There is an exchange is Dark Knight that encapsulates a WB problem.

Posted by Spawn Nov 29 '17, 08:04

When Bruce is going to go save Reese, Alfred asks if he is taking "the" car. Bruce replies, "In the daylight?"

WB is afraid to show this world in the daylight. They are afraid to commit to reality and want to keep it a fantasy.

Speaking of the Dark Knight... -- (link) - Shaun Nov 29, 08:15
Hmm. - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:07 3
- Exactly. - Spawn Nov 29, 08:11 2
  - Does JL have it's climactic battle end in the 30 seconds of darkness right before a blazing orange sunrise? - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:24 1
    - Nah, that's too subtle for JL. They just went full-on blazing orange CGI. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 08:41
but, with Batman, it makes perfect sense. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:07 21
- I am using it as a metaphor. (Yes, with Batman it is correct. In the comic, he avoids JL set appearances, etc). -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:10
- Right? He’s the terror that slaps in the night. - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:07 19
  - If you compare JL trailers to that Avengers trailer it is *literally* night and day! -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:14 18
    - Except when it’s night (Homecoming had some of that). And Marvel is even better at that. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:15
    - compare Avengers to EVERY Zach Snyder movie. - groiny Nov 29, 08:15 16
      - So, we are in agreement. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:16 15
        
        I think we can all agree that his films have a distinct pallor. It’s just that Batman is supposed to be a creature of darkness. - Beryllium Nov 29, 08:20
        
        on the look of the movies, of course. - groiny Nov 29, 08:18 13
        
        It's like he's married to the visual style of 300 and hasn't adapted. - Shaun Nov 29, 08:21 2
        
        Which is doubly bad given he's only really earned his career via visuals. - Will Hunting Nov 29, 08:27 1
        
        True. 300 worked amazingly well because he almost literally ripped the visuals directly from the comic. - Shaun Nov 29, 08:28
        
        Superman, Wonderwoman, Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:20 8
        
        well, I am more talking Man of Steel and BvS than JL here. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:21 7
        
        Past mistakes are past mistakes. I am talking JL vs Avengers right now. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:24 6
        
        They had already sunk everything into Snyder, they had 3 movies worth of visual style built in, impossible to change course now. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 08:25 5
        
        Yes and no. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Lets do it again!" - WB -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:27 4
        
        Didn't they basically sign him up front for multiple film deals? - groiny Nov 29, 08:33 3
        
        I wonder how much that costed them in BO.. - Marlowe Nov 29, 08:39 1
        
        Imagine if they had dumped Snyder and got Whedon. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 08:59
        
        When you have this much riding on it, you find a way. - Spawn Nov 29, 08:38
        
        right to your im last line. -- nm - Beaker Nov 29, 08:19
