    What's ironic is that Nolan's The Dark Knight is one of the best comic book films ever made because it did not follow a comic but rather did its own thing. But yeah WB just haven't been able to get things right recently. I love Suicide Squad with all its characters, storyline but of course it needs a better edited cut instead of the way they edited it with all the scenes being very short.
    Suicide Squad is perhaps the most closest thing to being like an actual comic book but of course: people didn't like the pacing of it because it wasn't "film quality like" compared to Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy.

      Actually, Dark Knight had a lot in common with the comic story "The Killing Joke".

        Problem is you can't really do the Nolan formula too often and expect it to be successful for long. Nolan took out a lot of comic material from the movie and made it realistic and it worked but I doubt people would have kept munching up that formula if DC kept at it. Especially when they started introducing superpowered individuals to the movie.

          Yes. I do expect it to be lighter than BvS, I still want it to have the dark tone to it. That was never the problem. The problem is simply the writing. That is it.

              Third they pretty much stated that to be the case. I think they need to simplify a bit when it comes to the script as well. BvS was trying to do way too much. I still did like the film, though.

                    I don't mind if they bring in some levity, especially since they have a larger group dynamic, but I want it to be organic.

                      This, but given WB meddling in SS, I really don't think they can help themselves.

                          So that really happened w BvS? I remember reading about that. That's just rediculouse. WB is a strange production company, one of the most successful but at times over compensates and does weird sh@t.

                            No, that happened with SS. With BvS what happened was they had a 3 hour cut (the Ultimate Edition/Director's Cut) which the studio was okay with, then they got cold feet and chopped out 30 minutes last minute.
                            I was making the joke about the editing because they wanted to make SS lighter.

                              I keep hearing the term "dark tone". As much as I love a film on the "darker" side, I'm still learning what that means.. Nolans trilogy and BvS were both "dark" but what made Chris's films feel heavier is the maturity and creativity behind them, they are just better films. I think WB trying to constantly live up to nolanverse is silly because they are comparing all the wrong aspects.

                                  Actually, you can if you emphasize his role as leader of the most powerful and feared nation in the world and his political differences with his half brother Orm and extremists such as the Deluge. Basically, make a political thriller with superheroics.

                                      No, they tried that with BVS and it didn't work. Zack Snyder is no Chris Nolan so he should stop aping him. Let the DC characters have fun for once.
                                      Whatever you are, be a good one.
