Civil War is a ton of fun Moviesnob Feb 13, 20:12

Just because the movie goes to dark places doesnt mean its as dark as BvS. the stakes are serious thats all {nm} Moviesnob Feb 13, 20:15

its not guardians or ant man, but theres humor. Its tone about the same as Winter Soldier {nm} Moviesnob Feb 13, 20:27

This is great news. I think Suicide Squad and Civil War will show that there is a big interest in dark superhero stories. {nm} Willroast Feb 13, 21:02

IDK, I think Affleck is going to be great as Batman, might even be the highlight. {nm} ~JPV~ Feb 13, 23:12

I've been skeptical since he was first rumored, but if he can keep that stupid grin of his in check as Batman than he may be alright. {nm} Dorfman Feb 14, 01:51

Big if. {nm} VicMackeyYTD Feb 14, 02:06

HUGE. I'll expect is as Bruce Wayne, but not as the bat. {nm} RREYN Feb 14, 06:13
