That would be about 18€ too much.
Don’t forget the Korean Batman where he meets the giant robot Great Mazinger!

It’s been since somewhere around 2008 or 09. It shouldn’t be a surprise that a video game is the one that broke a quarter century of costume design to make the character sexier.
Since then it’s only gotten worse across the board. I generally consider any film where the actress complains about the clothes not functioning whatsoever to be a warning sign.

I think it’s more appropriate for an anti-hero rather than an outright puppy-kicking supervillain, but Deadpool sounds like a good name for this kind of a character…

That’s well-drawn but hardly weird. Or particularly spacey. Could be from a GoT comic.
“A really good superhero movie”? What does make a really good superhero movie? The Dark Knight was really good and easily as dark as Batman v Superman. The few “jokes” in that film was things like the Joker sticking a pen in someone’s eye socket.
The latest set of DC movies were not amazing, nowhere near Dark Knight level, but they were still enjoyable movies. (the MCU, by the way, is also not on “Dark Knight” level of cinematography, but still very enjoyable)
Not every superhero movie needs to be the same thing. The fun, no consequences, take on superheroes that Marvel takes works great for them, but their quality is in decline too (still great movies, though, but not as good as Iron Man, Avengers). DC comics are generally darker than Marvel comics, so I get that Warner wants the DC movies to reflect that darker tone. They haven’t found the right balance yet, but I hope they will. ( and after they’ve found the right balance, I want them to turn Arkham Asylum (the graphic novel) into a straight up horror movie )
If you like the “well drawn weird spacey” comic genre you should try Don Lawrence’s “Storm” comics : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_(Don_Lawrence)
up until a few years ago it would have most likely compared to Warhammer (40k). I wouldn’t have thought this kind of aesthetics can become mainstream
but there are spaceships! and 3D-printed humans!

Why am I always working when the good arguments start?
Oh well, at least people are too occupied these days to give me crap about how much I love Ang Lee’s Hulk.

I liked that one too. It falls to shit in the 3rd act but its gorgeous with some nice character work before the Hulk Dogs show up.

Why? Hollywood releases more than 300 movies a year. I have reviewers, word of mouth and trailers to filter down what I’m going to watch. Since two of those don’t have a financial interest in getting me to pay to see the movie - those are the ones I go with. If a friend tells me that Suicide Squad is awesome, I might go, but since I find that I overwhelmingly agree with reviewers, especially when it comes to tits and explosion action movies like Batman v. Superman, Transformers, etc. it seems unlikely.

Not only that, but Hollywood puts out a minority of the world’s movies.

Also if we go see shit movies, just to confirm that they’re shit. Then the shit movies still make money as if they weren’t shit. Which incentivizes more shit movies. Its a vicious shit cycle.

I’ll be avoiding this one, for many reasons. I didn’t like the batman trilogy, I hated man of steel. Didn’t bother with batman vs superman.
