On March 25th, this year's most anticipated superhero blockbuster "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will be released. Sitting on superheroes with great influence such as Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, etc., DC has not been as popular as the old rival Marvel in the film market in recent years. Marvel's "Avengers" series of films have turned its first-line superheroes into box office weapons, and now they have begun the second-tier extension through films such as "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Ant-Man", which means Marvel’s cinematization is on a virtuous cycle. At least in the next ten years, audiences may be aesthetically tired of superheroes, but Marvel will never have the problem of unsustainable characters. The life of DC is relatively not so easy. The only two giants who can really get the movie superhero are Batman and Superman, and Nolan no longer participates in directing after the "Batman" trilogy, "Superman" There is only one after the restart by director Zach Schneider, and the "Green Lantern" starring Ryan Reynolds a few years ago is even more a fighter in the bad film. Watching Marvel's huge profits in superhero movies, how can DC executives not be anxious to get angry? After paying a lot of price for strategic mistakes, DC also seriously began the construction of its universe system. This more than two years of script "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" can be described as the beginning of the DC universe. However, for viewers who are not familiar with the history of American comics, especially DC comics, it is best to understand and straighten out the origins and relationships of the characters in the film in advance. If you just be a spectator who appreciates the visual effects, the entertainment effect of the movie will be greatly reduced.
1. Why can Nolan not photograph Zach Schneider?
Christopher Nolan took over "Batman" and opened the second spring of this almost festering film series. In 1997, "Batman and Robin" directed by Joe Schumacher became a joke in the industry. Even the lead actor George Clooney reluctantly said, "This is really a wonderful film that can't be played well." In the following years, no one dared. Move the hot potato of Batman until Nolan gives Batman a real dark black color. In Nolan’s "Dark Knight" trilogy, the second is the pinnacle that is difficult to surpass, especially Heath Ledger, who played the "Joker". Because of his death, this version of the Joker can only be imitated. A swan song that cannot be surpassed. Nolan used the "Dark Knight" to be a god, but he had already retired in the third part, especially the appalling shooting of "The Dark Knight Rises" at the Denver premiere in 2012. Nolan made a public announcement. "Farewell letter", while expressing my anger, write: "Heath Ledger, Christian Bale... these names mean too much to me, and now it’s time to finally say goodbye. Shooting three'Batman' movies is the most challenging and rewarding experience for filmmakers."
