I will be getting around to my review of the Dark Knight rises, I just hate typing on this iPad, so it,s one of those unless the muse hits and I just gotta get out type things when it comes to using it for a first draft anyway some rather alarming developments. Involving this film and I'm not talking about the shooting which is another blog In and of its self .the studio seems to be surpressing news in regards to the film, first off we have two ddifferent death situations surrounding the movie, not too mention how Christian bale had a melt down and beat up his mom who worked as a clown after filming the last movie, we can refer to as dark knight and the new one arise going forward here. After reading reviews on rotten tomatoes it was clear money changed hands somewhere as their were multiple negative reviews on the site marked as fresh, studios surpressing reviewsis nothing new as. In today's climate something like that effects box office, it's not the first time this has happened.
It seems strange to me a bigger deal isnt being made out of how avengers stomped rises, think in geek circles that omething noteworthy even in the dc vs marvel board, but you have to google long and hard to find anything pertaining to you and E online article on five reasons the Avengers is better than Rises and multiple articles sight that it comes in 3rd behind the avengers and a harry potter film, but doesn't point out how big of a deal that Bat-man is being dethroned. What it means is we do not give a fuck about realism in our superheroes and want them closer to the comic books because they are fun and not a deep social commentary, lesson even comic writers could stand to learn from.
One thing I used to like about old school rap was when they called whack rappers out, granted most of them went on to become voters in children's movies or producers, it was a form of quality control when these entertainers were more underground. Where is that in comic culture? I seem to remember it existing, as I remember more loyalty in a Beatles vs rolling stones since when it came to marvel vs d/c. ...I think this goes into how new comic culture is less vested in their lotIt's a consumers market and the power of the fan should be speaking volumes. We have a voice and companies listen, don't think message boards on superhero hype aren't taken into consideration as they know we spend our money on their product not because we have to but because we are passionate about the characters.
A mainstream or muggle audience won't know the difference if something gels with these characters or not, we do and in the past we were verbal about it, but we have been flooded with movies at this point so it seemed like heroin users we have built up a tolerance , we take the dope not caring bout the quality. I think Marvel gets this and in the media sense is more catering to the fan as far as what marvel studios puts out. Dc on the other hand tried it with Green Lantern too little success and I see them wanting to keep the Nolan ghost attached to future efforts judging from what I have seen of the Man of Steel ,which is going to be a Clark Kent therapy session. Nolan is no Joss Whedon, he could give a shit about the fans who he expects to bow to his artistic vision , and a lot of you do, for reasons unknown as I cant imagine why it's acceptable to be apologetic about making a super hero movie. But when you are tired of the majority of the movie being. About Bruce Wayne and Clark kent and want to see super heroes, wit til it comes on line to waste your time and don't cast an empty vote with your wallet
