Yes, I guess it did fit in better with the Nolanverse. Ha, who came up with "Nolanverse?" Its three movies!

Costume has little to do with it for me as The Dark Knight proves. I hated the suit and the film was near perfection. Of course I'd love to see the costumes I envision. We all would.

My take on it. I’m not a fan of the design choice for Superman or Flash but they nailed Batman for me. Based it off Miller’s Dark Knight Returns. I absolutely love it despite not liking BvS. On the other hand, I hated Batman’s costume in the Nolan trilogy and those are the pinnacle for me in comic book movies. Supermans costume is too glossy and muted at the same time. I would prefer bright fabric for him. When DC’s top two are in a film together they should appear as polar opposites. Batman’s dark shadows to Superman’s bright beacon.

A lot of my favorites have already been posted so here’s a guilty pleasure of mine.

Looking forward to it. Didn’t you or I start a Directors Cut thread years ago? Listing good versions and differences? My old account is dead but I’m going search for it.

It is a superior version of the film but you have to overlook the rough CGI effects. Some of the work-print scenes they spliced back in are very grainy and noisy with no attempt at polish. The cool thing is they brought back in some of the original actors to record lines for the 2010 release. I do prefer how the Alien is born in this version (not from a dog). EDIT: I read that they did indeed go back and cleaned up the Directors Cut of Alien 3 so the workprint roughs were polished up.

Yes, unbelievable how good the DC is. The Kingdom of Heaven Ultimate Edition Blu-ray can be had on Amazon for around 8 USD and contains all three versions: Theatrical release Extended Directors Cut Roadshow Extended Directors Cut The Abyss is another film transformed by the DC with a huge impact on the finale.

I downloaded it from iBooks a few days back and forgot all about it. Will hit it right now.

Total agreement. I don’t care about reviews or box office, I will go see a movie I am interested in even with bad reviews. The only review that matters to me is mine. Some say they don’t want to spend their hard earned money without the reviews and I can respect that. For me, it’s a movie ticket and I spend more on caffeine and alcohol. I will see this, and I hope I enjoy it.

WWZ was great fun but in no way deserves the title WWZ since it bears little resemblance to the book. Loved the fast CGI hordes, thought they looked fantastic. I only like my zombies slow in a Romero flick.

I picked up some art directly from Gene Colan around 2007 and as soon as I opened the box, I was hit with the cigar smell. I hadn’t even pulled the pages out yet. I did absolutely nothing to them. The pieces were oversized and would not fit into my largest portfolio so I bought two huge acid free foam boards and sandwiched it in there. Years later, no smell at all.

My girls loved WW and haven’t seen JL yet. But all they want to see right now is Coco and I have to admit it looks great despite the standard Disney formula. https://youtu.be/Ga6RYejo6Hk

I was just looking at a Ronin page on CAF (#7) with paste-ups like you describe and agree it’s incredibly cool to see that creative process. I would love to have a page like that and would just keep the paste-ups safe in a separate Mylar.

Marvels humor formula usually turns me off and just comes across as jokes for kids with a few exceptions. And I guess that’s fine if kids are the target audience. But I did like Dr Strange and Ant Man and never read a single comic about those characters. I enjoyed those two movies more than both Avengers.

You just can’t understand it, boggles your mind. So tell us why you hated (and if that’s too strong) didn’t like that certain movie that critics or us nerds here rave about. I’ll start with some recent films. Wonder Woman. Meh, barely passable to me with a lame final battle. Spider-Man Homecoming. Keaton was awesome but I was not impressed with the movie at all and Downey added to killing it. I loved his portrayal of Stark in the first Iron Man but now he’s just annoying. As a bonus, I can’t stand Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Sometimes it sounds like she’s reading her lines off the -script for the first time. And she’s not playing Black Widow, she’s playing Scarlett dressed as Black Widow. I did really enjoy her in Lost in Translation and Ghost World though.

I’ve held off writing this but I guess one opposing view won’t rain on anyone’s day. I thought WW was barely passable. Final battle was dull, hokey and unoriginal. I probably wouldn’t watch this again. Didn’t hate it, it was just, meh. I enjoyed her appearance in BvS more even though that movie didn’t cut it for me either outside of a few great scenes. My two young daughters on the other hand thought WW was great.

I really wish they would go back and give us a proper Jurassic Park and Lost World again. Chrichton says about 20% of his novel made it into his screenplay. A lot of violence was toned down or just cut and big events were excluded due to budget. The novels were so much more entertaining than any of the films with a lot more going on plotwise as well as more dino-action. You see scenes like the birdcage in the third movie that was actually in the first novel. And The Lost World was just terrible. But they were box office monsters so no complaints. The first novel was fantastic and built tension with its seven (I think) iterations grouping a number of chapters and subplots as the system degraded. Now that I think about it, an HBO series of seven or eight episodes containing each iteration would be ideal.

Watched the five parts, thanks for sharing, it was awesome. Very entertaining and Liefelds story about Tom Cruise chewing him out was pretty funny.

I’ve seen that before, is that yours? I love it, compare it to the original splash and there is no contest.

Used to love this show in the beginning but eventually gave it up just I did the comic. I could get back into the comic if the writing improved and they got a new artist. Would love to see Sean Phillips take over all art duty for covers and interiors. Here’s the box art he did for the upcoming Blu-ray release of Night of the Living Dead.

Went through all the pages in this thread and I definitely appreciate the majority of everyone’s postings. Lots of cool art here. I think most of my small collection fits this thread.

It’s funny, I was looking at Bays box office success and the film that made the least amount of money is the one I consider his best. 13 Hours.

Too bad about the low RT score but it doesn’t decide what I want to watch. Too bad for Zack too, I loved his Dawn of the dead, 300, Watchmen and Man of Steel. While I didn’t love BvS, that warehouse scene Bosco posted is the best Batman action scene ever created. Matt Reeves on the other hand created such an incredible trilogy with The Planet of the Apes that I can’t wait for his take on Batman. I’ve always preferred Batman solo anyway in a dark, living, breathing Gotham that should be a character unto itself. Tim Burton really focused on Gotham and it was perfect for 1989. I’d like to see as much focus go into the city as its main character. Still looking forward to Justice but no hero movie yet has been able to dethrone The Dark Knight for me.
