Or maybe there is nothing more to do in the superhero movie space that hasn't already been done, remade, rebooted and rereleased. Maybe it's time to get into pirates and zombies for a while. After some time with pirates and zombies, we can come back and take a fresh look at superheroes.

Maybe some young outsider will even think of something to make movies about besides superheroes, pirates, or zombies. Talking plants? People that can sing? Even dance? Space? Could be anything.

I'm already bored.

I don't know when these two met in the comic book world, but the premise smacks of the screenwriting no-no about mixing more than one type of magic.

DC has always been boring. As a kid I thought it was boring.

I presume the Bat Man comes up with some sort of armored I-can-actually-fight-Superman suit?

"...the awkward v stabbed through it like one of the Caped Crusader's little bat-shaped throwy things."

You know they're called batarangs, Mr. Lannamann. Don't pretend you don't. Everyone knows they're called that.

@4: Yup. It's lifted directly from The Dark Knight Returns. (Not that I've read it. I don't care for the art style.)

Well, I can't say that I'm pleased that all my most pessimistic assumptions of this movie seem to be coming true; I was always had a slight preference to DC just for Superman and Batman. Still, I had hoped that this might right some of the wrongs that everyone saw in Man of Steel. Thankfully they're completely disassociated with the Nolan bat-flicks, so we will always have those if nothing else. (And the fantastic Batman: Arkham video games.)

DC's misfortune keeps my teeth white
