Austin Mayor Hilariously Trolls Critic of Wonder Woman Female- Only Screenings. Way to keep Austin weird, Mayor Adler. Austin Mayor Steve Adler stepped into the debate over Alamo Drafthouse’s female- only “Wonder Woman” screenings, posting a letter from a man threatening to boycott the city over the screenings, along with his own hilarious response to the critic. According to Adler’s website, the mayor received an email on May 2. Richard A. Ameduri, who wrote, “hope every man will boycott Austin and do what he can to diminish Austin and to cause damage to the city’s image. The theater that pandered to the sexism typical of women will, I hope, regret it’s approved,” groused one male. “I love Alamo Drafthouse and watch all my movies with y’all (and still will), but separating any group from another is very odd,” observed another. “Could you imagine the anger and outrage from the liberal staff of Alamo if Trump held an all male screening at the white house or even if another theatre did an all male screening ” vented another male. In a statement to The. Wrap, Alamo Drafthouse said, “Obviously, Alamo Drafthouse recognizes ‘Wonder Woman’ is a film for all audiences, but our special women- only screenings may have created confusion – we want everybody to see this film. ”The DC Comics universe hasnt flooded the big screen quite the way Marvel ones have, but the DC brand has been hitting the big screen longer in the modern era. We ranked all those modern flicks, from Superman: The Movie to The LEGO Batman Movie. 3. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1. Christopher Reeve is by far the best Superman. But Superman IV is a bomb in every sense partly because of its heavy- handedness about bombs. Nuclear bombs. The film finds Superman trying to eliminate the worlds nuclear threat, but his best intentions run afoul of a silly, badly dated villain named Nuclear Man. Supergirl (1. 98. We had a female- superhero movie in 1. But hey, at least they tried. The best thing I can say about it is there are worse things in life than this movie. Steel (1. 99. 7)Best known as the one Shaq was in back when he tried acting, Steel is pretty bad. But the fun kind of bad. Man of Steel (2. Could have been worse, I guess. But its still morally gross and has a plot that doesnt make sense. That its very pretty to look at doesnt override those things nearly enough to make it watchable. Catwoman (2. 00. Thoroughly horrible, but somehow amusing even so Sad that its seemingly been swept into the litter box of history. Batman Robin (1. Rightly hated, but its tremendously entertaining here and there. Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzeneggar are going so far over the top I cant help but admire them. Superman III (1. Featured a brilliant corporate rip- off one later referenced in Office Space but the attempt to funny things up with the addition of Richard Pryor didnt gel. There was also a weird bit about a weather satellite creating bad weather, which isnt what weather satellites do. Seeing Clark Kent fight Superman was pretty cool, though. Green Lantern (2. Overreliance on cartoony visual effects during a period when big blockbusters were moving away from that aesthetic meant this was a movie nobody liked. Not that it was especially horrible. It just looked like a dumb cartoon and is hard to watch. The Dark Knight Rises (2. Probably wasnt intended to be a grim and gritty Shumacher Batmovie, but that is indeed what it is. This is Nolan going full Hollywood, smashing plot points into place by sheer force of will rather than because they make sense. An extremely theatrical Tom Hardy as Bane is amusing front to back, and a nuke with a countdown clock on it will never get old. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2. A total mess that hates Superman and turns Batman into a total maniac. None of those things are good. Ben Affleck cant save the thing, but hes excellent nonetheless and gives it a huge bump it probably doesnt deserve. Watchmen (2. 00. I have no particular affection for the revered Watchmen comic the way a lot of other nerds do, so my distaste for this adaptation isnt personal. It just doesnt add up to nearly as much as it thinks it does. Batman (1. 98. 9)Fondly remembered mostly because it was the first Batmovie in a couple decades. It isnt actually very good, though. The reveal that a younger version of the Joker killed Bruce Waynes parents is as hamfistedly dumb as it gets in a Batman movie. V for Vendetta (2. Felt nothing watching this. I tried, OK. Its impeccably made, though, and very watchable. Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition (2. Giving this its own slot because it fundamentally changes the narrative of the movie and the character of Superman in the DC Extended Universe. This version is still not great (especially at three freaking hours), but its a monumental improvement over the theatrical version. Red 2 (2. 01. 3) Did you even know these were comic book movies Whatever, its a great cast in a serviceable action movie and everybodys having a good time. Hard to remember, but fun. Red (2. 01. 0)Better than its sequel, but theyre basically the same. The Dark Knight (2. Should be way shorter, but Heath Ledgers Joker is far and away the best villain in any of these movies. Ledger elevates what would otherwise be just another self- indulgent Christopher Nolan exercise into an endlessly watchable picture. Batman Forever (1.
