Matt Reeves Batman film with Ben Affleck.

You mean the 2020 Batman movie that probably won't have Ben Affleck in it?

Yeah, that's probably a lot closer to the mark.

Most of the Justice League Stars Would Be Down for a Marvel Crossover Movie

That's about as meaningful as one of the dozen "Tyrese Gibson really wants to play Green Lantern" articles out there. Actors don't get to cast themselves... and the DCEU needs such a thing way, way more than the MCU does.

They were really aiming for the popcorn crowd with this one.

Translation: we expect this movie to sink fast and quick after weekend #1, so let's maximize the number of showings per day, per theater we can before word gets out that it sucks.

They've known that forever, though. What JL is gliding in on is leftover goodwill from "Wonder Woman"... but that will only buy them so much leverage, and they know it.

*ProphetofGanja* · 11-06-2017, 03:58 PM

I wonder how long after Justice League comes out until we hear about Aquaman undergoing extensive reshoots...

And Shazam being cancelled

I think they've already quietly accepted that JL will be a failure. Shazam! I'm sure Geoff has sold to WB as, "This will be the movie to prove to audiences that we can do light-hearted and fun!" But nobody cares about Shazam.

They really don't. I've spent far more time than I should have wondering how they thought they could translate that character into the modern age, and I've got nothing. Shazam seems like something best left in the past.

Like, were they going to try to tie him in with Wonder Woman's mythology to some extent? After all, isn't some of his power derived from Zeus?

Plus the fact that the character was called "Captain Marvel" and the way he's a kid who transforms into a grown-ass man is dumb too. All of this should've been left in the Golden Age of Comics.

Very much. And he can't even sell a comic book. What little goodwill was left in the Captain Marvel fandom was burned by what they did to him in the New52.

And what was that, pray tell?

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 11-06-2017, 04:28 PM

The problem is that WB/DC is holding ALL the awesome source material and potential... and is too scared to use it. They have three or four BIG concepts that Marvel can't or isn't doing right now, but they're sitting on them!

Green Lanterns: Sci-fi buddy cop movie. John Stewart / Hal Jordan.

Gotham City Sirens OR Birds of Prey: Charlie's Angels but with metahumans (Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn or Oracle, Huntress, Black Canary)

Hero versus Gang of Unique Villains: The Flash, first twenty minutes he rounds up all the individuals rogues... the main movie being, of course, the Rogues teaming up for revenge and Flash having to counter all these different and overwhelming attacks (Cold, Heatwave, Weather Wizard, Mirror Master, etc)

Sidekicks! All the Robins and Batgirls spinning out of Batman, with great unique stories and even their own villains. Nightwing, Robin (Damian), Robin (Tim), Red Hood, Batgirl, Oracle, Spoiler...

Wonder Woman and Aquaman are both a great start (when Aquaman happens late next year). Suicide Squad should've been better.

Don't lose the high ground!

Pre-New52, he was always called Captain Marvel, Shazam was the wizard who gave him his powers. When Billy Batson says "Shazam!" a lightning bolt comes down and he becomes Captain Marvel.

Post-New52, he's a troubled youth who bounces around foster homes and IS Shazam. "Captain Marvel" no longer exists. And he looks like a douche now:

Yeah, DC has a lot of cool properties. Maybe all of this speaks more to problems at Warner Bros than at DC, the trouble has all been in translating their comic properties to the big screen.

Whoever decided to give Zack Snyder a shot at that first Superman movie must feel pretty stupid now

Does anyone else get a little bit angry when Cyborg starts smashing his cords into the Bat-whateveritis-vehicle in all of the trailers and spots they're pushing now? I feel like, "Who the f*** are you?" and "Why are we glamorizing some random character f***ing up Batman's stuff?" How is this supposed to make us like him?
