      1, Alas I can't recommend new Justice League movie. Batman v. Superman was awful but fascinating in its badness. New movie just mediocre.

      2. Biggest disappointment is that this is as close as we're going to get to a Jack Kirby Fourth World movie & it banalizes Kirby's concepts.

      3. Key example here is the Mother Box, which in movie just functions as analogue to rings of power in Lord of the Rings.

      4. Kirby's Mother Box, by contrast, was bizarre & visionary: an AI handheld device with nurturing powers.https://twitter.com/BetaTestingTomK/status/929078035084660737 …

      5. Kirby's version of Mother Box was goofy but also resonates with how we've all become integrated with technologypic.twitter.com/CaLB27JFLH

      6. This goes to the larger tonal problem. Kirby did cosmic space opera but with varied tone, ranging from sublime to ridiculous.

      7. Kirby's cosmic comics were grandiose at times, but also buoyant, bouncy, kinetically goofy. Synder's tonal range is just dour & pained.

      8. At this stage I think most DC cinematic universe should be junked & re-built, maybe using Wonder Woman movie as template.

      9. Beyond that, people should read Kirby's Fourth World books, which have hundreds of ideas worth stealing (as George Lucas knows).

      10. Another thing about the Mother Box: it's a very suggestive Freudian name, deliberately so.

      11. I have no idea whether Kirby was in therapy or read Freud, but his 1960s/1970s work full of Freudian referencespic.twitter.com/zYvflnQ9h0

          "It's the first scene with our heroes are teamed up together, how can we make it look dynamic and exciting?" "Just have them all lined up in a big sewer pipe watching a guy, and for the love of Pete make sure we can't possibly get a decently framed shot of them all at once."
