he looks like superman but what did he really do as superman?

that movie gave henry cavill so little to do.

i'm not sure if he was ever allowed to really own the role, you know?
be be because they want to update him so bad. They don't realize you can still have superman be superman but in a gritty dark world. They think he needs to brood and grimace to fit in with the colour palette :camby:

I'm eager to see if they treat characters like Flash and Green Lantern the same way.

They shouldn't make the mistake of thinking being completely humorless and dry is being the anthisisis to marvel cuz it isnt. You are just going to produce another man of steel which lets face it could have been soooo much more but fell below the mark

They should've had Superman cracking jokes and smiling while 9/11 times by 7 was going on, that's the way to make a superhero movie:troll:

Zod: I'm going to destroy your world :damn:

regardless we don't need to turn this into a MOS debate.

the fact is we don't need a movie, a FRANCHISE, where superman is depressed and angry all the time and doesn't talk much. it's not in the spirit of the character and more important it keeps him too distant.

Ok that's cool, let's move on

Uh I think they are the only examples. It's not like I'm cherry picking movies over here. The trick is to do it right, that hasn't happened yet, there's no reason to be optimistic when looking at past occurrences of Robin in movies.
You are trying to make the case that a Robin couldn't work on the big screen by bringing up failed attempts at Robin like he was the reason for the failure and not the shytty attempts at portraying him.

This movie is definitely certified to be successful especially financially but I just disagree on the point. There's a reason Chris O'Donnell and whoever was with Adam West are the only versions of him on film. Robin is a tough sell in general. If you want Batman to shine him being on a team makes him less than.
So 2 out of the 3 cinematic versions of Batman we have actually seen have included Robin? That kinda kills your own argument, bruh.

I don't know why they were shytty, but it's basic: until you see something done you have to say it is hard to do. Otherwise, someone would have done it properly by now.It's not like there is a shortage of Batman movies.

Not following, could you articulate further/better? What kills my argument? I'm saying those Robin's were not good. What are you saying?
Burt Ward's Robin was exactly right for the time that he was in. No one criticizes that depiction of Robin as being "done badly".
And all of Schumacher's movies were mediocre but that had nothing to do with the inclusion of Robin.
What I am saying is that there have been 3 feature film versions of Batman so far: the 1966 film, the Burtonverse and the Nolanverse...2 of them have had a Robin.

Nolan's choice to not include Robin had nothing to do with how badly the previous ones were done but was just his own personal opinion on the type of character Batman was.

You were making it seem like there was some consensus opinion that every depiction of Robin sucked and as a result no one wanted to touch the character out of fear of failing at bringing Robin to the big screen which is not true in any way shape or form.
