Give up? As in not make a Superman movie?

I'LL KILL YOU

Lock Jaw 03-11-2010 01:13 PM

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

Jon Kano 03-11-2010 02:25 PM

Superman will fail.

Shadow 03-11-2010 04:20 PM

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.

What universe does the city of 'Gothlam' exist?

Reavant 03-11-2010 08:19 PM

Jon Kano 03-11-2010 08:26 PM

Oh, I thought it was 'Gotham'.

Shadow 03-11-2010 09:13 PM

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”).

Lock Jaw 03-15-2010 01:31 PM

Taiki as Pieface?

Kalyx triaD 03-19-2010 11:06 AM

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!

Kalyx triaD 03-22-2010 01:35 AM

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?

Bah!

Lock Jaw 03-24-2010 03:56 PM

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!"

Kalyx triaD 03-24-2010 10:32 PM

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.

McLegend 03-24-2010 10:43 PM

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

Kalyx triaD 03-24-2010 10:44 PM

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

Lock Jaw 03-24-2010 11:34 PM

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

D Mac 03-28-2010 04:25 PM

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.

Kalyx triaD 03-28-2010 09:09 PM

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

Fignuts 04-01-2010 03:11 PM

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

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

Fignuts 04-01-2010 11:47 PM

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!

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.

Fignuts 04-02-2010 12:25 AM

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

Fignuts 04-02-2010 01:59 AM

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?

parkmania 04-02-2010 04:04 PM

Quite possibly that will be addressed in Brightest Day.

Kalyx triaD 04-04-2010 07:51 AM

Somebody please cast Julia Voth as Wonder Woman.

Kalyx triaD 04-13-2010 08:05 PM

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...

parkmania 04-13-2010 08:31 PM

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

Kalyx triaD 04-13-2010 08:33 PM

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