    - oh, I just thought of a good one. - b. Oct 29, 14:30

    - bop bop, ba-bop bop. love is real, not fade away. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 29, 14:20
    - Yeah, because that's how it works with real life monsters. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 14:15
    - Game; see how far you can move the mouse cursor down the screen with a maximum of two bats appearing. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 14:14
Bats?! -- nm - Mop Oct 29, 14:08 1
- DC is getting desperate. They'll advertise anywhere now. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 14:11
ummm....bats? -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 14:08 12

      - in hindsight I should've disabled them on Slickertalk - but I can do that tonight -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 14:10 2
        
        (and sadly, they don't load on mobile ....) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 14:10 1
        
        I've been trying to bring them onto other tabs. Either I'm not quick enough, of they like it here. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 14:12
pleasedonothurtme: I haven't yet seen any of the linked Marvel movies - can I maybe just watch "Avengers" + the "Iron Mans" and not miss a lot? -- nm - b. Oct 29, 14:07 15
- yeah, there's way too many. i have seen about half of 'em, but i don't much care about the niggling details of the continuity.... - x Oct 29, 14:27
- I would say you have to see Iron Man 1, then Thor just to get Avengers per se...then Cap 2.... - Will Hunting Oct 29, 14:17 3
  - I really like Cap 1. It's old-timey atmospheric fun. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 29, 14:18 2
    - It's 'fun', but I don't think it's imperative to see to 'get' the MCU. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 14:22
    - yes -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:18
- (er, I did see GotG!) here's a list similar to what I saw. 18 = no way, no how. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 29, 14:09
- really, the first Iron Man, the first Captain America and you should be good. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:07 8
  - ok, thanks! -- nm - b. Oct 29, 14:14 7
    - (Though the second Captain America is terrific, too!) - Kim Pine Oct 29, 14:15 6
      - thanks, y'all - I should have added "Thor" because who doesn't need eye candy sometimes? ;) - -- nm - b. Oct 29, 14:19 4
        
        I l know right?! -- nm - Epiphany Oct 29, 14:21 3

The Nolan Batman films bring up guns/killing several times. (spoils for all 3) - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 13:58 20
- none of which explains WHY he is anti-gun in any way, shape or form. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:59 19
  - His entire character is about becoming the knight in dark armor....he's virtuous in an invirtuous world. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 14:19 5
    - what does that have to do with him not wanting to use a gun? - groiny Oct 29, 14:20 4
      - He knows the gun was murder; that's not virtue in any form. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 14:23 3
        
        did he not behead who he thought was Ras Al Goul? - groiny Oct 29, 14:25 2
        
        Left him to burn IIRC -- nm - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 14:27 1
        
        that is correct, not sure what I was thinking of. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:28
  - His parents were killed! - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 14:06 10
    - that is your intrepetation. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:07 9
      - Is there another interpretation? -- nm - Kittens give Roger Morbo gas Oct 29, 14:13 6
        
        yeah, the other person shot him before Bruce had a chance to. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:15 5
        
        ... (spoils) - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 14:17 4
        
        which had nothing to do with the gun itself. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:18 3
        
        he threw it away! -- nm - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 14:22 2
        
        he did not need it anymore! -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:24 1
        
        Now I see why Gotham is using question-mark coffee mugs. -- nm - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 14:28
      - [deleted] 1
        
        that is how it sounded in my head too! -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:08
  - Because, stay with me now, we all know what Batman is about! Just like we know what Superman is about! - spoil - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 14:01 1
    - he did not kill someone in cold blood. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:02
QE was a qualified success, but "handing a cheque directly to members of the public would have got money into the economy much more effectively." -- (link) - znufrii Oct 29, 13:57
the biggest reason the DC/Warner comic films all fail is - Peglegpete Oct 29, 13:57 5
- Who is closest to a Stan Lee at DC? -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:58 4
  - Julie Schwartz would have been it...but he didn't have a good rep at all when he was alive... - Remlik Oct 29, 14:02 1
    - he died in '04. Carmine would have been an equally good choice until he died last year - Peglegpete Oct 29, 14:08
  - no one, except by name. Jim Lee :) -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 29, 13:59 1
    - most of their gold & silver age staff are dead. 18 months ago, they had Carmine Infantino. in the 70's everyone bounced around between Marvel & DC - Peglegpete Oct 29, 14:05
[deleted] 2
- But none of them believe he will finish. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:56 1

We failed the highlight the most important facet of the AAdvantage integration released yesterday. - ty97 Oct 29, 13:54 1
- woot -- nm - Epiphany Oct 29, 14:17
really??????? -- nm - Dead Cyclops, Deadpool Oct 29, 13:49 30
- Neither of which are "Marvel" movies in the context of the MCU now. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 13:50 26
  - you can't just pretend those things never happened. to the average movie goer, they are the same company -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:52 25
    - but the last X-men film destroyed the basis Civil Wars is comes from -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 29, 13:54 3
      - The more movies the other stuidos make, the further the universes get. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:56 1
        
        yup -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 29, 13:58
      - -is -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 29, 13:54
    - And that's why Marvel's dedication to build it's brand is all the more impressive and why they are scared - Will Hunting Oct 29, 13:53 20
      - the only thing marvel is dedicated to is licensing. they don't really give a crap about anything else at base....nm - x Oct 29, 14:35
      - Agreed. I am not even sure what the arguement is at the moment! -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:54 18
        
        It's about ethics in games journalism. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 14:17
        
        That you can't make a Superman movie without changing Superman. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 14:15 2
        
        MofS was miles better than Green Lantern. - groiny Oct 29, 14:17 1
        
        And the flu is miles better than ebola; i'm not happy with either. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 14:20
        
        Loud Noises!! -- nm - pmb Oct 29, 13:59
        
        you are thinking that a huge % of the people seeing these movies, are aware that they are from different areas. - groiny Oct 29, 13:56 12
        
        Where did I say that? -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:57 11
        
        "when I say Marvel, I mean Marvel....." - groiny Oct 29, 13:58 10
        
        The grosses of Spider-Man 2 vs Guardians of the Galaxy say otherwise. -- nm - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 14:04 7
        
        the majority of people I know, questioned why Spider Man was ever rebooted in the first place. - groiny Oct 29, 14:06 6
        
        Maybe. But audiences are obviously seeing a difference between Marvel films and films that have Marvel characters - Kittens give Roger Morbo gas Oct 29, 14:13 5
        
        I didn't know until now that Guardians was a Marvel film. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 14:18 1
        
        lmao -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:18
        
        maybe, It helps that it was a good movie, and had a massive marketing campaign. - groiny Oct 29, 14:15 2
        
        For sure there's more than one reason, but audiences are trusting Marvel (at least until they make a mistake, that is) - All humans are vermin in the eyes of Roger Morbo Oct 29, 14:21 1
        
        we will find out soon enough, with little known Ant Man and Dr Strange. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 14:23
        
        you know, I am there opening day of every comic movie...... -- groiny (aka groiny) Oct 29, 12:15 - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 14:00 1
        
        and I do not know, or care, who is behind it, I will see them all because they are comic book movies. - groiny Oct 29, 14:01
- As we covered, when I say "Marvel", I mean Marvel. - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:50 2
  - ugh. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:50 1
    - But yeah, as Remlik would bitch about when we use "DC" we are actually talking about WB. But until DC gets smart, that is all we have. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:51
I mayhave to make a video of my description of the end of MoS. But groiny has seen it so should know better! -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:46 2
- I saw a video of the Loch Ness Monster once too. - groiny Oct 29, 13:47 1
  - Yeah, the video was fake. - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:48
