warning this video contains spoilers for Batman V Superman dawn of Justice black and blue God vs Man day versus night Batman vs Superman represents an effort to build a fictional universe to rival that of Marvel's Avengers but how successful is the first DC Metaverse movie with me as rich train home we're going to talk a little bit around that we've both seen Batman vs Superman what do you think about the efforts that the Warner Brothers and DC have put into this how do you think it works I think it sort of works I mean the thing is to remember is that as the Marvel had like five movies before they got to the Avengers they had solo movies for most of the Avengers so to Iron Man movies to Iron Man movies The Hulk movie which most people don't talk about bitter it kk on city council and it's kind of funny to remember now the how much of a gamble Iron Man and Captain America really were but um yeah but DC doesn't have that luxury of having like a bunch of movies to the proven hits they've had to go straight in there they've got man of steel I don't have to go straight in there so putting Batman and Superman together is one thing and I think they most that really well in terms of bringing those two characters together in a sort of quite an interesting conflict then they've also got to fit in all these other characters and it does kind of it had so much weight to the movie and there's a lot of times in in in dawn of justice when something happens and you kind of have to sort of adjust and go okay that's probably going to make sense in 2020 right thing yeah but hopefully it kind it takes you a little bit at the experience doesn't it because you are while you're watching it you are sort of aware but you're not just really watching batman vs superman you are watching DC vs marvel yeah it's a sort of old school yard argument but now again writ large on the silver screen so obviously i mean there's an element here is an air of sort of you know movie studios looking at what sort of Disney and Marvel have done and being a bit sort of envious you know looking over your neighbor's fence and me like nice you've got and no maybe I should buy bigger no I think but you you do sort of wander is it the right approach to basically try and do the same thing I part of me was wondering with bearing in mind that the Avengers did that super super hero smashing spectacle a film with like a mil Ian people in it they actually pulled that off quite well first we wondered maybe would it be better to take a different approach and try and make equally successful and good and popular movies maybe the different maybe like a quieter more sort of indie kind of angle I don't know but does it basically what I'm asking is does Batman vs Superman have to be a blockbuster is that a stupid question does it have to be basically the Avengers but with different characters oh that's this yeah maybe baton of superman' could be like they just got hang out and coffee shop together yeah black and white yeah they smoke and talk about yeah and they've been jilted by their girlfriends and yeah he's likely they talk about Louis and yeah maybe I I I think that that that one of the things that the DC also hasn't done is that that feeling of like looking over the neighbor's fence and and going all quick we've gotta you know we've got to get a new car or something but they haven't resurfaced the drive first which is what immuno Marvel have done in Marvel has a very unified vision and so that's why you've got the movies you've got the Avengers movies you've got the Netflix shows and they all kind of slot together but they're all their own thing whereas DC has got like it's got the flash and arrow on TV and then it's got the movies which are a very very different tone and style it doesn't feel kind of us as thought through in it and has put together but that said I really kind of enjoyed this sort of the dark vision of the DC Universe it's certainly certainly I think aimed at comic fans and I I enjoyed the kind of the grown-up pneus of it but the other thing that it's lacking that Marvel really has is the kind of the fantasy and the joy and the escapism that will appeal to to all ages in terms of making these yet beloved characters appeal to two kids and two grownups and to you know have a bit of escapism a bit of joy to them well we're going to keep this discussion going down the pub but I think but let us know what you think as well guys it sure is a good time to be a comic book fan alright that's all for now stay tuned to see net
