That's a good idea, and they don't have set continuities anymore (haven't you heard?). I would love to see the Killing Joke in motion.

I haven't heard actually. I have kind of stopped following the DCAU after the Cadmus arc of the JLU.

The ending would be great with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil. It's got to happen.

The DCAU ended with JLU in 2005/6. Everything since was set in it's own universe, which is cool and not cool depending on how you look at it. Every movie they made since embarrasses the live action stuff consistently.

I see. I'm going to have to watch them.

They should make an animated adaptation of Superman: Birthright. That would make a good Superman movie.

Oh HELL YEAH. And Kingdom Come, too.

God forbid someone say a bad thing about a comic book movie :roll:

MAN UP

Yeah, God forbid indeed. :mad:

I've found Superman/Batman to be a pretty hit or miss book. Public Enemies was one of the stronger arcs, however, so I'll be looking forward to this.

On a related note, I respect any writer that can make me interested in superman. By those standards, Grant Morrison is a genius, because I LOVE All-Star Superman. If you havn't checke it out, do so.

Actually Grant Morrison is a genius regardless, but that's besides the point.

The Public Enemies arc is the arc of the series, aside from the first (even though the World's Finest comics have been around). I think it should be used for reference when doing a Batman/Superman movie (along with the Byrne's Man of Steel #4).

I find Superman comics to be quite boring.
But then again..I have never been a Superman fan myself. It takes a lot to impress me with Superman. The last Superman comic I read that I enjoyed(which does not say much since I haven't read much since) was Superman #666. I really liked the concept of Superman just cracking down to the pressure he gets from the world and what people expect him to be. Good deal.
If DC is going to do more animated crap, I want to see the Anti-Monitor kick some ass.

I also find the superman comics boring, but I think thats because Ive grown up spoiled with all the animated and live action programs and movies that have to do with him. I just think hes a character that is better suited off the paper.

I agree.
Also, if we think about it..the Superman writers must have some serious trouble writing. I mean, it must be quite a task to come up with issues and enemies for someone like Superman. It must be hard to write for a character like Luthor who is technically smarter than any of us.
I just also think it's time that DC starts giving other heroes attention. I am tired of seeing Superman and Batman left and right. The DC universe does great with animated films but I need more dammit! and none of that Smallville crap also.
I am sorry but the Flash with a jogging suit is just not the flash.

Flash is the character, not a costume. Other than that, yeah, Superman's hard to write for. I find him best used in conjunction with other characters. Justice League and cross-over events are where he excels.

Does anybody really want to read these stories in two separate threads?

I do

These threads gotta merge sometime.

Green Lantern, Booster Gold, Outsiders, not-technically-heroes-but Secret Six. All great stuff.

WE SAID NO

I think he meant in movie-form.

All those that you mentioned, save for Outsiders, are quality comic books though.

GL's certainly on his way to the big screen.

I can't wait for the Green Lantern animated movie. But I will.

Hope Routh Didn't Change His Address:

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Get to work, WB! Three cheers for justice! Kinda fucked up this is what gets them on the ball but see if I give a shit.

I've always wondered what would happen if DC/WB fell too far behind and let the Siegel/Shuster heirs take back the rights. Would Superman suddenly just be written out of the DCU? Would Marvel capitalize and try to work out a deal?

Anywho, the Superman/Batman stills look beyond awesome. Glad to see Conroy and Daly got the voices again. If Clancy Brown isn't Lex Luthor, I'm going to be very upset.

Superman in Marvel would be hilarious.

According to IMBD he's in.

This movie will be perfect.

Just give him to ed brubaker, and it will be amazing.

How would they explain it? Dimensional wormhole? A new mutant? Keep the alien origin? New origin?

Marvel will make him a skrull or something :p

Most likely devote an entire 'event' to his coming.

RYAN REYNOLDS IS THE GREEN LANTURN HAL JORDAN!

http://weblogs.variety.com/bfdealmem...n-lantern.html

Bad casting, he had Flash written all over him.

I think Ryan Reynolds is a great actor but I don't see him as the Green Lantern. I hope that is an error.

He's good for the young Jordon, but I'm hoping that if they do a sequal to it, they cast Nathen Fillion in the role. Why?

Wtf are they thinking?

Do they think guy gardner is the main protagoist of green lantern or something?

As much as I dislike the character, he deserves it, and the writers at marvel could make it good.

Supes has shown up in the Marvel Universe before during the occasional cross-over event, at least one of which (JLA/Avengers) is still considered canon I think. So at least a few of the folks in Marvel might recognize him.

That'd actually be a pretty interesting storyline: Superman trying to come to grips with being stuck in not only a different world, but an entirely different multiverse, unable to get back home. I can't really imagine any non-cosmic Marvel villains who'd give him much of a fight, though.

They'd come up with a way to depower him a little. I know Stan has said one of the biggest things he doesn't like with Superman is how blatantly overpowered he is for a mainstay character.

I agree with Stan.
Plus, I am not mistaken, in Avengers/JLA I remember that powers did not work the same way in the universes. Like when Darkseid got his hands on the infinity gauntlet it did not work.

Oh I agree completely. There is no reason a main character should blatanly overpower everyone he faces. Thats why I hate Superman, there is no need to read his archs unless it's a big event because you know he's not going to have any problems.

Ryan Reynolds cast as Green Lantern.

That's awful

Marvel would make Superman a super-alcoholic.

Also, Ryan Reynolds as GL... I could see him as Kyle Rayner. Not my first choice for Hal Jordan though. At least the ball is rolling.

Honestly, Reynolds could work as Jordan, but only if they really play up his personality from before becoming a Lantern. In Emerald Dawn and in the new Secret Origins, Hal was kind of a fuck-up, getting into bar brawls, pissing off everyone who hired him, etc. Reynolds really could play that part pretty well.

Thing is, he doesn't blatantly overpower everyone he faces. Most of Superman's villains (especially the ones whom Geoff Johns rebooted) are more than capable of taking him out. Between General Zod, Bizarro, and Brainiac all beating Superman to a bloody pulp at one point or another just in the last year or so--not to mention him and his entire species currently being banned from Earth--I'd say he's got plenty of problems going on. The argument of him being too powerful only really holds up if you're stacking him up against other heroes in the 'who would win a fight' sense.

Why would Marvel need Superman to play with? They've already got a Superman.

Sentry.

Because Superman makes A LOT of money and Sentry doesn't?

That would be a pretty entertaining fight, though.

After watching Batman: The Brave and the Bold. I'm willing to except him as a Lantern, as he's more wise cracking (well everyone is in that show)

Still though, he would of been a better Flash

Marvel have got various Superman "copies" - Gladiator, Sentry, Hyperion and probably others that escape me.

Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan? No. Ryan Reynolds as Guy Gardner? Money!

Sentry is better than Superman though, because he's just as destructive as he is helpful because of his Void side and general instability. His own wife told Iron Man to hurry up and find a way to kill him.

During the Book of Eli panel at Comic-Con, Gary Oldman dropped a major piece of news. He said the next Batman movie starts filming next year, and is expected to be out in 2011.

Yeah, sentry is a far more interesting character, but superman is still more marketable, and would make marvel a shit ton of money if they got the character.

Smallville ComiCon Highlights:

• Metallo has the Kryptonite heart and looks sinister.
• Clark and Lois get it on.
• The Justice Society makes an appearance this year.
• Clark dons a suit, but not the suit.
• Supergirl doesn't come back.
• Other Justice League members will.
• General Zod is not yet general, he is merely Major Zod, and he has troops.

Can't wait to find out more about Batman 3, providing Gary Oldman wasn't yanking everyones chain.

Shame about Supergirl not coming back.

Justice Society? Has the potential to be awesome.

Geoff's writing that episode just as he did "Legion".

Never really read any Jonah Hex.

Me neither, but I enjoyed his cameos across various media.

Downloading the Green Lantern animated movie right now. Hopefully it is good.

s'alright.

I am also dling that gl movie

lol You guys just don't care.

We all care about megan fox in an old west barmaid's outfit.

Megan Fox is so whatever. Pretty, yeah, not drop-dead hot. She's no Jessica Lucas.

:nono:

I won't argue this yet again.

Green Lantern movie was OK. Started off kinda "meh", but had an epic battle at the end.

Was I right, or was I right?

:|

The fact that they wanted a goddamn Wayans to play Robin is bad enough. The fact that they're still paying him for work he never did makes blood shoot out of my eyes.

Gotta be one of the strangest deals in Hollywood.

I'm assuming that's Metallo?

Or a photoshopped Tony Stark. In later episodes he will sport a sleeker design. This is Metallo beta.

Oh God yes.

Cool Cloe and Dr. Cox is in it.

Yeah, marked out for that. Oh, and READING RAINBOW.

Kunta Kente

Lt. Commander Gordi LaForge

Nobody's going to post anything about Guy Ritchie directing Lobo?

I heard Guy Ritchie was directing Lobo.

Kalyx is slipping

Didn't even know they were making a Lobo movie.

Wait... WTF?!

Stay classy, Hollywood.

Perhaps they will just rip off Drax the Destroyer.

This movie is gonna suck so badly.

DC Entertainment:

As some of you may have heard, DC has created a new branch that will handle adaptations abroad. From what I've read, it seems to have a similar model of Marvel Studio's restructuring 2yrs ago. This may mean better movies and products, who knows.

Does this season take place inside The Matrix?

Lord forbid someone wears black with a trench coat.

Is that supposed to be superboy prime or something?

It's Clark.

That's just....just...just....yeah.

Great disguise.
