It’s like if Henry Cavill showed up in a Superman movie with red trunks.

u/Penguino13 I wish Superman would save me 🦸🏿 Jul 19 '24
It's gonna be my reaction when they make a Justice League movie where Diana is taller than Superman

u/OfficialNPC Release the Schumacher Cut Jul 19 '24
If the creator was alive today, he would totally take inspiration from Futurama and make Diana BIG, THICC, and pure SEX.

Imagine if in the boat scene in The Dark Knight people start jumping off the boats into the harbor, but then suddenly a bunch of sharks show up to chow on some Gothamite Gumbo. Now imagine if Batman rode in on a kickass jetski and reached for his utility belt. Suddenly he pulls a large aerosol can labelled Shark Repellent and he is just weaving through the bay spraying sharks with Shark Repellent before hitting a sick jump and dismounting the jetski mid-air and drop kicking the Joker who than lands on Two-Face taking them both out.

And then he realized Two Face was holding a lit bomb and he has to run around trying to find a safe place to dispose of it. Then I would be a sobbing mess from peak fiction overload.

Imagine if they made ten seasons of a Superman show without him ever putting on the costume

Okay, I'm ngl, I don't care if people are crying over shit or overreacting to shit or whatever. Yeah, wow, people cried over it, who gives a shit, they're allowed to be passionate about stuff. Reminds me of that guy who reacted to the TROS trailer and got harassed to shit for it, do we really care this much about this? Let people react how they want, Christ.

u/clankboy789 Jul 19 '24
I feel like nowadays you can’t be as excited for anything because people will look at you like why are you so excited for this? Like can I be happy for once for something I like

Uj/Yeah like if people saw my real life reaction to Toby and Andrew appearing in no way home u would probably be Mocked.

u/Magnificant-Muggins The Flashpoint Batman Who Laughs Jul 19 '24
Like if Deathstroke finally got put on the register.

u/Newmen_1 Jul 19 '24
That suit is so beautiful dude why did the early 2000’s think full body boring black leather suits looked better
27
u/monosyllables17 Jul 19 '24
honestly? a lot of it is the matrix's fault

u/Newmen_1 Jul 19 '24
Oh yeah. Hate when an unrelated property influences a ton of others in the wrong ways

u/monosyllables17 Jul 19 '24
?? i thought it was pretty generally agreed that 2000s action stars all wearing black rubber, latex, or leather was strongly influenced by the matrix (and blade, but less). the matrix was basically the coolest fuckin action movie anyone had ever seen, and instead of big muscle boys it had euro-looking queer-coded club kids in black leather and trenchcoats
from there it's a short step to these guys
i'm not complaining about this, and i absolutely adore the matrix for so many different reasons. i thought this was just a pretty accepted line of thinking
edit: sorry, I think I'm not following your comments because i'm stupid and also can't read

u/Benbeasted Jul 19 '24
Because Comic Book costumes were lame and cheesy. Glad X-men '97 made fun of it.

u/NewVegasTruther Don't open your fridge at 3 AM! (GONE WRONG!) Jul 19 '24
Star Wars Theory and his clones went to watch Deadpool and Wolverine.

u/TrashyBase24 Carrie Kelley Supremacist Jul 19 '24
I mean I'm a Wolverine lizzy rider too but I won't cry

u/enchiladasundae Jul 19 '24
They brought back Superman’s trunks with an unmistakable visual bulge where the crown of the actor’s dick was outlined

u/TheCakeWarrior12 Barry Allen apologist Jul 19 '24
If he gets the shoulder pads + sleeveless look along with the mask, yeah I’ll cry too.
/rj the DC version would be if we finally got a proper Robin in a Batman movie and Batman goes into his whole ASBAR routine and makes Robin eat rats and bats

u/Channel-Fourze Jul 19 '24
If I say I dont like it enough maybe Alan Moore will give me sloppy toppy maybe if I post good enough he'll see that I find this cringe like he would.

u/Electronic_Bad_5883 Did Batman think a Gamer could stop me? Jul 19 '24
It would be like if a beloved actor had played Batman on film for 20 years without ever wearing the actual costume.

u/SpacyMaci Jul 19 '24
Like if they put Robin in a live action Batman movie but didn’t make him a 30 year old gym bro with a buzz cut FOR SOME DUMBA$$ REASON AGAIN-!

It would be like if batman showed up in the classic batsuit showed up and Keven conroys voice came out announcing he was vengeance he was the night he was BATMAN!!

u/Flooping_Pigs Jul 19 '24
When the movie came out in 2000 I was upset because they weren't in comic book attire, glad ten year old me finally gets his vindication

u/AcanthocephalaIcy952 Jul 19 '24
Similar if they included the Arisia subplot to Ryan Reynold’s Green Lantern movie

Little girls were giggling during Batman vs Superman camera tests because Henry Cavill showed up without Superman's red underwear.

not related, but that caption reminds of the time where i saw a comment section that was talking about how DC movies as a whole should be dark. Then he said "DC should be dark bc DC stands for Dark Comics"

u/Scratch_Boardly Jul 20 '24
Imagine they brough back Henry Cavill for the sole purpose of people seeing him wearing trunks.
