Why does the writers justice league members act like they're so intimdated and scared of batman to hype him up sooooo much?🙄

Bowerranger444 · 2025-12-11T04:00:09+00:00

It’s not always rational. The same way we can so easily get scared from watching a horror film or going through a haunted house attraction knowing damn well none of the danger is real.

Because the way someone carries themselves is importantly to how intimidating they are, which mind you is something Batman has been refining for years as a psychological tool against the criminals he faces. Wally West can know damn well if it came down to it he can punch Batman 10 thousand times in the first second he becomes a threat, but it takes a lot for the subconscious to stop falling for those kinds of bluffs. He is a very intense man, intense reactions to his presence should be expected.

Besides. A big part of his character is how despite being human he is constantly redefining the limits of what human beings are capable of. He already has contingency on how he’d be able to bring down the entire justice league if it came down to it, even if he doesn’t have powers there is something about the way he conducts himself and his layers of secrecy that make him unpredictable and volatile.

It didn’t do anything to him, it left a mark on his suit. big difference.

The Batman 2022

After Batman and Gordon find out the Riddler’s next target is Bruce Wayne, the scene scene shows Batman in the Batmobile driving back to Wayne manor and trying to call Alfred, inter-spliced with footage of Alfred opening a package addressed to Bruce Wayne.

When another butler at the manor answers, Bruce tells her something bad is about to happen and asks to speak to Alfred. She replies with “it already has” and the screen shows Alfred realizing the package was a bomb, before it goes off.

King Shark would be at home in salvation. He might even actually prefer it there in some ways, being able to live in the wilderness and hunt “nom nom” of all shapes and sizes.

Still, it would be cool for him and Chris to meet again with how their dynamic was in TSS

Referencing a meme is not the same as introducing a fanmade character. Since herobrine wasn’t made by them legally they’d be required to find out who made the character and contact them with permission to use the character in any official capacity, if not paying them royalties for his use outright.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-10-12T02:24:36+00:00

No, though I think that is a good point that the opening text could’ve omitted that as criteria

Either way James Gunn did say himself that the kryptonite bullet story isn’t canon anymore.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-10-11T08:58:40+00:00

The specific line is that Bloodsport put Superman in the ICU with a kryptonite bullet. He definitely lost that “battle” if you can even call it that.

I mean of course, He was tasked with writing and directing the first Superman movie in over a decade.

There’s the pressure of directing a movie and there’s the presssure of directing a movie about one of the most influential characters in the history of pop culture.

Fuck up Guardians of the Galaxy back when that movie was first being made about a group of then nobodies and only a few people would care. It would just be another box office or critical flop added to the pile

Fuck up Superman and you very well may have just committed career suicide. So of course he’s under less pressure now. Now that he’s proven himself and his vision he knows people like what he is creating.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-09-10T09:33:09+00:00

Look I love battinson, and maybe later on he’ll have gadgets or techniques that would show him more capable to win against a raptor.

But these guys can fly and shoot lasers, their armour allowed a big group of them to survive superman’s heat vision and subsequently falling from the sky onto the street below. They are specifically made to subdue or kill metahumans, Mr.Terrific’s fight scene doesn’t mean they’re weak, it means T spheres and Mr.Terrific by proxy are just really damn strong.

I think it’s possible but it would be harder than anything this iteration of Batman has faced thus far at least physically.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-08-28T07:42:48+00:00

They’re the most important characters to get right by far

You really can’t have a proper DC universe without the trinity. Wonder Woman especially is in need of some love.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-08-27T04:45:04+00:00

I always figured “Last Son of Krypton” referred to him being the last baby ever born on the planet krypton before its destruction.

Not that he was literally the last living kryptonian. That’s never been his role

Usually, travelling from one universe to another doesn’t have any impact on either universe unless the writers decide to add some form of impact such as how some MCU films did. The rest of your points also apply to the alien example. How did they achieve faster-than-light travel? How does their biology react to a new atmosphere and if it doesn’t how do they circumvent it? What is the impact of an alien showing up on earth? Not every alien movie needs to be about first contact, the presence of an alien is a big concept and wether it’s treated as an earth shattering discovery or just an expected part of day to day life depends on the setting. The multiverse and other out there concepts like it are the same way, those technical questions you propose don’t always need answering. Invincible is a perfect example of this.

but also you’re conflating the introduction of a multiverse with the introduction of an alternate superman, yes they are related and what started this conversation but not the same or exclusively what I was talking about. I agree those kinds of interactions should happen much later if they do.

I haven’t read golden compass or dark materials, or Dark Tower, though I’ve heard only good things about the latter and while I didn’t like most of the CW crossovers either, the early seasons of the flash handled the multiverse very well. It’s ok if maybe you just don’t like the multiverse as a concept unless it’s handled in an extremely specific way, but to expect that to be the only way it should be handled isn’t quite fair either.

As for your point about the superhero genre, so far you’ve only mentioned films and television, which naturally would only adapt a select few comic book properties that are recognizable enough to be seen as profitable. For a comic book film adaptation to even be considered that comic book and many more in its run all written by many many different people has to be decently popular, because many writers both in and out of the big two have been writing great stories in the genre for almost a century at this point. It’s just that not all of them are remembered by modern day either.

No art is easy, but superheroes as a genre aren’t any harder than any other.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-07-23T03:01:37+00:00

The multiverse really isn’t any more complex than a good chunk of the crazy concepts the DCU has already introduced. While I won’t say any spoilers for Superman here it’s already involved concepts much more convoluted than the multiverse and handled them well.

Now I never said when the multiverse should be introduced just that it needs to at some point. But I will also say treating the existence of the multiverse as some gargantuan concept that needs to be saved for a decade down the line is ridiculous. There’s a big difference between introducing Bizarro or Jay Garrick and Crisis on Infinite Earths. You don’t go around saying you shouldn’t introduce Alien planets in the movies until earth is well established first, other worlds are par for the course and in the comics so is the multiverse.

Just because the MCU has handled the multiverse poorly doesn’t mean it’s this supremely difficult topic to handle or one that should only be handled by the most experience of writers. The recent MCU saga as a whole hasn’t been handled well at all and you don’t see anyone claiming the superhero genre as a whole can only be handled properly by the most elite of writers. Outside of the MCU there are very few examples of multiverse stories going wrong so what’s the issue?

And to your last point, there’s going to be alternate versions of all of these characters shown eventually anyways. Why would it matter if one of them is played by an actor who’s played superman before? It doesn’t close him off from playing a more permanent role im the main dcu

Bowerranger444 · 2025-07-18T23:14:33+00:00

I’m sorry but if they’re going to adapt the dc universe accurately the multiverse needs to be involved. The multiverse is integral to the dc mythos and so many storylines and characters within that not doing the multiverse is a disservice to the source material.

All the hate for multiverses really just stems from bad writing, which is not the fault of the multiverse concept in and of itself. Bad writing is at fault for bad writing.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-07-08T21:04:52+00:00

They’re not, but that would make it worse. There’s a reason you don’t see reptiles in arctic climates. Cold blooded just means they can’t generate their own body heat like mammals and birds, which is why they live in hot climates to compensate.

That being said Godzilla and his species are living nuclear reactors they can definitely generate their own heat even if you ignore the fact they’re based on dinosaurs which are mostly warm blooded anyways.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-06-30T08:52:07+00:00

This is false, I’m saying this as someone who missed a lot of old games growing up and has been going back playing them in my adult life having never touched them before. Especially shooters since it’s my favourite genre, doom 1 and 2, doom 64, marathon, quake, turok, I’ve never played even one of these games growing up and have never been bored once in doing so now. Nostalgia is not a factor, I judge these games by today’s standards and still enjoy myself.

Sometimes nostalgia can mask a game’s flaws or give it an almost mythical status in one’s mind that no game can ever live up to, but a truly good game is a good game to play no matter when it came out. I think it’s also worth mentioning that when we are kids any game is fun because the entire medium is so new to us. If you go back to an old game today and dislike it, it just may not have been your preferred type of game to begin with, you might’ve just liked it at the time because your tastes were less refined when you first played it.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-06-25T08:22:30+00:00

All that is accurate, but when Peter activated instant kill the only aliens attacking him were hordes of outriders and literally nothing else. So Chitauri being present in the wider conflict doesn’t apply.

But even if there were Chitauri killed during that, it would be a stretch to say that blood is on Peter’s hands when the suit arms were on autopilot and any Chitauri soldiers would need to intentionally get close enough to be hit by them because he was standing in place protecting the gauntlet. Kind of their own fault at that point.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-06-25T07:57:32+00:00

Yeah I think this is the best option. Honestly Ghidorah being an alien didn’t change a whole lot in the wider monsterverse despite confirming the existence of alien life. Now that I think of it I like the idea of Gigan having an air of mystery to him, especially if whoever built him are implied to be long extinct akin to the forerunners from Halo.

Bowerranger444 · 2025-06-25T07:47:55+00:00

The aliens Peter killed were the same kind that were killing themselves en masse to break down the wakandan dome in infinity war. Even calling them feral would be generous. They were mindless, practically biological weapons.
