[Movies] The DC Cinematic Universe - The David Zazlav Dumpster Fire.

Jesse Eisenberg is a pretty solid actor so he gets benefit of the doubt. That said, I really, really hope that his Luthor isn't the swarmy arrogant kid he played in Social Network and Now You See Me. I know he can do more than that, but he's a bit known for that particular type, and I just can't feel Luthor like that.

Come to think of it, that's not too far off from the way Mark Waid wrote Luthor in Birthright.
 
When I see someone known for character driven shows cite creative differences, it makes me less hopeful than ever that Wonder Woman is going to be more than Superman with tits.

...And the Wonder Woman film has lost its director over "creative differences".

Sorry, I just can't help but think that she wanted to make the character upbeat and optimistic instead of dark and gritty and was shot down. Too bad.... from her work on Breaking Bad alone I would have been interested in seeing this but now I will wait for cable just like the rest of the DC movies.
 
Ka-El the Mighty
Flies through the countryside
He never needs a place to hide
With Dianna as his sidekick
Fighting with her little whip
Righting wrongs and singing songs
Being mighty all day long
He's Ka-El —he's Ka-El the Mighty!

Oohhhhhh—

He's Ka-El the Mighty
He's really tidy
Everybody likes him
'Cause he has a funny grin
Ka-El —
Ka-El the Mighty!

Ka-El the Mighty
He's very tidy
Everyone admires him
He's so handsome it's a sin
When you're in jeopardy
Don't call the cavalry
There's a better remedy
And he always works for free
He's every man's trusty,
He's every woman's fantasy,
Plus he's goo-oood company
Ka-El the Mighty!
 
The first trailer for Necksnapper McMurderson vs. Broody McDeadparents got leaked. And boy, if you guys didn't get enough of the Christ parallels in Man of Steel, are you in for a treat because it's even WORSE if the trailer is any indication.
 
Holy shit it looks terrible. Did you think BatBale's gravelly voice was stupid? Well, now make it synthesized and an octave lower!

There was nothing good in that teaser trailer. It honestly looks like a worse superhero movie than Ang Lee's Hulk.

I'm not over-whelmed by the trailer. It could be because most of it was camouflaged in various shades of brown and grey, a la Zack Snyder's usual color palette.

I probably shouldn't judge the quality of the movie based on a crappy trailer, but I really dislike overly dark films where you can't see what's going on. Oh well. I really like Bats, but I am not broken up by this. DC needs to make a deal with Marvel studios (yeah right).

Omg I did not get that you were talking about Batman and Superman. I was like I don't recognize those characters...maybe they are from the Jonah Hex timeline...


I sit in the box and I feel shame.
 
The end dialogue shouldn't even have belonged to Batman. It sounded more like something Lobo would say: "Can you bleed? Well, you're about to!" is right in line with a parody of grimdark 90's anti-heroes.

It's like someone at WB/DC said, "You know, Marvel's really captured the popular imagination and made all of the fucking money with their colorful, positive, slightly snarky but overall optimistic superheroes, who are all about saving the little guy. Let's do the complete and total opposite."

But clearly you and billions of others are wrong about MCU movies, according to the self-appointed cinema experts.

Oh good. I wasn't the only one who thought that sounded very un-Batman-like.
Maybe Frank Miller Batman, but then it would have been followed by "whores whores whores whores whores".

I just saw this.

Nope, I'll wait for home video for this one. Unless people come around telling me it's the second coming of christ.

Both Batman and Superman look like assholes.
