10 Reasons Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Might Just Be Awesome
10. The Customer Isnt Always Right
That people are going after this movie based on preconceived notions of what might be wrong with something they know next to nothing about is pretty dumb, even by Internet standards. Fortunately, fanboy condemnation has never been so rabid nor utterly, incontrovertibly wrongheaded as where Batman is concerned. Charge up your flux capacitors and go back to the future of 1988, when the casting of Michael Keaton as Batman resulted in the Warner Bros. mailbag splitting open with tens of thousands of letters of complaint from irate fans. They were certain that Keaton, then known for his comedy chops and little else, was entirely the wrong choice to play Bruce Wayne/Batman, and they were certainly entirely mistaken. Jump forward to July 2006, and Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker, by which point the world had found a new, decidedly more convenient and vicious way to complain about movie casting. We dont even have to go into how far off the mark a lot of people were on that one. And lets not forget January 2011, when Anne Hathaway was cast as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises and the malcontents poured hot lava on the news, only to discover she was one of the best things in it. The moral of the story? When so-called fans get pissy about a forthcoming Batman movie, theyre urinating into the wind, and its usually a portent of good things to come.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
