But DC's willingless to let this relationship play out via (in their eyes) two lower tier characters on a lower tier platform (and their concern over presenting conflicting interpretations of characters across different mediums) makes me worried they have no interest in developing that kind of relationship between the cinematic Batman and Superman. <br /><br /><i>Plus, Arrow is often a little too on the nose in terms of its flashbacks mirroring dilemmas in the present day</i><br /><br />Indeed. If anything, the flashback structure is probably my biggest gripe with the show. As much as it does occasionally parallel the events in the present elegantly, more often than not it's a clumsy thematic connection and little else. <br /><br />I wouldn't want the show to ditch it entirely, because it can be useful (and there is some fun to be had in filling in Oliver's "island" years) but I would like to see them be more willing to occasionally abandon it than they are now. <br /><br /><i>And I simply love seeing these characters hang<br />out in costume, bonding, comparing notes, however exciting the action sequences<br />may be</i><br /><br />Ditto. <br /><br /><i> Batman v. Superman: Rise of Justice is not the title of a movie based on comic books; it's the title of a videogame based<br />on a court case based on comic books.</i><br /><br />Ha! <br /><br />Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-76488900940001674742015-02-21T23:46:12.931-05:002015-02-21T23:46:12.931-05:00A 21st entry thanks to rumination on a comment fro...A 21st entry thanks to rumination on a comment from my friend the Humanebean: Bacharach Counterpoint.Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-40700125559851369242014-12-10T21:54:50.102-05:002014-12-10T21:54:50.102-05:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-29502149067673883482014-12-10T01:45:22.027-05:002014-12-10T01:45:22.027-05:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.El Quéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853255978667966997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-5330084928355533622014-12-10T00:53:19.404-05:002014-12-10T00:53:19.404-05:00This comment has been hidden from the blog.Arbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366836660775218956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4504827047542759744.post-71444515538797939942014-11-03T00:08:27.326-05:002014-11-03T00:08:27.326-05:00Superman got the most favorites and RTs on Twitter...<br>Superman got the most favorites and RTs on Twitter, but <i>The Walking Dead</i> was the most popular on Tumblr.
