It's pretty clear that Cyborg in the JL would appeal to the younger, Millennial crowd. Because, he's always connect to the internet, yo. Boo-yah!

Too bad the character itself is just boring. :lol
 
Agreed. Didio, Lee and Johns really screwed the pooch with that nonsense.

Martian Manhunter >>>>>>>> Cyborg. And it's not even close.

Didio has done lots of bad things. But Geoff is doing worse to the Green Lantern line, so at least he's got some competition. :lol

As for Martian Manhunter, he's constantly getting the shaft and I really don't like it. He's got a great backstory, a striking design, a unique "voice" and he's shafted just cause.

Agreed. He's shafted because the 3 before-mentioned yokels running the show at DC don't care for him.

He will be DC's Desdpool, some wise mouth always cracking jokes against the serious characters.

WB showers in money. :lol

Cyclops called, said for Martian Manhunter to stop his whining.
 
Watch Cyborg be the break out character. :lol

It could be the case, especially if they make him a handsome, laid-back but visibly emotionally scarred hunk. The Tumblr crowd will eat it up faster than Spider-Gwen...

Ugh, that gets very boring, very fast. He mentions that every.damn.time. Almost everything I've read of him Post-Nu52 is him just being a **** to people.

"Hey, have you heard that song?"

"I've heard every song, I'm always connected to the net!"

Dude got a sweet techno-like skin and he's still brooding. Oh, and he's connected to the net, like, always, in case you forgot...
 
I'm not the biggest Mr. Terrific fan because he suffers from the "too smart", as I like to call it, syndrome. Making your character a super-genius is fine, but they took it to whole new levels with him. Blue Marvel was a super-genius, but he studied like a normal smart person. He skipped a few classes and got his doctorate earlier. Same goes for Richards, Stark and the like. But with Terrific, they went above and beyond and gave him 14 doctorates at age 15 or so, which is just absurd. There's a difference between fiction and complete fantasy. Even if he was that smart that he could memorize everything just by looking at it, he was just a normal kid and each day still had 24 hours. He couldn't possibly fit all of his studying in such a small timeframe.

Anyway, if you drop that and make it more believable, say 5 or 6 doctorates at 5 or so, I'm game for it. He's got an interesting backstory/premise (with Fair Play and the like) and kick-*** costume, so I'd be down for such a film. But yeah, Stewart or Holt would've been much better choices.
Super smart and has pretty nifty powers as a result, Olympic-level athlete, has a major trauma inflicted on him as an adult, is keeping an interesting legacy going, and is atheist, this is fertile ground for a very cool movie.

It just goes to show that none of the Big 2 is innocent when it comes to "PC" or the "moolah".

I'm pretty sure that no one outside of virgin losers have even heard of him though. Or something.

Yeah, well, Cyclops has this to get back home to...

And Martian Manhunter has... Oreos, I guess...

He's basically a more altruistic, less cynical version of Ozymandias.

Edit: Also, less white. :lol

Eh, there's adifference between super-smart and "beyond the levels of human comprehension"-smart. You could classify him as a more advanced species at this point. Just tone down his academia stuff a bit, because it literally makes no sense, and this is coming from a guy who loves Blue Marvel, who's a mix between Richards and Superman. Keep everything else, but change the doctorate thing. Everything else, especially the Fair Play stuff need to remain the same. Arrow's Holt is quite fine IMO, apart from being overly cheerful. He's a genius, but not an "alien". When even the guy from the most advanced nation in the world doesn't have as many doctorates as you at 15, you know there's a problem with the writting.

As for the atheist thing, eh, it's overplayed at this point. Pretty much every super-genius character is an atheist, be it comics, movies, or whatever. Not that there's a problem with that, but it's not new or a defining characteristic, as it's pretty common in such characters.

The way the current Cyborg is written there is no way he listens to anything other than Hip-Hop. :lol

Nah, Metal is all the rage nowadays, and he is hanging out with the Metal Men so... He's a post-progressive metalcore fan who ocassionaly dabbles in horrorcore. Boom, here's your new headcanon!
 
On the fight: In TDKR Batman is considerably older and can't really be as hands-on as Affleck's Batman who's old, yes, but he's in his mid 40s or so, whereas TDKR Bruce was in his 60s IIRC. Plus, that Batman and Superman had a history, same with Green Arrow. It was supposed to be more than a fight, kinda like a clash of these 2 old friends who drifted apart due to ideological differences.

On Joker: It's meant to be ambiguous, kinda like the Mutant's "death" (ala the burning scene in BvS). Apparently, Joker, seeing as this is the "end", twists his own neck to frame Batman. But, if you look at it from another POV, it's as if Batman finally snapped and killed him, but he doesn't want to accept that, so he "imagines" Joker "killing" himself. In sumary, it's up to you.


If I remember correctly (it's been quite awhile since I read TDKR), in that scene Bats begins to break Jokers neck and twists it until the last possible instance and pulls back at the last second. So, just before he can kill him, Bruce can't go through with it and stops. However, his actions cause the Joker to be paralyzed from the neck down. So, the Joker in his last defiant act starts to laugh and finishes twisting his own neck and killing himself in the process while laughing away. At least that's the way I took it. No way a character like the Joker could stand to be locked away paralyzed in Arkham while the Bat is running around in the world. So, by making it look like Bats snapped his neck he frames him as a murderer and gets to die with the warm thought that Bats may end his days locked up in the Asylum himself.

Surely they'd give Batman a pass on killing the Joker though, I mean, really....
 
He will be resurrected as the best Superman ever!

Hey, Lego Superman is getting a Live-Action flick. Cool!

That was my take on it as well.
