    and those nipples why? they serve no purpose.

    To be fair, your nipples probably don't serve any purpose either.
    furthermore, the only reason they hired clooney is cause that fuckers chin is bigger than his forehead.

    If you are saying that having an enourmous chin is bad, than we are going to have some fucking words, mister.

    BC

    They could do a Dark Knight Returns adaption where Batman is nothing more than a giant CG chin.

    At this point, Miller would probably love the idea.

    Van Helsing was by no means a "good movie", but I still enjoy it.

    The Avengers and Species 2, now those are baaaaad movies.

    Also, just about anything made direct to DVD is usually cringe worthy, especially if it's a sequel or a ripoff of an existing property.

    Thus proving that even when Warner does things right, they do them wrong. They really shouldn't be allowed near their own superhero properties, Dark Knight be damned.

    Personally Rouroke just seems to play the same character in every film and he cant make many expressions either. He's cast into roles he can play rather than into roles he can make work. So casting him is likely just a golden boy of the moment thing.

    Wheres Superman 2 btw?

    Sure, but you could insert pretty much any of the bigger hollywood names and it would be the same thing. Most actors get a persona and stick with it.

    What are you basing this on? The, what, two films he's been in in the past five years? I mean, in Sin City all I heard was how he didn't even look like Mickey Rourke. And I mean, he's almost universally praised for the Wrestler.

    To be fair, the character of The Wrestler is a big star that dropped into obscurity and yet continues to try to hit the big time again isn't exactly a stretch for the guy.

    and in 9 1/2 weeks he's a pervy wall street investor who kinky-fucks kim basinger, which i guess also must not have been a stretch for him

    he also played st. francis of assisi, who was a big tough bruiser of a saint.

    Probably put them on hold while they try to figure out how to make all of them dark and broody like those only two good films they did. "That must be the secret! Quick, to the broody-mobile!".

    Honestly, from everything I've read, that seems to be where they're going. I don't know how dumb you have to be to think people only enjoyed Batman Begins/TDK because they were all edgy and moody. I don't know how they explain Iron Man's success as a pretty lighthearted action-comedy. I just don't know what the fuck.

    I'm honestly hoping this new trend will mimic the comic industry of the early-to-mid 90's, and we finally get some badass, dark as fuck movies about Gunfire, the Blood Pack, and Dr. Light.

    I don't understand their line of thought either. It was a Batman movie with really good casting and really good production values. I guess it was also well-done in pretty much every way. A really well-done movie, about one of the most popular characters in all of fiction. Gee, I wonder why it did so well?

    Dur dur dur, maybe it was the dark theme!

    Frankly, the idea of an emo superman makes me laugh. Seriously, is there any way to MORE mis-read a character? I suppose if you made Batman a stand-up comedian, or had Spider-Man make a deal with the devil.

    Dark Knight had a largely European cast. Obviously all DC movies should have a limey cast from now on.

    I nominate Kate Winslet for Wonder Woman and John Cleese for Alan Scott.

    And the kid was the worst part, but that's to be expected.

    Will Smith's son. Trust me, you'll be seeing more of him.

    But actually, he wasn't as bad as he COULD have been, considering his character. His acting seemed fine, but I wanted to hold his characters head under water until the bubbles stopped.
