Everyone there is in the movies, and is either superficial, or brain-damaged.

Orange County is a pleasant enough place. Long Beach (Snow Goose and Queen Mary) is worth a visit. And Venice Beach if you like to show off your body - or just ogle the girls.

I was born in Los Angeles, and lived there for 22 years, before joining the military. Los Angeles, is a sh*t-hole and I strongly urge you NOT to move there. If you have to move to California, then head North.

What in particular? Just guessing there are places to avoid if I don't want to be mugged.

Number one is Chicago, and I've met people from Chicago that loved the place. I'd wager it all depends on where you hang out and what you focus on. I'm from New Orleans and even there, you just simply stay away from certain areas. I'm thinking it's the same in LA. So I'd like to avoid the gang areas.

Also, if you go by per capita, I don't see LA on the list after a quick google search.

Question. How loud is your car stereo?
Is your subwoofer so huge that you have to haul it behind your lowrider in a trailer?
Does your amplifier violate NATO strategic arms limitations?
If so, you will fit in fine.

I had very recently finished watching the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited episodes with my son. So this is good timing

Pretty sure the first comic I read was a Superman - have enjoyed ever since.

I have two problems with this movie.
First, I don't think it knows what it is. Is it a dark and broody Batman movie? Is it an all-powerful, super duper Superman movie? Is it just being made to setup the Justice League movie (Wonder Woman is in it, Aquaman is in it, and The Flash is rumored)? The first trailer made me think of the first choice, and I thought it made the movie look awful. This trailer is a combination of the three, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Second, sans kryptonite, Superman would beat Batman without breaking a sweat, so the whole premise of a prolonged battle between the two (until they unite against the greater evil, Doomsday) is a bit of a stretch.

I think the strongest presence will be Batman. You can't put Batman in a movie and not have that!
As for the fight, I think the trailers make it seem like a bigger deal. And if you think of the kind of guy Batman is, chances are he's going to be walking around with a cylinder of kryptonite within reach. This will be a launch movie, which is kinda self evident from the title alone. Doomsday and Luthor both introduced in the first movie - that is kinda weird though.

Another re-hash of an old story that people keep paying money to see. Why? Very few movies have any originality now. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
No thanks. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

This is the first non-animated Justice League movie as far as I know.

You just aren't watching the right movies then. There have been plenty of great movies that have come out over the past couple years that are very good original ideas.
Look no further than last year's Oscar nominees for Best Picture. Half of them (American Sniper, Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, Selma) were based on true stories, but they were not true stories that had already been put into film (or in the case of Selma, not at that level of film making), and the execution of those stories was extraordinary. The other half (Birdman, Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Whiplash) were all fantastic original ideas, that were all very different from one another both stylistically and in terms of what emotions they inspired.
If you just sit and watch all of the big blockbusters that come out, of course they're going to be the same. The unwashed masses are stupid idiots that want to see explosions and pretty faces (I include myself as part of the unwashed masses most of the time). But if you want to see great filmmaking/writing/acting, you have to dig a little deeper than the movies that get advertised in commercials (or just wait for the Oscar nominees).

and tits, gotta have tits to be a blockbuster.
I'm disturbed to say that I have only seen 2 of the films you mentioned, I don't count Selma as I saw the original.

Wow. A must see.

Quote: Warning : possible spoiler in the last 15 seconds of that trailer. Not the kind of spoiler than makes you sad though - but the kind that gives you goose bumps.
