As much as I love some of the films that came out of the the DCEU, I wish I knew what it would have been like if we just got a man of steel trilogy, what batman begins did for batman was more or less what man of steel did for superman. It was like this sports car had just been built. It was origin. Bringing other characters in deprived this superman the opportunity to be fully realized.

@tronam Ай бұрын

Except Man of Steel wasn't nearly as good, and then they clumsily rushed into Justice League in a vain attempt to ride the Avengers wave, when all they really did was choke on their fumes. I'm so glad to see a fresh new DCU on the way, led by far more competent leadership.

@tronam Ай бұрын

Both brothers were born in England and have dual UK/US citizenship, so technically they're both 'American', but Jonathan moved to the US before Chris did. Apparently his British accent was "unpopular" in school, so he consciously learned how to speak with an American accent to better fit in and it stuck.

@genghisgalahad8465 Ай бұрын

@genghisgalahad8465 Ай бұрын

@tronam he moved to the US when he was younger? It's not uncommon to adopt an accent where one lives in as a you ger person. There's no need to point out the why of it all. I imagine a British accent would be attractive. I don't know ow anything it being "unpopular," and I mean, you have British born American actors who have blended accents. His is markedly American.

@_ayoung Ай бұрын

There's a seven year age gap between them and their dad is American and their mother a Brit - they would go back and forth between London and Chicago. Jonah Nolan jokes that he got the 'American leg of the tour.' He also said he got a lot of hassle as a kid in American schools for his mixed accent, so he doubled down on his Chicago accent to fit in.

@@CRL365 yes I am blind. My fingers must've slipped over the Braille there. Look, I thought your throwing shade at rises was unnecessary. You praised it, but then completely undermined that praise in the next sentence, and suggested that rises fits awkwardly in the trilogy, and shouldn't have been made at all. That's a pretty condescending thing to say about a movie. Its like, "yeah it's great . . . . . Buuuuuuut, it really shouldn't have been made. It ruins my experience of the first two." Rises gets so much needless and empty and false critiques. It bugs me when people dismiss it for shallow reasons.

I was really let down with TDKR when I saw it in theatre. Didn't revisit it for awhile. I've seen it multiole times since 2020 and I'm actually a fan of it now. There is something about the pacing of that film that doesn't match the first two, which is where I think the problem lies in the subconscious of the viewer. However, they've got so much ground to cover over so much time and many events. It's really a good movie, it's major fault is it comes after The Dark Knight.

Nolan batman is one of the most overrated and flawed films ever made. Evidence is in the fact how people refer to "The Joker" being good. This is an example that one person's acting carried the film and not the actual story or narrative.

@Slask7 Ай бұрын

false. These films have less flaws than people claim, and the second movie wouldn’t have been that cultural phenomenon and an instant classic if the only good thing in it was the Joker. Actually, it’s Todd Phillips Joker you’re talking about: a mid movie praised to death because there’s a stellar performance that elevates all the rest.
