New Batman v Superman Trailer

I'm sure there will be more votes for Kidder.

It may be the kid in me, since I grew up with Kidder... but she was tough, vulnerable, had good comedic timing.... she was great for that era of Superman, since he was all those things as well..... I don't know how she would hold up to todays "Darker Superman", or That love stuck "Superman Returns" thingamajig.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

For some reason that's what everyone does. Like they both can't be good. Sure compare which is better, but it always devolves into everything DC sucks.

nature of the beast.

Yeah, every time. I hate Adams acting. Her voice over in American Hustle is God awful. Feels like shes reading fro, a page, her voice doesn't project well.

I must be honest. I didn't see the Amy Adams criticism coming.

I personally don't mind her... but she didn't share the limelight imo. I do however think Ms Adams is a solid actress, not to mention a cute redhead.

I think Kidder could pull off the the tough/vulnerable acting dynamic pretty well in today's films. She would need to update the comedic aspect somewhat. The humor is more dry and sarcastically done now.

Kidder looked like she reeked of cheap vodka and cigarettes. Yuck.

That was part of her charm!... Why do you think she always had a frog in her throat? Smirnoff's, & Virginia Slims!

I think the storyline and the updated relationship of Kent and Lane had somewhat to do with them not hogging MoS limelight. Kidder's role was more reminiscent (sp?) of professional women in her era's feminist movement. Her role demonstrated to the audience how a professional woman was persevering in a male dominanted workplace. Her tenacity was to convince other co-workers she was independent. Adams' role was more a reflection of today's professional woman. She recognizes barriers but also knows she has overcome them and doesn't care if her peers resent her independence. Kidder "needed" Reeve more than Adams "needed" Cavill. Just a sign of the times. There was less need for the latter pair to share the limelight required for the first pair.

I thought some of that was testosterone.

I agree with this... doesn't change how I enjoyed the character.

hahaha....
hey she was cute before the business caught up to her... (which happened very quickly it seems..)

Forget cute. That's flat out pretty. Over time I think her mental illness put a lot of stress on her looks also.

that and the vodka and cigs...

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

For some crazy reason when I read your reply I keep remembering Kidder's line of "You got me??? Who's got you???" We agree to disagree. I respect your opinion.

Yup. That was her "leave the gun,make the cannoli" line of her career. (One ad libbed of course)

Respect. As do I.

We are comic geeks. Take pride in that! Lol

One of the buildings was a Wayne Industries office building. I'm betting some people he knows die when that building was destroyed.

And the alternative was the end of the human race.

The bathroom scene in american hustle was hot though... She pulled that off!! Heh heh

Not a fan of her at all either. I think she's terrible, and never more terrible than in Man of Steel. I have no idea how or why she was ever cast in the role.

In related news, the first trailer for Suicide Squad is out.



How in the world will this garner a PG-13? Or do they even want it to? Needless to say, it looks pretty bad-hiney.

The same could be said of a Star Wars actress.
