Finally saw Avengers

Go on, you need a second viewing anyway. The 2nd reveal is a cherry on top of the sundae. Just a great way to wrap it up.

At the end of the day, I doubt Marvel/Disney or WB will be crying over how much money they didn't make on Batman and the Avengers. Big wins either way whether you're in the DC or Marvel camp.

Exactly my point...

Oh I have no doubt all of these Summer comic movies will rake in huge amounts of cash. My point was not financial in nature. I'm talking about film quality. WB has a looooooong way to go before they reach the level of moviemaking we have witnessed in Avengers.

The DK films, which I think have been superb BTW, are not truly comic movies, kind of the way Blade isn't. Nolan's films are dark, thriller action pieces with psychological twists featuring characters inspired by comics. It's obvious in the previews for the upcoming film, but when has anyone ever used the word...fun...with Nolan's work? You couldn't even use the word fun for Singer's Superman. I didn't dislike the film but it fell way short of what it could have been. There was no joy, no reverence. Even Green Lantern went dark and broody. Someone at WB had best crack open a comic or two and figure out how they are going to proceed cause they are about to get left far, far behind.
