Zack Snyder's Justice League - Official Trailer

[Morrus]

I don't really have a dog in the fight over Superman. Haven't read his comics, the most Superman content I consumed was watching Lois and Clark as a kid. I have no memory of Superman Returns, I fell asleep watching it. Man of Steel was just as uninspiring, it was such a dour and joyless movie.

@Snarf Zagyg see?

Looking forward to seeing Martian Manhunter in this one, too. Though it's just a short bit.

Maybe tossing in some Booster Gold and Blue Beetle will change my opinion of the Snyder Verse?

A Reyes BB is reportedly in the works.

It's a weird thing.

On the one hand, Zach Snyder (and his DC Films) is often held-up as a sort of "gold standard" of easy internet mockability.

On the other hand, Zach Snyder (and his DC Films) have such a vocal internet fan base, that they managed to make a major studio pay tens of millions of dollars so that Snyder could re-shoot and re-cut and make a 4 hour version of a movie.

I dunno. All I know is I'm not allowed to have a public conversation about liking MoS without being shouted down about how it's apparently the worst thing that ever existed. It's quite unpleasant.

OTOOH - HBO Max costs $15 a month. JL made about $230 million domestic. So even being conservative, that's about 15 million tickets sold.

Being even more conservative, let's say that JLSC gets 5 million new subs for WB, that's $75 million. PER MONTH.

I think that, not the internet peanut gallery, is what gave it the green light.

Man of Steel is a really, really good film. In my top 3 superhero films. So good.

BvS is really good up until the Doomsday bit (that ending and the ending of WW1 were the same special effects package, I think)

Justice League was awful. But we know now it was only 30% original footage. I am keen to see the original vision.

This is pretty much my view on these three movies, with the slight caveat that MoS--which I really like--is probably not top 3 for me, but definitely top 10. I also hold a special place in my heart for the first two Reeves films and would consider the first the best Superman movie, the "Can you read my mind?" bit notwithstanding.

Superman 1&2, for sure. Batman 89 and the first Avengers flick are better. And The Dark Knight is the best superhero flick ever made. I liked Infinity War a lot (Endgame wasn't as good). And Iron Man 1 is pretty good.

So yeah, without ranking them, top 10 I guess.

People take their superheroes a wee bit too seriously.

We have a similar top 10. I'd add in X2 and Days of Future Past, but I may be biased as I was much more of an X-Men fan back in the day than Avengers etc.

My top 9 superhero flicks would probably be, in no particular order: X2, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Avengers, Iron Man, Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire), Superman, Man of Steel, Batman (1989), Dark Knight.

Not sure which film to slot in as the 10th - there are a half a dozen candidates.
