I liked the first one. Not a perfect movie by any stretch, but I liked it. The second one? Yeah, it sucked. No argument from me there.

That doesn't make him a bad Spiderman Yes because we NEED another reboot of Spiderman. Even more so with some kid who can't act.

This was fan-theory based on the fact the last series was Amazing (another Spider-Man comic title. Would prefer that, yes but I can't crap on the current name until we see trailers and how it fits. I do like the rumor of the Vulture being on the big screen. That is one thing I love about Sony dkoing Spider-Man besides the protagonist core (the Parker's, Gwen, MJ, Harry) they bring in different villains to make the films different. Now if only another pair of comics turned movies could do that...

Looking at you Batman and Superman

No Spider-Man villain has been written that well since Spider-Man 2's Doc Ock, IMO. They're just going down the list!

(They had better get around to Kraven sometime!)

I think the Batman villains we've gotten so far have ranged from awesome (both Jokers, with Ledger's being my #1 pick) to embarrassing (TLJ's Two-Face and Ahnuld's Freeze). Nolan did bring Bane to the screen, whereas the studio wanted Riddler.

Same with Superman. (Nuclear wot?) Michael Shannon's Zod was awesome, and we did get Faora from Byrne's run (but yeah, they're Kryptonians). In the future, expect to see the likes of Brainiac, Mongul, Metallo and some form of Amazo (for a JL villain).

Superman has had Zod and/or Luthor in every movie besides the third movie. Bane was in Batman & Robin as well. The only fresh villains were those in the first movie for Batman Begins. If I want to see those villains, I can watch those films. Spider-Man has not had repeat villains other than the Harry Osbourne Green Goblin. Everything else is fresh. You can't use oh they're great, to sugar coat the fact they cycle back to those characters.

IF we see Superman in a standalone movie or perhaps a Justice League film, I can see Brainiac based on the events in Batman V. Superman bit for now besides Richard Donner's Superman, Superman fits George R.R. Martin's problem with Marvel villains... However no-one complains about that.

I'm pretty sure I said some of them sucked.

Batman Forever's Bane was right out of the comics—but he was little more than wallpaper. TDKR Bane was Nolan-ized and a major character.

Nobody's disputing Luthor showing up in many Superman films, (he's not in MoS), but if we pretend Superman Returns never happened, that's one less movie.

Metallo was rumored for a long time for BvS. We'll definitely see Brainiac at some point. If Mongul shows up, he'll be a punching bag (like Ultron, but hopefully with dialogue nowhere near as silly).

You were saying?

There was a LOT of rumors in BvS whether it was Metallo, Brianiac, Riddler, how much of the JLA we'd see, Jenna Malone being Carrie Kelly
Spoiler
she is really Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and is in the extended cut
etc.

With Spider-Man eventually I do want to see another Doc Oct, Veno! and another Norman Osborne Green Goblin maybe not in film one but there are a lot of Spider-Man villains I want to see get their due including Vulture, Kraven, Carnage, Beetle, Hobgoblin (maybe Mark Hammil as Jason?) among others.
