...It seems like they're building to Justice League instead of going with the team movie first and doing individual movies after that... They're unveiling their DC strategy in January so you'll hear more about that and they'll speak about that in the new year.

DC... with a... strategy?

thedamndest 12-27-2009 08:20 PM

Also known as the Avengers Plan.

Kalyx triaD 12-27-2009 08:33 PM

Whatever gets their ass in gear.

LuigiD 12-27-2009 08:34 PM

I remember when the rumor was going around about a JLA movie which did not include Christian Bale as Batman and poor intro to characters. Anything but that..please

Reavant 12-28-2009 11:07 AM

your never going to get a JLA movie with christian bale in it. His character wouldnt work in that movie anyway.

Kalyx triaD 12-28-2009 11:15 AM

Then he gets replaced. No actor/director is bigger than the mythology.

LuigiD 12-28-2009 11:49 AM

I can live without it. But it would be nice for a change to keep a Batman actor..not like that ridiculous shit they pulled off in the 90's. DC needs to get going with their movies anyways. they are way behind. I read some column and someone said something like "DC better get to it before gets bored of comic movies."

Reavant 12-28-2009 02:35 PM

its not even the fact that is christian bale. the batman character from the recent movies wouldnt work. The 90s batman is the type of batman you would get in the jla movies.

Kalyx triaD 12-28-2009 04:18 PM

I think the brooding "I lost my parents, love, and friend" Batman would be great. The concept of the super-team invites heroes of wildly different backgrounds. Continuity wise it doesn't have to be TDK Batman in JLA, some revision is needed.

Reavant 12-28-2009 04:45 PM

yea thats what im saying

Kalyx triaD 01-10-2010 01:48 AM

Blake Lively of Gossip Girl will be GL's Carol Ferris. Hal's girl and eventually Star Sapphire of the recent 'girly' Lanterns (hard to keep up). Most likely her extraordinary duties will be downplayed in the first movie. Her role in the animated New Frontier is probably an accurate idea of how she will be used in live action.

Shadow 01-10-2010 05:44 PM

Hey Kalyx. I might not read much in the way of comics but Star Saphhire has been a major GL villian for years now. It's only been recently they've gone with these multiple Lanturn corps due to Blackest Night being in full swing.

You're right, I was thinking Carol was some 'new generation' Star Sapphire. I never knew who Star Sapphire really was until recently. I've only just studied up my GL knowledge.

Actor Peter Sarsgaard is in negotiations with Warner Bros. to play a key role in the new Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds that Martin Campbell is directing. Sarsgaard will portray the chief villain in the new movie, Hector Hammond, the son of senator who acquires great psychic powers from a meteorite. Created by John Broome and Gil Kane, Hammond first appeared in 1961 and is that relatively rare supervillain who does not use an alias.



According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. hopes to get the big-budget Green Lantern movie in production in New Orleans in March. Sarsgaard, who starred as a charming seducer opposite Carey Mulligan in An Education, one of the best films of 2009, is increasingly typical of the high quality actors willing to take key roles in comic book-based films.

Shadow 01-13-2010 09:08 PM

...Hector Hammond? No Sinestro?

Lock Jaw 01-14-2010 12:33 AM

Sinestro is going to be in it as well. Not cast yet.

Also, in other news, apparently a Spectre animated short is going to come with the new animated Justice League: Crisis on Two Worlds movie. Spectre is a pretty awesome character who I always felt has movie potential. Don't think he has ever appeared in any of the DC cartoons though.

http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2010/01/1...arle-haley.jpg After news broke yesterday that Peter Sarsgaard would likely play the villainous Dr. Hector Hammond in Green Lantern, some of you noted, "What the hey? Why isn't Sinestro the bad guy? He's the yellow yin to Green Lantern's yellow-hating yang, he has a big pink head, he looks like David Niven, and he's pretty much the only Green Lantern villain anyone knows." (Paraphrased.)
Well, guess what, guys: it turns out Sinestro probably is in it! And if he is, Jackie Earle Haley is totally playing him. Hitfix has heard that, "based on the relationship they have with [Haley] from "Watchmen" and "A Nightmare On Elm Street," Jackie Earle Haley is the only choice for Sinestro by the studio," and hints that perhaps he's being set up for villainy in a sequel. So maybe Sinestro will be a good guy in this film, then in the second reveal, "Guess what, Green Lantern, I'm bad! You should have guessed because my name basically contains the word 'sinister'!" And Green Lantern will say, "Welp, etymology fucked me again," which is his catchphrase.

Indifferent Clox 01-18-2010 10:25 AM

I remember when green arrow stole his catchphrase but coudn't pronounce etymology right.

Odessa Rae has been cast as Silver Banshee on Smallville. Check her out on the 16th eps.

Lock Jaw 01-26-2010 12:31 PM

I also hear that Perry White and Martha Kent are both going to appear sometime near the end of the season.

Kalyx triaD 01-26-2010 06:16 PM

Happier to see Mama Kent return. She was something of an anchor for the show.

GL in Space...:

Quote:

I don't know what the percentage is, but there's quite a bit in space. The initial trip up there, the training sessions he has to go through in order to become a Green Lantern. And there, of course at the end, he goes back up to Oa again. And there's a couple bits in between. There'll be enough, I think, to satisfy anybody.

LuigiD 01-27-2010 07:11 PM

Good news about GL.

Kalyx triaD 01-27-2010 07:18 PM

Cartoon Network Scores:

Young Justice, a new animated show based on Teen Titans/Titans (but not linked to the recent show) features Nightwing, Aqualad, and Connor fucking Kent. The style is somewhere between the anime-inspired Teen Titans and Bruce Timm's DCAU style.


Bruce Timm is also working on a Green Lantern series, also for Cartoon Network.

To be canceled after a unsatsifactory ending that leaves many fans scratching their head and going the fuck did I just watch?

But the ride up to that point will be awsome.

Lock Jaw 01-28-2010 12:37 AM

Why wouldn't they just make Young Justice as Robin/Superboy/Impulse like it was in the comics? Stupid.

Young Justice is one of my all time favourite comics too.

parkmania 01-28-2010 04:44 PM

The sequel to Sherlock Holmes, which has already pulled Robert Downey Jr. off Cowboys and Aliens (see “Not So Fast, Pardner”), has now taken director Guy Ritchie off Lobo, which had been planned as his next film. Joel Silver, who’s the producer on both Sherlock Holmes and Lobo, told the L.A. Times’ Geoff Boucher that he expected to move forward on Lobo with a new director. Sherlock’s nearly $400 million in worldwide box office, and Warner’s desire to turn the property into a franchise as soon as possible, was the reason for the decision, according to Silver.

Believe in Bruce Timm.

Guess we have to wait longer for Lobo. :-\

Lock Jaw 01-28-2010 07:09 PM

I dunno. Haven't seen any news anywhere (but here) about the Young Justice thing so I'm thinking it might be fake.

Kalyx triaD 01-28-2010 07:48 PM

Lost the URL to the source, I'll service ya when I find it again.

Lock Jaw 01-28-2010 07:58 PM

Don't know if I want to be serviced by you. It might be real awkward between us afterward.

Kalyx triaD 01-28-2010 08:00 PM

Just avoid eye contact.
