That Wonder Woman is just awful. I really hate whoever the hell they put in charge of casting for this thing. Also, I know they're going for the Dark Knight Returns vibe but Batfleck is looking way too cartoonishly buff for a live action movie there.

I don't have a problem with the Wonder Woman but yea Affleck is crazy huge they really should've reversed that dynamic

DC Animation's going to do an adaptation of something called "The Killing Joke". Pfft, sounds stupid, nobody's gonna watch something that sounds so dumb. There's talk of some guys named Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil being involved, like that's anything special. Just a waste of money. We should start a petition so they cancel it and make another Aqua Man movie. Nobody's gonna watch a "Killing Joke" animated movie, ugh.

Meanwhile they announced a "Superman: Lois and Clark" series spinning out of whatever that recent event was.... forget its name for some reason....

Got "excited" for a minute because I thought it would be a series about the pre-Flashpoint version of Superman, but it just seems to be another "alternate reality" story...

How long has it been since we have the married Superman?

Green Lantern Corps movie is totally happening.

Alright maybe DC/WB can mount a comeback. Looks rightfully epic.

Glad it has a "good" animated style

Actually kinda looking forward to this.

Just posted this over in the Batman/Superman thread. I get why people think it looks cool I guess, but honestly this has just made me less interested in anything DC related outside the tv shows.

Speaking of the TV shows... lots of news...

Ollie's new look as "The Green Arrow"

Arrow
- Beyond the casting of Damien Darhk, there is another big villain coming.
- DC Comics characters Anarky and Mr. Terrific will debut. Mr. Terrific will be gay.
- Diggle will finally be getting a costume/helmet. The actor said he will be called "Black Driver", but I would imagine that would have to be a joke.

The Flash
- Zoom will be the "Big Bad" of the season.
- Teddy Sears cast as Jay Garrick.
- Shantel VanSanten cast as Patty Spivot.
- Wally West also confirmed to appear.

Legends of Tomorrow
- Hawkman is also in it

Supergirl
- Peter Facinelli cast as Maxwell Lord
- Two villains confirmed to appear: Reactron and Livewire

Justice League: Gods and Monsters is great. It's floating around. Michael C.Hall as "Batman" / Kirk Langstrom is brilliant and if they ever use Man-Bat in the movies, he should play Kirk Langstorm.

It's really good.

Because there would be a riot otherwise, Mark Hammil will indeed be the Joker for The Killing Joke animated movie.

And since he rarely works without his other half, we can assume Kevin Conroy will finally work on the project that was destined since he first stepped in the booth over 20yrs ago.

Never assume

I assume.

He'll totally do it.

I saw somewhere he wanted to do it. They should just make it an extension of the original animated series. Get the whole gang back together.

DCAU is dead.

IT'S DEAD.

it's dead

Nothing wrong with wanting some of the voices back.

It's dead... :(

REALLY REALLY enjoyed it so weird to see blood swearing and lots of death from TAS guy.

Unless it's more violent than the other movies I'd say Timm let it all hang out for a while now.

DC Cinematic Universe Details:

• Batman is the one who personally captured every single member of the Suicide Squad and in the trailer, we’re seeing a flashback to how he captured Harley Quinn. (No mention if he gets the Joker, too.)
• Justice League was the jumping off point for this whole DC universe idea. “What we are doing is ground up all the way. It is one giant story,” Snyder said. “The first thing we had was the Justice League concept. The other movies, in a way, have to support that. That is our Wonder Woman, our Aquaman. They have their own creative concepts that supports them, but they do serve Justice League in the coming together of those heroes. I want all the other directors of the other films to be able to stretch their legs and do what they want, but at the same time there is a big interconnected universe. I have given everyone amazing access to our story, to me, and what we are doing. All the films have like-minded conceptual jumping on points.”
• Batman will have a lot of history to him. “We are playing him 45 or 46” years old, Snyder said. “He has been Batman for 20 years. All the history is there. Was there a Robin at one time? Possibly. We want to assume that Batman has reached this point in his life and career as a superhero, and Superman represents a sort of philosophical change. He is a paradigm shift for Batman: ‘I’ve been fighting criminals all my life, trying to find justice, and now I am confronted with a concept that is transcendent to me.’ In the face of Superman, a man robbing a bank doesn’t matter. He’s having a crisis of conscience. ‘Am I really just a vigilante who stalks the alleys of Gotham?’ It is rich stuff that he deals with. Ben does an amazing job.”
• The Batman v Superman trailer already reveals that Robin has died, but this interview strongly suggests Commissioner James Gordon will also already be dead. This would confirm a rumor that surfaced several months back.
• To some, Batman may be considered the villain of Batman v Superman: “It’s a point of view thing,” said Snyder. “That is why ‘Dawn of Justice’ is the full title. What it does is allow us to start this conversation.”
• Bruce Wayne will not be living in Wayne Manor in Batman v Superman. He’s in a lakeside house called “The Glasshouse.”
• Snyder was very intimidated at the thought of doing a Batman solo film. “If it was a Batman movie it would be a much more difficult proposition because of how good Chris’ movies are,” said Snyder. “We live in gratitude to those movies. Chris set a tone for the DC Universe, and separated us from Marvel in a great way. We are the legacy of those movies.”
• Clark Kent and Lois Lane are now “shacking up” together in Metropolis.
• Aquaman has an “elusive cameo” in Batman v Superman. “You will understand he exists,” Snyder said.

There's going to be a DCAU cast reunion at NYCC. A rather curious occasion.

At what point did it show that? Completely missed it.

I can't even think of a site that didn't screen cap Robin's costume.

Greg Berlanti (of Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl fame) apparently working on developing a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie....

A decade or so ago, Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk would have been perfect for that. They're too old now, but they would have been amazing.

You can see the R just above the heart.

Thankfully it looks like it will be Ted Kord instead of Jaime Reyes.

I read that it was gonna be Jaime Reyes instead of Ted Kord....

More than likely they're going with the spanish kid. He went mainstream with two regular cartoon show appearances on top of the PR climate of having an ethnic hero. If Kord was as transcendent as other A or B-list heroes he'd be a lock but C-listers are the safest to present alternately.

Supergirl hanging with Daisy.

Yeah I'm not exactly sure why but I'm thinking they share studio space hence why they're doing this.

Costume on Supergirl looks nice though.

Didn't know there's a new photo of the Joker from Empire magazine.

http://cdn.unilad.co.uk/wp-content/u...e-WEB88724.jpg

god he looks so terrible

Some creator said they were styling him after 90s Cuban gangsters or some stupid shit like that.

ah yes of course, the joker's well known historical association with cuban gangs

god he gives off such x-pac heat

Not to go Kalyax here, but let's chill with the anti-Jared Leto Joker hate.

Maybe it fits in with the movies...Maybe

Fits or not, it looks stupid. I can't imagine a scenario where I'd like this look.

I'm just gonna wait till it comes out. I'm not big on Ledger's look but I enjoyed the character more than enough to care what he looked like.

I get the hate on the look though.

I like it, looks crazy must be crazy.

i did not express any hate towards jared leto or what he will do with the role, i know better than to write off an actor's actual interpretation of a character before i've seen it

my hatred, at this advent, lies entirely with the visual presentation, which i am perfectly entitled to not like at face value because it is face value

Exactly. ^

He might turn out to be a great Joker, who knows. But the look is just terrible imo. All of it, the tattoos, the stupid Jaws from James Bond teeth, the pimp overcoat.

Didn't a lot of people not like Ledgers peeling messy facepaint?

I recall a lot of complaining(I loved how disheveled he looked) but other people complained that he looked half-assed or "not like the joker"

my only ONLY complaint is that the lack pf extended lipstick it enhances the face so much.

I know you meant the look I just didn't know how else to word it.

Also I'm not saying you aren't entitled to not like the look. I'm just saying it might not be that bad. It could work.

Wonder Woman can't wait for Star Wars!!

I want so many beheadings.

<iframe width="800" height="437" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c7LlmaFg0lw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

He looks like a Chav...

Can UK posters confirm this?

stoked for legends (kalyx did you also mark out for 'i have seen men of steel die and dark knights fall'?) but still can't shake the feeling that the addition of cold and heatwave is kind of gratuitous and suuuuuper left-field

firestorm looks great in full costume though

the time travel aspect will straddle a thin fucking line between awesome and gimmicky. apropos of nothing really, the last couple x-men films have pulled it off fine, but idk there could be some kitschness lurking in some plot threads here

Oh I fucking flipped. That kind of direct reference (exactly what you're talking about in the Jones thread), for THOSE two, was unheard of. I think Arrow and Flash have gained enough confidence from top brass to get away with bigger things. It just so happens we have a Kryptonian headlining her own show and Gotham showcased in another, so it's probably gonna end at words.

I'm thinking Heat Wave is gonna do something crazy very early on that gets him kicked out or killed. It is absurd, based on what we seen of him, that he is let on the team. Then again, these are decisions made by a time-traveler from the future. Maybe Heat Wave does something great, I dunno.

I imagine the time travel aspect will be 'Sliders' like and really just be a 'setting of the week' kind of thing. And also a great reason to check out some other historical heroes like Jonah Hex or THE LAST BOY ON EARTH. If... they wanna go that direction.

It looks like it might be mainly focused on Captain Cold, which would be terrible.

Wentworth Miller is just ridiculous in this role.

Gotta say I don't mind his turn.

Then again I'm not a Captain Cold purist or anything. I wouldn't know what a bad version of him would be. Cold Gun and coat is good enough for me.

Neither am I. I'm not talking about his look, I'm talking about his behavior. The way he talks, the faces he makes. Dunno, just seems like he's trying to pull off a "sinister mastermind" way, way too hard.

Give him a mustache to twirl already.

"Powerless" officially ordered to series by NBC

http://www.comicbookresources.com/im...nner-5250e.jpg

Only hero confirmed to be in it so far is the obscure "Crimson Fox"....

supergirl picked up for season 2, but moving to the cw. nice. good move. also captain cold is no longer gonna be a series regular on legends but a 'dc' series regular so he'll be back on the flash (been a season without the rogues really) next season at least, maybe arrow, idk. will still 'appear' on legends.

Finally got round to buying a heap of books recently, got through Hush, Injustice: Gods Among Us Year One, The Killing Joke and A Death in the Family. Also got some Daredevil and Punisher vs The Marvel Universe too.

DC Comics new logo

http://i.newsarama.com/images/i/000/...jpg?1463500177

Kinda annoyed with this rebirth shit. Made it a dedicated effort to accumulate every monthly from the main Batman line from right after the opening arc through now. If this shit starts back over at 1 I'm gonna be fairly chapped.

I like the new logo. Green Lantern: Rebirth was really good when they did that so I'm curious to see how this DC: Rebirth goes. I am optimistic.

Speaking of Green Lantern, big shake-up at DC's movie division as Geoff Johns is the new head. Here's hoping he fires Snyder after Justice League is done filming.

It sounds like Snyder is technically fired anyway. He's only doing JL p1 now. Affleck will probably head up p2.

DC: Rebirth is really good.

I'm ready for DC comics to be about hope again and this is a great start. Lots of surprises if you haven't read about them yet + surprisingly emotional. For 2.99 if you've ever liked DC Comics it is so worth it. Really, really terrific.

Will try to pick it up today..... Actually been reading a bunch of "new 52" comic books recently....

Just purchased "DC Universe: Rebirth".... probably the first single comic book issue I have purchased since 2011.... About to crack it open... will post my thoughts afterwards.... been doing my best to avoid spoilers thus far....

same, was the first single-issue i have bought in years. i really liked it.

My thoughts



I wonder if I should stick with any series or check anything out....

I want to check out Batman #1

and the art for Wonder Woman #1 looks really cool

Flipping through my copy of Rebirth.... Actual feeling of comic book in hand feels good..... Should I go buy more.... Considering it.... What should I buy..... I'm usually a Superman guy, but that seems confusing as F..... Could follow Wally West maybe.....

Should prob consider that owning paper single issue comics these days seems so "inefficient" when it comes to cost and also storage......

But feels good....

Ok.... Bought Superman Rebirth and the first issues of Superman and Action Comics of this new era.... Prob made a huge mistake....

Forgot how small normal comics are, and that not everything is extra sized like the DC Universe Rebirth special....

I liked Batman #1

cool start

Just read Superman: Rebirth

Issue pretty much about saying "The New 52 Superman is dead and not coming back".... but this just seems to create an even weirder status quo.... one where Superman is pretty much a stranger (who looks the same) to all the usual supporting cast....

Superman #1 ok I guess.... though this "pre-Flashpoint" Superman still seems like just another "alternate reality Superman" where Superman and Lois have a son....

Also despite Rebirth's "promise" of a lighter tone....

Enjoyed Action Comics #957..... A lot going on.... Luthor.... Superman... Clark Kent.... all present....

Also Maggie Sawyer back in charge of the SCU.... glad she is back as a Metropolis character.... never liked how the Bat-Books poached her to be a supporting Gotham character....

Main villain of Justice League movie confirmed to be..... Steppenwolf. :|

There is a 2nd Justice League movie. So maybe Darkseid would be in that movie?

I would assume so..... but they could have used someone with more "name" value for the first one and just made allusions that the baddie was sent by/working for Darkseid.....

They're probably still going to do that. Ton of details were released today after in depth set visits.

Yeah, and they already announced the villain as Steppenwolf.....

How does that effect a second film featuring Darkseid?

My point was for the first movie to have a bigger name villain.....

Not that well known by anyone who isnt a fan or didnt watch the animated shows but I'd much prefer Granny Goodness as a lead in to Darksied

Yeah.... if they still wanted someone from Apokolips there are other more well known people..... I am a "big fan" of DC Comics, but honestly can't even picture Steppenwolf. Granny, Kalibak, Desaad, Kanto all conjure instant images.... Steppenwolf does not....

I guess that Steppenwolf had more of a "presence" in the "New 52" in the "Earth 2" series, though.....

Completely whiffed on that part. My bad.

Yeah I can agree with the bigger name villain. I'm thinking maybe they're more focused on having the league be the "big name". We'll see. Funny that they're already in damage control mode.

Apparently they have added a scene where Batman/Batgirl have sex to the Killing Joke animated movie......

Wonderful

It's causing a big controversy. Even though Bruce Timm already used them as s couple before.

When was that? Don't remember.....

I think in an episode in the animated series' final season, Barbara dies in her dad's arms as batgirl. Gordon eventually calls Wayne and states he knows everything, insinuating at a relationship.

Batman Beyond hinted at it as well. But that's all I remember
