trinityvixenAnd one more while I'm at it: SA's Photoshop Phriday is bang-on this week. Soothing Sounds of Nature CDs. I particularly recommend the "Lightsaber Noise" one, I find the "Michael" one especially irritating beyond the joking nature of all the others ("WAAAAAAAAALT!!!!!!"), and I would actually like the Bob Ross one. That man talked softer than Harlon Peppar.

I know I mentioned the disastrous Batman vs Superman movie the other day. Seems like the versus fever's been going around the people actually making the respective franchises, too. Singer, thank God, is smarter than that. He wants to establish Supes' character (such as can be established, given that Superman is a little...'boring' would be putting it kindly), and good for him. He made characterization (pause here while the rest of Hollywood runs to look up that word) actually important in Superman Returns (maybe it wasn't always perfect, but it was there), that I trust he'll do more to develop it when they greenlight the next one.
But really, someone needs to muzzle Brandon Routh. Stick him in a box and don't let him come out unless he's got the tights or glasses on. It makes me ache how painfully stupid he sounds. I get that he's still just a kid and he's got his first real taste of being famous. Still: shut up. I don't care if he was kidding. He wasn't funny. He's talking smack about Superman beating Batman if ever the pair of cinematic icons should come to blows in their own movie. Such a movie should never be made, for the very obvious reason that the two shouldn't, under normal circumstances, be working at opposites, but also because their visual and thematic styles don't mesh at all.
Also? Christian Bale is an actor. As in one who acts. Brandon Routh did a fair job in Superman Returns, but he hasn't exactly proved himself yet. I hope Christian Bale is as good-hearted and generally game as he sounds in that article and is just humoring and encouraging the new kid on the block...
