Ok, homo...besides heaths performance...what stood out in tdk? begins was fukking better

:mjlol: why are you so mad? Because I said TDK is better than all the Marvel movies imo? :dead:

But to answer your question, Roger Ebert said it the best...

"Because these actors and others are so powerful, and because the movie does not allow its spectacular special effects to upstage the humans, we’re surprised how deeply the drama affects us. Eckhart does an especially good job as Harvey Dent, whose character is transformed by a horrible fate into a bitter monster. It is customary in a comic book movie to maintain a certain knowing distance from the action, to view everything through a sophisticated screen. “The Dark Knight” slips around those defenses and engages us."

That's why

Tell me why Avengers is better than TDK

Or GOTG
Or Iron Man
Or Cap 2

I'll wait, I bet it has something to do with the special effects and how cool it looked. Oh yeah i forgot about the comedy :mjlol:

:mjlol:At Captain Amerikkka being a box office threat to Batman and Superman sharing screen time. Which universe is that happening in?

And even though Bale was an awful Batman, Nolan takes the blame for that. TDK is still bettering every Marvel movie.

Marvels best movie the general consensus is Avengers and if that's their best material I mean it's not even a competition. DC movies tend to be quality over quantity, I wouldn't worry about it.

BvS is going to make ridiculous money because it is a movie with Batman and Superman in it and it comes out in March.

Hitfix ran a story about a "no joke" policy for DC films that no one else ever corroborated and that has not ever been brought up again by any site anywhere on the Internet since Hitfix ran the story back in August. It is pure :duck:

DC is kinda dumb tho. They had Superman Returns, TDK trilogy, and GL that they coulda been Universe building all this time. MoS coulda been DC's Avengers IF they woulda had a plan. Instead the DC movies from the 2000s are in four entirely different Universes. Throw in the TV shows and you have like 7 different universes. Lots of wasted potential.

i'm gonna need to see at least a teaser trailer before i write off BVS's box office.

because if there is one thing you can say about all of snyder's movies, it is that they all have very effective trailers. say all you want about the movies, but i bet a lot of you paid a ticket to see them.



we have NOOO idea what kinda buzz and what kinda momentum there's gonna be heading into BVS a year from now. the trailers, the marketing... we haven't felt it yet. it's avengers season right now. no one's even thinking about bvs.

we haven't yet really seen the tone of the movie. the look. the feel. we don't know what kind of demos it's gonna hit hardest.



i really need to see a trailer first. it's soooo important.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 did $708,000,000 worldwide.

X-Men: Days of Future Past did $748,000,000 worldwide.

Guardians of the Galaxy did $774,000,000 worldwide.

Transformers: Age of Extinction did $1,091,000,000 worldwide.

I have to think a movie with Batman and Superman will do very very well... :lupe:
not if they make it like MoS it won't :francis:
