I am hoping you mean Black Adam; otherwise, I'm going to revoke you comic fan license here and now.

Hilariously for somebody who is criticizing Snyder's adherence to the source material, perhaps you should check the cover of your Black Panther comics. I believe you'll find that it says "Marvel" at the top, and this might explain why you haven't seen him mentioned in any of the Batman vs. Superman reviews. ;)

I do encourage you to keep an eye out for him in May, where he'll appear in Captain America: Civil War.


Dammit, you're totally right. I was reading a preview of Civil War (that actually mentioned him) while I was typing this. (As well as... you know... doing work).

I was hating on Snyder's bullshit so much I had a moment. Don't pull my comic book fan club card quite yet!

I think Superheroes could stand a little more diversity in this day and age. I'm hoping, quite desperately, that they do Black Panther justice. T'Challa is pretty damned awesome.

I said the wrong movie but that was my point as well. :) I really want to see them do the character (who, outside of comic readers, is essentially unknown) justice. I guess he won't be married to Ororo in this version, curse you separate studio licenses!

I enjoyed the hell out of it. I think the only thing I would have done different, hold the final shot for another two seconds. Outside of that, it was good. But you know...

It was entertaining.

Not sure why the critics hated it so much, but such is life.

Okay, easily recognized Aquaman and the Flash, who is the third Metahuman or part thereof in the secret files of Lex Luthor? Or are we doing spoilers yet? Send me a message if you want to tell me and it is too soon to leak it here.

The third was Cyborg. They didn't really show him too much.

My hate is being directed at the movie, but it is really irritation and disappointment in WB and Zack Snyder. They don't want to earn what Marvel has been working for and instead are trying to take short cuts to catch up.

You know how when you're a kid and you have a bowl of Lucky Charms, you'll occasionally get a bite with a marshmallow and it's THE GREATEST THING EVER, but the other 80-90% of the meal is terrible, mushy gruel that's so bad it makes you question why you wanted it in the first place? BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE is the cinematic equivalent of that bowl of cereal. There are bits of legitimate brilliance in there. But there are also so, so many things that are so pants-shittingly stupid that they make me want to reach inside my skull and rip my brain into confetti.

In case you are planning to see BATMAN V SUPERMAN and at the end are too exhausted to wait all the way through, I'll just tell you: the only credits cookie is Samuel L. Jackson's head popping up like Clippy, asking "It looks like you're building a connected cinematic universe. Would you like help?"

I want to point out that I made this joke in the car on the way to see the film. Upon reflection, however, I didn't realize that it was going to essentially be an actual goddamn plot point.

Wait... so Sam Jackson is in it? I'm confused. I'm waiting for this on PPV/Redbox, and I don't care about spoilers.

No, but
Spoiler:
the film just...stops during the climax for Wonder Woman to basically open up some email attachments to watch trailers for the upcoming Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Flash movies.

Hahaha oh my God! Did no one watch this thing before it came out?

Regardless, doing good at the box office. Success!

I **** you not. If you want another dose of dumb,

Spoiler:
Batman only stops his attempted murder of Superman when Superman manages to croak out "Save...Martha" (whom Lex Luthor has kidnapped). Why? Because both Batman and Superman's moms are both named Martha and now they're super best friends.

Why do I get the feeling this movie is Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (the original) bad?

If you're like me and beyond caring about spoilers for this cinematic war crime, this is a funny read.

I was expecting an "Early April Fool's!" at the end of that. If that's the movie then... holy ****.

DC needs to get more involved in their movies, like Marvel did. If they *are* getting involved, then DC themselves must have zero clue about their own franchises.

I wasn't planning on seeing it in the theater, and that hasn't changed. These days it takes a very, very special sort of movie to get me to a theater. I didn't even see Avengers 2 on the big screen.
