I dissappear for a month, and find a new General thread in the old one's place. What a time to be alive. Glad to see everyone's still in one piece.

I don't think George Clooney was that bad as Batman. Batman & Robin sucked so badly because the studio wanted a kids movie that will sell toys. George Clooney and Uma Thurman are the only ones from that movie that didn't have their career ruined.

My point still stands. He's a good actor. Just as Robert Pattinson is. Batman & Robin was made to sell merchandise to pre-teen boys, much like how the Twilight films were made to sell merchandise and books to teenage girls. You have a case where two franchises picked two talented actors to play roles that were written terribly and somehow made it out relatively unscathed. Now it's come full circle as Batman has proved itself to be a serious viable franchise that can win awards and is now going for a talented actor who was in a franchise that suffered similarly to Batman & Robin. The tale of two Batmen.

Hell, at the time RDJ was hired, he was considered box office poison that would tank any film.
People had no faith in Evans because he made a niche for himself in shitty comedies. To go back even further, no one had faith in Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, since he was mostly known for his performances in musical theater. And if we want to go even further beyond, horror icon Robert Englund, who was the OG Freddy Krueger, was considered to soft and lovable to believably portray a supernatural killer. Robert Pattinson's best work wasn't Twilight, by far. But he's proven himself to be a real actor with great talent when given a script that isn't utter shit. Yeah, it's kind of hard to portray him as a martial artist when the man is basically wearing twice his body weight in armor. Quote:
Sounds sexy.
Have you seen any of this other movies? He was amazing in The Lighthouse. He's a talented actor. Don't let one role an actor played ruin everything for you. Otherwise George Clooney would have no career and the Batman franchise would have died in the 1990's. Quote:

That's them, like, marking their target? I think it's a combination of turning on their powers and calling someone out. That's how I read it, anyway.

It's more a prayer/ritual sort of thing. Killing humans is a Sin, but one that they must carry out to destroy the Agito -- so their doing the sign is something akin to "Forgive me for my sin, Father".
