When you look at shots of BVS on the green screen it looks really fun. And then they add gloomy backgrounds and take all the color out. Zach Snyder may be better at ensemble though. Dawn of the Dead and Watchmen were alright. He's such a mixed bag director.

Doesn't all discussion of the "DC Cinematic universe" rightfully belong in the fun house? Or are there people honestly trying to take it seriously at this point?

Not that I didn't enjoy Batman Vs. Superman (just because DC is a joke and can't spell doesn't mean I have to indulge their delusion) wait, me correcting someone's spelling, reality TV star running for President, Ben Affleck as Batman, women pretending to be Ghostbusters, it must truly be the end of the world.

hmm

Diana travels from the bright a sunny island to the grim dark stage of World War I. At least her outfit still looks blue, red and gold and wasn't completely desaturated.

I just now watched the trailer. Certainly nothing to get HYPED about, but it doesn't look terrible, could even be pretty decent if not actually entertaining. DCCU potentially moving in the right direction.
BvS was a steep decline, and SS was still in the hole, but trying to climb back out. Could WW be the hand gripping the surface? Will it pull the DCCU out of the hole in hopes that Snyder doestn't "This is Sparta" them all right back in with JL?

I like that she's the only thing not desaurated. It seems like she brings color back to the land of grey.

I think it looks pretty good. Also, DC gets the nod for having the first "CU" female superhero movie.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #107 on:** November 04, 2016, 09:56:53 PM »

By "CU" I assume you mean "in the movies"

otherwise technically, Quake counts, and so does Jessica Jones.

edit: I just realized you said superhero movie.
for some reason my mind left that last word out...

I finished Legends of Tomorrow S1 and I don't get the boos this is getting from people. It is a ridiculously fun time travel adventure story. It was fun and a lot less serious than Arrow. Still working of Arrow S4 and Flash S2, but those are held up by waiting for time with the wife.

The EPIC DCTVU Crossover event is coming up.

DC gets to beat Marvel to the punch once again, upping the ante on the small screen, where as a collection of connected shows, it reigns supreme.

The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl & Legends of Tomorrow in a 4 part crossover.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday!? That's pretty crazy.

edit: and I swear I saw (a new?) Deathstroke in the 2nd promo!

hmmmm

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #110 on:** November 24, 2016, 06:59:43 PM »

New 2 minute trailer. As more or less a fan of all 4 shows, this looks pretty fun

Ayer is coming back to DC, and this time it's for a chick flick

DC Sirens could be a cool product. However, the DC universe has not confirmed Batman's allies, so it makes it harder.

Personally, if I was to do this movie, I would do it as a movie taking place after Suicide Squad and treat it like a sequel. Harley Quinn has a falling out with the Joker. And in a solo bank heist gets caught up with Poison Ivy (Like the TV show episode) Cat Woman gets involved somehow and is kinda a mole/double agent character working with Nightwing or the Birds of Prey.

Boom you introduce either A)Nightwing into the universe or B)The Birds of Prey Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress, Cat Woman, I dunno on other character (Let's pull Katana from Suicide Squad into the mix for more carryover) Make it a fun comedic vibe, but more lighthearted than even Suicide Squad.

UncleBob · « **Reply #113 on:** January 04, 2017, 02:29:53 AM »

Just getting caught up on the 'Arrowverse' - can I just say that Hank Henshaw calling himself 'Cyborg Superman' makes absolutly no sense in-universe and annoys me far more than it probably should.

Flashpoint to be the new storyline of the Flash solo movie?
might as well schedule The Batman to follow that and kick things off right.

nickmitch · « **Reply #116 on:** January 17, 2017, 07:45:10 PM »

Flashpoint is a great storyline and probably a good way to showcase the character, but I hope they don't go with the "reboot" angle.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #117 on:** January 20, 2017, 01:21:46 AM »

I think this video made some good points about what is ultimately wrong with the DCCU as it stands right now:
https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=bzUoc3FxZXU

tl:dw
the characters have no depth. no clear character arcs or development. they just are kinda there, and then do stuff.

edit:
to add to it, I think that we;ve seen too many adaptations of the main characters that we've LOVED over the years, and what we get in the DCCU is not what we were expecting. And the fact that we never really get to know the characters, outside of seeing what amazing feats they can accomplish, means that ultimately, as characters, I don't relate to them, don't understand their motivations, and mostly don't care what happens to them outside of the next action set piece.

They didn't need to follow the Marvel formula of several solos before the BIG team-up, but they should have done several team-ups before the big showdown, which may have cameo'd some or most of the Suicide Squad and introduced most if not all of the future Justice league (organically through storytelling) before there was a Suicide Squad movie, and before the showdown between BvS.

nickmitch · « **Reply #118 on:** January 21, 2017, 02:50:08 PM »

Well, they didn't have the luxury of Batman and Wonder Woman origin films, but they did with Superman. They still came up completely short in the character development for him. It's just plain bad storytelling. It just gets worse when you compound characters into that mess and rush into something.

Smaller team-ups to build into Justice League could've worked, but you'd still need a handful of solo films to bounce those off of. Maybe Cyborg's origin is in a Batman movie. Maybe Wonder Woman meets Aquaman in a movie. Superman meets the Flash. That could've worked. Then in the JL movie everyone has a friend they can call in for back up.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #120 on:** January 24, 2017, 03:00:41 AM »

Say what you will about the above characters in Justice League, say what you will about the DCCU so far, but GOTHAM (on Fox) has NAILED the Joker so far. (and The Flash on The CW has a better Flash costume

)

WB should be ashamed for dumping Jared Leto's joker on us while FOX brought the Joker we actually expected and wanted to life on the small screen instead. Ian from Shameless has the look, the mannerisms, and the laugh. He sounds like Hamill joker from Batman TAS and acts like Ledger Joker from Batman TDK and comes together to make I think the best live action Joker we have seen yet.
It's a damn shame that another studio had to show WB how to creatively develop one of it's iconic characters, and they did it on a TV budget.. on network TV. It's a damn shame he can't be Joker in the movies too. Jared needs to tune in and find some new motivation for his portrayal.

nickmitch · « **Reply #121 on:** January 24, 2017, 11:29:45 AM »

Flash looks like he's in a robot suit, and Cyborg looks like a Michael Bay Transformer.

These are the hottest takes I could come up with.

You want me to sully the original post with that?

of course not.... I almost didn't post it at all, but I figured, Hey! DC's got stuff too, so I might as well share, even if it is not exactly the stuff we wanted (unless it's on TV).

Looks like I might be right after all....

WB ordered a page 1 rewrite of The Flash script.
my guess is a Snyderless reboot, using time travel by The Flash and leading into The Batman, and then Justice League 2
