Everybody hates a quitter.

N3buchadnezzar

Nice to have seen it for the culture references and to be educated.

@EBrown You miss 100% of the shots you do not take.

EBrown

@N3buchadnezzar Exactly.

Best way to cure a hangover: don't stop drinking.

Phrancis

lol

EBrown

WTF

That was hilarious.

Lex Luthor is a dick, but he's just the right kind of dick.

He makes such a good bad guy.

What is he doing with an egg timer?

This Lex Luthor is way better than the animated Justice League one.

Woah

Plot twist: Lex Luthor is a way bigger dick than I thought.

Lex Luthor knows Superman's secret identity.

Now I know what the egg timer is for.

And why this movie sucked.

And it makes so much sense.

N3buchadnezzar

Too many plots?

EBrown

10:05 PM

No, just the right amount.

They just weren't introduced properly.

N3buchadnezzar

Sucked because Hollywood and it was made to make $$?

EBrown

This actor who played Lex Luthor would have been a way better Riddler.

OMG

TELL ME THIS LADY IS WONDER WOMAN

YES

> From: Wayne, Bruce
Subject: Boys Share Too

Email to Wonder Woman.

OMG THE FLASH

That's not Barry.

Aquaman?

Now I see what's happening.

Justice League.

Cyborg?

Wut

YOU GUYS HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE

SO MUCH JUST HAPPENED IN ~2 MINUTES.

Clark Kent knows Batman's secret identity.

N3buchadnezzar

EBrown

WHAT

BATMAN WINS

IN A <2 MINUTE BATTLE?

SO LAME

Turning it off.

EBrown

@Phrancis NO THIS IS INTENSE NOW

Battle continues

Superman is getting his arse kicked.

Majorly.

Batman outsmarted him badly.

Oh snap, Superman is back to full strength.

Nope, only partial strength.

Now he's full strength.

RUN BRUCE WAYNE

Batman is awesome now.

<3

Phrancis

Hi

EBrown

Damn

Phrancis

Got someone on Code Review primary chat room going on and on about Batman vs. Superman, I was wondering if it would be OK to move the messages here, since that seems to be on-topic for this room

EBrown

OMG Batman had plans this whole time.

KutuluMike

is the user gonna come with it?

and more importantly, did he like it?

Phrancis

10:18 PM

Not certain, I can ask

EBrown

OH HOLY CARP

KutuluMike

cuz if he liked it, that would be awesome.

Phrancis

He has an apparent Love/Hate relationship with the movie :)

EBrown

Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent both had mothers named Martha.

YOU GUYS HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE

in The 2nd Monitor, 23 mins ago, by EBrown

Oh god this movie sucks now.

EBrown

10:21 PM

Apparently, if you have a mother named Martha, Batman makes you his BFF.

Phrancis

So @KutuluMike would that be OK to move them here?

KutuluMike

fine by me, we're pretty dead at the moment.

Phrancis

OK

Hey @EBrown I'll move all these messages to a SF&F room which they have specifically for topics like this (i.e. Superheroes/Marvel/DC/etc.)

EBrown

I would just move them to the Nth.

I don't need SF&F people pinging me.

Phrancis

The OP wanted them moved to Code Review's no-topic room, thanks all the same though

KutuluMike

10:34 PM

works for me.

he's more than welcome to some here and like BvS, it's always good for some drama

Phrancis

OK great I'll let him know!

EBrown

I was told to bring my BvS here.

Phrancis

Speaking of which... lol

KutuluMike

yes. especially if you liked it. please make sure to tell @DrRDizzle how awesome it was!

EBrown

I feel like he doesn't like it.

WONDER WOMAN

OMG BEST DAY EVER

Personally, I like the Lex Luthor in this movie way more than the Justice League animated series Lex Luthor.

KutuluMike

10:38 PM

yes, wonder woman was the best part of the movie.

Phrancis

@EBrown I can still move the messages to here instead, if you like, now that they are all in one big block it's really easy

EBrown

@Phrancis Go for it.

KutuluMike

@EBrown ew. Lex Luthor in this movie was terrible.

like, easily worst thing about the movie. totally miscast.

EBrown

I don't know, I liked his level of crazy.

Like, he's basically the Joker for Superman.

He's completely nuts.

KutuluMike

yes but he's not supposed to be CRAZY

EBrown

10:39 PM

No?

KutuluMike

he's supposed to be a genius

EBrown

(I never read the comics.)

Phrancis

Okay, brace yourselves

EBrown

@KutuluMike He's a crazy genius.

EBrown

10:40 PM

I will admit, I think the actor would have been more appropriately cast as The Riddler.

KutuluMike

the actor was miscast, and was playing the same character he did in every other movie.

he was like, playing himself playing luthor

EBrown

What other movies was he in?

KutuluMike

he was in the Facebook movie.

EBrown

Never saw that one. (Also not planning on it.)

KutuluMike

and Now You See Me

EBrown

10:41 PM

Ah, I saw that one.

KutuluMike

and the one about the pothead secret agent

Phrancis

When an actor is so iconic that he plays himself eh

KutuluMike

plus, most of his dialogue was cringeworthy.

EBrown

My question is: why is The Flash in Batman vs. Superman not the same one from the TV series?

KutuluMike

because they don't want the characters to be the same.

EBrown

10:42 PM

What, why?

KutuluMike

the movie Flash isn't going to be happy-go-lucky.

EBrown

:(

KutuluMike

the movies and the TV universes are totally separate.

EBrown

I like Barry.

KutuluMike

the same reason the suicide squad characters aren't played by the same people that played them in Arrow

EBrown

10:43 PM

I'm about to favourite this room.

@KutuluMike Is that movie out yet?

Phrancis

I'm out for now, ping me if you need me for anything

KutuluMike

no, coming out in the fall.

EBrown

Gah, I want to see it so badly.

KutuluMike

but Harley Quinn, and Deadshot, and Katana, and Amanda Waller are all in it, and not the same people.

EBrown

Blech, I guess I can get by that.

I haven't seen all of Arrow yet anyway.

I've seen the first season, and like, half, of the second.

KutuluMike

10:44 PM

you probably haven't gotten to the ARGUS stuff yet, then.

EBrown

I only watched it because I loved his appearances in The Flash series. (Only saw the first season of that, as well.)

@KutuluMike ARGUS?

KutuluMike

might have seen amanda waller

EBrown

Who?

KutuluMike

the agency that the suicide squad works for

EBrown

It's been months since I've watched it.

Oh no

Lex Luthor is in jail.

And they're shaving his head.

Clark Kent is dead?

BS

Now I'm mad. While Superman was 100% a dick in this movie, I still don't want him dead.

Phrancis

10:49 PM

BTW, @EBrown I don't think all Marvel superhero movies/shows are lame, I liked Daredevil and Jessica Jones on Netflix

EBrown

Haven't seen either of those.

Phrancis

I think Jessica Jones in particular is really good (and it's short enough, only 1 season)

EBrown

THIS MOVIE IS SO LONG

I should not have watched the "Ultimate Edition" or w/e it's called.

KutuluMike

I think, we can all safely assume that Superman is not "dead"

EBrown

Just like Batman wasn't dead at the end of The Dark Knight Rises?

KutuluMike

10:51 PM

they're planning Justice League movies out for years.

Superman's going to have to be in them

EBrown

He better be.

And Batman and Wonder Woman better get together this time.

The whole Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series' not getting Batman and Wonder Woman together totally pissed me off.

Those two are a perfect couple.

Like, 100% adorable.

OH SNAP

BATMAN IS VISITING LEX LUTHOR IN PRISON?

KutuluMike

the canonical DC couple has always been Diana + Kal El

EBrown

Wut

No

KutuluMike

whenever it wasn't Superman+Lois it was Superman+WW

EBrown

Superman + Lois Lane, Batman + Wonder Woman.

Lex Luthor is nuts.

Hah, he flipped that painting over after all.

So that the devil comes down from the sky.

It's over? Just like that?

Took 2 hours and 24 minutes?

Wait

Did I watch the wrong movie?

KutuluMike

10:56 PM

no, sounds like the right one.

EBrown

I think I watched the Theatrical Cut instead of the Extended Cut.

I WANTED THE EXTENDED CUT DAMNIT

KutuluMike

ewps.

EBrown

Not watching that whole movie again.

Because the Extended Cut is 30 minutes longer.

KutuluMike

i heard it was much better.

EBrown

I'll watch it with my family later.

My Google Play Movies library is actually pretty large.

Ok, since we're on movies right now, has anyone seen the Divergent series?

I need to know if it's worth buying or not.

KutuluMike

10:59 PM

i saw the first one.

never motivated to watch the rest.

EBrown

On a scale of 1-7 how was it?

KutuluMike

if you're a fan of the 'young adult' stuff you'd probably like it.

if twilight is a 1 and hunger games is a 7, it's about a 5

EBrown

I liked The Hunger Games, sadly.

And I thought Maze Runner was alright.

KutuluMike

you'd probably like it then.

same kinda feel.

EBrown

Alright, I'll get the entire series for it then.

KutuluMike

11:00 PM

i really like the lead actress but her character in this movie was kinda bleh

EBrown

Google Play you bastards. I buy the series, and instead of putting them in my library in order, it puts them in some random order.

You hate the robot?

KutuluMike

→ 6 messages moved to Trash

EBrown

I wonder...

KutuluMike

yes. it's being stupid.

EBrown

That's what bots do.

Except mine.

What is this wall thing around this city?

KutuluMike

11:05 PM

?

EBrown

Divergent.

KutuluMike

oh, Divergent?

EBrown

Yeah.

I'm not sure what's happening.

These opening credits are getting in my way.

KutuluMike

they don't really explain it in the movie, you're just supposed to go with it. but I think it's a post-apocalyptic future and they're in a little isolated "perfect city"

EBrown

According to the opening thing

There was a "war"

And the rest of the world (except Chicago) was destroyed.

So they built a wall to keep safe.

KutuluMike

11:07 PM

there are people outside the wall, I think they go outside the wall eventually

EBrown

Oh snap

KutuluMike

but yeah, the outside is supposedly just full of dangerous stuff and they want to keep them out
