It's not for me.

Enjoy if it's for you.
I don't find any of the Amazons' outfits in WW or JL attractive or cool. Maybe the full-on armored ones in their elegance, and those look about 100% the same between WW and JL. In my brain the costumes only register as "generic Greco Roman crap that Amazons wear."

Don't get me wrong, there are about a million reasons -- and they're good ones -- for why someone wouldn't want to or shouldn't see JL. The Amazons' casual attire being leatherized a bit more just seems like a strange one.

So, how soon after Justice League do we think WB/DC will roll out their latest plan going forward? I guess whenever the next big convention happens?

And can we finally get confirmation that Matthew Vaughn is gonna do Man of Steel 2? Or if we want a little distance from Man of Steel 1, rebrand the sequel as The Man of Tomorrow or even Superman: Reborn?

Have they been positive? The majority of reviews I've seen say the story is a complete mess but it's fun so it's better than BvS. That doesn't scream positive to me.

"Superman" seems the most obvious.

Ugh... they really are sticking to that outline, aren't they? This is bad.

Rotten Tomatoes will instead be saving the reveal of the score until 12:01am EST on Thursday 11/16 as part of the site’s new Facebook show See It/Skip It.

That's really dumb, I bet Metacritic will have the reviews up before Rotten Tomatoes.

It's really odd to imagine back in 2013, when Man of Steel came out that by the eve of 2018, there would be no Man of Steel 2 or even a Batman 1 anywhere in sight... but instead "Flash TIME TRAVEL Megavent!" and stuff like "Suicide Squad 2" and "SHAZAM!"

i knew they were shooting themselves in the foot when they announced they were focussing on other heroes before moving forward with another Batman solo film.

We just finished Dark Knight trilogy, a break from Batman films is a good move tbh (and we still got him in Batman v Superman & Suicide Squad; he's not totally gone).

That wrapped up 5 years ago, and we already met the new Batman a couple of years ago yet his actual movie is nowhere on the radar and it's an actual question as to whether or not the guy that's played this Batman for two non-Batman movies is even going to play Batman in the hypothetical The Batman movie. This doesn't make any sense. Far be it for me to want everything to be Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman (because that's sort of what ruins the comics) but they kind of need to establish those as the supporting pillars of the film world or anything else.

On a sidenote, remember this?



I'm told that...

Spoiler:
The JL movie retcons that hubbub into "Unite the 7 seas!"


Yeah... um...

There's a good chance that Flash movie is going to reset the entire DCEU at the end, remember how they said 2018 would be a reset year, and Ben Affleck wants to gracefully leave the Batman role?

by 2018 or the end of it, they are probably starting over and rebooting Batman... again.

You know whose to blame for all this? Geoff Johns, he's supposed to fix this whole mess, instead, he's only making it worst.

2018 will be the year the DCEU movies get away from the Zack Snyder influence, and each director will have there own take on it, after all Warner Bros is supposed to be a Director friendly studio.

I think in many ways it's not fault of one single person, but greed of DC as a whole.
They wanted to make bank without putting any efforts like Marvel into establishing their own universe and they have payed for it. As it should be.

Man, I hope this isn't true for DC's sake. I mean, if the movie couldn't fit GL in, it's fine, I get it... but don't feel honor-bound to insert some stupid plot point that no one will understand unless they looked at the film's earliest marketing materials. People are just going to laugh at you for trying too hard in the wrong direction.

While it's all on DCs part, I do think the anti-DC bias in the media and criticism was a big part of it. DC should've been more rational of course but they're like a pre-teen girl who's not ready to face any criticism without panicking about what to do.

Chicken Soup For the DC soul.

I don't fault DC for their misses as much as I fault them for scrapping/changing everything the moment something doesn't go as planned. They did it with Superman Returns, Green Lantern, Man of Steel, BvS, Suicide Squad, Justice League. They don't get to do it anymore.

WB, an owner of Rotten Tomatoes, is withholding the RT score until release so it doesn't hurt the box office. Where are all the nutjob DC fans now that claim Disney and RT are in cahoots to pump up their Marvel movie scores?

I want to believe that, although I'm pretty positive he's still directing the JL sequel.
