The movie could've been better, but I don't think its imperfections ruined it either.

According to rotten tomatoes, the critics think it's worse than spiderman 3, amazing spiderman, iron man 2, even the first Hulk movie. That doesn't make sense to me.

It's better than those movies. It's better than The Dark Knight Rises as well. The story was loose though. Perhaps a more linear version would have worked better. Characters were good though. I liked Superman and Zod, Jor-El and the Kents.

I didn't understand him hiding his secret identity at the end though. It seemed like they all knew who he was and where he lived already.

Not in the league of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Watchmen or Spiderman 2.
Still a 7/10 movie though.

New Agents of Shield.

Damn, DC can't catch a break.

They get Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman and Marvel gets this bad boy.

I would explode (in a good way) if its Nolan's Batman. But I don't think the universes fit together.

It won't be Nolan.... He has stopped, so there will also be a new Batman, as Bale didn't want to do another under anyone else but Nolan

Yeah, the Nolan trilogy has closed the door

TBH I dont really mind. As much as I loved the first 2, the 3rd one and Bales ridiculous voice makes me want a fresh start. That and Id like to see some grey in the suit, not the all black that has been a mainstay for the films. Designed similar to the Arkham series would be perfect

There will be an animated film based on Arkham Asylum I heard, as well as one based on Son of Batman.

I can't see a Superman/Batman film working. Batman won't have any development. Plus it's a Superman series. Batman will just be a supporting character in Superman's world.

Both Marvel and DC seem to be overstepping the mark. This DC shared universe was way too rushed as an answer to the MCU. Meanwhile I thought phase one of the Avengers was good, I'm not sure about phase two. Iron Man 3 was ok but they might be introducing too many characters with Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant Man, Dr Strange and now apparently Ultron for Avengers 2.

Ant man and dr strange are phase 3 movies.

Thor 2 is more stand alone with only captain america 2 being a direct link to avengers age of ultron. Guardians of galaxy sets up phase 3 if anything.

Superman/batman won't be Nolan's batman. That's confirmed.

They are still in the MCU. And it's still being overloaded.

Why do they insist on corrupting the successful Dark Knight trilogy. Man Of Steel was a platform for them to build on a second Man Of Steel. One, hopefully, as successful as the Dark Knight. Bringing, a brand new, Batman into it will just dilute Man Of Steel and tarnish the Dark Knight Trilogy.

The Flash has potential to be great though. Hopefully they steer clear of TDK and MOS as much as possible. Let him build his own character.

Hope quicksilver in the avengers 2 turns out as a successful character.
And its good that Aaron Taylor-Johnson from kick-ass will be playing him. And Evan Peters of kick-ass (main characters mate) is playing quicksilver in xmen days of futures past

How is it overloading? Dr strange will be nothing like any previous movie, ant man might have elements from say iron man and perhaps new cap america as far as action ad sequences go. Thor is its own thing, guardians of the galaxy is their Star Wars in a sense..

MCU is great. Original and fresh and as long as they keep hiring good actors and directors while having good scripts, how can anyone complain? Enjoy it while it lasts I say. By 2017 we'd have seen

Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
The Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians Of The Galaxy
The Avengers: Age Of Ultron
Ant-Man
Dr. Strange: Sorceror Supreme (announced by Feige but not officially)
Black Panther (rumour)
Thor 3 (all but guaranteed)
Captain America 3 (all but guaranteed)
The Indestructible Hulk (rumour)
The Avengers 3
