I was opposed to Ben Affleck being Batman...but it turns out he might be the best thing that has happened to the DC universe in a long time.

I was too. Still am. He looks reeruned in that trailer. His voice is just stupid. Following John Oliver, he's #NotMyBatman.

NewChief 07-24-2016 07:05 AM

Looks kind of cool. Of course Batman V Supe looked kind of cool in trailers, too, and it was a freaking mess. I did watch the extended cut though. Hopefully the superfluous dream sequence where Batman dreams about flying alien bugs in an apocalyptic wasteland wasn't in the normal movie.

Probably a good bet they introduce him after Darkseid attacks Earth. Intergalactic police crew, and all.

It's obvious they have 'lightened the mood' and added more jokes. Since that seems to be the current trend.

GoTG, Deadpool, Suicide Squad...,

Darkseid. Parademon. Apokalips.

Man, I knew there was a reason I was a Marvel fanboy over DC. I just didn't realize it was as simple as naming conventions.

Ha.

I've always been a Marvel over DC guy as well, but I seem to like DC graphic novels far better than Marvel's. Strange. I particularly like Marvel's cosmic storylines over DC's, and that very much includes Thanos over Darkseid. This applies to the movie lines to this point as well - the MCU has FAR exceeded the DCU.

I still think it's a matter of quantity over quality. I know there's a group hate-on for Man of Steel, but I think it and BvS are both at least on par with either Avengers movie. The last two Captain America movies are better, but they have the benefit of established characters in an established universe. Guardians of the Galaxy was good. But after that what is there? The first Iron Man doesn't really hold up now, as great as Downey is in the role, and the next two weren't very good. Neither Thor movie was particularly good (though I liked them both). There's a lot of 'meh' there, in overall Marvel terms, but they helped establish the overall universe. Wheras we only have two DC universe movies so far. That's all.

I'd say check back in a year or two, once we see what Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Justice League turn out to be, and we can actually compare the two on a bit more equal terms. If they turn out to be anywhere close to as good as the trailers this weekend were, we might well be talking about the two cinematic universes on relatively even footing. Time will tell.

I agree. The Man of Steel took a while to grow on me because it was such different take but I really enjoy the film today. As mentioned in the thread, I finally watched BvS UE last night and was blown away. I don't understand all of the criticism I've seen on a CP but I didn't see the theatrical and I'm not a comic book reader.

Outside of Ant Man, Guardians and Winter Soldier, the Marvel movies for me have been a gigantic "Meh". As you pointed out, Iron Man no longer holds up, the Thor movies aren't good, the Hulk movies have been crap, Iron Man 2 was awful, three was a little better, Captain America was sooooooo slow and boring and so on. And my dislike of the Avengers movies is well documented.

I'm really surprised at the reaction to BvS but if all of the changes at WB make for even better DC films, I'm all for it. The Justice League and Suicide Squad trailers look awesome and personally, I loved Affleck as Batman, so I'm looking forward to his stand alone film.

noa 07-24-2016 08:38 PM

Sweet trailer, looking forward to the next installation. I also recently watched BvS -- thought the first half was a little disjointed, but after that, I was all in. This looks even better, although who really knows from the trailer.

I'm guessing he shows up toward the end of the movie.

I hope Green Lantern gets involved later but nothing has been said.

I've heard Matt Damon would do a superheroine if Affleck assisted directing. He could be my GL or Green Arrow.

Amnorix 07-25-2016 07:52 AM

A brooding, ripped, enigmatic, aloof Aquaman seems pretty ****ing perfect. They need to get as far away as possible from the absurd, useless, orange-suited third-rate banana that we all think of when we think Aquaman.

So far I like the casting, though I definitely would've been fine with whathisname from the Flash TV show being in the movie.

Glad they're lightening the mood too. Too ****ing dark. If you want to do stand-alones with a darker-themed Dark Knight, that's fine, but when you expand the scope to Justice League, I'll take something a little less pessimistic and grim, please, thankyouverymuch.

Yes I did. Then again, the only Batman I didn't like was Val. Admittedly, I've never been a big fan of Affleck. He's one rung above Cruise on my current cheeseball actors list. Thought Argo was great though.

I will see Suicide Squad in the theater, so that will probably be my first viewing of the new Batman. I'll wait until BvS is on Netflix or HBO to watch. If Suicide Squad is good, I'll probably see Justice League in the thater.

In a rather wacky fandom fantasy, an online petition was launched recently by fans of Charlie Hunnam asking DC and Warner Brothers to cast him as Green Arrow in The Justice League Part One movie, slated to release in November next two years.

The petition was launched on Change.org by a group of comic book and Charlie Hunnam enthusiasts who were disappointed with DC’s decision not to feature Green Arrow in the big screen version of The Justice League, which is to be directed by Zach Snyder, and stars Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), and Ray Fisher (Cyborg) in the lead roles.

Earlier, DC and Warner Brothers had announced their decision not to include Green Arrow in the core group of Justice League superheroes, disappointing fans of the hit live-action TV show Arrow, who had grown used to Stephen Amell’s portrayal of the green hood-sporting superhero.

But after Amell was not picked up for a film version, rumors began circulating on the internet that Warner Brothers and DC were open to the idea of including Green Arrow’s character in The Justice League Part One, but that they were not satisfied with Amell playing the part. It was then that Charlie Hunnam fans came up with the idea of him being cast as Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, primarily because of his uncanny similarities with the character in the comic books.

Who will wear the green hood on the big screen? And I believe Charlie Hunnam of the recently ended Sons of Anarchy and Pacific Rim is perfect for the job. [Charlie Hunnam] definitely has the looks. He’s got the seriousness and grittiness that DC is bringing to their superhero films. He’s got the acting ability. He’s got the fan-base. He’s got what it takes to bring the Green Arrow to the DC movie universe and to finally make an appearance alongside the Justice League in 2017… Don’t you all want to see Oliver Queen be brought to life on the big screen? All Charlie Hunnam needs now is to be noticed by both DC and Warner Brothers to get this going!

Well, some think that Charlie Hunnam would make a fine Green Arrow, but until this dream turns into reality, we can at least get our regular Charlie Hunnam fix in Crimson Peak and Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur.

Agreed.

Always hated Hawkeye, too. They're basically just low-rent Batmen with bow and arrow.

All they do is steal screen-time from the actual cool superheroes.

I'm not a fan of Hawkeye either but at least he's a little more like Deadshot than just a low rent Batman with sillier weapons.

In the Arrow TV show, the show was okay the first couple of seasons when he was taking on human criminals. When he started taking on metahumans and magical beings, it got stupid because he was so underpowered compared to his enemies.

Sure-Oz 07-25-2016 04:15 PM

GA has a sense of humor and is a lower version of Batman. That said I've enjoyed the comics and the show arrow until season 4

ThaVirus 07-25-2016 10:14 PM

He's The Flash's personality with Batman's backstory and a ridiculous repertoire. He had an arrow that turned into an inflatable raft to stop a guy from hitting the ground in free-fall. That is so stupid.

He's an OK guy for a standalone series but not one I want to see in the bigger picture.

I'm wanting to know how Green Lantern shows up, personally...

tk13 03-25-2017 11:43 AM

Yeah, that's my worry about all these movies. I actually think there are some decent ideas but Snyder crammed about 4 movies worth of material into BvS... I hope this isn't the same. Just from watching the trailer you'd think this thing will have zero exposition and be a two hour action scene... just to fit everyone in.

And the dumbest thing they did with the last movie was reveal Doomsday. Let's hope they don't do that again and show Superman in the next trailer.

They've got shots of Mera in what I'd have to assume is Atlantis, a parademon showing up in Cyborg's dad's house, Flash's father in jail and a quick clip of Cyborg playing football before his incident so I'm sure they're going to be cramming a bunch of shit in this one.

I just hope they're able to flesh everything out properly.

I won't be mad about a 2-hour actionfest, but D.C. needs to deliver a good movie at this point. They're past due.

Bowser 03-25-2017 02:30 PM

^ That

Doesn't help matters that Marvel is basically crushing DC at the box office, as well (ironic, because DC comics are generally better received than Marvel's). Zach Snyder is a true modern day master at VFX (loved the visuals in Sucker Punch), but now he has to put together a good story to go along with the flashy shit he's good at. He has it in him; Watchmen is a great movie where he does a fantastic job bringing to life characters from a comic. He needs to do it here.

My one concern is that they're forcing Darkseid into the fray way too early. There is no shortage of heavies that could take on the Justice League, but they're jumping to the top of the baddie mountain with Darkseid for the League's first team up.

Sure-Oz 03-25-2017 02:44 PM

No. Maybe not this Justice League movie but Supes will return and they will have some excuse to have his Kansas (Kevin Costner) dad in it for no real reason what so ever.


That was the point when I decided I didn't like Sup v Bat because for no GOD DAMNED reason what so ****ing ever they just had to have Superman dead dad in it to have a little talk with Superman up in the mountains. That was the biggest waist of time I've ever scene.

Zack Snyder Steps Down From 'Justice League' to Deal With Family Tragedy


**

The filmmaker's daughter died by suicide in March, prompting him to take a break from work and Joss Whedon to finish the Warner Bros. superhero pic: "I’ve decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me."

Superheroes have always been about doing the right thing in the hardest of circumstances. Now Zack Snyder, one of the biggest filmmakers in the genre and the director of*Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*and the upcoming*Justice League, finds himself in just such a situation.

Snyder tells*The Hollywood Reporter*he is stepping away from*Justice League, Warner Bros.’ all-star DC Comics superhero mega-movie that is in post-production, in order to deal with the sudden death of his daughter. Snyder's wife, Deborah Snyder, who is a producer on*Justice League, also is taking a break to focus on the healing of their family.

Stepping in to shepherd the movie through post and the shooting of some additional scenes will be Joss Whedon, the*Avengers*filmmaker and creator of*Buffy the Vampire Slayer.*With Whedon's help, the movie is still on track for its Nov. 17 release date.

Snyder’s daughter, Autumn Snyder, died by suicide in March at age 20. Her death has been kept private, with only a small inner circle aware of what happened, even as the movie was put on a two-week break for the Snyders to deal with the immediate effects of the tragedy. Zack Snyder says he initially was eager to return to the film, which stars Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller.

“In my mind, I thought it was a cathartic thing to go back to work, to just bury myself and see if that was way through it,” says an emotional Snyder in an interview Monday in his office on the Warner Bros. lot with Deborah sitting by his side. “The demands of this job are pretty intense. It is all consuming. And in the last two months I’ve come to the realization …I’ve decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time.*I’m*having a hard time.”

The studio is fully behind the move. “What they are going through is unimaginable, and my heart — our hearts — go out to them, says Warner Bros. Pictures president Toby Emmerich.

One of the first things the studio floated was the possibility of pushing back the release date of the movie, but the Snyders decided against that suggestion. Warners also extended Snyder's first-look deal to give him time to work on other planned projects when he returns to work.*

Snyder, after screening a rough cut of*Justice League*for fellow filmmakers and friends, wanted to add additional scenes, so he brought Whedon on board to write them. But as he prepared to shoot the scenes in England, Snyder realized it was not the time to leave home. “The directing is minimal and it has to adhere to the style and tone and the template that Zack set,” says Emmerich. “We’re not introducing any new characters. It’s the same characters in some new scenes. He’s handing a baton to Joss but the course has really been set by Zack. I still believe that despite this tragedy, we’ll still end up with a great movie.”

This isn’t the first time that Warners has had to deal with the unthinkable affecting a high-profile DC movie. In 2008, Heath Ledger passed away after shooting had wrapped for*The Dark Knight*but prior to the movie being finished and released. The tragedy put the studio and filmmaker Christopher Nolan in a very delicate position of balancing mourning with the demands of releasing a tentpole.

The Internet and comic book movie fans being what they are, Snyder already is anticipating what what some DC loyalists may think.

“Here’s the thing, I never planned to make this public,” he says. “I thought it would just be in the family, a private matter, our private sorrow that we would deal with. When it became obvious that I need to take break, I knew there would be narratives created on the internet. They’ll do what they do. The truth it…I’m past caring about that kind of thing now.”

The death of Autumn, Zack's daughter from his first marriage (in addition to Autumn, he and Deborah have been raising seven kids and step-kids) has brought a new perspective and a new focus for him. “I want the movie to be amazing and I’m a fan, but that all pales pretty quickly in comparison," he says. “I know the fans are going to be worried about the movie but there are seven other kids that need me,” he says. “ In the end, it’s just a movie. It’s a great movie. But it’s just a movie.

Autumn, who was attending Sarah Lawrence College, loved “to write, to write, to write,” says Deborah. Their daughter had written a sci-fi fantasy novel in the first person. It featured a character who was an outsider and who had trouble fitting in.

Deborah is holding on to the thought that she was the first person her daughter gave the book to read, even now as the story takes on a new meaning under the circumstances. “You’re heading her voice,” Deborah says, fighting back tears. *

The Snyders would like to someday see that manuscript published, with the proceeds going to a charity. “In the end, she didn’t make it, but her character does and I think there would be something cathartic for people,” says Zack.

The thought of his daughter’s writing prompts Zack to recall another memory. Autumn had a quote that she included in everything she wrote. (“Every. Single. Thing,” chuckles Zack). It’s from author Chris Palahniuk: “We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.”

“Maybe this helps,” Zack says.

That is horrible. Nobody should ever have to deal with something like that.

Kudos to Whedon for jumping in

Man, that is terrible. Literally every parent's worst nightmare. How does Snyder even try to begin to bounce back from something like that?

Yeah, very cool of Whedon to step in. Marvel must have REALLY pissed him off - first Batgirl now Justice League (even with the extenuating circumstances).

I think it was less that Marvel pissed him off, and more that, if he was going to do another superhero movie, he wanted it to be a female lead. Marvel was looking for a female director for Captain Marvel and didn't have a spot in their schedule to do Black Widow, therefore Batgirl.

Black Widow is overdue as well.

Batman VS Superman was the dumbest movie ever made- this one does not look much better.

ThaVirus 07-22-2017 03:25 PM

So who shows up? Supes? Green Lantern? Someone else?

It has to be the Man of Steel because unless Warner Brothers made the Green Lantern casting sign an NDA, there's no way that it wouldn't have been reported by someone.

It's obviously Supes.

Shazam is my guess since it would be a nice segway to the franchise.

Has Shazam even been cast yet? Armie Hammer's name has been floating around.
