JUSTICE LEAGUE movie

[thenammagazine]

There are some things in this world that even Marky Mark can't fix. Michael Bay is one of 'em. Anyway, stop trolling or get out. There is literally nothing that is known of this film. Everything is just speculation at this point, so, for you to be saying that "it's going to suck" before anything other than a possible release date has been announced? That's trolling at its finest (or worst).

Actually, you're incorrect. There're two things we know for certain. The first is that WB is looking to have their Avengers. The second is that they aren't doing a cinematic build-up to it. Now if we look at that, and look at how WB has handled just about every DC property, I'd say it's better to error on the side of it sucking, than go full-blown fanboy with your Bic in the air, praying for a ****ing miracle.

I wonder if the Man of Steel will open with Batman's nuclear "The Bat" freeing Zod from the Phantom Zone.

Imagine if Nolan had his way. He'd toss Superman's Kryptonian origin in favor of side effects from the fallout blowing to Smallville from Gotham, to make Superman more "realistic."

That's . . . BRILLIANT!

Not really. The Dark Knight Trilogy was very good, but, at this point, the only relevance that has is to the current rumor at hand. When Man of Steel comes out, that should give us a better indication of what to expect, and, build up or not, that's not enough to be able to say something's going to "suck." This fanboy **** is ridiculous, and it's got to stop. This stuff is entertainment; it's supposed to be fun, and all of the "hate" drains the fun right out of it.

No one can enjoy anything anymore; something's gotta "suck". I'm not going "full-blown fanboy" with my "Bic" in the air, I'm being optimistic about something that I want to see succeed. This Marvel vs. DC **** is just stupid. I enjoyed The Dark knight Trilogy, I enjoyed Marvel's Phase I films, and I'll continue to enjoy both. Sure, I have my preferences, but I wouldn't wish them failure. I wasn't even serious about the Transformers thing, it was just a poke at Celtic P.

I actually don't care so much if Levitt is cast as Wayne, but Batman must be Bruce Wayne, not some lame ass movie concoction (which is what I am assuming this rumor is about). Wouldn't shock me if they did it, though, because apart from Batman WB seems to not get it very well when it comes to DC. C'mon film producers, let's make Spider-Man the Ultimates Latino guy, make Superman some kind of glob of space goo, and change Captain America into the psychotic 50s version while we're at it. Superman needs to be a dad, also Who gives a **** about the iconic characters folks have cared about in comics for 70 some odd years?

This news actually has me lessening my expectations of Superman, because my faith in them is going even further below where it was.

It'll remind me of the 90's Banderas Zorro who wasn't Don Diego.

Transformers 4 has a better chance at being decent then JL.



Transformers 4 will have Marky Mark

I wouldn't be surprised if TF4 makes more money!

Justice League is going to suck, so what does it matter?

I just read that in Arnold's voice!

Justees Leegue is going tah suck so vut does it matta?

According to JGL's people this isn't happening.

Hollywood.com

On Tuesday, rumors that Gordon-Levitt would step into the shoes of Batman in the upcoming Justice League movie picked up steam thanks to reports that Gordon-Levitt would establish his version of the character first in a cameo in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. But Hollywood.com checked in with Gordon-Levitt's reps who have refuted the rumor entirely. For now, The Dark Knight Rises actor's continued involvement in the DC Movie Universe remains a fan dream.

I thought the rumor was that he was going to be cast in the JL movie. I hadn't heard about the MOS thing. Weird that his agent would deny a non-rumor and stay silent about the actual one.

That's the story. Time will tell if it's BS.

Weird or intentional?

 

[Sachiel]

That rumor also said "we may see Gordon-Levitt in the suit earlier than [Justice League]".

IF they bring in JGL as BatRobinman it means WB has learned nothing from Marvel Studios.

Marvel has changed very little in bringing each character to the screen. In every way that matters the films are faithful adaptations that respect the source material. There's a few costume refinements but the character backstories are spot on. The Hulk probably stands out as the biggest deviation by drawing from the well known 70's TV origin rather than the comic origin, but as a kid who watched that show I was OK with it. It wasn't something they pulled out of thin air.

If WB makes a JL film without Bruce Wayne it isn't the Justice League. There are details you can play with when making the movie but this isn't one of them. Bruce is the brains and the tactician. John Blake is just a good cop who followed Gordon's footsteps more than Bruce Wayne's. He's the last scene of a story, not the first.

Wrong. It shows they actually have learned from Marvel. Using JGL brings an already established character into a Justice League film, which is exactly what Marvel did with Avengers. The audience is already invested in the character from The Dark Knight Rises so they have a built-in investment in the character if he appears in Man of Steel and again in Justice League.

I also wouldn't want a convergence of Nolan's characters & basic concepts with the planned/unplanned Justice League movie.. Nolan's characters are really grounded on reality, and to quote Nam - Bale's Wayne is "quitty"

Batman should be fighting crime forever, not quitting for a normal life.

 

[Kamandi]

One of my big problems with TDKR is Bruce quiting - twice. I don't believe he would quit over what happened to Racheal in the previous film. Any writer at DC, even the crappy ones, know such a thing would only add fuel to Bruce's obsession.

I also don't buy the notion he would quit after being trapped and powerless in the pit. But then he saves the day and gets cozzy with Selina and now he's happy.

So Bruce was sad and he quit, then he gets happy and quits again?

I sure hope Superman isn't an emo guy tormented by the responsibility of helping people with his powers.

Oh, wait...


Can we just have a clean break for JLA please?

Nope, Hawkeye and Nick Fury aren't 616 in the movies and Black Widow is barely Russian, not to mention Thor is more of an Alien than a God, there was no Hank Pym as a founding member. Marvel Studios does most things accurate, but not everything.

The best on-screen Batman weve seen so far that fit best nto a fantastical movie like JL is either Keaton or Kilmer.

Thor as a god would've been hokey. I'm glad they went the route they did. Your main problem is you seem to think things from the comics are easily copied to the big screen. While you might like to see a lot of that, for the real world outside of Nova's dreamland, it would be lame as all hell. That's not me being mean, that's me being a realist.
