Make up your mind. Either he knows these things, or he doesn't. Either way, it's a dumb-ass premise for a movie.
You need to reset the electrodes on your neck, Frankie. Those statements don't cancel each other out. They don't contradict each other.
Here, maybe this will help you out:
Man of Steel director Zack Snyder has spoken out about his film's very controversial ending, noting that its consequences will be a major factor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
"I was surprised because that’s the thesis of Superman for me, that you can’t just have superheroes knock around and have there be no consequences," Snyder told EW when asked about the movie's destruction-heavy conclusion.
According to Snyder, the consequences of that ending will be a key piece of the story in Dawn of Justice, and will serve as part of Batman's motivation to take down the Man of Steel.
Batman actor Ben Affleck echoed the director's sentiment, saying: "One of the things I liked was Zack’s idea of showing accountability and the consequences of violence and seeing that there are real people in those buildings. And in fact, one of those buildings was Bruce Wayne’s building so he knew people who died in that Black Zero event."

We've no idea if he'll really be shot like in the comics. The movies have not been 100% faithful to the source movie. (In the comics, Tony Stark didn't create Ultron.)
No, it's not. It's the dramatic event in the middle of the third act that provides the catalyst for Bucky to become a hero rather than an antagonist. And, that would set him up to being in the third Avengers movie - in place of Captain America.
Blah. When Bucky becomes Cap, it'll be at the tail end of a movie (denouement), when he dons the suit and they call "Cut!" Then he'll have his own movie. They may do the same for Arno Stark, but RDJ hasn't announced he's stepping down from milking that phat Marvel cash cow.
Monker wrote:As for being shot...it doesn't matter. Captain America will die. How it happens is irrelevent.
Is that so? I'm glad you're not doctoring the script. We'd probably see Steve get depressed over Peggy all over again and down a bunch of pills.
No, Cap — the symbol of America, the "living legend," being shot — you know,
what happened in the comic, the same one of which copies reportedly traded for up to $1000 the week of its release — would be much more dramatic than his getting hit by a street sweeper driven by a guy doing a Tommy Chong impression with a roach clip.

Not worried about it. The Trinity is nearly here.
Monker wrote: Hype doesn't get $1 Billion in sales.
No, worldwide ticket sales equal $1B, but "some hype don't hurt, da old man say." We'll see what happens in nine months.

I literally laughed aloud when I read this. I don't which remote corner of backwater USA you reside in, but I'm surprised you have access to the Internet over there. You've no idea how wrong you are. The San Diego Comic Con, aka SDCC, is forever ingrained in the bedrock of pop culture as of
years ago. When major news networks cover it, when you hear it referenced by Letterman and Jon Stewart, when Metallica chooses to stage a concert in the Gas Lamp Quarter the week of SDCC, when freakin' Conan O'Brien is going to do a bunch of shows this week in San Diego
during Comic Con...yeah, more people know of it than you think. People from as far away as Oz and Japan come to this thing. Downtown San Diego is transformed into a geek mecca. Events in the Gas Lamp and across town take place concurrently (some of it actually irks the Con organizers, because they attract people who weren't able to get into the main event). San Diego has been trying to keep SDCC from leaving for another city because the week of the event is the single biggest revenue draw of a twelve-month cycle for the city. I could go on, but you have a number of search engines at your fingertips. Use 'em.

You're in the minority on that one — especially where
The Dark Knight is concerned — and you know it.
No, I don't know that. I think the general opinion is that "Dark Knight Rises" set a bar that the other two did not reach.
Nope, a lot of people think
Rises didn't quite meet the line
TDK set.
Rises is the most ambitious of the three movies, but it's the most flawed.
The Dark Knight is regarded as the overall best of the trilogy by most, though many people (just not
as many) prefer
Begins.
Monker wrote:...but neither were even close to the Joker...and he took that movie to a special place.
And there you go.
Monker wrote:That has nothing to do with what I said. It's not a Dark Knight movie - therefore it is a reboot no matter what. Even if you had Nolan in there, they way the third movie ended would FORCE a reboot.
Overstating the obvious. Nobody said this Batman is the same as Nolan's. Because he isn't. Heck, he's
older. Yes, this is
all reboot territory.
Man of Steel was the inaugural event. The new DCCU begins there.
Monker wrote:Oh, grow up. You made the comparison.
No, I showed which character is the T&A queen, thanks to Marvel. That nice close-up of her ass that Whedon gave you in
Avengers? Yeah. That's right. ScarJo is T&A girl. That's why I wrote what I wrote (read it again), and posted the pix.
Monker wrote:If you are going to compare Wonder Woman and Black Widow then you either have to lower Wonder Woman to a third string superhero, or raise Black Widow to the A list. If you don't do one or the other, you have no point.

Monker wrote: Second I read an interview with Kevin Fiege where he said Black Panther and Captain Marvel were selected based on fan input and how well they fit into what they had already done and had planned.
Don't believe everything you hear. Feige is a channel for Marvel Entertainment's film division through which everything is filtered. He has input, yes, but he's more a spokesman. Captain Marvel is one of the second-tier characters they have to go with, because, as I said, the first-tier women — Sue Storm, Black Cat, Jean Grey and all the rest of the mutants — are locked up at Fox. And Wasp? I don't know WTF they're doing with her in
Ant-Man, but I have a feeling I won't like it when I see it. I'm not even sold on buying a theater ticket to that one.

Says the guy who makes self-contradictory statements, shows ignorance of certain characters and concepts, and loves to argue for the sake of arguing when the horse's corpse is on its way to the glue factory.
