John Wick<\/a> — fresh new story. Batman; we keep recycling the same old story, and just re-articulate it. John Wick is more interesting and fun, because it is totally a ‘carte blanche’ story, so more opportunities for innovation in the story line. I actually *like* the sequels, as it builds upon a totally new storyline and universe, and *builds upon* this brand new John Wick universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, John Wick is more ‘realistic’ in some sense. Blood-thirsty revenge, and killing people is no concern. Whereas Batman is too moralized, John Wick seems like a more interesting or ‘relatable’ person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in the first John Wick film, perhaps at least 300 people are killed in the first 30 minutes. With Batman, none. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also as much as I loved the new BATMAN film, it seems that the new Batman is more anaemic, less ‘buff’, and not as physically strong or imposing as even the Christian Bale Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, John Wick is great because Chad S (Keanu’s former stuntman) is both stunt man *AND* director– one of the most unique combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Batman has too much \u00e2\u20ac\u0153daddy issues\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and inner conflict and drama. John Wick doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t \u00e2\u20ac\u201d he just wants bloodthirsty revenge, then survival, then revenge (again). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
