his recently.

Oh nice, I haven't thought about DMZ for years. I really liked the graphic side of DMZ and The Massive, I adopted a similar style for some early uni work years ago now. Going to have to dig out my old paperbacks now to refresh myself.

Spoiler: Potential spoiler for The Batman

Interesting scene, but not really sad it didn't make it to the final cut. Kinda just spells out the movie's themes, which were already pretty obvious enough. Big fan of Batman and Joker already having a relationship in this version though.

Has anyone watched the first episode of Moon Knight?

Its certainly got me intrigued to see where they take the series.

Not yet. But it’s an excellent character and Oscar Issac is a top notch actor. I am looking forward to it.

I used to watch the Marvel shows at midnight when they dropped but I just can't stay up that late anymore, which is probably healthy but makes me a bit sad!

I'll be watching it tonight when my wife goes to bed.

I really hope the rest of Moon Knight is as good as that first episode. Easily one of my favorite things to come out of the MCU in a long time.

Yeah, that was all kinds of awesome!

Here Are The ‘Morbius’ Vulture Post-Credits Scenes So You Don’t Have To Watch ‘Morbius’

Morbius has arrived and is currently sitting as one of the worst-reviewed superhero movies…ever. That means you may not want to actually see Morbius, but you may be curious about how it relates to Sony’s plans to build out the “Venomverse” and how it relates to MCU characters like Vulture.

I’ve watched all the Disney+ Marvel series so I know the chances of Moon Knight ending as handsomely as it’s starting are about .0000001% BUT hot dang if that wasn’t a fun first episode with a stellar pair of actors playing the hero/villain.
