And again, they are NOT saying there won't be any humor. People are jumping to ridiculous conclusions.

This is apparently the new Batmobile.

Yeah I have no idea what I'm looking at either, really.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-09-2014, 01:21 PM

Looks kinda like the Burtonmobile on Tumbler wheels. I dig it.

The low cockpit has sort of a Norm Breyfogle look and feel to it, like 'Tec Comics from 1990 sorta, but with bigger tires. I like how it's clearly borrowing and merging familiar designs. I love the Tumbler, but I like how this one seems to have a more streamlined look to it. The Tumbler definitely served its purpose and kicked all kinds of ass, but as functionally awesome as it was, I'm happy to once again see a sleeker Batmobile. I hope they do some cool stuff with it. They have a lot to live up to, the last car was an absolute beast.

We still need a lot more to go on as far as the story behind the movie, etc., but so far they've been mostly hitting it out of the park with the visual style. If nothing else it's almost certainly gonna look great. I can't really say I've disliked any of what we've seen so far, everything visual has been entirely in the right direction. Let's hope the story backs it up.

Is anyone else worried they're going to push the New 52 romance between Superman and Wonder Woman in this film? I hate that pairing and I hope that's not what they go for, but with it being a "thing" in the current comics I can see them doing it.

I prefered how in the Justice League cartoon they had Batman and Wonder Woman as a pairing instead. Superman and Wonder Woman need to be "humanized" with power-less humans like Lois Lane and Bruce, rather than see two superpowered beasts together.

Wait, that's actually a thing now? For some reason I just really hate that idea. I'd rather do the Batman/WW thing from B:TAS.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-09-2014, 08:47 PM

It is but it isn't. It "is" in the current comics, because the Lois and Clark status quo was "stale", and having him be married or even really have the slightest bit of happiness at all makes Superman "unmarketable" and "unrelatable", so when DC pulled their New 52 garbage they changed it so Lois and Clark's relationship never happened, and they've been doing a really lousy Superman/Wonder Woman "romance" in their dual book. I only dip into new DC occasionally, but I really haven't liked Diana's personality at all since the relaunch, and as far as Clark goes she comes off as though she really doesn't care for him at all, she never even replies when he tells her he loves her (meanwhile, she used to tell everyone she loved them, even her enemies... the New 52 versions of these characters are some of the worst they've ever been written, just SO goddamn OOC across then board). It comes off more like, "Well, I'm a super-powered Amazon, and I gotta screw someone, so it might as well be the guy who could punch through a mountain"; she seems completely disinterested otherwise, and it makes Diana look like a complete bitch and Clark look like a total goddamn putz.

But being married to Lois apparently made him seem "too old", so this is... better?

Most sane people reject the premise and only accept it as "something DC is tinkering with for now". I don't know anyone who really "likes" it. It's been done so horribly. Whether it's "stale" or "boring" or whatever else, everyone knows Lois and Clark belong together and everything in between is just a tease.

So I highly doubt they're going to cram that Clark/Diana angle into the new movie after they had Lois and Clark hook up way earlier than usual in "Man of Steel". They felt the "cat and mouse" game between Lois and Clark was played out so they skipped it and went right to her knowing his identity them "being together"; I kind of don't fully embrace that, but it's fine and I get why they did it. It wouldn't make sense to do that just to over-complicate things again by having him fall for Diana in the next movie. I don't think they'll do that.

It's cool lookin'

I would have prefered something a little toned down though.

*sdp* · 09-11-2014, 10:33 PM

It's obvious the movies will have humor, talk about getting the pitchforks out without understanding the context. DC just doesn't want to do a "Marvel" by following the comedy/action formula they take with their movies. DC wants to differentiate by having a more serious story, of course it'll have humor in it. And that is such a great move, first of all because they're not copying Marvel, second I'm personally bored of the Marvel Comedy/Action formula, it worked great for Iron Man but every Marvel movie following that same script takes the fun out of me and finally they tried that formula with Green Lantern and failed terribly at it.

*NinjaPug* · 10-15-2014, 11:02 AM

WB officially announced the titles of their upcoming DC films:

2016: BvS, Suicide Squad
2017: Wonder Woman, Justice League
2018: Flash, Aquaman
2019: Shazam, Justice League 2

Also working on solo Superman, Batman and Cyborg movies. And a Green Lantern reboot.

http://www.slashfilm.com/dc-movie-slate-revealed/

Also officially announced Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Ezra Miller as the Flash.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 10-15-2014, 11:12 AM

So at this point they're trying to get people excited by announcing all of their films for the next FIVE YEARS.

*sdp* · 10-15-2014, 02:58 PM

So I guess this means that the movie universe won't be in continuity with the TV shows. Kind of disappointed counting the TV shows have created the greatest version of Arrow and so far a pretty good Flash...I guess the Flash could be Wally West in the movie but I doubt it. Especially since the TV shows will be doing their own Suicide Squad. Not excited about the GL reboot either, the film is salvageable.

To be fair Marvel has done the same.

Sure, but a lot of it is sort of implied. I mean, everyone pretty much knows there'll be an Avengers 3, a Thor 3, an Iron Man 4, a GotG 2, an Avengers 4... but there haven't been any official announcements confirming any of those, have there?

Marvel's announced Age of Ultron, Cap 3, Doc Strange... and I think that's as far as they've gotten.

DC's sort of just sucking all the fun out of it by just announcing everything up to 2019 through a Twitter announcement. Batman vs. Superman is still a couple years from coming out... wouldn't it be more appropriate to make this sort of announcement then, when hype is high and it's two years later?

*sdp* · 10-15-2014, 03:14 PM

I forgot to mention that its also disappointing that the TV shows won't be in continuity since Marvel shows are. It'll just be awful to see a more boring version of a character than the one on the TV show...

I agree the announcement is a little early but at least we now know what DC is doing which we had no idea before. Also Batman vs Superman is not "a couple of years" away its less than a year and a half away, again its still far away but your comment implies 3+ years which is just ridiculous. I was specifically talking about the original announcement which revealed Captain America/Thor/Iron Man 2/Avengers coming out. That was as much of a "spoiler" as this. It would've also been better to slowly speculate if they were indeed going to make an Avengers movie with each coming release instead of "oh Avengers is in 2012 so we'll be rushing the origins of the other superheroes to get it out by then"

And Marvel has announced plenty of movies of the ones you "speculated" only Iron Man 4 and Avengers 4 haven't been announced, much of "Phase 3" has been announced including Ant Man and many others after Avengers 2 so the criticism to DC goes also towards Marvel.

*TurtleTitan97* · 10-17-2014, 03:47 PM

Robin may be appearing in the movie, and just like The Dark Knight Returns, will be a girl: http://comicbook.com/2014/10/17/robi...man-lex-lutho/

*ToTheNines* · 10-17-2014, 05:46 PM

As long as Dick, Barbara, Jason and (I guess) Tim have all existed in this universe in some capacity, I am so down with Carrie being Robin.

Hopefully it's true, even if Dawson casting a 29 year old isn't ideal.
