Pitch a Solo Batman Movie (with Kevin Smith!) - MOVIE FIGHTS!!

[@alejandrocatano7604]

Watching this in 2022, can't believe how much of this actually happened. Man, I miss the days when Screen Junkies was more diverse than just honest trailers.

[@deumolo]

Did the episodes got published again ?

[@danielclark-hughes692]

Agreed, these were the golden era

[@RanyHambod]

Well Andy kinda ruined a lot of that 😅

[@theskipper1011]

OMG MIKE CARLSON, KEVIN SMITH, AND DAN??? EDIT: AND ALICIA ON THE DANCAM!!!! EDIT AGAIN: YES THIS NEEDED TO BE IN ALL CAPS

[@MercuryWolff]

+Flantastic riight! :D

[@KiltBill2]

+Flantastic Mike's my favorite "fun" fighter, Dan's great at keeping it serious without being loud and frustrated (unless the belts on the line).

[@bremwynn9090]

+Flantastic YOU WATCHED IT AS WELL???

[@NaglfarCommando]

+Flantastic too bad alicia was there. She tends to ruin the show for me.

+Ryann Von Doom how? I think she is very nice.

[@SpawnRevenge92]

Kevin Smith is really likable, this fight was great.

[@beauzeller5097]

I love the guy, his perspective & passion for movies is beyond reproach

[@kakarrot330]

Can we get Elijah Wood back on the show?

[@ashleybeggs3527]

I would like that too

[@skyrimsniper]

+Rafael Recinos Kevin Smith, Elijah Wood, and Dan Murrell would be my dream team.

[@KiltBill2]

+cubbex Of all the ways I've seen people promote movies, though, Elijah's put the most in and gave viewers the most reward. As long as actors are willing to put the effort in and have a good debate (unlike last week...) then that could be great for SJ.

[@sabinea.4532]

+davidanemone leave Landis out of this list and it would be awesome

[@dCa991]

+Alania A. Landis was easily one of the best fighters ever even though he was a little crazy. He didn't prepare at all for some fights but was still able to pitch entire movies off the top of his head.

[@CCscorsese]

Kevin was a pretty great guest. Please have him back, vs Mundy 1) The Fugitive 2) Deadpool vs Deathstroke: balls to the wall, universe crossing, 4th wall breaking, action shoot em up. Or Batman vs The Punisher. 3) Batman: Under the Red Hood (not a direct adaptation of the comic or animated film) 4) Clooney (because the three took all my answers lol) 5) Norman Osborn/Green Goblin/Iron Patriot (Played by Matthew McConaughey or Bryan Cranston), eventually forming the Dark Avengers. 6) Revenge of the Sith

[@Renogade]

Not Matthew McConaughey. If he plays Norman Osborn, it will be like chainsaw massacre

[@Avian07]

+CCScorseseVideos F*ck that shit!! Mundy would just dumb down the whole show and it'll just make bringing Kevin back to waste. Are you serious with that statement? Didnt you watch this video? This is what "Movie Fight" should be and should always stay like this from now till onwards.

[@CCscorsese]

Avian07 dude, you're taking this waaay too seriously

[@k9commander]

+CCScorseseVideos With #5 I would prefer the creation of the Thunderbolts team instead. Maybe the writers could find a way for both to be created. Maybe Norman creates the Dark Avengers; fails whatever scheme he was hatching; the team disbands when Norman goes to jail; Remnants of the team reform to create the Thunderbolts and actually do good.

[@SpaceGhost97]

+CCScorseseVideos Finally someone said the Fugitive, I don't know why people forget about that. Like the chemistry with Tommy Lee Jones is awesome.

I didn't look at when this was published, and thought, they all had some sort of alan rickman embodiment, a look into the future. Sad, sad :/

[@Psilocybin77]

Kevin became friends with Alan Rickman on Dogma. Kevin Smith’s words about his friend are heartwarming.

[@shawnhilliard]

[@tabithathomas9855]

Exactly, someone is a movie fights fan, can't tell me otherwise 😆

[@Thaddeus61]

This is quite possibly one of the best Movie Fights ever. I was pleasantly surprised by how articulate Kevin Smith proved himself to be, to all those who thought he'd be Nick Mundy 2.0. Though I kinda feel bad for Mike Carlson. It felt like he was out of focus and most of the attention went to Dan and Kevin.

[@davidcaulker6675]

Yep. Smith was one of the best fighters I've seen.

[@Thaddeus61]

+David Caulker Dream Team: Smith, Murrell, and Elijah Wood.

[@derrickcarter6249]

I didn't think Carlson stood a chance, no offense.

[@Thaddeus61]

+Derrick Carter To be honest, nobody would stand out from Murrell and Smith, except maybe someone like Elijah Wood or Jeremy Jahns.

[@ctkachuk08]

It is because he did not take a marijuana before the fight

[@JoeVincentPresents]

"Well, it was the first one..." - Kevin Smith trying to defend phantom Menace. Awesome, lol.

[@crystalrowan]

[@slandersir7255]

[@AWSVids]

Am I the only one who's sick of hearing people say that they want a certain movie or movies in general to be more "Fun!" and that they're sick of movies that "Take themselves too seriously." or any kind of argument like that. IMO, we've been getting too many movies lately that are obsessed with being "Fun!" and think that in order for a movie to be fun, it has to be explicit fun, in-your-face humour and antics, wise-cracks left and right, "Hahaha, we're having fun!!!" type of stuff. I think that was the main problem with Age of Ultron... they were too obsessed with making Ultron be a "Fun!" villain, that he ended up not being threatening at all, and ultimately failed as a villain, IMO. Everybody acted like Ant-Man was such a breath of fresh air because it was more comedy oriented, or it took the silly fun to a new level or something... But really, it just seemed like another "Fun!" installment in Marvel's long line of "Fun!" superhero movies. Iron Man 2, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers 2... all put fun first and foremost, and Avengers and GotG worked, while IM2 and Avengers 2 didn't IMO... but the strongest Marvel movies so far are the first Iron Man and Winter Soldier. Both movies that "Took themselves seriously." (they had humour and fun in there, but the humour and fun was just a part of the fabric, not the objective of the whole thing), and because they took themselves seriously, they were GOOD FRICKIN' MOVIES that will stand the test of time because seriousness stays the same over time, while humour has a law of diminishing returns. I loved The Avengers when I first saw it, and still enjoyed it on a few rewatches. But now, I don't really feel a desire to watch it that much, because I know all the jokes, the punchlines are lost on me now because I know they're coming... Whereas the one scene that I really still enjoy watching is when they all start arguing with each other about SHIELD's real motivations, etc, and Loki is turning them against each other through the Loki-Poki Stick... Because that scene actually has some SUBSTANCE to it. It takes on a seriousness that plays with the same impact every time you watch it, because substance doesn't have a law of diminishing returns. It's the same with Avengers 2... the only scene that I'm interested in watching again is when Tony and Steve are arguing about the nature of fighting a war, "Every time you try to stop a war before it starts... innocent people die." God, that's the kind of thing you want your kids to watch and soak in, because it will stick with you and give you something to think about. Instead of putting humour at the forefront and pandering to kids as though they won't have fun unless everything is humourous or over-the-top. As a kid, I loved Star Wars because the world was cool (because it was realistic) and Darth Vader was scary, but cool and lightsabres were cool... not because everything was funny. I don't give a damn about Ultron trying to be funny... I don't need a bunch of silliness and "Fun!" to have fun at the movies. A serious movie that's good is fun to watch because it engages you. I'm not just sitting back and watching a bunch of people trying to be comedians in the midst of a bunch of ridiculous stuff going on... Comedic relief is great, but it has to be comedic RELIEF. If the whole movie is just fun, then you don't get any relief from the humour, you're just getting bombarded with it. I think the first Avengers worked because, at the time, it was something different. We hadn't really seen much of that kind of fun, celebratory movie before. But now, I think it's wearing out fast. Because, as I mentioned, of the law of diminishing returns. Fun will never have the staying power that seriousness has. That's why most classic movies aren't comedies. It takes a really rare comedy to stand the test of time (and usually, it's satirical comedies that last because they're pushing substance through irreverent/ironic humour). To that end, I feel like a lot of Marvel's movies are very of-the-moment, and won't stand the test of time, but their more serious films, like Iron Man and Winter Soldier, are probably the ones that will. And now I look at the Batman V Superman trailer, and I think that despite all the over-the-top darkness and seriousness... it ultimately feels like a masturbatory movie, because the whole premise is one big nerd-gasm, and the weakest stuff looks like the trying-too-hard-to-have-fun gags and quips "Is she with you?" "I thought she was with you." stuff. And jesus, does Eisenberg's performance look like a desperate attempt at levity. It just comes off pathetic to me. I'd have more respect for a movie that wasn't obsessed with trying to get laughs in the midst of a serious story, and just had the guts to stay serious. That's WHY Nolan's films were so good, because they weren't afraid to be serious and give us actual substance to the stories... and even then, the weakest parts of those movies are the attempts at levity: "I'm not wearing hockey pads!". Then I look at the Star Wars trailers and lo and behold!... it looks serious. It looks substantive. It looks good! AND it looks fun as a result!!! I'm sure there'll be plenty of comedic relief, but it will be just that: comedic RELIEF. Not the overall tone of the movie. The overall tone looks serious as hell, and that gives it a gravity that commands your attention. The best part of the full trailer, IMO, is towards the end when the voiceover comes in "The Force... it's calling to you." and the music takes that dramatic turn into a bit of a minor chord feeling... you start to feel a sense of importance about this. And the amazing thing, IMO, is that one of the shots during this section of the trailer is BB-8 in the back of an X-Wing... BB-8 seems like a mostly light-hearted character like R2, who will probably bring a lot of comedic relief. But at that point in the trailer, we get a sense of dramatic weight from seeing him going into battle. That's the power of allowing seriousness to bring a sense of weight to the story and characters. That way, when there is fun and humour, it's all the more effective because you're not just having fun with these characters, you're experiencing a powerful story along with them. That's why I'm looking forward to TFA so much, because I feel like it will be return to the old style of "Fun movies", where the movies weren't fun by nature of in-your-face humour and antics... they were fun because they were good stories that engaged you. So in the face of all this "I want fun, not a movie that's 'up it's own ass'!" stuff... I say, "Lay off the fun, please... just give me a good movie."

[@danpignato3479]

Honestly think they could set him up as a major villain. Especially setting up future phases after phase 3, marvel probably wants to set up the next big over arching villain different from thanos. If they surprised everyone and showed audiences a villain from a standalone movie (dr strange) ending up as a big marvel villain could be amazing. Plus it would also bring dr strange as the uniting force for the mcu, now that spoilers................................ A lot of the og avengers won't be coming back.

[@ThatLegends]

I'm starting to get pissed of people saying DC takes itself too seriously and then they offer something so ridiculous and corny as if it's somehow better. If a movie can take itself seriously and still be a good movie, there's no reason to change it. Likewise, if a movie is campy and does a good job, there's no reason to change it. There shouldn't be a grim movie vs campy movie dilemma when it comes to superhero movies (primarily DC vs Marvel), the argument should just be 'good film vs bad film'.

[@tejasranger]

Exactly people act like taking a more serious route is a bad thing and if that were true we would still be stuck with 60's Batman and Superman 3&4

[@Fish4Man61]

+Kal The problem isn't the grim movies. The problem is there is too much, and ever DC movie in the last 5-10 years, save for perhaps the green lantern (terrible) was a serious movie. They haven' shown they can really master a different tact, and it gets old. Marvel, on the other hand, has had several grim movies, and several fun/campy movies. Secondly, in many respects, fun, campy movies are able to reach a wider audience, kids with short attention spans, etc.

[@ThatLegends]

Fish4Man61 Yeah, I understand that. But I'd rather have a good movie than a bad movie. At least we get some humor in BvS and a Shazam movie.

[@navs8098]

+Fish4Man61 wth have you been watching. every marvel film is tonally the same, light hearted and "funny". DC films are more serious. How can you say it gets old, no marvel film has the rewatchability of TDK/watchmen.

+Kal You said it exactly. If it can take itself seriously AND STILL BE A GOOD MOVIE it is fine. Unfortunatly, DC only has three good movies tops (Dark Knight Trilogy).

You can tell Kevin knows his stuff because right out the gate, the other two guys just pick easy, superficial films that Harrison Ford just happens to be in. Not to say that "Blade Runner" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" aren't wonderful, they totally are. But those are go-to choices. That'd be like someone asking who your favorite Basketball player is and you immediately just pick Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant because they're names that you know and that's that.

[@jhudielbarretto5278]

RIP joker

[@jayalexander7763]

Steven Adams Ever hear the saying "prove one thing wrong about someone's argument & it ruins their whole credibility." ?..... Well here I go, the joker has killed people. Just because they don't always show it doesn't mean he doesn't.

[@FREEtje4ever]

Favorite moment: Dan: "I did know I just didn't want to look like a know-it-all" *cute laugh* Dan is not only great at debating, but just so adorable ^^.

[@samarino9360]

are you a girl? asking for a friend

[@fullmetalprism5249]

BallLikeImKobe 😆😂🤣😆🤣🤣🤣

[@jahollow]

That's bs batman vs ironman should have won

[@ragingfiip]

Great episode of Movie Fights. Dan and Mike are two of my favorite contestants on this show. And Kevin Smith seems like such a really awesome, nice, and down-to-earth dude that'd be a lot of fun to just chill and kick it with.

[@esotericVideos]

Weird that they mention both Alan Rickman and Dormamu

[@umairfarooq4951]

#MovieFights Most overrated Disney movie?

[@emitouzumaki2822]

Frozen!! It gets waaaay too much credit for having lackluster music, underdeveloped/ un-relatable characters and cliched plot twists.

[@umairfarooq4951]

Agreed

[@steveharvey6341]

+Umair Farooq lion king.

[@umairfarooq4951]

Steve Harvey Nah, that's amazing. Why would u think it's overrated?

[@umairfarooq4951]

mirko zaja Yeah. I think people should just...let it go... I'm a shut up

[@mitchpatea7363]

I could listen to Kevin smiths points all day. Good fight guys.

[@user-zn2nx8vy9c]

We need this lineup again

[@TheWheelsHaveEyes73]

*talking about BvS* "You know they're both going to be alive by the end of it" This aged well 😂

[@wadeaiken1948]

Green Lantern vs Mandarin Batman vs Moon Knight Joker vs Kraven the Hunter Lady Shiva vs Black Widow Trigon vs Dormammu Parasite vs Rogue Deathstroke vs Wolverine Spiderman vs Blue Beetle

[@toddroy7289]

loved the older batman with george clooney playing him idea!

[@Locomamonk]

shit this was INTENSE! what a great fighter kevin is! Man, he made you guys sweat! Awesome fight and I love how you all debated the shit out of it!

[@leannebrown02]

+Locomamonk yeah

[@wavelink64]

I love Kev Smith didn’t think Dormamu could be in a movie. Especially with that dr strange/imitation game character poster in the background.

[@ChannelStarface]

daniel day lewis wouldve taken serious brain damage just to get into character for Regarding Henry

[@PNWRideAlongs]

nice one!

[@aliliv9384]

+Felix Alvarez yup dats true

[@RyanFilmMaker]

Omg Kevin. knock out of park with Batman solo film

[@chuckbatman5]

+The Ohio Review I don't like Woody Allen as an actor, but why is he "scum"?

[@aidanholmes2456]

+Coolman Hahn he married his adopted daughter

[@RyanFilmMaker]

just how I feel about it

[@targetias1]

I never comment on youtube. But has to say this. Dan Murrell rocks. He is the main reason why i watch Movie Fights. Love your passion for good films man, which is not superficial at all unlike some other guests.

[@djryguy20]

How Kevin Smith didn't the first four arguments is beyond me.

[@aliliv9384]

+djryguy20 same here i don't like the judge on all the fights he is biased

[@Rawblokes]

holy shit it's kevin smith!!!!!

[@loverzxlane]

Round 1-Force Awakens Round 2-Thor v Flash Round 3- Joker POV/ Guillermo Del Toro Round 4-Also Clint Eastwood Round 5-Evil Deadpool

[@joeybebop]

Force awakens? Eh Ford was in like 30 % of the movie and had 2 emotions, sad and annoyed..

[@jayalexander7763]

Kevin Simth's Dark Night Returns wasn't bad he just picked the wrong actor, instead of George Clooney he should of picked Mel Gibson

[@jayalexander7763]

willis jhonson lol why

[@CalebByRamen]

Oh man Kevin Smith got ROBBED! On the Marvel vs DC. ah damn.

[@davidmendez3899]

+Kadafi69 it was the easy choice BUT damn was it a good argument

[@restlessentertainment9760]

Dan should have won the Solo Batman argument. That would have been awesome. Plus, we already have a two and a half hour Dark Knight Returns film, we don't need another.

[@cindychelsea]

i love how Dan Murrell predicted Don Mormu

[@jturner1758]

By far my 3 favorite fighters

[@_ChoccooMilkk_]

42:08 Kevin’s right. TDKR was my first ever Batman comic I read and I fell in love with this character because of it!

[@entropias_gonos]

GET KEVIN SMITH AND MAX LANDINS IN THE SAME ROOM! JUST, DO IIIIT!

[@taia-b8f]

I don't understand people who already bought Star Wars VII merch!

[@Kronecraft]

+The MrBigBuda I'm getting it on the 18th, the day after I watch it.

[@strasnodimke]

you mean VII

[@taia-b8f]

+strasnodimke Just corrected! Thanks ;)

[@elizabethzubanova897]

I spent this entire fight just watching Kevin Smith reacting to the others talking - it's hilarious.

[@JoaqMan]

Bring on Mark Kermode

[@GT8191ms]

+J Wizard Phoenix Hell Yes!

[@lakemasterex7582]

As much as I love this idea, it's simply never going to happen. If it ever did happen though, he'd crush everyone.

[@jack-g4112]

+J Wizard Phoenix a 50 year old British movie reviewer mixing with 30 year old American movie fans? hahaha

[@TheBandy98]

"Best Kermode Michael Bay rant".

[@simontrebel87]

He's way out of Screen Junkies league

[@IntegralBif]

Best solo Batman movie = heart of ice (done properly)

[@fivestringsword]

I think the obvious solo Batman film should be titled Batman: The World's Greatest Detective, featuring the Riddler as the villain. Make it an epic detective movie with a Batman wrapper.

[@anythingafter10]

Witness is obviously the best Harrison Ford movie.

[@funkoxen]

mosquito coast

[@sabster79]

Kevin Smith was right on all counts.

[@OptimusGPrime]

Kevin: "Are we talking about if it's actually going to ever happen?... No studio head is going *thumbs up* 'Dormamu, brother'."... Well, apparently not about everything. :P

[@loadz03]

My Batman pitch would be a death in the family, directed by David Ayer. You get to learn about about Bruce Wayne/ Batman from the perspective of Jason Todd. From Batman taking him under his wing, training him, but you also get to learn about Jason and like his character. Then of the Joker takes gets involved. Jason Todd played by Shia Lebouf, he's good enough to like, and it would be so satisfying to watch Jared Leto kill him with a crowbar. Then of course, you get the sequel the red hood where he returns.

[@JDirkfilms2]

Get David Tennant on the show.

[@skinsman82000]

Is he a big film buff? I really don't know.

[@JDirkfilms2]

He's David Tennant. that's all that matters haha. And most actors are pretty film literate.

[@SensibleCentrist]

+Cole Silver Think he's only doing voice over work just now unless he's in a play.....would be amazing to see him on it, can just tell he would know a shit ton about movies

[@JDirkfilms2]

I mean he just finished starring in Jessica Jones and he did a movie this year, so no, he's definitely still acting!

[@bennett4789]

five words: rocket and groot vs lobo

[@bennett4789]

the two most popular and weird space based characters from both companies who both have bounties on their heads and there could just be so many shenanigans and i would love this

[@robinthrush9672]

+Bennett N Original Lobo or New 52 Lobo. I'd like to see the original, the new one doesn't grab my interest though.

[@TRTSPODCAST]

"Director,Podcaster,Silent Bob" haha that makes me chuckle

[@benobel]

Silent Bob finally SPEAKS!!!!

[@josue.saldivar]

They should have Kevin fight Nick Mundy

[@sarahsue123]

ha, yes!

[@frsrs5501]

+Josué Saldívar NOOOOO. plz dont.

[@joshgodawful]

+Josué Saldívar So it can be even more obvious what an idiot Nick Mundy is?

[@NarutoDX]

How about Kevin Smith Vs Max Landis?

[@seamuspautz7532]

+NarutoDX That'd be like two absolute geniuses with complete opposite personalities! It'd be awesome!

[@fangal12]

Never been a big Kevin Smith fan but the fact that he picked Regarding Henry as the best Harrison Ford movie just bumped him up a couple of notches for me. Love that movie

[@mateo10ish]

Man this show used to be good

[@JollyRancherGeno]

Best director/actor... and nobody chose Charlie Chaplin. Think about that.

[@bronzenrule]

+Pan_Head Great choice. Chaplin hadn't crossed my mind, but if he had he would've been my choice as well. Several of his movies rank among the very best of all time, including on AFI's 100 best films of all time list. And his films aren't just comedic, as most people assume they are; they are also moving, tragic, heady, and conscientious of the ills in society and the struggle of the common man. I have to say that It's somewhat disappointing that he wasn't given a mention, even an honorary one, considering the contenders in this fight had a day or more to make their choices. There's a decided bias to pick films, filmmakers, and actors from current and more recent times on Movie Fights, which is unfortunate, as it does a disservice to everyone, especially those who would otherwise learn of films that, though old, are timeless, and be inspired to watch them. My second choice is also from the past: Orson Welles. There is no doubting the directorial legacy he left behind. However, he also left behind some unforgettable acting performances.

[@bronzenrule]

Kyle Hopkins He's my second choice, so I don't have a problem with you choosing him over Chaplin.

[@FlameZHD]

Pan_Head my favourite is Tom cavanagh

[@Ivanguzman213]

i think for a "Fighter" to earn a point, three people must judge. not just Andy.

[@nicklevesque576]

Kevin Smith should have won round one

[@starcraftfavsongs]

Yeah, his arguments were the best I feel, though its hard to fight against that other 2 movies they were just too classic

[@KTF0]

He won the argument, but, he was wrong.

[@charleynewman5057]

How did no one pitch Under the Red Hood

[@alexspina5907]

This has got to be the best Movie Fights I've watched

[@Dj_Real_Eyes_Open]

do kevin smith vs nick mundy next time!

[@LegoandmoviereviewsBlogspot]

I would make a Flash vs. Quicksilver movie.

[@CALiCOMMA]

The Flash would BLOW him out of the water though /:

[@LegoandmoviereviewsBlogspot]

+ZachRobinsonYT Yeah, most likely.

[@LucasBradley]

Flash: Can run fast enough to travel through time. Quicksilver (I'm assuming the Avengers version, not X-Men): Can't even run faster than bullets.

[@LegoandmoviereviewsBlogspot]

+Evolution Epoch True, Flash probaly would win

[@thewhiterabbitchaser]

yes he can check out Gubz's mathematical breakdown of the two quicksilver's speeds

[@travisrussill]

In terms of Marvel vs DC my pick would be Black Panther vs Aquaman. Both are kings. Both have advanced tech. Both have a home turf advantage. Have them both fighting to defend their kingdoms well being, it would be an interesting throw down. Comments?

[@leinsterfan1802]
