Poor Jim Gordon, who will be killed off at the end of the second act.
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
There's hope, he could turn out to be a thoughtless absentee dad instead!
That's true; I suppose he could kill off Dinah Lance instead.
So are we thinking it'll be Dick Grayson who falls face-first into Barbara's cleavage in a "funny" fight scene? It might be inappropriate for Batman since he's more a contemporary of her father. Of course, Joss does seem to think extreme age differences are sexy...
Went to see Justice League, mostly for Wonder Woman. Talk about a resounding meh. I didn't hate it as much as I did Man of Steel (didn't bother with B v S) but I dunno. It was mostly dull. Terrible villain, awkward mesh of boring action and attempts at humour, and there were a few shots of Diana that set my teeth at edge (I was like, PATTY JENKINS WOULD NEVER HAVE GONE FOR THOSE BUTT/BOOBS SHOTS). There was one funny joke involving Aquaman. I like Ezra Miller's Barry Allen but he mostly seemed to be in the wrong movie?
Amy Adams, you are too good an actress for this movie.
I was mostly hoping that Justice League wouldn't suck, so it exceeded my expectations. I basically liked it, though it can't hold a candle to Wonder Woman.
I REALLY want a Flash movie. Ezra Miller was great.
And, as a fan of the first animated Teen Titans series, I did indeed squee when Cyborg said "Booyah."
The second post-credits scene made me sad to see that goddamn horrible Lex Luthor. Ick. But super intrigued by Deathstroke, although Manu Bennett set a really high bar on Arrow.
I saw the picture Joe Manganiello tweeted out of him in the Deathstroke suit and boy do he and Manu Bennett look similar, even if the cinematic Slade is going to have the comics' gray hair and beard.
I was pleased with the similarity to comics Deathstroke, though I do love Manu Bennett enough to not care about the deviation.
I enjoyed Justice League, but as Steph said, the bar was set at "just don't suck". The villain was awful, and every time they said his name, I heard "Born to be Wild" play in my head.
Oh, and despite my grousing about Joss Whedon doing reshoots, it amused me that, unless I missed something, the only character with bare feet was Supes and not Diana.
