Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice : 4 of the 20 Live Action DC films WB produced have genuinely been good
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
Superman the Movie was pretty astounding for its time. It's at least as good as BAtman '89.
I'd add Batman Returns, Superman 2 and TDKR to the list.

Superman and Superman 2 weren't produced by WB. Only 2 Superman solo movies were produced by WB, Man of Steel and Superman Returns.
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
I thought they were all produced by Warner Bros.

Nope. Superman 1 and 2 were produced by Dovemead Film Export A.G. and International Film Productions. Batman 66 was produced by Fox Studios. Looks like WB didn't start producing anything DC up until Batman 89.

Superman (informally titled Superman: The Movie in some listings and reference sources) is a 1978 superhero film directed by Richard Donner and based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The film is a British, Swiss, Panamanian and American venture,[2] produced by Warner Bros.,

Watchmen and The Dark Knight Rises were good, too. Way better than some of the less than stellar MCU outings. Like that awful The First Avenger movie, or those unbearable Thor movies that make Jack Kirby roll in his grave. (God, let's hope Thor Ragnashlock is the last movie in the franchise and one day we might get an authentic Thor movie, with Thor who is not portrayed as emotionless troglodyte, and Donald Blake being essential to the story.)
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
Watchmen and TDKR were OK at best, not genuinely good films.
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
Watchmen is a terrible film. I think it's only regarded as good by fanboys who got all giddy at seeing the graphic novel on screen, and failed to notice how crap the film was.

The director's cut was horrendous. That whole side plot of the kid and the newspaper stand owner having the same name bonding over some comic the kid was reading was just stupid. The animated sequences were cool but would have been better as a stand-alone, it was as if Snyder was trying to make a comic book movie inside of a comic book movie.
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
I found it to be exactly like Snyder's other films. Incredibly looooong, with terrible writing, and excessive style that fell totally flat because she did not give a *beep* about the cardboard characters or paint by numbers plot.

Nah. They were infinitively better than crap like Iron Man 3 or Age of Ultron. In my opinion, of course. Since, unlike you, I know about such thing as opinion and fact.

My question to you is Mr. Triggered, why are you making this a Marvel vs DC thing?

For a guy (aka you) who is known for making and supporting threads that do have "Marvel vs DC thing" going on, this question amuses me.

Watchmen and Dark Knight Rises are on par with the worst MCU offering but you have to ask yourself how good are the worst MCU offerings.

Hardly. The worst MCU movies is devastating crap like Iron Man 2 and Thor The Dark World. And those crap-fests have no redeeming qualities. The Dark Knight Rises sits at 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. So it definitely puts it into the same category with the best MCU movies. Since I know how much you love to rely on ratings from Rotten Tomatoes.

New Line was not a WB subsidiary, it was a Time Warner subsidiary. That would be like saying Marvel is a Pixar subsidiary.

That falls under animation. I am more or less thinking and talking about live action films.

Yes its animation but as it is going to be a major cinema release I included it as an entry. The sad truth is that DC seem to be much better at producing animations than they do live action films.

Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
For the love of God, Superman 1 n 2 were not produced by Warner Brothers only distributed by Warner Brothers. Man of Steel is a divisive film that is nowhere near "genuinely good" status. TKDR is an OK movie at best.
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
MOS has its vocal haters I think because of the necksnap scene. However, it showed a realistic take on how society would react to a super powered alien who was living among them and how tough of an adjustment it would be for said alien. Plus, it was visually amazing. I don't understand why some attitudes towards TDKR have changed these last few years.
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
It's not just because of the neck snap scene. That movie had more problems than just that, pacing issues, bland color palette, questionable scenes, just to mention a few.
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
However, it showed a realistic take on how society would react to a super powered alien who was living among them
When?
I mean, I know it told us that society probably wouldn't like it a couple of times, but when did it show us society reacting?
The only instances I can recall seeing a part of society who was aware of a super powered alien really reacting to it were:
Lois Lane - inquisitive and horny.
The military - suspicious, and one horny.
Survivors - "he saved us!"
I know that sentiment has been bandied about since before MoS was released, yet I can't seem to recall seeing society in that movie reacting to a super powered alien living among them.

Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
The necksnap is understandable considering he was just learning and Zod was about to fry a few people. From what I have read, he has killed in comics. As for the other issues, did you not see the scenes of him growing up where he had sensory issues and when he was bullied? What about when he ended up arrested by military? And when they sent satellites to spy on him? I understand they went overboard with the destruction and the flashbacks got a little annoying. But, I saw past those and the movie really came together for me. For a polarizing movie, it has pretty good audience ratings. I loved it myself m. Of course, we can disagree.
Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go

That wasn't society reacting to a super powered alien.
That was a small number of people reacting to a troubled boy.
What about when he ended up arrested by military? And when they sent satellites to spy on him?
Those were the military doing their job. Detaining a potential threat, and gathering intelligence.
Still didn't see society reacting to a super powered alien.

Re: Only 4 out of the 20 DC films WB has produced have genuinely been go
The Military didn't even detain him, he surrendered voluntarily, as said by Clark himself, "whatever makes them feel safe".

It has been a while since I watched MOS but I don't ever really remember seeing society really react to the presence of Superman did we ever see the effect it had on religion as his existence would really undermine a lot of belief systems or the effects he would have had on education the laws of physics etc. I only ever remember seeing the effects of the existence of Superman had on society barely being touched on and in the most simplistic of manners when it was.

It was kind of hard to deal with all those issues on day 1 of Superman's existence so It really never was dealt with until Batman v Superman 18 months after Man of Steel.
