Hi nerd rage. Are there any films you have really specific opinions on? I just started following so I'm not sure where your feelings lay. Maybe 5-10 specifics to give me a feel for what you like/hate/hate-like?

hmm ok well I am a huge DC Comics fan so I have many strong feelings about those movies and the things I hate/love about them.

For instance, I think The Dark Knight trilogy are great films but I don’t think Christian Bale was a very good Batman in them.

Partly because his Bat-voice sounded like he was battling throat cancer, but mostly because he wasn’t a good detective.  He used weird pseudo-science that doesn’t exist. (the computer that pulled a fingerprint from shattered bullet inside a wall and the sonar cell phone device) He is supposed to be the world’s greatest detective and he always felt like he was a step behind.
The best representation of the Batman is the one from the animated show.

I also wish there were better fight scenes.  I love fight scenes that have long takes with very little cuts.  Older Jackie Chan films, Netflix Daredevil, Oldboy, The Raid, have some of the best fight scenes off the top of my head and I would like to see something along those lines in a Batman movie.

I think the Batcave should have a giant Penny in it without any explanation whatsoever.

Despite all that I still love those movies.  The villains are captivating and elevate each movie (especially the Joker, obviously).  The supporting cast is great and Bale is very good as Bruce Wayne.  But if all goes well I really think Ben Affleck has the potential to be the best live-action Batman.

If there is any film in particular you (or anyone) would like my opinion about feel free to ask :)
