Chapter 448 "Bat & Chao: The World's Best Partner" (1)
However, Su Yun's "unique" new look design has been controversial, but when the movie is really about to be officially released, no matter whether they are haters or fans, they all want to go and see it.
After all, the timing of this film was perfect. It was a "spin-off" that was made just in time for the craze and controversy surrounding comic book-adapted movies. It not only reduced the pickiness of those who guarded the classics, but also attracted more fans who only knew one side of the story. Some critics even bluntly said that Su Yun and Warner's operation this time was too tricky, and they were almost stuck on the edge of an extreme to test the acceptance of the audience and fans.
If this kind of "spin-off" that uses popular characters but has a plot that is easier for the general public to understand and accept can be successful, perhaps Warner will vigorously develop in this direction in the future in order to restore the already declining live-action comic-based movies to glory.
Of course, the word "glorious" does not mean the critical and commercial success of the "Superman" series when it was first launched; it means that the series has been hyped up to the highest level amidst all kinds of controversy, and the profits have reached a level that satisfies all parties including the producers and investors...
No matter how you fans who support classics protest, it’s not the first or second time that their official team has rejected books. In short, it’s a way to make money, which is not shameful.
It is difficult for most ordinary people to understand the root cause of the confrontation between fans and producers. Most of the time, they just think that paying to go to the cinema is just a way to have fun in their busy or leisurely lives.
Watch a movie, sit in the air-conditioned room, eat snacks and drink beverages, relax, have fun with friends, or let the movie you watched become a topic of conversation for some time to come... This is basically the key reason why commercial films, especially comedies, are so popular.
For this generation, especially young people, the name Marie Sue is a golden signboard. One can often get visual enjoyment or entertainment enjoyment from her works. There will never be any big disappointments in the middle. Basically, it is always easy and happy from the beginning to the end. So when making a choice, how can people not choose the works with her name on them first?
Moreover, the recent "Galaxy Visitor", which was known as "a love letter to childhood", made these young adults laugh and cry in the midst of laughter and scolding. Plus, with the well-made serious drama "Batman: The Dark Knight" as a reference standard, as long as they are not overly protective of classics and do not allow them to change, they will be more able to accept the upcoming "Batman v Superman: The World's Best Partner".
After all, they could all accept Marie Sue stripping off the classic underwear of two popular characters, so what else could they not accept?
Besides, even if this spin-off is terrible, the special effects of Marie Sue are still top-notch. At least the cool visual effects are worth the money. In short, it will definitely not be worse than "Superman 4", which has a terrible plot and pictures...
With this desperate mentality, a group of people checked their tickets one after another, entered the theater, found their seats and sat down.
As a commercial film, most of the time it rarely uses a vague narrative style. It basically presents the protagonist and the general direction of the story in a straightforward manner from the beginning. As for the popularity of the two super popular characters "Batman" and "Superman", it saves a lot of introduction work.
However, nothing is absolute. Considering that this film needs to be sold to other countries and regions, as well as those audiences who really have no information about the two protagonists, the beginning more or less uses a simple and clear plot to show the heroic image of these two superheroes, as well as the image of "ordinary people" when they take off their heroic costumes.
Compared to Bruce Wayne, the Batman who is the richest man in Gotham, Superman's real identity is really too down-to-earth: Clark Kent, a young man who grew up on a farm, has now left his hometown and worked as a reporter for the Daily Planet in a big city.
But once a crime occurs in the city, no matter whether it is a playboy, the richest man or an honest young reporter, they will become heroes fighting crime in unknown places.
Since we are all heroes fighting against crime, it is normal to get to know each other during the day-to-day actions of punishing evil and promoting good.
Although both of them seem to think that the other's ideas and methods are quite different from their own, they act separately in the same city, just like beasts guarding their own territory. They are not used to seeing others but most of the time they will not interfere with each other's actions.
Besides, even though the two of them disliked each other, they always had the same goal of punishing evil and promoting good. Occasionally, when the other was in trouble, they would help secretly if they could.
After all, the money power of the playboy richest man is omnipotent only in most cases but not omnipotent; and the superpowers of the honest and simple little reporter, although too powerful, are also subject to many limitations of real conditions.
However, the complicated feeling after discovering that the other party secretly helped me was hard for me to accept...
When faced with such situations, Clark, the cheerful and enthusiastic young reporter, is fine and can basically get over it after a while of self-adjustment. However, Bruce, the playboy with a weird personality, has to deal with it for quite some time - so many times, Clark would try not to help, so as to prevent this weird old bat from falling into a self-constructed cage.
But today's situation made him pay attention: in the newspaper sent from the nearby city of Gotham, Batman suddenly published a news that he was going to invest 10 million US dollars in a company, and also declared that he "buys everything".
In the name of "Batman", not in the name of "the richest man in Gotham City".
Although Clark knew that Batman's other identity was the richest man in Gotham who had too much money to spend, based on his understanding of "Batman", it was unlikely that he would do such a strange thing - if the sender of this message was the extremely ostentatious richest man in Gotham, "Bruce Wayne", then Clark would definitely not find it strange.
With this doubt in mind, Clark found a secluded place, changed his suit, and flew towards Gotan as "Superman".
Seeing Superman's red and blue outfit, which was not much different from the previous series, many viewers who wanted to see Superman's new look suddenly became anxious: What happened to the promise of not favoring one over the other? !
People’s psychology is always so strange. When faced with forced changes, many people think that it is best to maintain the status quo; but once they see that people around them have changed, they will immediately strongly protest against their own “maintaining the status quo”...
"Don't be anxious, maybe this is just the beginning, and the new look will be changed later in the plot." Some fans of Su Yun, together with the audience who think moderately and empathetically, began to advise those anxious people, "Batman was on the big screen after a long time, so a new look was used directly. Superman has already had four movies before. If the look is to be changed all of a sudden, wouldn't it be better to have a sufficient and legitimate reason rather than just changing it without warning?"
Considering that cinemas are public places, and the audiences here are not as carefree as the sugarcane chewing gang in Hong Kong, after hearing this admonition and self-adjustment, many people also relaxed: Yes, this is a story about the cooperation between Batman and Superman. Maybe the reason why Superman changed his appearance is that he got the funding of money power and upgraded his guns to cannons...
Although Superman has all kinds of super powers, even if he doesn't wear the armor-style battle suit that was leaked or the classic red and blue tights, he can still kill all kinds of criminals in seconds with his bare chest, but we are still modern people who need to cover up. It is definitely easier for people to accept and like him to have a cool battle suit in battle than to go into battle shirtless...
So everyone slowed down and continued to watch the development of the movie.
When Superman flew to the Batcave, he did not find Batman who had gone out to spend money, but only saw Robin Dick who liked him very much.
Batman's assistant Robin Dick was also puzzled by Superman's question: "When Batman came back with the money, I asked him why he spent so much cash..."
"But strangely, he wouldn't tell me."
I didn't expect that Batman didn't even tell his assistant, so he definitely wouldn't tell him.
Superman thought about it seriously and became a little worried: "Maybe he encountered a financial crisis and is trying to make up for the losses quickly..."
Worried that this "friend" who was not a like-minded person but was doing the same thing as him might be in trouble, Superman said goodbye to Robin and flew to the meeting place marked on the message, eavesdropping on the conversation between Batman and a group of people who came to solicit investments.
After hearing that Batman was tricked into buying a salvaging company with one million dollars, and that he was going to salvage the Cotton Bay that had been salvaged countless times and was generally recognized as a sure loss, Superman suddenly became anxious: Batman must be at his wits' end, so he chose to rely on his luck like this!
If anyone knew this, Batman would become a laughing stock!
He couldn't let this happen!
Superman acted immediately after making up his mind. He flew to the distant ocean and dived deep into the seabed.
After a selection, Superman chose a large Spanish shipwreck full of treasures. Not only did he push it to the coast with his iron body, he also used his super breath to blow away the seaweed growing on the ship, and then scraped off all the canopies on the ship with his bare hands...
Finally, Superman dragged the sunken ship full of treasures under the salvage ship, and then used his superpowers to disguise himself as a small underwater volcanic eruption, just waiting for the divers who came down to check the situation to find it and salvage it.
"Call the surface. There is an ancient Spanish shipwreck underneath. It must have been buried in quicksand before, but the sudden volcanic eruption shook it out..."
The news of the discovery of the Spanish shipwreck during the salvage operation soon attracted a crowd of onlookers, and the Natural History Museum, which heard the news, also expressed its hope to buy the Spanish shipwreck from Batman for 1.5 million...
Watching this scene from a hidden height, Superman was very pleased: Now that Batman's investment has been a great success, the newspapers can no longer accuse him of investing without thinking. I bet Batman will be very happy!
"Pah, not only did I get my original capital back, I even made a small profit - this is just too bad!" Batman, who had to spend the 10 million as quickly as possible for some reason, almost cursed out loud at this outcome.
In order to reverse the situation where he needed to lose money and make money instead, Batman quickly spent another million and bought a mine that had long been proven to have been completely mined.
Upon hearing this news, Robin became even more anxious: "Everyone knows that the old mine is worthless!"
"It's my money, Robin," Batman said without paying any attention. "It's my business how I spend it."
Seeing Batman driving away in the Batmobile, the anxious Robin immediately contacted Superman again.
"Don't worry, Robin, I will make up for the mistakes Batman made - just like I did before." After Superman and Robin promised, they moved at the speed of a meteor and flew into outer space in an instant.
In the starry sky, that red and blue figure is so dazzling.
“No wonder Marilyn Sue arranged for Superman not to change his look in the early stages…” I have to say, in such a dark environment, the highly saturated and high-contrast red and blue combination is indeed eye-catching. People who always thought this look was quite funny in the three-dimensional world, actually felt the stunning feeling of such a strong contrast for the first time in this picture.
It is like - in the boundless and dark space, there is always this dazzling red and blue figure, guarding all peace.
The problem is that this classic scene, with such stunning visual effects that it is unforgettable to everyone who has seen it, has a hilarious plot that is completely inconsistent with the weight of the scene: After carefully selecting in the starry sky, Superman finally picked a pure silver asteroid, and then happily brought it back to Earth, preparing to give Batman another "surprise" in the next excavation...
