Don’t hit my friend
Watch The Heat Online With Snyder, Cavill and Goyer all reteaming that means that the biggest problem to solve in the Batman/Superman movie is finding someone to play Batman. Dark Knight Trilogy star Christian Bale has officially said that his time as the Caped Crusader is over, and that it’s time to find a new actor to wear the cowl, but “who?” remains a major and unanswered question. Goyer has suggested that the arrival of Superman and the events in Man of Steel are what inspire heroes and vigilantes to start wearing costumes – so perhaps the Batman we meet in the new movie will be a fresh faced Bruce Wayne who has only just begun fighting crime.
Watch Blue Jasmine Online With so many key members of Man of Steel coming back it’s hard not to see the Batman/Superman movie as primarily being a sequel to this summer’s hit – which makes us wonder how much of Batman’s world the 2015 blockbuster will feature. Will they need to find a new actor to play Alfred? What about Commissioner Gordon? Could the movie end up just being entirely set in Metropolis – leaving out all of Batman’s supporting cast - and save the new Gotham to be established in a separate Batman film? It’s still a bit early in the process for us to have access to details like those, but we hope that they start leaking out over the next few months.
Watch Despicable Me 2 Online When director James Mangold was selected to direct The Wolverine, I was admittedly surprised. Sure, he had action movies like Knight and Day and 3:10 to Yuma on his résumé, but he’s also the director of the bubbly rom-com Kate & Leopold and the quintessential coming-of-age drama Girl, Interrupted. He’d made gritty action movies typically targeted at men…as well as heartfelt films clearly aimed at women. It was a filmography that made it hard to predict what he might have in store for his take on the superhero genre.
Watch The Heat Online After taking a close look at the summer's women in action movies, I used a recent press conference for The Wolverine as a chance to ask Mangold about his approach to representing women in the film. His answer was thoughtful and direct: "I didn't think about representing women per say. I just thought about strong female characters, as I have in all my movies. I didn't want women to be objects just of jeopardy, but actually full-blooded characters. And I think that each one of these ladies is actually hugely different from another. I think that was hugely important as well."
Watch The Lone Ranger Online Then again, at the same press event, Hugh Jackman said that women were Wolverine's “Achille’s heel.” Either way, it means that in The Wolverine women are as crucial to defining the titular character as his adamantium claws. But does that mean they're as “full-blooded” as Mangold claimed. Are the women of Wolverine more than the objects of jeopardy or objects of lust that female characters in comics so often are? Yes! But also no. Let’s begin by considering the character Wolverine fans are most familiar with. Jean Grey (played by Famke Janssen) has appeared in three previous X-Men movies, and here the long-dead heroine returns to Logan in his dreams, sometimes as a comfort, sometimes as a curse. It’s left up to the viewer to determine whether she’s a ghost or a figment of Logan’s guilt-ridden imagination. But whether or not she’s “real” doesn’t matter, as Mangold rejects the tempting trope to make her a two-dimensional anchor around the hero’s neck. Instead, Jean is presented as a complex character made up of love and some understandable resentment.
Watch Iron Man 3 Online Whether she’s a ghost or his guilt, she feels like a full-blooded ex-lover, torn between her devotion to the Logan she knew yet repulsed by the way they ended things. (You know, by him stabbing her in the heart to save the world.) Theirs may not be a typical break up, but it is one to which we can relate on some level as both characters were carefully crafted here and in their previous movies.But Wolverine’s new love interest is less well defined. Without three past films to pull from, elegant heiress Mariko Yashida (Tao Okamoto) falls flat onscreen. She tells us she’s a prize-winning sword fighter, and we get to witness her battle Yakuza killers a bit. Still, her main function in the film is as Wolverine’s mellow romance object/damsel in distress. Mariko’s defining characteristic is her traditional obedience to the wishes of her father (like an arranged marriage to a sleazy political figure) and her grandfather (who bequeaths her with a company she never wanted). Despite her fighting skills, she mostly comes off as a blushing flower who needs protecting from the big bad world.
While she’s not solely an object of jeopardy, it is undeniably her primary function in the film with whole sequences dedicated to Wolverine keeping her away from killers. More complex and intriguing is another new Japanese character, Yukio (Rila Fukushima). While Mariko projects elegance and submissiveness with her soft-colored clothes and demure attitude, Yukio exudes rebellion with her no-nonsense demeanor, and funky fashion. She quickly establishes herself as Logan’s equal by showing off her cryptic mutant ability—being able to predict peoples’ deaths—and proving a stupendous fight partner in a bloody bar brawl. Later, she tells Logan with a straight face she will be his bodyguard. The movie backs up her bold claim not only with a string of jaw-dropping fight scenes that have Yukio taking down foes that are bigger, brawnier and male, but also by having Logan react with surprise but not scorn to her declaration. (After all, Logan knows better than to judge someone by their appearance.) Later, after she’s saved his life, he fights for hers, screaming at a murderous enemy, “Don’t hit my friend!”
