Future of DC Films (DCEU)

[Alatar]

As for the score for the mid credits scene:

Spoiler

What it borrows from the Williams score is barely recognizable, or won’t be for most people. From what I could make out it borrows part of a motif from the Williams score, but not the main part that is rousing, jubilant, triumphant, etc. And it’s played slow and in the plaintive style of Zimmer’s softer, more tender theme. Then Zimmer’s “Arcade” is played for the remainder of the credits (or so I’ve read for the latter).

Edit: Thinking on it more, it’s unlikely that Arcade is played for the remainder of the credits. Some folks that saw the premiere have said that. But to use a whole song from another film when they hired a composer to write an original score for this movie? So nah. It probably just sounds a lot like Arcade.

Also, I’m sure that for many showings there will be so much cheering going on that no one will be able to hear it!

I decided to take a chance on BA and will go see it opening day. With very mixed feelings!

I don’t care for the Rock, and I’m not hyped about the BA character. I worry that the Rock is power grabbing for substantial control of the franchise—and if he gets it he might end up making the DCEU into MCU-lite. But sitting this movie out will not really have any meaningful effect to prevent any of the things I fear. There’s at least a fair chance…?… that Johnson is actually is a big Snyder fan, as some have reported (to be taken with a massive grain of salt obviously). He has said that he doesn’t want to mimic the MCU and he wants a vibe for the DCEU that it sounds like is in line with what Snyder did to get the ball rolling. Maybe the Rock feels that his larger than life personality and charisma can sell it?

Anyway, I’m just going to hope that things go the direction I’m hoping for. And if the Rock supports what I want then this film needs to do well for me to get it.

Yes, I see all this selfishly!

Do you mean Superman isn’t as popular outside of the US?

People tend not to scream and cheer at the cinema outside of the US...well in the UK at least There was one woman who constantly clapped the whole way through Saw one time though

Haha, ah, right. I dunno though depends on where. On our side of the pond in Latin America I think crowds can get pretty rowdy same as the North.

Interesting... in Colombia people are pretty much quiet.

I feel like people are only really like that at midnight showings and what not. I've never had people like that in just regular showings

 

[Hoody999]

Yep, like I mentioned somewhere else. I really hope Emmerich is watching this somewhere in his mums basement.

Really hope Black Adam makes a huge amount at the box-office to show those ******* Emmerich and Co what they missed out on with their huge ego's and thinking they knew better than the fans + customers !!

Not only Superman but the whole DC universe was always less popular here in Sweden when compared to Marvel. When I grew up in the 70's and 80's everyone was a fan of Spiderman and The Hulk and later on The X-men. It wasn't until Miller's Batman era that things started to change slightly. Cavill is the most popular Superman to date though as is Snyders overall take on the character.

Last time the crowd went wild at a movie I went to was Endgame

 

[Hoody999]

Well I've booked my ticket to see on opening night on Wednesday.

Got to show my support whether I am risking the Rock taking over the DCEU direction or not.

Either way I guess it's better than what we were going to get before Discovery came along.

Can't wait !!

Very true. At least they made an effort to bring Cavill back.

The Rock has clarified that when he said that “this was a new era for DCEU” he didn’t mean it was all about him and his needs to control everything he really meant it was about listening to the fans and giving what they want….ie; Cavill.

Sureeeeeeee it was lol

He's been saying this for over two years before any merger was announced so it certainly didn't mean Superman at first.

I'd love to know how much The Rock get's $$$ from his part ownership of 2 Bucks by getting Cavill newly signed for multiple movies ??

In the end it's all about money........he says it's for the fans, but he also needs them "to show him the money" !!!

But at least he knows how the game works, Emmerich didn't even get to first base.....

Wonder if they'll care about bringing Batfleck back as well or if he'll do it even.

That story has changed so many times. He's in, he's out, he never wants to do it again, he's loving shooting the flash etc...

Maybe having a renewed focus in the DCEU could keep him around.

Personally I don't care about Pattinson or Keaton. I just want Affleck back as Batman.
