I don't see it. He just looks like a buff version of the guys in my family.

Superman has always been a bit of a boring character, which IMO is hard to write for to make interesting beyond the origin / coming of age story.

I think screwing up Batman is a lot more offensive. So much good lore and villians to work with.

IMO, Affleck played a terrible Fatman. He wasn't dark and brooding, he was wooden and boring. It wasn't just the story, but Afflecks portrayal of the character.

Honestly, if Jesse Eisenberg had just been doing a version of his Zuckerberg from The Social Network, it would have been fine. His whole twitchy routine was weird as fuck.

Probably a hot take, but I think Batfleck was the closest we've gotten to a comicbook accurate Batman. Batfleck's size and build were correct (physically imposing, could have been a bit taller), he was intelligent, mostly broody, and could fight. There are some things that could have been better (being a martial artist instead of being a brawler), but of all the movie incarnations so far I'd say he's the closest.

The show runner insisted on telling "their version of the story".

Which... let's put it like this:

If you're making a TV series about a book series written by a world famous author, and you think you can do a variation / "your take" on the story, because you think you're just that great of a writer, artist, director, etc., then you better actually be on his level.

It was good. Then, they fucked it.

And the whole setting allows for awesome sci fi, with spin offs if successful. I'm not holding my breath but it would be awesome if the series opens the door for broad application of the franchise.

Decades of universe building and flexible enough to allow new stuff. But Tyranids, orcs, chaos, eldar, necron, Hive cities, battlefleet, titans.. please don't let them fuck this up.

they need to get the guy who did the astartes cg, lock him in a room with cavill and let them hash out the first 10 movies.

So in case anyone wonders what that unhinged excuse for a sentence is supposed to mean: there is a rumour that came from a random unverified 4chan post that amazon wanted a woman in power armour and a sister of battle wasn't good enough. Which is why there's a female custodian in the latest codex.

The rumour also states that cavill now wants to leave. The source is about as trustworthy as something sharpied on a highschool bathroom wall and was only spread by angry youtubers that got suddenly into 40k without realising it started of as a parody of fascism. So I wouldn't be too worried honestly.

Sorry, Hollywood doesn't make fun spy movies anymore.

Much as we want them.

Say what now?
