James Gunn DC Slate

[ZariusTwo]

A cancelation.

https://www.thewrap.com/sgt-rock-mov...a-guadagnino/?


The Sgt. Rock movie won't go forward at Warner

[ToTheNines]

I’m shocked!

[IMJ]

But the SLATE THE SLATE!!! Anyone who wanted that cancelled simply can't have any merit as a source of experience or knowledge! THe SLATE!!!

whoof. sorry. Got possessed for a minute by a previous irrational, obsessed, maniac forum member.

[Andrew NDB]

Get ready for Swamp Thing, though! An A lister! Actually 5 AAA diamond stars rated.

[CyberCubed]

If Superman underperforms they'll definitely cancel half the planned movies besides the ones that are very far along or just keep the Batman-centric movies. They'll keep Supergirl since that's already underway, and the Brave and the Bold movie which is supposed to be the debut of this universes Batman and Damian Wayne? As far as I remember.

Then there's the Green Lantern TV series but that will go forward with HBO.

[Andrew NDB]

They'd wait until after Supergirl to make any "hard" decisions. Though I shudder to think the lessons that would be learned if Superman tanks and yet Supergirl somehow does gangbusters. Can you imagine?

It's not possible that you are an informed Green Lantern fan because if you were you'd love this slate! Only one man, and he alone, can see how amazing this slate was - only he had the vision to understand the depths of this brilliance of movie announcements.

And now he'll have to make his own stop motion Sgt. Rock movie. Because it aint on the slate no more.

As for the actual continued convo - why did they pick that actress to play Supergirl? Isn't Supergirl basically an Aphrodite? A Cleopatra? A Pam Anderson? A... dare I say it.... Melissa Benoist?

It's funny, just like with Man of Steel so many years ago, the whole plan relies on Superman being successful. When MoS failed, it took years to get the sequel and instead of Superman 2 it became a Batman movie featuring Superman basically and then Justice League which both underperformed and we all know how that went.

The Superman movie looks good but I mean I'm not going to watch it in theaters, I don't really think people will either. It also has a lot of "competition". But you know, I don't see the competition doing well either. You have Fantastic Four which are another set of superhero movies that have never been very successful and people in general are tired of cape movies. And you also have Jurassic World Rebirth, which dinosaurs could've hit with audiences as something different...but in case you're not familiar they added a Rancor like mutant, not even a hybrid dinosaur a straight up star wars looking gorilla monster as the main bad guy. So I hope everything fails but I guess one of the movies would have to "beat" the others.

To be fair, I assume the MCU would have been quietly shelved if Iron Man just didn't resonate with audiences and bombed horribly.

I honestly don't know what made me see Iron Man to be honest. I know he's important in the comics, but he just didn't seem all that big to me, at the time, like Spider-Man, Wolverine or even Captain America. I guess I was just curious, but RDJ's energy just kept me hook all the way through. The way he wanted a Big Mac first thing upon being rescued and being returned to America.

I think it's good casting. Supergirl should be a little plucky thing, physically much smaller than Superman but still with real beauty. It's only in the modern era that Supergirl has become like "Superman's Equal" and Superwoman in everything but name.

What version of Supergirl have you been reading? Sure she's a pretty blonde, but she wasn't like a damn super model. Are you confusing her with Power Girl?

[CyberCubed]

I mean doesn't Supergirl always start off as a teen? They intentionally cast a girl who looks young, especially if they plan on keeping her around if there's like 10 year plan for this universe. She'll age over time.

Bro lol big tits doesn't mean "hot model", it just means big tits.
Supergirl is routinely crazy attractive. Power Girl isn't "hot" - she's a porn star on-page.

I dunno - Laura V or Melissa B are more "Supergirly" in my mind's eye than the new girl. I just don't find her very attractive facially to be honest.

Nobody wants a fat ****ing cow as supergirl, I grew up with DCAU Supergirl and Loeb's Supergirl. To me Supergirl is ultra skinny and it's how it should be.
Powergirl is the fat "thick" one for chubby lovers.

I can't believe I agree with you, but I do. In my head canon, the perfect Supergirl is Michael Turner's from the Loeb Superman/Batman book. And that is a goddess.

I actually have the Michael Turner Supergirl figure. It's the only Supergirl figure I own. But she's not, like, tall. She's rather short.

Yeah I mean - it's not the height, it's the glamorous overall package. Honestly the new Supergirl looks like she'd fit in more with the weird agenda-casting of The Last of Us. I'm just not feeling it.

On that note, I remember some years back DC Direct was doing some "artist accurate" releases that simply blow away what McFarlane is doing today. The Ed McGuinness releases from Superman/Batman looked amazing - I've always wanted those but never put them together.

I'm not sure if I ever saw the Michael Turner styled-figures. That would be another amazing set.

EDIT
OMFG dude I just saw the DC Direct Superman/Batman Return of Supergirl stuff... oh God it looks awful. SO disappointing. It looks like they took a schizophrenic person, made him study Turner's art and sculpt what he saw.

[Andrew NDB]

Like I think I said in the other thread, a picture is one thing... but if you watch this Supergirl actress actually perform, like in the Game of Thrones spinoff, there's something to her.

Update on the slate:

[CyberCubed]

The Batman 2 not until 2027...and no Batman in James Gunn for the forseeable future? That really does not bode well. Making a Clayface movie seems dumb too. For trying to start a new universe they're already confusing it and taking too long to get the established heroes out.
