I haven't gotten around to seeing Year One, but I loved Under the Red Hood. And S/B Apocalypse, while not as good, has some of the best super-fights out there.
Though if you want a good action-heavy Superman animated flick, I'd also highly recommend Superman vs. The Elite. |

- Love Lil Barry's internet monkey nod.
- Lil Bruce with the nod to The Man Who Has Everything JLU eps. |
It's neat how each kid's gift is a thoughtful precursor to what their alter egos do in real life. Bruce is a rich boy, Barry a scientist, Hal is a pilot and Clark is a writer. Just so thoughtful
|
I adore that last panel.
|
These are rumors, but it comes from a source that can't be fucked with - so brace yourselves.
- Christian Bale is definitely in talks to return as Batman. - For the Justice League movie. - The Dark Knight and Man of Steel universes will be reconciled and merged to form the bases for a DC Cinematic Universe. You still with me? - Christopher Nolan will assume a godfather chair like Joss at Marvel and Miller at Fox, overseeing DC movies from here on out. This is something WB/DC was gunning for a long time if past rumors are taken into account. - Zack Snyder may produce Justice League, and possibly direct it - given the positive buzz from early Man of Steel screenings. |
That just made my day.
|
If they can lock this shit down in two years; we could have a summer of Justice League and Avengers 2 in 2015 - then I have Bane's permission to die.
|
Avengers 2 should be great, but I'm far more excited for Man of Steel and JL than I was for any of the Marvel movies. Especially if Bale, Cavill, and hopefully Stephen Amell, will be doing it.
|
I would for Stephen to portray a big screen version of Ollie, even if it's detached from the CW show. Then again, the tone of the show (already credited to Nolan's bat-movies) would make for an easy reconciliation imo. Not to mention it would save time casting Oliver if he were to make the roster.
On that, give Adrianne Palicki another go as Diana, since she fits the bill and the abysmal WW pilot was not her fault in any way. |

Those guys accurately called the makings of superhero media pretty much since it got big years ago. I posted stuff from them since the inception of the DC and Marvel threads. Incredibly legit source.
If you wanna break it down to who their sources are; well then I can't help you there. But I trust them if that means anything for you. And I don't post every piece of rumor I come across unless I certain the sites or personalities have a good track record. That goes for movies and games. |

Honestly one or maybe two of them (Aquaman or Manhunter) could be introduced in the movie itself without bogging it down but 5 may be a bit much, but I do have faith in Nolan getting it right no matter which way he goes. I really do love Arrow though. So much better than I thought it would be. |
Keep in mind Nolan may not have writing or directorial duties here, he may be something of a quality insurance. WB's bigger problem is finding the hook to these characters. They try to find some 'tone' and build all their movies like that, whereas Marvel Studios build their movies on genre templates; the WW2 movie, the medieval movie, the werewolf movie, etc.
WB doesn't know how to find the hook to make each hero work, so they say 'make it like (most successful work here)'. Then again, having a general tone may make things easier for them - but I think it kills the potential of each character's own movie imo. My armchair producer approach: Batman: Gritty, moody. Nolan had this right. Superman: Wonder, sci-fi. Something Speilbergian, though no offense to what Snyder is doing. Wonder Woman: Xena with a bigger budget essentially, at least the first half. Then merge that with the 'Man's World' second half. Green Arrow: Social, streetwise. Similar to the show, but add more of Oliver's class warfare undertones (which the show does allude to). Green Lantern: Essentially Star Wars. The cartoon knows this, the movie had no clue. |
Haven't watched Arrow in several weeks now.
|
Really don't want to see Bale don the suit again. TDKR ended so perfectly, imo, that bringing Bale back would just ruin it. Even if he's playing a "different" Bruce Wayne, it still cheapens the end of the last one. Give the role to some unknown 20 something whoo csn make it his own and create a new Batman for this new universe. No retreads.

@Rey
It's still a DC comic universe, and Bruce Wayne can never not be Batman. The city needed him before and he did right by them, but perhaps the world needs him now. He'd suit up for that. |
Yeah I don't buy any of these rumors. I don't see it happening.
|
Seems like everyone online is flipping out over rumours. Latino Review is legit, but talks don't mean anything until deals are done. I can buy Nolan overseeing the movie DCU. Bale coming back is a bit harder to swallow.
I dunno. My gut says Batman should be completely rebooted. Leave the Dark Knight trilogy as it's own thing. |
Imagine how dead this (and the Marvel thread) would be if we only reported things when the ink dried. I wouldn't know what to do with all the extra time.
|
I'm not referring to you, I'm referring to idiots on Facebook, Twitter, and the internet in general posting "OMG BALE IS GUNNA BE BATMAN AGAIN!1111!"
|
Leave Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan (even though I said since day one that he'd have made a better Guy Gardner), but make the GL in the JL movie be John Stewart. That'd solve the "We need a black person in the movie" dilemma. Have a throwaway line or two about the Corps, and problem solved. At that point you could even switch back and forth in future team-ups depending on which actor's available/desireable.
|
I pretty much refuse to believe Green Lantern's movie would exist in what we see in The Dark Knight and what Man of Steel's looking like. Reboot GL.
|
New ongoing Superman comic apparently called "Superman Unchained". Pretty "bad" name.
Should have just brought back the "Superman: Man of Steel" name. Especially since they are doing this to play off of the movie, which happens to be entitled Man of Steel. Written by Scott Snyder, though... so hopefully it will actually be good Superman. Though I still have a hard time seeing past his DCnU costume. |
"Unchained?" Has Superman ever been successfully 'chained' before to make that adjective fit? I mean, yeah, Clark usually holds back on using the full scope of his powers, but that's because he wants to-- or rather, because he doesn't want to accidentally destroy everything and everyone around him-- and not because someone or something is holding him back against his will.
My guess is they're trying to go with the whole notion that "Oh yeah, now you're gonna see Superman really kick some ass!" At which point I would say that was never the point of the character in the first place. I still like Scott Snyder and think he can do a good job on the book, but that title really puts a bad taste in my mouth, and doesn't exactly do much to make up for all the other questionable-at-best things they've done with Superman since the reboot. |

Awesome. Just in case I was actually interested in reading this comic, now they're explicitly saying he's not going to be anything like the character I want to read about.

This is the most disappointing thread on the forums for me. Check in here every time there is a new post, and my heart sinks when when I see its just some dumb dc news instead of a new jl8 strip.

HOLY SHIT!!!! Young Justice was amazing AGAIN today. There were a lot of loose ends tied up, and some questions revealed themselves. I hate CN for cancelling this show as it is amazing. Sadly, it feels like even the show creators knew this, as some of the lines seem to be bringing closure to everything. Next weeks episode seems sooooo apparent, with the.....well I don't feel like doing the spoiler tags so when you see it we'll talk.

Due to a death in the family, Yale's Little League will have a little hiatus.

Did you watch the video?

Only read a message. Is there more to it?

Well his grandmother passed, and then his grandfather passed shortly after. I believe that he will take a couple of weeks off but he has committed to coming back soon

Very sad. He should take all the time he needs.

I agree that, in a comic book universe, Bruce Wayne will always be Batman. I think that the only character to don the cowl in any film or tv adaptation should be Bruce and only Bruce. With that said, the entire DK trilogy was based around Bruce inspiring the city to the point where they no longer needed him to give his body, or his life, to push the city to save itself and not allow the corrupt to run it into the ground. This theme is present in each film. By TDKR's end, Bruce finally found closure. Batman was finally Gotham's true hero, and, as Alfred said before Bruce suited up again, Bruce gave back to Gotham using more than his body. To drag that particular take on Bruce Wayne back into a new universe that will be completely different and in no way related to TDK universe cheapens the ending is an excellent trilogy. Even if it's a different Batman, bringing Bale back is only going to confuse general audiences who think he faked his death and retired. It would make absolutely no sense in any way to use Bale. They should recast, and create a new Batman take that has zero relation to Nolan's interpretation. |

That did seem odd to me. Where's the Kevin Conroys, Tim Daly's, and George Newborns?

So apparently (according to Wiki) this week is the last episode of Young Justice. I was looking at how last season had 26 episodes, and this would only be episode 20 this season, so I assumed we had 6 more to enjoy, but I guess not. Really sucks.
|
At least I still have Arrow I guess...until DC has that cancelled for no reason as well.
|
it's been picked up for a second season, so we'll get that at least.
|
the CW will never cancel a television show that is moderately successful
unless they have in the past which would really make me look like an asshole |
If the new 90210 has been on for almost five years now, Arrow should easily get 15 seasons.
|
Just got done catching up one the recent two episodes of Young Justice and fuck me they were fantastic. I cannot believe the show is on its way out the door, but, at the same time, keeping it going just because it's good now doesn't mean they should. The way the show's timeline was structured makes it tough to keep it going. It's been an awesome run regardless of its length and I'm happy with it going out while it's at its white hot peak rather than run out of steam and fade away.
|
Young Justice was an awesome show with a very deep plot line. The creators wrote the show for a savy audience. This show would do retarded numbers during a more 'adult time slot'. Whatever, I've watched Endgame like four times now. I'm having a tough time saying goodbye. Glad to see some good guys take it on the chin. would like to have another season to tie up all of the other loose ends, but whatever. I've done my part, I've signed petitions and everything.

Am I the only person who likes Captain Marvel, er, SHAZAM! better than Superman?
|
Possibly.
Being honest though, I've read very little Captain Marvel/Shazam stuff. Only really run into him in Kingdom Come and 52. |

Just watched the last two episodes of Young Justice.
Man, next season will be so swee- Oh wait. :'( :'( Maybe they will continue it in digital comics. They canceled the monthly print comic, but they could totally go digital. |
Brian K. Vaughan has a new limited series called "The Private Eye". It is a sci-fi detective story set in a crazy future world.
It is only available online at http://panelsyndicate.com/ .... and you literally pay anything you want, or nothing at all, to download it. |
Nice.

Very sweet and touching moment here. This strip is amazing.

Been reading the archives of JL8. Clark has been "obsessing" over Diana...
But then BAM: Quote:
Hal just swaggers in and delivers the perfect gift that pretty much guarantees him some one on one time with Diana in which he could use to "get to know her better". |

Sadly, it's the way of the world. Everything Greg Weisman does will be awesome, then unceremoniously canceled to replace it with a vastly inferior product thanks to meddling and incompetence from the higher-ups.

I have a newfound hate for the decision to nix YJ now.

Hey, is there any word as to when we can grab Superman Unbound's torrent?

Truth serum

Bondage Lasso

Arrow is good stuff.
1 minor issue... I think they need to ditch opening VoiceOver, and either get a song or just have nothing for the opening. Really enjoy the show though. |
Yeah it's pretty cool.

Haven't watched it since the episode after it came back from mid-season break
I should catch up, but I'm not motivated enough to do so right now |

Slade Wilson should probably get his own show

Agreed. He is pretty awesome.
Just wonder if he'll end up becoming Deathstroke properly at some point further down the line. |
I like the fact that he kills people. That makes him different from most of other heroes in Media.
Slade Wilson is the man. |

On FB I noted that Barry should drop the Se7en reference! :D Thanks, Yale!

Welp damn...Bruce already knew but I guess she didn't want her friends to treat her any different.

called it, kinda...
