Fans of the idea of the S&B movie and of BC and SS please know I mean no disrespect to you personally. I think they're interesting characters and you absolutely had a right to want this movie. But I personally think it's a good thing it's dropped. How many different movie franchises are we seeing pumping out stuff at the rate of Marvel, taking shortcuts to try and build their universe off of characters that no one (in the general audience not comic fans) has a vested interest in? It's my complaint about the DCU and it's my complaint about Sony's Spider-Man universe.or whatever it is trying to be. Sure superhero movies are first and foremost action movies, visual and special effects buffets. But if you don't care about the characters, you're ultimately not going to be left feeling empty. No matter how many virtual crab rangoons you eat. And without movies doing the heavy lifting of character development before tossing out tons of spin offs, that's all there is. Empty visual calories.
