''The Punisher'' & ''Punisher: Warzone'' are Rated ''R'' & I enjoyed both of em though of course they didn't do great at the box office & weren't ''loved'' by most critics.

I'm not really on board with either DC or Marvel's movie universes right now. Age of Ultron left me underwhelmed, their exclusion of Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne has pretty much turned me off of watching any more of their mythology(seriously, replacing Hank and Janet with Scott Lang?), and as for Superman vs. Batman, it really doesn't make sense to call it "Dawn of Justice" if Batman is in his twilight. The Justice League is formed when Bruce Wayne was young, not in his 50's. I appreciate Zack Snyder wanting to homage Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but it's the wrong context. Bruce and Clark were old comrades turned adversaries in that story, not...whatever they are in that trailer. And Clark's mother telling him he owes the world nothing? Does Snyder even understand these characters at all?

He's making them grim and gritty. He doesn't care about things like history or characterization.

I guess right now I'm not too excited about their films this year either. I'm excited mostly about DC & Marvel's upcoming films though mostly for next year & 2017. We'll finally get to see Black Panther on the big screen. Supposedly in ''X-Men: Apocalypse'' characters could wear their costumes.

I think I may be in the minority I am fine with the direction DC is doing. I am only really looking forward to Infinity War I & II and the upcoming Civil War regards to MCU. I am not really interested in Black Panther & Doctor Strange. Inhumans is back and forth. Ant Man I am caving because little cousins want to see it.

I really don't have a problem with Ma Kent said either. Superman doesn't owe the planet anything. He chose to be a hero because it's in his nature help not because he owes it to the planet.

I don't have any strong feelings either way about DC, so I don't really care where they head.

Can make a supporter or fan of them all I suppose. It's all good. Everyone is entitled to feel what they feel. I am hoping it works out. I want competition and alternative to Marvel and movies being done with characters I actually care about. Just so happens alot of them with DC Comics. So personally I am rooting for them.

I've never been a big fan of DC overall, but if the movie is good, I'll watch it regardless of which company it came from. It just so happens that I haven't thought any of the recent DC movies I've watched have been that good.

LOL for me it's the opposite. I'm not a Marvel fan but I'll watch the movies. I am a DC girl and I've thought (with the exception of Green Lantern), that the movies were pretty good.

Either way looking forward to both the DC and the Marvel movies that are coming out.

I think the Nolan Batman movies are good, but I think that the critics have overrated them, especially the second one.

How recent? ''Man of Steel'' was pretty good I thought. DC has only released 1 Live Action film though each year beginning in 2008, so not much to go by compared to Marvel. The only 1 that was disappointing to me was ''Jonah Hex''. I do still need to see ''Kingsman: The Secret Service''. It has gotten some good reviews.

While it is technically a part of DC, I personally consider Vertigo stuff separate from their superhero stuff. Kinda like how I don't consider Kick-Ass a "Marvel" movie even though it was published by Marvel.

What I don't get is why Green Lantern was so bad.

I mean sure the acting could have used some work but I liked the CGI with the lantern ring creations.
