Just read the latest issue of Superman.....

Im excited to hear this, though im cautiously optimistic. I feel like because it a super hero film witha leading lady that most critics would say its great even if it was horrid.

I say this, but i really REALLY want it to be good. I just have reservations.

Will definitely rush out to see it despite being burned by recent DC Movies......

Very happy to hear it getting good reviews....

Still think the World War I setting is "weird", especially since all the "supporting cast" would be dead in any sequel set in the "present".......

But then at the same time I also love movies set during wartime.......

Also I'm afraid I can't trust media on WW reviews. After the dramatics over Luke Cage and Iron Fist they can't be trusted reviewing a female led super hero film. I'd wanna hear from you guys. Reviews are dead to me mostly.

Man, when is DC gonna wise up and put together their own equivalent of marvel unlimited. Money on the table.

Does anyone have a place to get the flash/Batman/watchmen comic arc? Really wanting to check these out.

were they heaping praise on them or something?

They overly praised Luke Cage because #Woke. And overly vilified Iron Fist because #CulturalAppropriation (LOL). I was already soured on professional reviews for years, but seeing how personal politics have screwed over the few sites I still read reviews on I can't even trust good or bad reviews or hearsay from the such sites or people on that spectrum. IGN gave the recent Tarzan movie a demerit for perpetuating 'White Savor Syndrom'. Holy shit, really? Ghost in the Shell was dragged thru the mud for casting the biggest female actress today in a role they felt should have been Asian.

So while I'm glad that WW could in fact turn around DCEU's quality slump, I have to be aware that today's culture critics will inflate their reviews based on shallow shit. Terms like pace and structure are being replaced by 'importance' and 'relevance'. Jesus.

Best part about the whole white washing asian roles deal is that literally no one in asia gives a shit. Japan praised Scarlet Johansan in GitS. It's all white people bitching about it.

Zack Snyder's daughter committed suicide [back in March] and he's off Justice League. Joss Whedon (who recently signed to do Batgirl) will finish the film, possibly reshoot it.

This is totally fucked and whatever misgivings I had about the guy this is tragic. I wouldn't be surprised if he was done directing anything for a while.

Ignoring Snyders personal woes (becuase they are intensely private and i have nothing to contribute) Joss taking over is the best thing that could have happend for DC and Warner but i feel awful for Joss after he went over to work on more "low pressure" films

Respect for him stepping up to the mound tho

Joss isn't actually going to be doing much. Just finishing up the last couple of shoots and sticking to the outline/tone that Snyder has set.

If the movie gets pushed back he absolutely reshot it. But in any case yeah, this is a good pick up for DC however sad.

Iron Fist the guy they got to play him is just...ugh. Skin color wasn't my concern. I was far more interested in everyone else around him and the show overall was just a chore to get through.

I enjoyed Iron Fist..... Luke Cage was a chore to get through.....

Luke Cage started off rough for me (it was pretty much background noise while I worked) Luke Cage himself isn't what actually made me start paying attention it was the Mayor.

Both shows had issues for different reasons but were still pretty good. For me Luke Cage has a few pacing issues that made it tough to get through while the actor playing Danny Rand just didn't fit the role to me. He looked just average.

Anyways, how about them DC Comics?

Dark Nights: Metal seems like it will be fun..... I have no idea what it is all about, but it is promised to be fun.....

Rebirth:The Button. That is all I have to say.

I enjoyed Rebirth: The Button and I look forward to Dark Knight: Metal

Superman Returns Sequel:

Bryan Singer appearently has better things to do: instead of moving on to the next Superman feature, he's working on a 'thriller' with Tom Cruise starring. Odd, he seemed so down with Supe's that I thought he'd start out on the next one atleast at a pace faster than the gap between X1 and X2. It must be noted that Singer has a history of finding better things to do. There were rumors that the next Superman would be shelved and JLA (see below) would kick a kick-start early with Brandon Routh starring. Those rumors were quickly dissolved with the powers to be saying the next Superman (rumored to called "Man of Steel") is going just fine, with Metallo and Brainiac as possible villains. The gun-turrent dude from 'Returns (Eye-of-Steel scene) may even have been John Corben...

Kate Bosworth may not return.

Batman Begins Sequel:

Most of us are pretty much up to speed here: The movie will be called "The Dark Knight" with the most talked about news being Jokers inclusion as the central villain. Joker ofcourse is being bought to us by Heath Ledger with a darker edge about the character than the stuff we've already seen. The movie should begin production right about now, with a release next Summer. The batsuit will be updated for anyone who cares, with an emphasis on 'cloth'. There's also talk of a Bat-Cycle, too. Cool. The theme of 'Begins was fear, and the theme for Dark Knight may be "things getting worse before they get better." They say the title also also has multiple meanings. Could Gotham City suffer some kind of mass blackout while the Joker goes on a killing spree? Note that many of Joker's earlier comic exploits usually had him pulling some city-wide crisis that Batman had to work double-time to fix. Also in the movie is Harvey Dent played by Aaron Eckhart. His inclusion reveals the villain for Batman's third feature.

Katie Holmes will not return. She's been replaced by Captain Marvel's sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Captain Marvel:

SHAZAAM!!! And with a blast of thunder, Jake Gyllenhaal (Day After Tommorrow) is most surely, very likely, gonna maybe portray Captain Marvel (one of the few characters who could beat Superman's ass without Krrrryptonite). I'm kinda definately sure of the possibility of his consideration.

Flash:

Ryan Renalds is up for the part as Wally West. For the most part I agree with this casting. They're talking about getting into the science of super-sonic speed rather than 'him running really fast'.

Wonder Woman:

Joss Whedon dropped out of the project, which disappoints me to no end. There's also talk of setting it in WW2's era. This may have been in the old comics but really... c'mon...

JLA:

Okay... WB really wants to get this thing going, abondoning their old plan of having 'the big three' set their movie franchises first then teaming them up (would've took too long anyway). I'm sure Marvel pressing for their Avengers feature has a little to do with that. Brandon Routh is definately heading up this one, but Christian Bale didn't seem likely to appear as the Bat because A) the current Batman creative team doesn't wish to merge their darker realistic Batman with a likely bright-n-epic team-up feature and B) JLA is moving on faster than the new Batman franchise can catch up with. Still, Christian Bale has said that he signed to three contracts with the last one being "some sort've team-up." It appears Batman will be on the team afterall (thank GOD). I wonder if Wonder Woman will make the team, her franchise being on the fritz. I also wonder what other heroes will make the team...

So what do you guys think? Exciting couple of years ahead?

10 years..... DAMN

Really wish that Superman Returns was a better movie, and had sequels.

Little while ago I concluded that Superman Returns, though overly reliant on needless continuity with the Reeves movies, should have been the launch pad for a DC movie-verse. The tone was perfect.

Batman/Elmer Fudd out today...getting crazy good reviews...apparently very dark but not "too dark"....Elmer Fudd has come to Gotham to kill Bruce Wayne.

I've been hearing good things about a bunch of the recent dc/Looney Tunes crossovers..... haven't read any, though.......

Gotta find me a woman built like comic book wonder woman

Lobo and roadrunner has a chance to be a masterpiece.

I can't wait til Disney puts Donald Duck in something from Marvel

So skinny?

I wouldn't say Diana is 'skinny'. Her model depends on the artists but overall I think her most consistent body type is the 'buff yet feminine' look some artists nail well. Fit arms, broad shoulders, muscular legs, yet defined hips and of course her bust. Hardly skinny.
