I saw Age of Ultron. No spoilers.<\/p>\n
It was a good movie. There were a few things that made me go “Meh” but I’m a big girl, I can deal with it. Besides, RDJ was a delight. I could have watched a whole extra hour and a half featuring Tony Stark (Iron Man 4 perchance?).<\/p>\n
Anyways, during the trailers there was one for the Batman versus Superman movie.<\/p>\n
I was all “Ugh” about the latest character reboot, but that trailer looked good. Maybe DC will finally have a good movie. Though I worry that they’re going to keep going super dark without going deep into the characters.<\/p>\n
I’m sorry, but the Dark Knight series was some pretty dark stuff. Yet we didn’t get very much character exploration for all the angst and murder.<\/p>\n
I enjoyed Michael Keaton’s Batman. He was a bit clumsy and absent-minded as Bruce Wayne which enabled people to believe his scatter brained rich guy pose. Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne was a bit too aggressive to me. There was a definite Patrick Bateman vibe about him.<\/p>\n
That’s what I want. I want a story where some girl is talking to her friends about how she thinks Bruce Wayne might be a serial killer. She watches shows like Criminal Minds and CSI and she put the evidence together herself.<\/p>\n
And then, because of her planting the idea, other people begin to notice the oddities of Bruce Wayne. He can’t go out as Batman because people are watching him 24\/7 and he starts getting frustrated, which ups the serial killer vibe around him.<\/p>\n
I think a silly story would be good, but a good long darkfic could be good too as long as there’s a happy ending at the end. (I like reading happy endings.)<\/p>\n
I think that’s the greatest sin: an unsatisfactory ending.<\/p>\n
There’s no pain like following some series for twelve books only to have the story crap out on you. There’s a reason fanfiction was invented, and it wasn’t entirely people wanting to spend more time with the characters. To spend that much time and money only to be disappointed–people start feeling a need to correct the situation.<\/p>\n
I think endings were made to be unmade. Because what is every ending but just another new beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
