Insults are also out of reach?

Oh not for me, that extra inch helps...

Given their director woes, it sounds like it's time to bring in the Ratner! He'll do all the jobs the other guys pass on with a smile on his face.

Bring back Supes, add a healthy dose of Marvel Jokes and bam! We have Super Powers Rush Hour!

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

Dammit -- I agree.




For a brief shining moment I thought you liked it.

Millions of kids are growing up on it right now -- a movie not bogged down with stilted dialogue, cornball drama, presumed importance, and... capes.

It's as simple and clean a "chase movie" as you can get yet visually stunning.

As much as I enjoyed Fury Road, whenever I watch it I can't help but think of how even greater it'd have been had Mel played Max instead of Hardy.

And you better never forget that half inch

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

My #1 choice would be Aronofsky to redo the entire DCU. My 2nd choice would be Kathryn Bigelow. She would bring back the realism of TDK trilogy. Other than that, i don't really seeing anyone else pushing it in a new direction. I think they are stuck until its time to reboot.

Personally I have enjoyed MoS, BvS, and SS a lot. I dont have the hate for them like most do. Of course i see room for improvement, but i find them very entertaining

But I have really high hopes for Wonder Woman. The trailers look amazing to me and she is long overdue for a film. We have had a lot of Superman and Batman over the years, Wonder Woman right now is far more intriguing to me than the both of them right now. Plus comics wise, Her 52 Series and the new Rebirth Series have been incredible, so im pretty pumped for WW right now more than anything

I'm expecting Wonder Woman to be one of the worst superheroes movies of all time after those trailers.

Do you know what his plan was for Batman? Homeless Bruce Wayne raised by ex-boxer "Big Al?"

Here's a quickie but I think the script may be online with a little digging. It's been a while. Oh, and I stand corrected again - It's "Little Al."

It's possible.

Mattel pretty much gave away what the main villain looks, and it's probably going to be a big CGIfest.

No prob. It really is something. If you don't care about Batman, or about the movie version resembling the comics, I imagine it could have been an interesting "elseworlds" take.

Patty Jenkins is a strong filmmaker so I'm expecting something very inspired.

This is the woman who walked away from Thor: The Dark World weeks before pre-pro after realizing Feige was interested in making a crap movie.

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

well the movie was supposed to be extremely dark and violent and an R rated film. Frank Miller talked about it last year more blaming WB for not wanting to make an R Rated Batman. Here is Miller's quote:

"It was the first time I worked on a Batman project with somebody whose vision of Batman was darker than mine. My Batman was too nice for him. We would argue about it, and I’d say, “Batman wouldn’t do that, he wouldn’t torture anybody,” and so on. We hashed out a screenplay, and we were wonderfully compensated, but then Warner Bros. read it and said, “We don’t want to make this movie.” The executive wanted to do a Batman he could take his kids to. And this wasn’t that. It didn’t have the toys in it. The Batmobile was just a tricked-out car. And Batman turned his back on his fortune to live a street life so he could know what people were going through. He built his own Batcave in an abandoned part of the subway. And he created Batman out of whole cloth to fight crime and a corrupt police force."

I am all for a different take on it. Whether those details from BatWiki would have been in the final film, we don't know? And its more than 15 years ago, i am sure Aronofsky would have even more ideas about it.

I'ce read the details elsewhere. It sounds bad to me.

The last thing I want is a verbatim comic on the screen but I feel like all we've had is re-interpretations. I'd like to see the brilliant detective up against criminals and supernaturals alike, without copping out of his personal limits on technicalities.

But I don't expect it, and I find things to enjoy about most incarnations.

I thought Ayer was a strong director to, then SS was made, and supposedly he was pushed around and the trailer crew edited that film. How do we know that isn't happening with Wonder Woman? WB can absolutely have her locked out of the editing room, they've done it before.

Rumors are the movie is a mess, and I believe those rumors, I also found the first trailer to be one of the most bland generic trailers I've ever seen. Every line in the trailer delivered by Gal makes me cringe.

I hope I'm wrong about the movie, and I believe no matter how bad it is it's going to actually get good reviews, similarly to the Ghostbusters reboot situation.

Re: Matt Reeves Batman film

DiFabio has seen WW and said it was awesome (he even said point blank that he'd stake all of his credibility on his positive endorsement of the film.) Apparently the action is awesome and the fish out of water gags are outright hilarious. I must say that's got me really looking forward to seeing it.
