Good news. Man of Steel had a strong showing on DVD/Blu-Ray as well.

Pretty much. Adam West and George Clooney are great as novelties but I'm not sure I want that as the norm.

An artist's work is much more interesting and deep when they're in a state of emotional turmoil. It's not good for them, but it's good for us. It's just the way it seems to be.

Here is a parody of CinemaSins pointing about what's so good about BvS.

The narrator makes a good point when he compares Batfleck's role leading up the Superman fight with TDK's line "You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain". But I think that theme is much better explored in BvS than it was in that film.

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

It's just a top quality movie. I actually have a newfound appreciation for it if anything.

Here is what Margot Kidder had to say about Lois Lane in the DCEU movies.

Quote
They took one of the best American actresses' around, Amy Adams, and didn't give her anything to do! I mean, how stupid is that? They made her what used to be the girlfriend, which kind of ended in the 60s with women's rights.

I don't understand what Kidder is talking about. In MOS, Lois is integral to the plot and is the main person to build Clark's trust in humanity. She even played her part in defeating Zod. Although I initially thought her presence in the theatrical version of BvS was unnecessary, the Ultimate Edition gives Lois an actual purpose thanks to the improved (and originally intended) version of the Africa scene, and investigating the Senate bombing.

If anything, an argument can be made that Lois has even less to do in the Christopher Reeve movies.

Not sure if it's sour grapes on her part, but I strongly disagree with her statement. Lois is far from wasted in the Snyder movies. She's integral to the plot, and is described as "the key" by The Flash.

In STM, Lois is there to be wooed and rescued.

In Superman II, she's there to tempt Superman into making stupid decisions that almost get the entire world destroyed.

In Superman III, she's there only to explain why she won't be there at all.

In Superman IV, she's a non-girlfriend.

Yes, tell me more, Ms. Kidder, about how bad Lois is in the new movies.



I don't mind her, but truth is, she hasn't even seen the movies.

Margot always was a Kidder.

Mel Gibson had apparently called BvS a piece of sh*t in an interview.
