->''"Mr. Hyde is not all that compelling in this movie. He is built up all during the first half (kind of like Harry Lime in ''Film/TheThirdMan'') where we only get [[TheDreaded glimpses and whisper]]s of how evil he is. When we finally meet him we find he is not so much evil as just an asshole. He beats up a few people but the majority of his evil acts are insulting people and drawing penises in medical textbooks (I’m not kidding). Heck I can get that from any episode of ''{{Series/House}}.''"''

->''"The Borrower's superpower was leaving [[CallingCard signed documentation]] at the scene of all his robberies. That's like being a regular criminal only easier to convict -- like, suspiciously easier. His escape vehicle is a chatty stroll and he's dressed like an embedded reporter in a war between leprechauns. If a rookie superhero saw The Borrower, he'd probably say, 'Oh, fuck. This is all [[CandidCameraPrank some kind of Make a Wish Foundation stunt.]] I'm ... I'm dying, aren't I?' The Borrower's crime spree was doomed from the start, but it's a special kind of shitty luck when you snatch WonderWoman's purse. She spends most of her superhero days being chloroformed and hogtied by Egg Fu or Baron Blitzkrieg, so a normal guy with a pile of napkins and a pen is like Christmas. It was such a relaxing day of crimefighting that she went shopping before she bothered to put on her costume."''

->''"I won't waste any more time pretending that there is any consistency on the Delta Quadrant. Every time we meet the Hirogen they are belittled further. Last time they were playing [[VirtualTrainingSimulation fake war games]] on ''Voyager''[='=]s holodecks, and this time they are doing the same but even more embarrassingly the holograms have [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters gained independence]] and are now hunting them! It's hard to know which ''Voyager'' alien race is the most impotent – the Hirogen, Species 8471 or The Borg but it is a hotly contested race."''

->''"Don’t introduce a new ‘BigBad’ and treat them so disrespectfully...The Hirogen leader here reminds me of the hyper intelligent Gremlin from ''{{Film/Gremlins}} 2'' who takes the brain potion and dazzles with a rendition of New York, New York! It feels as if the writers haven’t sat down and decide exactly what this species is going to be like and just made it all up as they’ve gone along. Compare and contrast to the Borg for ''[[Series/StarTheTheNextGeneration TNG]]'' and the Jem H’adar for ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]'' that remained pretty consistently and instantly memorable from the outset. Watching the Hirogen breaking open one of Neelix’s French sticks as though he has watched too many episodes of ''AlloAllo'' is farcical. The Hirogen – don’t mess with them or they’ll [[PokeThePoodle snap your bread sticks in half]]!"''

->'''David: Poison Ivy shows up to yell at Bruce Wayne about how he doesn’t support her insane plan to kill off a bunch of people in the name of stopping using resources. “Batman and Robin! Militant arm of the warm-blooded oppressors.”\\
'''Chris''': I genuinely love how she says that no one’s going to be able to protect them from the plants, and everybody just busts out laughing at her, and Gossip Gertie is all in Gotham, we’ve got Batman, so f*** you. Gossip Gertie don’t shiv.

->''"Like, they go to all these lengths to establish this [[DarkerAndEdgier more menacing]] Luthor, but that [='=]''WRONG!''[='=] is the most intense he gets. And his plan is beyond stupid. Why would anybody want to buy property on the crystal continent [[MissingStepsPlan when it’s sinking the United States?!]] ...If movie Lex Luthor were a Batman villain, he’d be Land-Man, and kill his victims with electrified real estate signs."''

->''"Don’t make a movie expressly engineered for [[ContinuityPorn continuity nerds]] and then [[DeathByIrony screw up the continuity]]. Also, don’t make a movie expressly engineered to appeal to the nostalgia of continuity nerds for a 100-million dollar budget. Just don’t make ''Superman Returns'', really."''
