If he casts J-Lo as Catwoman I'm going to send mail bombs to Warner Bros.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huh. I do not know how to feel about that.

Well, duh, you're supposed to feel *OUTRAGE*. This is the Internet, right?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I feel... what's the word for bored, mildly irritated indifference?
After the last Batman and Superman movies, I'm just out of care. Reboot them both, give me the Batman and Superman that feels real and familiar to me, and I'm in like Flynn, whoever Flynn is. This dark "gritty" world DC has created in their movies is exhausting and dispiriting to me, and I don't want to play in it anymore.
But that's just me. Alla y'all who're enjoying it, carry on.

Compassionately intolerant
I pretty much always agree with Zen, but no more so than today.
Out. of. care. where Batman is concerned. Saddened but, eh. There are other place to put my attention.
I don't think Ben Affleck is necessarily an automatic kiss of death, and I wish him well, but I won't be lining up for this one.

Oh, right. I'll work on that.
At least Ben Affleck is not Zack Snyder.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've been in the not interested camp for a long while. But then again, no one ever got rich making movies that cater to my tastes, so I can't really complain that they aren't making my kind of movies.

Well, people have made more than a billion dollars each on three movies that cater to my tastes recently, and I'm not thrilled about a monochromatic noir Superman movie either.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The closest I can think of is "ennui" but that's not quite right.
I've also lost interest in the DC movie-verse. At least their TV shows are still enteritis entertaining me.
On the other side of the coin, I'm interested to see how the new Sony/Marvel team up with a teenage Spider-man (that actually looks like a teenager) works out.
