Brokeback Krypton

.
The Twitter memes are already strong with this new super-gay shot from Batman v Superman, and I don't foresee 'em slowing down any time soon - they really leaned into this one. But bless their hearts for going there - this is the first hint of humor I've felt from a relentlessly dour ad campaign.

Anyway I did just buy myself a ticket to the movie when they went on sale earlier this week, even though I am dreading it - I defended Zack Snyder way longer than most people seemed to (well except for the people at Warner Brothers, apparently) but Man of Steel was an abomination, and adding my nemesis Ben Affleck to the roster for Take Two ain't a sign-post towards redemption from where I'm standing. But we will see!

(And I'm clearly going into it with a SUPER open mind.)

Am I the only one who thinks Zach is hot? There aren't many shirtless pics of him though.

Why so much hate for Affleck? He's not hideous looking, nor is he a terrible actor.

You can't go into a movie dreading it. There's no way that feeling won't taint your experience. At least TRY and go into it with a (somewhat super) open mind. :)

I hate Snyder's films so much (the only one I somewhat enjoyed was the Dawn of the Dead remake), and I was elated to learn that he will NOT be directing the stand-alone film of my beloved Wonder Woman

Drew - actually, low expectations has helped many film experiences for me. At least then you can be pleasantly surprised.

I agree that low expectations are a good thing. But that's different than going into a movie expecting to hate it.
