trinityvixenAnd this is why I hate Hollywood.
Akiva Goldsman, you've done it again. He's the reason we have nipples on the Batsuit, I bet you anything. And he wrote Batman & Robin. Not the screenplay, so he has no excuse for what he had to work with for starters. He was the starter. He started Batman & Robin.
A World's Finest movie. If there's something I've learned from the crossover titles I've enjoyed, it's that those movies work best when you don't take it seriously. Riding on the giddy fangirl high of seeing Predators take apart the previously so dangerous Aliens (okay, okay, maybe there are fanboys who enjoy seeing that, too) was fine for Alien vs Predator, but it doesn't hold up. When you take the more ridiculous cheese of Freddy vs Jason, you've got a classic for all time. I mean, how can you not love the Destiny's Child girl's death? How can you not admire the studio for their acknowledgement of the best part of horror movies with their DVD "Jump to a Death" feature that you can play on a loop, hitting all the highlights?
Superman and Batman are too big for one movie. Cinematically speaking, they also evolved so independently that to mix their genres together would either be the most brilliant thing ever or, and this is 99.9999% more likely, the worst piece of tripe since, well, Batman & Robin. Starting it with Bruce quitting the Bat-routine and marrying [token female, not any of his various, passionate obssessive loves] and Superman getting the proverbial couch? I shudder to think
::shudder::
In other news, I am wearing my Flash t-shirt. I hear David Goyer has handed in a treatment for the movie. One step closer to seeing Ryan Reynolds wrapped in something tight! And being snarky! Uh, again!
