Zack Snyder insulted the DC fans who objected to Batman killing in his movies, saying they were, and I quote, "living in a f***ing dreamworld" and other assorted bits of nonsense. Tell us more about the gritty realism of that jar of piss, Zack.

Also, his vocal fans are a bunch of assholes, ranting on and on about his "vision" and how Warner Bros. betrayed him and how superhero movies being optimistic, exciting and fun makes them "homogenized" and "skin-deep". They make me want to put my fist through a wall.

*facepalm* If you don't like the uplifting stories, Zack, go write a downer of your own.

Asshatress. :P

Anyway, aesthetically pleasing or not, this is a big deal. Oh, and by the way, that was convolved with a 20 microarcsecond Gaussian kernel, which is scientific lingo for "a filter has been applied!" :D

I dunno. I feel like "asshat" works for all genders. You just have to be an ass.

You guys may have heard Disney now practically owns Hulu. So looks like it's going international in the next year or so, and it'll be a package deal with Disney+. Whatever else you can say about Disney, you can't doubt their enthusiasm to get into this potentially lucrative market.
