This thing was doomed from the start when they decided to introduce like fifteen characters in a two hour movie. Avengers works because they all got their own stand alone movies first to create the characters. This is just too much too quickly and I never thought it would be anything more than an incoherent mess. They tried to repeat the success of Guardians, but with twice as many new characters. It's unfortunate that they're so desperate to make the same amount of money as Marvel do and the actual movies suffer because of it (like BvS being the SECOND movie)

konradsmith, iirc you're a fan of Mel Gibson's work. This looks kind of interesting.

Sadly, I'm not surprised with Suicide Squad being a bloated mess. Too many characters, panic induced reshoots... The hints were there. Besides, David Ayer is simply a mediocre filmmaker. I always thought that way, even when Fury (a massively overrated movie, IMHO) got all those good reviews a few years ago.

Except for writing Training Day there's nothing impressive on his resume.

Can comic book films stop being the fulcrum of popular culture already? It's been too many years with too many iterations of the same characters for everyone to get thoroughly worked up by now, surely.

It's been too many years with too many iterations of the same characters for everyone to get thoroughly worked up by now, surely. When I was growing up the only comic book movies we had were Tim Burton's Batman. As a comic book fan I'm kind of jealous that today's youth have had so much to choose from. Granted a lot of it is shit, but there's been plenty of good stuff too. What I would like to see is less superhero movies and more adult themed comic movies being made. There's plenty out there to choose from. It seems most of them are made into tv show though (TWD, Preacher, Outcast, etc).

Yeah I should have worded that as superhero rather than strictly comic book films, there's plenty of great source material to make mainstream films out of graphic novels/comic series. The problem I have is film discussion becoming overwhelmed by debates about these superheroes who have had so much screen time devoted to them over the past decade or so. There's a lot of great stuff getting drowned out by the latest below average DC film, or whatever it happens to be that week.

Really happy that this amazing feat is getting the proper treatment. Hopefully something like this can elevate Nolan to new levels.
Also if it turns out Harry Styles can fucking act it's going to be hilarious. Likewise if he can't, it's a win/win!
