As happy as I am that Marvel has such great movies--planned all the way into the 2020s, even--I cant help but feel down that DC has had such crappy representation, for the most part. Dont get me wrong, I loved the Batman Trilogy, but every other attempt seems half-assed or poorly-written. Or both. Green Lantern should have been an awesome movie. Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan is awesome. But crappy writing, gawdy effects, etc., wore it down. But thats just one example. I actually kind of fear for the Flash, Wonder Woman, and any other DC movie that comes this way, regardless of how good the intentions. Its not that hard to read the comics and follow the storyline. It really isnt. Some creative licensing is fine, but when Hal Jordan is a quitter, the best part of Man of Steel is the costume design, and Catwoman is..........THAT..........theyre taking away crucial elements that makes most DC films look like they tore the script out of a 14-year-olds fanfiction archive. And thats insulting to fanfiction, because Ive seen better.
