Should Batman Kill & The Oscars 2024 - The Weekly Planet Podcast

[@AdamSoucyDrums]

It's so funny how context dependent this issue is and how much the execution matters to me. While I'd prefer if Keaton's Batman wasn't a killer, it doesn't stop me from loving those movies or that interpretation of the character because all of the elements in those films come together to make something fun, interesting, and enjoyable. I think the tone goes a *long* way there as well because those movies take place in this super heightened "fairy tale" kind of reality in a way that's almost weightless. Then there's Nolan, who is *actually* doing what Snyder is pretending he's doing, and pushing Batman to the point where he has to bend and even break his rule which really suits the grounded reality of those films. Bruce learns a lesson in letting Ra's die that serves his arc in that movie. He makes a panicked sacrifice to save a child and kills Harvey, which is MUCH more akin to that scene in TDKR that Snyder is referencing IMO. (I have no justification for Talia or burning down the League of Shadows. Reckless Bruce, do better) Snyder's Batman is just the Punisher in a cape, and the violence in those movies goes completely un-interrogated or explored in any meaningful or interesting way beyond "I just think it's silly that the man in the cape doesn't do big murders all the time" and I think that's ultimately the sticking point for me. Idk, that's a lot of words, sorry everyone!

[@sathrielsatanson]

Agreed, whether a superhero kills or not is incosequential to the quality of the piece of art he is in. Snyder's movies would be as bad if Batman was not a psychopatic murderer and SUperman did not kill Zod.

[@STRANGEANATOMYBAND]

I enjoy Snyder’s DC movies, but I also agree with every word you said.

[@SchulzEricT]

I was thinking the same thing with regards to: Snyder just wants to make a The Punisher movie. Which is fine... just make a The Punisher movie, idiot. He doesn't like Superman or Batman, he doesn't understand comic books... so stop making movies about them. Idiot.

[@WalkingDistance8]

There have been comic book examples where the heroes were put in a no-win scenario and couldn't hack the system. Prime example being Hickman's Avengers leading into Secret Wars, and it was phenomenal. The problem with Zack Snyder (and I say this as a former Snyder fan) is that he's not smart enough to do that kind of storytelling justice. He tried to put Superman in that scenario in Man of Steel, an idea I like in theory, but it was so poorly executed. Snyder wanted us to think that Superman had no other choice but to kill Zod but there were so many other options. A. The family had plenty of room to run but they inexplicably decided to just huddle in that corner. B. Superman could've flown Zod into the air C. Superman could've covered Zod's eyes with his hand. (This would've hurt like hell, but it would've been exactly the kind of thing Superman would do) Zack Snyder reminds me of a teenage boy. He has all these ideas that are completely unrefined and often stem from a lack of understanding of the characters he's working with. And the real tragedy is that he could be a true visionary if he would just get out of his own way.

[@nailinthefashion]

Enabled people usually don’t evolve beyond their flaws since they don’t need to. Rebel Moon was horrible but look how much money he got to do whatever he wants and how many men will call it gourmet despite it being the most generic space opera ever made imo

[@sathrielsatanson]

I'd agree with you but everything you wrote is pointless. That Superman killed Zod is not Man of Steel's problem. It is a mediocre movie with pretentious symbolism and weak script. If Superman did not kill Zod it would still be all those things.

[@WalkingDistance8]

I didn't say that him killing Zod was Man of Steel's problem. Snyder said he wants to put heroes in a situation where they don't have a choice but to kill. I was pointing out that he tried it with Superman and failed @@sathrielsatanson

[@sathrielsatanson]

@@WalkingDistance8 I never said you did say that.

[@SchulzEricT]

ALSO: at no point in that fucking dumb wreck of a movie was Clark taught not to kill, which *really* undercuts the shock value Snyder the teenage edgelord was going for. What a hack. "Isn't it crazy that he killed?!?" Well, Snyder... no. Because he was taught to let innocent children die to protect his secret, since he wasn't taught the sanctity of human life, he probably has no rule against killing. At every point Snyder's like "he's so edgy, man, this isn't YOUR Superman, it's MY Superman, an EDGY Superman"... and then at the end he's like "OH MY GOD HE KILLED!!! AREN'T YOU SHOCKED!!!" What a hack.

I never actually finished reading Dragonball Z, but it is so important in the canon of manga that it has directly and influenced 99% of the comics I began reading in about 2005. This means that without it, I wouldn’t have any of the stories, characters and moments that so moved me and inspired me, and which probably kept me alive.

[@christianyoung9808]

Yeah I’m an advocate for the No kill rule but I’m gonna be honest I’d rather have stories where Batman does kill then ones where he tells EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER that he doesn’t kill and patronizes others for not living up to that standard. One of my favorite moments in the recent movie is Batman telling Gordon not to use guns and Gordon basically telling him to F off “That’s your thing man”

[@rodanandme]

it’s a good rule for a character like Batman who’s a very tortured character, not so good as a plot point for other characters. If Superman had to keep saying he doesn’t kill people, we’d just believe that he thinks about killing people nonstop and has to stop himself.

[@kiarashtaheri7478]

and this rule is integral for most of batman's best stories like without this rule we would not have the dark knight or under the red hood batman literally gives up his role to terry in batman beyond because he couldn't win without a gun

[@Kango234]

Yeah I think the biggest issue with Batman and comics in general is there are 80 years worth of stories and bad writers feel the need to shock people and push things to the edge so they have the Joker do absolutely heinous shit or even one story where the joker gets the death penalty and Batman has to save him at the end. It just makes him seem like an idiot when in reality, he just doesn't think he deserves to be judge, juror and executioner.

[@cryptking6283]

Problem for Zack is that panel he's talking about in Dark Knight Returns isn't what he thinks it was. He didn't kill the mutant with the kid, and didn't shoot him in the head, it was in the shoulder. It's all in Snyder's head. He never kills in the comic and the only death is Joker who kills himself. The tank even used rubber bullets

In The Dark Knight Returns, Batman is old and kind of emotionally broken, and fed up. BvS is devoid of character development. But also, goggles are cool.

[@Buttato99]

That's bc every character in BvS is too stupid to have character development. Esp Batman.

[@BunkBeazy]

No, no, there was absolutely character development, and batman killing was a major part of it. People just always critique based on what they wanted and didn't get, rather than the movie itself and the story being told.

The sequel to the Mario Bros movie will see Mario and Luigi enter a portal and emerge in the Morbius/Venom/Madame Webb universe

[@jordanwang1035]

[@epicbruhmoment6985]

I really am convinced that Snyder only read the Dark Knight Returns so he could have an example of Batman using a gun to justify it, because you'd have to be crazy for that to be your takeaway from that story. It's one thing to not agree with the rule but Snyder just seemed keen to have him wielding a gun as often as he could. It really all just comes across like he wanted to prove a point and "fix" batman more than tell a story about a character that so many love.

[@6tiple6ix6afia]

People who say "you don't understand movies because Snyder is a director not a writer" as some sort of defense, are the ones who fail to realize that Snyder wrote the story for the ORIGINAL Justice League, and he was a main writer for Sucker Punch, the 300 sequel, and he completely wrote Rebel Moon 🤣

As a latino, Dragon Ball has basically become part of our culture her, its huge, the only i could put it in perspective is Dragon Ball is what Star wars is to the USA but times 100. feels like the whole latino community is in mourning. Hundreds of homages were made and are being made for him. Dragon Ball helped me made friends, bring my family closer together, inspire me to work out, never give up. As some one put it. Today it is not the man you created who cries, but the child you helped grow.

[@spartanB0292]

Is there any particular reason for DB being so relevant to South American countries?

[@raf.raf.]

​@@spartanB0292 I don't know if there's a specific reason. It could be just good timing and a good product. I was born in 1991, and in my childhood we just didn't have many quality options as far as animation goes, specially on open (non cable/satellite) tv. Before anime (and during it's first broadcast years) children programming would be basically game shows (like those nickelodeon ones, but way simpler), Chavo del Ocho (which is also huge here) and those old looney tunes style cartoons. So anime was really impressive and way more complex, animation-wise but also plot-wise. And I think Dragon Ball (specially Dragon Ball Z) was part of this first wave. It was just awesome, and really violent, which made it WAY cooler in my mind at the time. There were other big anime at the time who still have huge fanbases nowadays, like Saint Seya and Yu Yu Hakusho (this one due to the incredible dub, full of regionalisms and local expressions), but I'd say that Dragon Ball is by far the one that had the most impact. For context, I'm Brazilian.

[@ulises4241]

@@spartanB0292 ​ back then (and even today) most Latin American Tv station didn't have the budget for animated shows, so most of them would import them from other countries. While Latin America did get USA shows like thundercats, gi joe, He-man they were episodic shows, with little to no character development or continuum story. That's where anime was different, it had story arcs, character development, and im just gonna say it, Latinos love novelas, and most animes are just animated novelas haha. in many ways, japanese culture is more similar to latin america culture than Japanese is to usa culture. Also, Dragon Ball had an amazing dub, in the USA, the names of attacks were change, the OG japanese music was change, new dialoged was added and some characters personalities where modified. All that in order to make it more ''American'. here in latin America all the og music was keep, the attacks were not rename, so much more was closer to the original. I could go on and on on the many reasons Dragon Ball being so popular in Latin ameica but ill leave it at that hah

Every time Zac Snyder opens his mouth I become more convinced he doesn't understand anyone else's view of super heroes.

[@BunkBeazy]

Why does a story teller need to understand someone elses view of anything? He makes movies with his views. If you want a movie made with your own views, you're going to have to make it yourself.

[@Lios959]

Full disclaimer I didn't listen to the Joe Rogan interview. But taking them at their word. He says he wants to see what happens if batman kills because him not killing is cannon. It sounds like to me he's trying to deconstruct batman and try something possible subversive and new. I think to properly deconstruct something you have to understand what it is you are deconstructing. For example his watchmen adaptation I think completely missed the point that super heroes in real life would probably be sad kinda pathetic people with hangups and mental illnesses that shouldn't be idealized. But like every action shot from the murder scene to the sex in the owl plane scene is trying to make them look cool. I'd argue he either doesn't care, or missed the point. Either way it leads to what I believe to be a sub par product. I feel like this is a chronic problem for him. What he's saying could be interesting. But I don't think he... Thinks it through... Or understands it enough to execute his vision competently? That's just my opinion. A person who keeps on giving him chances and watching his movies even though I hate most of them. Ymmv

[@Lios959]

​@@BunkBeazyand they kinda mention this. Ok so batman kills. What did you avtually do with that in your stories? I'd argue not much. So to me it feels like he's trying to be subversive, doesn't quite know what he's trying to subvert, and then fails in execution. He should 100 percent make movies with his views. And I definitely couldn't do better. But his movies keep getting reviewed poorly and I think they all stem from the same problem. He doesn't look far enough outside his world view and doesn't ever get past the "this would be cool" phase to actually do anything interesting with the material.

[@petedonegan9651]

I think Batman killing people is world breaking for a number of reasons. The one I don't hear brought up enough is that all his gadgets only exist because he's avoiding killing. Batarangs? Why even make those? You can just use guns. If you're ok killing people, all you're gadgets would be devoted to killing people. That's why the Punisher is Punisher and not Batman.

[@roadtoau]

Yup pretty much. Batfleck was clearly okay with using guns, either just actual guns or guns on his vehicles. So him going around fighting with punches and kicks just makes him look fucking stupid. Without the no kill rule, Batman just does not exist.

He needs to make movies that don’t need a 7 hour directors cut or plans for four sequels in order for us to enjoy them

I refuse to believe that Zack Snyder understands anything. I think he’s learnt how to do and make things, but has no idea why any of it does or doesn’t work. His explanations are almost always completely surface level.

How dare you call In-n-Out a dirty burger! They use real ingredients and cook in an open kitchen so you can see what is going on. Sure, it's still packed with fat, but it's natural fat and they wrap it so you can use the paper to keep your fingers from getting messy. Honestly. In-n-Out is one of the last fast food places that actually gives you real food in exchange for your money instead of trying to feed you whatever cheap animal products meet the FDA description of meat.

I came into dbz when goku was on namek he was in the bacta tank. I was hooked. Dragon ball was awesome. Then new ones. I'm not sure what ppl think of it anymore . It was popular in the late 90s but then suddenly dbz was baby anime. The anime that losers watch. Loved dragon ball, too. Thank you for the laughs, guys . Im so glad i came into this show 7 years late. It's amazing background noise for my a.d.d. doesn't matter if it was yesterday or 7 years ago.

I watched two documentaries recommended by James and mason. Robodoc on the making of the first Robocop. Also Here Comes A New Challenger on the making of Street Fighter II. Both great watch

Zack Snyder is unhinged.

Love how faceless excutives are making these terrible movies like madam web and then are angry at actors for trying to save face. Totally normal people.

They just announced a new Dragon Ball anime series to start this autumn, I believe. It was featured on the news scroll on the trains in Tokyo today.

Toriyama shaped so much of my childhood with dragon ball I really hope they don't botch the future archs that he already wrote when they inevitably adapt them

Fun fact during the production of super Mario’s brothers movie there was a persistent glitch animators were working with which pushed their crunch time even further & was causing a tint through out the animation leading to its nickname on set of blue harvest

The thing about Oppenheimer is... would it have done as well without Barbie? It may have done well and made its money back, but would it have brought in as much.

The true lore behind waluigi and wario is wario hated Mario and Luigi and wanted to be the bad version of mario and Luigi so he hires a struggling character actor named Jimmy Papadopalis and made him legally change his name to waluigi and pretend to be his evil brother…I saw that in an old Nintendo book that they used to sell so you could get the lore for the characters

[@Joyboy9891]

I love dragon ball it’s one of my favorite IP’s to date. I also started with the cell saga while it was airing on tv and it won me over so fast. It was the gateway drug that got me into anime.

[@J.O.R.D]

18:50 I was abouttt to say I guarantee they do that at some point😂
