Last Laugh (Batman, 1989)

1989 saw the release of the most controversial Batman casting until Batfleck. Michael Keaton, known almost entirely for comedies such as Mr. Mom, Johnny Dangerously and Gung Ho was cast as Batman…oh the horror and oh the wailing. A long tradition of freaking out over casting began right here. People were a bit more open to Jack Nicholson playing the Joker.

As it turned out, Keaton was okay in the role. His Batman was appropriately serious, while his take on Bruce Wayne was an interesting approach. His Bruce Wayne seems to be constantly distracted. After the 1960’s series, Batman’s comics had returned to a darker version of the character. A dark soul, haunted by his parents’ deaths at the hands of a low level criminal. People feared Keaton would make this more 60’s Batman, rather than the Dark Knight Returns.

With Tim Burton at the helm, the film was a dark and gothic affair filled with crime bosses and corrupt police officers. And the fabled Batman haunting the city. In a attempt to thwart a mob crime, Batman knocks aspiring Crime Boss Jack Napier into a vat of chemicals. He emerges with a chalk white complexion and a new smile. He goes off and takes over the Grissom (Carl Grissom, played by Jack Palance) criminal Empire. This leads to an ongoing battle with Batman.

The film has a great cast, headlined by Keaton, Nicholson and Kim Basinger. They are supported by a crew of character actors and well known faces. You have Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent, Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon and the glue that held the franchise together? Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth, Batman’s trusted butler and aide.

While the visuals are grand, the Joker’s motives seem supremely mundane. He wants to be a mobster. And woo Vicki Vale. He may be cruel and ruthless, but so are lots of mob bosses in the movies. Take away the grin and face-paint? He would not stand out. Batman’s greatest weakness is not Keaton, but the fact that he cannot even turn his head. The costumes look good in still shots, but seem goofy when Keaton is having to turn his whole body to look around.

In addition, Commissioner Gordon and Harvey Dent feel more like set decorations than characters. They are almost entirely inconsequential to the story. They seem to be there because they have to…it is a Batman movie. Gough is the bright spot in the film. His Alfred is kind and wise. He is not as involved in the day to day support of Batman, he is more there to support Bruce Wayne.

While 1989’s Batman is not terrible, it does not quite stand the test of time. It is still enjoyable, but it does not live up to the character’s full potential.

Back to the Swamp (the Return of Swamp Thing, 1989)

One of the writers of the Return of Swamp Thing went on to write the screenplay for the beloved Disney comedy Hokus Pocus. On the other hand, it is directed by Jim Wynorski, He has a spotty record and his later career includes films with “breast” or “busty” in the title. And it is not a good sign when your hero monster appears and is asked who he is…he responds, “They call me…Swamp Thing”.

The film switches to Arcane’s mansion. Arcane is inexplicably alive and human again (okay, in fairness, half way through, they explain it). Arcane is played by the returning Louis Jourdan. He is trying to master Holland’s formula with the help of scientist Dr. Lana Zurell (played by Superman II’s Sarah Douglas). They are ending up with a series of mutations. Borrowing from the comics, these are the un-men. One is running loose in the swamp, called the Leechman.

Abby Arcane (played by Heather Locklear) arrives trying to make peace with her stepfather, unaware of his diabolical experiments. She roams the swamps and gets into trouble with some moonshiners and is saved by the Swamp Thing. Romance blossoms.

At one point, the film turns into the Little Rascals…if they spent their time looking at porn. The scene is there for comedic relief, and he film justifies their presence by having them go on a quest to get a picture of Swamp Thing. The film is far more comedy action film that never takes it’s source seriously. It rehashes Wes Craven’s film and is full of lines like “Let’s mash him into guacamole” and “Is there a Mrs. Swamp Thing?”

This time around, the Swamp Thing gets to really use the powers afforded him in the comics. He can regrow in new locations…and now he can drive a jeep. The Swamp Thing drives a jeep. The effects are a bit better this time around. Swamp Thing and the monsters look pretty good. The film lacks any sense of urgency, and the music that plays whenever Swamp Thing is being heroic is just amazingly out of place. There are scenes lifted from other films (there is a scene where two characters compare scars, just like in Jaws). Really, the film’s entire tone is off and the film is more camp than horror. Okay…a monster taking a hit from his asthma inhaler is kind of funny.

I will say, the opening credits (which play over a montage of Swamp Thing comic book cover art) look cool.

Born on the Bayou (Swamp Thing, 1982)

During 1972 and 1981, beloved horror director had made five films. His sixth was the coic book movie “Swamp Thing”. Based on the iconic character initially brought to life by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. It was more horror than super-hero and even though it had ended in 1976, producer Michael Uslan had purchased the rights to Swamp Thing and Batman (which would not see the screen for seven more years) out of love for those characters. Craven was more of an upstart, rather than cherished genre director.

The film tells the story of Alec Holland, a scientist, working on a powerful botanical formula with the help of his sister. Alice Cable arrives, on assignment from the government to check in on Holland. It turns out there is a rather bad guy named Arcane who is out to secure the formula for it’s properties. His henchmen try and steal it, which results in a fire that engulfs Alec after he is dowsed in his chemical. Holland runs into the swamp and dies.

Or appears to. He is resurrected as a large stuntman covered in a rubber suit meant to look like muck and plants the swamp. Eventually Arcane pursues Alice and the Swamp Thing and they acquire a sidekick (a little kid named Jude). eventually there is a big rubber suit climactic battle, as Arcane has turned himself into a monster using the formula.

The film was made on a low, low budget. Did I say low? I think it is somewhere beneath the swamp they filmed in. Using a real swamp is one of the best things in the film. Rather than looking like a cheap set, you get some downright beautiful swamp shots.

But Swamp Thing looks like a big rubber suit. Arcane’s monster is rather goofy looking. And the film makes the most of Adrienne Barbeau’s cleavage. The casting in the film is actually quite good. Barbeau’s Alice is tough and yet unsure of the world she is thrown into of monsters and henchmen. Ray Wise, known for his tough guy roles is thoughtful and kind here, giving a real soul to the character. Louis Jourdan is both suave and menacing (two things the film loses when he becomes a monster). Unfortunately the cast is not enough to save this from being a pretty bland adventure full of lifeless special effects.

It has a great poster though.

He’s Back! (Superman Returns, 2006)

So, nearly twenty years later, after numerous failed attempts to bring Superman back to the big screen Warner Brothers managed a major coup. The wrangled Bryan Singer, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris away from the X-Men franchise to bring Superman back. This seemed like a decent idea. One of the things Singer talked about was a love for the character and the first two Superman films. He wanted to stay in a loose continuity with those films and ignore films III ad IV entirely. They set out and found a guy who bore a striking resemblance to Reeve, named Brandon Routh. Truthfully, it would have been wiser to simply begin again with a new continuity, especially since they were starting with an actress ten years younger than Margot Kidder was in Superman II. And to facilitate the “Returns” part they had Superman go on a five year journey to explore the floating rocks of Krypton.

Here is part of the problem with that. In the end of Superman II? Superman promises the President he will never leave the world in the lurch like that again. So, if we are to understand this…Superman very quickly breaks that promise. Superman returns to earth and Clark Kent returns to the Daily Planet…with nobody noticing the huge coincidence. Lois has a child who may be Superman’s (because they had sex in part 2) and has moved on, now dating Perry white’s son Richard White (James Marsden, in a move that caused Cyclops to be killed in X:3 due to scheduling needs). Clark struggles with this, and is bothered by an article written in the time he was gone called “Why the World Doesn’t Need Superman”. In the meantime, Lex Luthor has been scheming by marrying an old wealthy widow who is on her deathbed. She gives Lex everything in her will, as the family stands outside pounding on the door. Why wasn’t Lex in Prison? Superman missed the trial because he left.

Lex goes back to the Fortress of Solitude and starts gathering the green crystals that contain Krypton’s records as well as ones similar to the crystal Clark used to build the Fortress in the first film. He also steals Kryptonite to facilitate a masterful crime. Well, not really. See, Superman is full of loving homages to the first two Superman films. This would not be a problem if it was done sparingly, but almost every shot seems to re-create Singer’s favorite things from the first movie. Clark running towards the camera ripping open his shirt? Of course you pay respects with that. But Lex Luthor making another land grab?! Arg. If they had started over, as a brand new Superman, they could have still used Kevin Spacey and done business man Luthor. Spacey could have defined the role that way. He is great in the role…

Superman saves the day in the end, as expected, but not without getting creepy. Superman keeps watch as he suspects Lois’ son is his son as well. Can we pause a moment and reflect on this. Superman wiped Lois’ memory of their time together. How frightening must it have been to be pregnant with no idea how you got pregnant? And Superman left shortly after, but his super hearing did not pick up on the forming child? Superman runs out on his pregnant girlfriend who he has removed any memory of…and now acts like a jilted ex-lover. It is an embarrassing storyline.

One thing this film does well is it’s actions scenes. Superman’s heroics are grand and exciting. Superman saves people with great feats of strength and heroism. The plane sequence is especially fun to watch.

I also really liked Brandon Routh. I felt that, considering what he was given in the story, he made the most of it. He is likeable most of the time, except those stalker moments. I was sorry to see that this film ended any chance he would return as Superman. If they had started over, we might have seen him begin a new and exciting franchise.

Superman Returns was a disappointing return, ironically enough. It did not revitalize a dormant franchise, it nearly put it to sleep.

The Quest for A Better Story (Superman IV: the Quest for Peace, 1987)

Superman III bombed heavily. Eventually, the rights were sold to Canon Films. Reeve had sworn off ever playing Superman again. But four years later he was back. In part, he was promised that he could be involved with the story. And the story we got was Superman getting rid of all our nuclear weapons. He puts them in a net and hurls them into the son. Gene Hackman is back as Lex Luthor…he gets busted out of prison by his dope of a nephew Lenny (Jon Cryer, looking like he stepped on the set of Hiding Out). His plan is to take advantage of Superman’s plan by using Superman’s DNA (from a strand of Superman’s hair) and get it in with the missiles. He succeeds and creates the weirdest enemy for Superman the screen has seen.

Nuclear Man is Luthor’s creation…and has Luthor’s actual voice. He is super strong, can fly, breathe in space, grow his fingernails long and sharp…he even scratches Superman and makes him sick. Nuclear Man has one weakness

In addition, there is a subplot where businessman David Warfield (Sam Wanamaker)and his attractive daughter Lacy (Mariel Hemingway) are buying the Daily Planet and want to turn it into a tabloid paper. Which would be a decent story-line if the Planet had ever shown itself interested in anything other than fluff pieces in the previous films.

Lacy starts to pursue Clark, while Lois still only has eyes for Superman. This leads to a double date sequence where Reeve keeps switching personas based on which woman he is visiting. Eventually Clark reveals himself to Superman (no worries, she forgets by the end through story magic). This plot feels problematic and unnecessary.

The return of Hackman does not improve the film, his character feels like a cartoonish version of the character he was. If Nuclear Man gave actor Mark Pillow any hope of a big movie career…it appears the film killed it.

This film is quite terrible, and using a plot where Superman solves such a real world issue as nuclear war…it just does not play effectively. The performers all feel like they are sleepwalking through the roles, with little more to say about them. The Quest for Peace really earned it’s terrible reputation. And it killed the Superman Franchise for almost twenty years.

Cut Rate Superman (Superman III, 1983)

Superman three came three years after Superman II, riding high on it’s success, but behind the scenes things looked bleak. There was a divide between some of the cast and the Salkinds over how they had treated Richard Donner. Kidder was not really feeling up to participating. To address this, Perry sends her off to the tropics, while sending Clark to do a story in Smallville at his High School Reunion.

Rally, this seems like a plausible idea. There is a rich cast of characters to draw from. And they draw from Clark’s past with introducing Lana Lang, played by Annette O’Toole (who was later brought on Smallville to play Martha Kent). O’Toole makes a fetching Lana Lang.

The other big addition to the cast was computer genius Gus Gorman. Played by comedy legend Richard Pryor, he gets a lot of blame from folks for this film. He plays his traditional nervous twitchy type of character. Except, I have a hard time pinning this on Pryor. Richard joked to Johnny Carson about wanting to be in a Superman movie. He felt the script was terrible…but the five million dollar paycheck was to good to pass up. Gorman is a computer super-genius who starts working for Ross Webster’s company. He writes a program that pays him fractions of cents that the company loses daily due to mathematical rounding up of numbers. He makes millions and is brought to the attention of Webster (played by Robert Vaughn). Webster and his sister Vera are schemers and want to take over the world. Ross also has his own Miss Tessmacher, Lorelei (Pamela Stephenson). Her primary purpose is some impressive cleavage. They use Gus to create a supercomputer and also work to get Superman out of the way. They manufacture Krytonite and use tar in place of an ingredient they cannot fine. The result is that Superman goes dark. He starts causing damage, being means, getting drunk. And then he fights Clark Kent in a junk yard. This is without a doubt the high point of the entire film.

Webster is like a second hand version of Lex Luthor, and the character has for less weight. You can see the giant hole left by not having Lex Luthor or a larger scale villain (such as Braniac, one character they thought about using in Superman III).

The smaller character moments are okay, like when Clark sees Lana’s son being bullied in a bowling alley and sneezes to shoot her son’s bowling ball into the pins. But for the most part, the film falls flat. It is not a very good film and Reeve swore off the role of Superman.

Superman II the Remix (Superman II, The Donner Cut, 2006)

Assemble almost 30 years later, the Donner cut restores the original footage Donner shot and also uses some of the Lester material to fill in the blanks. It was not assembled by Donner, but it had his blessing.

And in many, many ways, it improves the movie. Gone are the weird additional powers. Gone is the opening Eiffel Tower sequence. Instead we have Lois trying to prove Clark Kent is Superman by jumping out a window of the Daily Planet. Which is pretty absurd. In a way, it is reminiscent of the Bible story where Satan tries to Tempt Jesus by suggesting if he jumps off the temple, Angels will save him. And this is not Lois being a smart reporter, this is her doing something dumb.

The stuff that works, works very well and make this a pretty fun watch. But some of the additions are problematic. While the Super-Kiss to rob Lois of her memory is gone, Superman’s resolution is to fly the world backwards. As I noted in the Review of Superman the Movie, this bit was meant to be the ending of Superman II. As they had no ending shot by Donner, they re-use the sequence, and he reverses time to the point that the Kryptonian criminals are again trapped in the Phantom Zone once more. But this creates all sorts of problems. Superman is supposedly making it so the entire second film never happens. The criminals never get loose, Clark never reveals his identity to Lois, they never visit the cafe. Yet Clark goes back to the Cafe and beats up the trucker. Who must have no idea why a guy he has never seen before walked in and started insulting him. This is not Superman.

And reversing time does not mean the cycle won’t begin again, unless Superman avoids the situation that freed Zod, Ursa and Non in the first place. End why should we have cared about any of it if Superman completely undoes everything? So, even the Donner cut has problems. Superman still causes a lot of destruction in his fight with his Kryptonian foes. They still lose their powers and get kills by Superman and Lois. I am told the novelization claims they survived…apparently they landed on pillows or something…but the novelization is not the movie. It is pretty obvious they are dead.

So, why more entertaining and slightly less frustrating than Lester’s cut, the Donner Cut is plenty flawed on it’s own.

Bring on the Bad Guys (Superman 2, 1980)

Superman the Movie and Superman II were filmed back to back, but director Richard Lester came in when there was friction between the Salkinds and Donner. He threw out a lot of what Donner filmed and started over. Remember Zod and his Cronies? They are still floating through space in the Phantom Zone. When Superman thwarts a terrorist plot by launching a bomb into space, they are set free and make their way to earth.

Superman 2 is often held up as a standard of great sequels and a great super-hero film. Unfortunately, it is not. The film has Superman (and Zod, Ursa and Non) developing random powers and weapons. Their heat vision suddenly can be used as tractor beams, Superman’s logo can turn is a giant cellophane bag, they can shoot beams from their fingers.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some good points. The Villains are frightening at times. Terrance Stamp is menacing and arrogant, while Douglas plays Ursa with a disinterested flair. She is slightly amused by earthlings, but she could never care, she lacks all compassion.

There is a story in which Lois and Clark must pose as newlyweds. This leads to the reveal of Clark’s secret to Lois, which leads to them running off for romance. Superman and Lois hide away in the Fortress of Solitude, completely unaware of the arrival of the Kryptonian criminals. Superman realizes that to be with Lois, he must give up his power. He consults with his Mother Lara (well, a hologram of her and she shows him a machine that will bath him in the light of a red sun and make him human. You can see where this is going. When Lois and Clark start to make their way home, Clark tries to defend Lois at a cafe. A trucker beats the crap out of him. This moment is actually really well handled, Reeve really sells Clark’s startling realization that he is no longer the strongest man alive. But then Clark learns of Zod.

So, Superman’s human life is a short lived one. Even though the Fortress was damaged and he was told the process was irreversible… Clark gets his powers back off screen. This leads to a dramatic fight in the city. You know, for all the criticism Man of Steel gets for it’s destruction, Superman II has Superman carelessly throwing the criminals through building, the character beating each other into the ground and so on. There is little concern for the city.

One of the other good points is the duplicitous nature of Lex Luthor. Towards the beginning he breaks out of prison and then runs off to the Fortress of Solitude. He starts listening to the information from Lara…considering Lara can hold conversations with Superman, I am not sure why she cannot react to Lex. Luthor helps the Kryptonians attempt to take over the world (they promise to give him Australia). But when things look tough, he is quick to side with Superman (for Survival).

One of the big problems is the film has a Superkiss that robs Lois of her memories of who Superman is…and he also goes back to the cafe to humiliate the trucker. This is not Superman. And his character is tarnished for a joke. Superman II does not hold up, and is actually a weaker film than it’s predecessor. And more recent Super-hero films are vastly superior.

Young Superman(Superman the Movie, 1978)

Richard Donner’s Superman is often presented as a more upbeat and hopeful film than more recent Superhero efforts. And, in a lot of ways, it is a brighter view overall. Donner opens the film with life on Krypton. His version of Krypton has influenced countless versions of Superman. It became a ruling vision. And I get it…it is a society and world at it’s end. But the severely antiseptic frozen tundra look is actually unpleasant and does not really speak of an advanced society. Jor-El is introduced presiding over the trial of General Zod and his army. Well, him, Ursa and Non. Not really an army. What stands out was that in the middle of this trial, Zod tries to convince Jor-El to join him. And then they are zapped by a giant reflective record sleeve. Then, they never appear in the rest of the film.

Jor-El declare the planet is soon to die and is mocked by his fellow scientists who make him commit to staying on the planet. We all know the story, found by the Kents, young Kal El is raised as a typical Kansas kid. These moments are great. They show the thought the Kents have tried to install in their son. Clark’s struggle to not use his powers for only his gain is evident. Clark wants to be the football star and get dates with cheerleaders. But he also knows it would be a cheat to use his powers to succeed in that fashion. And when Pa Kent dies? Glenn Ford is barely on screen for any meaningful amount of time…and yet it is a real gut punch.

The Fortress of Solitude used to be a giant cave with a giant door. Now it is a spiky crystal building with no doors. Here he learns from holograms of his father. When he enters the world, he is ready to be Superman. One of the things Donner did right is that he fills the film with Superman…an it is Superman saving people over and over again. Sure, he stops crime as well, but saving people is his main gig.

Lois Lane is shown as a tough reporter (who cannot spell) who has little notice of new Reporter Clark Kent, but then swoons when Superman appears on the screen. This is not a negative, for one thing, she still follows her instincts when Superman shows up for an interview, clearly smitten with her. Kidder and Reeve have terrific chemistry in the film and Lois is fun and daring.

We are introduced to Lex Luthor via his bumbling lackey Otis. Ned Beatty is entertaining, though a bit over the top in his mindlessness. Hackman’s Luthor is a change from the comics of the time. He is still brilliant, but instead of super armor, he is simply a criminal mastermind. It is a bit over the top, but Hackman makes it work. The third spoke in the wheel is Valerie Perrine’s Miss Tessmacher. I am unsure exactly what her purpose is. I mean, Perrine is undeniably sexy in the role and appears in a variety of revealing outfits. But she seems distant for a girlfriend, and yet a lot of what she does is lounge around. She does play the role of “distraction”in part of Luthor’s plan. Oh, and that plan…

Luthor is planning to make a land grab…this becomes a running thing for him in the movies. He plans to blow California off the map and sell land. I do not see how this really would be an effective plan. Seriously, the guy who stole two missiles from the army and used them to blow up a sizeable chunk of land is going to be able to own and sell land?

Superman is a pretty fun movie with a really impressive cast. The weakest moment is the weird “Superman spins the earth to Fix Things. This was actually meant for the sequel, which Donner was already filming alongside this film. But the studio wanted him to use it to give this a big bang of an ending.

But all in all, Superman the Movie is a fun film for kids of all ages.

Suicidal Tendencies (Suicide Squad, 2016)

After the cool reception to Batman V Superman from critics and fans alike (It has it’s supporters) DC and Warner Brother started providing hype for Suicide Squad to divert attention. Set to classic hard rock music the trailers screamed “This will be fun and exciting!”

Suicide Squad, for the uninitiated was a DC Comic written by John Ostrander (he actually was reviving an earlier comic, but the Suicide Squad as it is known now was Ostrander’s baby). It was a government task force that forced some of DC’s baddest villains to take high risk jobs for our government in return for reduced sentences. Of course, nobody was expected to survive long enough to get to take advantage of their reward. Not a bad idea.

The film always seemed out of place for the DC Cinematic Universe. We are actually meeting some of the enemies of heroes we have barely met. Including Suicide Squad? We have about two minutes of Flash time. I am including that Justice League trailer from SDCC. And this is actually one of the big problems with the film. They are trying to fill in so much information, we are bogged down with tons of background. The cast is pretty large, causing more than one character to get little to do. Killer Croc has a few moments, but gets little to do until the very end of the film.

I wondered how the Kitana character would fit in (she is not a villain in the comics). Here she is pretty much a baby-sitter until the final act. It feels more like they put her in the film in case they wanted to use her in the future and she would already be established.

The emphasis on the Joker and Harley Quinn relationship is that it…well, polishes up their relationship. We do get a moment that makes it clear that the Joker tortures Harley Quinn before she takes on the identity. The film apparently cut a lot of bit that really suggested the relationship was abusive. It could have been an interesting opportunity to have her standing against the Joker, but instead, she keeps running back to him. Harley Quinn is also often forced into the position of eye candy. The character has always had a sense of being…innocent. Like she just thinks she is being wacky and funny. Like when little kids insult grown up and are “only teasing”. One scene has her dressing in public, looking around and realize everyone is staring and then just asking “what?” Had Robbie not been stuck in outfits putting her on display throughout the film, that might have been more effectively funny.

Jared Leto’s Joker has been the source of much criticism and concern for many fans. I have run into many fans who were tired of him long before the film saw release. And I did feel like he was one of the weaker links of the film. Not because the performance was terrible…but rather the performance was inconsistent. He has an effective scary laugh which is barely used in the film. Sometimes he seems bored, but other times he is very menacing.

And yet, in spite of these things? I enjoyed the film quite a bit. I felt it worked far better than Man of Steel or Batman V Superman. Smith’s Deadshot is an interesting character who on the one hand is a deadly sharpshooter and a doting father. While not a wholly original dichotomy, it works pretty well here. Harley Quinn’s big focus is as the Joker’s Girlfriend. In spite of this, Robbie really captures the core of the character. She seems carefree, but yet dangerous. Almost sickeningly sweet, all while being thrilled by mayhem. Robbie is endlessly engaging. Viola Davis brought Amanda Waller to life in an amazing way. She was every bit as frightening as she should have been.

The big surprise for me was Diablo. I went in knowing next to nothing about him other than he was the fire guy. His character is a pacifist refusing to use his power for fear he will lose control and kill people.

The action is pretty easy to follow as it unfolds on the screen, and aside from the obligatory slow motion shot towards the end, is exciting to watch. The fact that you really have a bunch of characters that want nothing more to walk away makes a “Let’s Do this” speech entering into the final act really tough. Yet, somehow, the group choosing to act as a team works.

The rumor is that a lot of the humor was from re-shoots demanded by Warner Brothers. If that is the case, good call from Warner Brothers. The film peppers humor through out the film that works effectively at keeping the characters likeable. I know that there have been some real rough reviews…but I avoided reading them so far because I wanted to see the film without pre-set expectations of terribleness. And I walked out entertained. I am not saying it is a great film. Of the Super-hero films we have had this year? I still give it to Captain America: Civil War. But I had fun, and that can be hard to say with DC films as of late.
