Give up? As in not make a Superman movie?

I'LL KILL YOU

Yeah, can't wait for this next Superman movie. Probably more hyped for it than BatNolan 3.

Superman will fail.

I don't get some superhero movies. Why do they constantly protray them in a universe where there are no other heros or villians in existance? It makes no sense.

Oh and FYI....Superman returns had Supes stopping a crime in Gothlam.

Licensing rights.

What universe does the city of 'Gothlam' exist?

batman

Oh, I thought it was 'Gotham'.

My spelling sucks...hard.

Interview with Chris Nolan. It's mostly about the Superman flick, but the most interesting tidbits are about the next Batman movie. Basically sounds like Nolan saying that this one will be the last one in his universe.

I meant as in not make a crappy Superman movie. I'm all for a good one, if they can do it.

Nobody sets out to make a bad movie. Except for maybe Brett Ratner. And whoever wrote Meet the Spartans.

Coulda fooled me.

Two more cast members have been announced for the Green Lantern film. Taiki Waititi and Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett in the Star Wars films), both from New Zealand, have been cast as a friend of Hal Jordan’s, and Abin Sur, respectively, according to Hollywood Reporter. They join Tim Robbins, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and others (see “Tim Robbins in Green Lantern”).

Taiki as Pieface?

Batman Beyond will receive a proper 6-issue comic. It's doubtful that it will become canon in the DCU, being that Terry already made cameo appearances as an alternate future Batman rather the Earth 1 future Bats - but it's good to hear about new material for a great series. Of course it'll be more mature than the (already mature) TV series, and success may give it life as an ongoing series. So buy it when it drops!

To combat Marvel's aggressive film slate, and fill the void left from the ending Harry Potter series, WB will put DC movie on the forefront of their tentpole (Summer flicks) machine. Some overzealous bloke at WB expects Batman 3 and The Flash by 2012 - in 3D. Man of Steel may or may not be out afterward. No word on Wonder Woman. Also no update on an Avengers equivalent, though I assume they will not be ready continuity wise by the time Avengers drops.

I'd greenlight a JSA project instead of JLA. A less popular team where you have more room to reinterpret for film. It could ride the wave of the well received Smallville episode and give WB a live-action super team in half the time. And it wouldn't be as jarring as a JLA movie with no continuity build up (which the dumbasses almost did).

But that's just my idea, and what the fuck do I know, eh?

o yea

Bah!

Pretty lame Batman story to turn into an animated movie. Though I can see it ending up better than the comic book story because they'll probably be forced to give a different reason for his resurrection other than "He was never suppose to die! So when an alternate reality Superboy punched a dimensional wall and changed reality, he came back to life!"

Angela fucking Bassett is Amanda Waller in Green Lantern! The character is oddly named Dr. Amanda Waller, but we all know her place in the DC Universe is similar to Nick Fury. Could DC be emulating Marvel's use of Nick Fury as a cohesive element across multiple movies? If this is the case, it would seem DC is planning a certain super-team for real.

They should have just gotten CC Pounder or whatever the fuck her name is to play Waller.

That would be a dream. She has the visual demeanor and the voice recognized by many DC fans.

Green Lantern seems to be an odd movie for Amanda Waller to be in.

Micheal Rosenbaum has stated that he is not coming back to Smallville at all. :(

If they bring Lex back, I don't think another actor would work.

I call bullshit. They'll get his ass back for what may be the final season. Cameo or otherwise. Same for Kristen.

Been reading blackest night, and I have to say Larfleeze is fucking awesome.

"I want a whole FOREST of christmas trees! Whatever those are!"

Also, Blackest Night is cool and all, but it seems like one big cheap fan service trip at times. I do really like the occasional flashes of humanity from Sinestro. His character has fleshed out so much since gl: Rebirth, that he has become one of my favorite villains ever.

Yes, I love him.

MINE!

http://i47.tinypic.com/nwlxjc.jpg

Blackest Night was an ok event. All the primary colors kind of did a number on my eyes, though.

Sinestro Corps War I think was the better event.

Definitely. Gonna try and get all of that in HC.

Right, just read blackest night 8, and I'm fairly dissapointed at the lack of closure for sinestro. Seems like everyone got some except for him.

Also, what happened to that vision Hal had of Sinestro saying "I can't do this without you" Did I miss it, or is that a loose end that will be adressed in another arc?

Quite possibly that will be addressed in Brightest Day.

Somebody please cast Julia Voth as Wonder Woman.

Green Lantern's costume will be computer generated. Ryan's reportedly running around in a gray track-suit with red lights, where his costume will be super imposed during post. This is a peculiar decision...

The only reason I could see doing that would be if they wanted to make the suit have a "glowy" effect or somesuch.

I figured they could recreate the Rebirth effects with a conventional suit still. So long as it looks cool, though.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BIG TIME

...that is stupid. i know the uniform is generated by the ring and thus is "technically" made up of light and such but still. boo-urns.

It should just be a regular suit enhanced with CGI where needed

yup, for sure. don't know why they'd cgi the whole thing.

I wonder if that includes a CGI mask. That would just be the peak of uneccessary CGI, and look so awful

Maybe they are going for that Dr. Manhattan effect... which was hella expensive, mind you.

yeah but manhattan didn't have to move around with anywhere near the kind of speed or agility that jordan does. he just walked real slow and pointed his finger at tanks.

so it will be even more costly and look bad, is what i am saying.

damn

Yeah, or certain parts of it. The CGI should accent parts of it for that green glow effect.

Well I'd assume since he's wearing a tight suit anyway there will be a primarily black recolor with some white (gloves?) and a soft green cover to avoid the Dr. Manhattan effect.

Could also have something to do with the fact that green screen and green costumes don't go together.

That wouldn't be the reason for doing something like this. There have been green costumes and characters in CGI environments before.
They would just use a blue screen. It does the same thing, and is used just as often. In fact, blue screens were used before greens ever were

I'm just trying to make since in what has to be the most superfluous use of CGI I've ever heard of.

I was responding to The Destroyer.

I'm sure the suit would be more than a recolor since he'll be covered with mo-cap balls. At least that's what the report said.

I really am curious to see if they CGI his mask. That would be ridiculous.
The "his suit is otherworldly" excuse is kind of lame. Yes, it has otherworldly powers that would call for CGI glow and CGI effects when he changes into it.
Still, it's a suit. It's a skin tight suit with a logo, boots, gloves, etc.
It's always been drawn as such and it's never looked like it wasn't a suit that Green Lantern wasn't physcially wearing.
I think that's lame logic for wanting to CGI the thing.

http://wengyuen.files.wordpress.com/...eenlantern.jpg

It's ridiculous to act like there is anything about his suit that is fundamentally different from Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc., other than the fact that it has a bright green glow around his person.

lol

I will reserve judgment until I see the result.

On second thought, screw it.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If it's good I will admit it obviously. I hope it is. I just think it's a shit idea.

I've been over CG for a while now though. It's over-used in general.

Jonah Hex trailer with Elm Street prints. See it. Or wait 2 hours for YouTube to get it that night.

Completely forgot all about the Jonah Hex movie.

This looks good, can't wait.

Here Come the Kids:

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ungjustice.jpg

Peep the people behind this:

This series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Sam Register ("Teen Titans," "Ben 10," "Batman: The Brave and the Bold") is the executive producer. Brandon Vietti ("Batman: Under the Red Hood," "Superman Doomsday," "The Batman") and Greg Weisman ("Gargoyles," "The Spectacular Spider-Man," "W.I.T.C.H.") are the producers.

Holy shit, this is looking hot. Digging the art style and I love the roster. Bring it on, Titans.

Why is Aqualad black, though? Should have went with Static Shock for the requisite minority...

Why is martian manhunter a girl?

Why?

Pretty lame. If you're going to do a Young Justice show, use the characters who were actually on the team.

Sucks that it is Kid Flash and not Impulse too.

Is the masked green lady supposed to be Arrowette?

Also, it is Miss Martian, a relatively new character. Not Martian Manhunter.

Miss Martian is really a "White Martian" or something like that, but disguises herself as a green martian because white martians are normally all evil or something.

Also, I HATE jeans/T-shirt Superboy. Give him his costume back. Some personality too.

Also, I will not slow down "bro".

You can't be serious...

I like this Superboy way better than that 90's loser (who was a stab at Marvel's dress code back then - jacket/coat over jumpsuits).

I like Second Costume Superboy. Didn't hate him before that, but his look was definitely dated to the 90s in his original costume.

Superboy was at his best when he was in Young Justice though.

If Greg weisman is attached I'll probably check this out.

I don't follow DC religiously, and have never seen a martian girl.

Fucking sue me.

Either way, she's some lame progression from Martian Manhunter, and it should never have been done in the first place.

She was pretty much created just to give Martian Manhunter a teen counterpart in the Teen Titans. Don't know if they've even ever actually met in the comics.

They have. She's as ditzy as they come.

Think Teen Titans Starfire(from the cartoon) only 1000 times worse. She defeated her evil future self by thinking of puppies and other cute things.

Common sense would still dictate that in a team of teenage counterparts to the Justice League - that cannot be Martian Manhunter. Layman or not.

I would not put that concept out of the question when it comes to a non-canon cartoon show.

Well Aqualad is black.

This Young Justice show could have been tremendous if they chose to stick to the comic books.

Well Spectacular Spider-man didn't exactly stick to the comics and it was awesome.

Since I'm pretty sure I'd go gay for Greg Weisman at this point (having grown up on Gargoyles, and Spectacular Spider-Man now being my second-favorite superhero cartoon ever, behind only the original B:TAS), I'm definitely on board for this.

Greg Wiesman's attached as Story Editor.

I can see no good coming of this.

Erg. Robinson's Starman series is one of my favorite ever. I will follow this closely. Jack Knight is one of my favorite characters.

Same. Which is why I can see no good coming of this.

A looong time ago there was talk of a TV show based on the series, but it was going to be all weird and not have The Shade in it or anything. Luckily, that project halted.

As long as I get to see a blond chick with a star speckled ass weilding a gravity rod at some point I'm good.

You just want to envision her wielding YOUR gravity rod, you perv. :naughty:

Do I... like Megan Fox in this?

Batman 3 - July 20, 2012. Chris Nolan and his bro, Jonah are working on the script now. Batman 3 joins the Spidey reboot and the Avengers for that summer.

So his Superman movie is probably going to be after that?

Well it's not his per se, but I imagine Man of Steel would drop 2 or 3 years after.

Jonah Hex doesn't look as bad as I was expecting. Could be fun.

Oh. Thought he was directing it.

Wiki now tells me otherwise. That he is just "the godfather", whatever that means.

I'm gonna assume he'll be the producer or something like that.

Don't follow DC at all, but that looks good.

Yeah, Jonah Hex is one of those characters who I know exists, but I haven't read ANY of his comics.

Movie looks like a pretty decent fun action-western movie.

The current series he has at DC is also supposed to be Awesome, but like I said, I have never read it.

Jonah Hex looks like it could potentially go the way of Wild Wild West, but Josh Brolin alone is enough for me to give it a shot.

Heard Batman 3 might be in 3D.
