It's crazy how inconsistent they are with accessories. The John Matrix figure is LOADED with stuff. Even if the HS didn't turn out great, it's worth getting just for all the stuff.

 

[Pro Design]

yeah really wasn't that long if you think about it! i really was pleased with mine despite the negative bs from people about it. for the price it was a great deal in my opinion.

would be cool for an updated LA version!

 

[Snake Plissken]

I wouldn't even care if they used the same sculpt for Snake, just darken the beard and hair and just give new clothes and accessories.

 

[Pro Design]

yup. wouldn't take much.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Just announced for Dallas in April

 

[Pro Design]

I could watch Pee-wee’s big adventure 1 million times and still laugh my *** off every time

 

[GeneralZodLives]

It’s still a great movie. His line will probably be insane.

 

[Shawpaw]

So apparently WB wants Michael Bay to direct Lobo...............

 

[Jameson Rook]

Just announced for Dallas in April

Fun fact: He played Penguin's dad in both Batman Returns and Gotham.

I love Reubens, but there’s a part of me that would want to be like “how does it feel knowing that Louis CK has now usurped your standing as ‘Hollywood’s most infamous masturbator?’” No, but really; that’s cool as ****. Goldblum, Reubens; you guys get some cool ****ing guests down south.

It's 2018. I have no more Michael Bay jokes to tell.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I've gotten to where I don't believe any DC film news. They can talk all the **** they want about getting this guy or that girl or making whatever film, but I'll believe it when I see it. WB has done a disservice to the license with this last round of films, and unless they get their **** together on a grand scale they're going to continue to do so.

 

[Jameson Rook]

That's not gonna happen any time soon because they're still hoping to catch up with Marvel, which is futile. DC is the master of stopgap measures, so they'll do anything to get as many people as possible in the theater seat whereas Marvel has been confident in their craft and their characters enough that their movies almost write themselves at this point.

On a side note, one of the jokes my friend said people were laughing the most at the JL screening was when Flash asked Batman what's his superpower, and he replies that he's rich, which the theater erupted with laughter with a bunch of 15 year olds going "That's so true. omg hashtag etc". That's the worst Batman joke you can tell and a testament of how DC doesn't treat their characters right. Batman's powers isn't that he's rich, is that he has almost superhuman resiliency.

 

[Underaglassbell]

Same - But it's Pretty much Hollywood in general right?

Until I see that first official trailer and a have confirmed release date, I don't believe any movie rumors or the like these days.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

That "I'm rich" line is lowest common denominator writing. It's a cheap line to bolster the naive thought of the general audience (and some fan boys) "If only I had a bunch of money, then I could be Batman." What they should have done is have that moment with a character that didn't know Batman but have Batman surrounded by League members that have already worked with him. Those characters could have gone around and given a couple genuine answers about Batman's crazy skills then have the last person give a smart *** answer (like "He's rich") to get the laugh. They did **** like that in the Justice League cartoon and it worked beautifully.

I still haven't seen JL yet, nothing about the trailers appealed to me, save WW whom is probably the only decent thing about the DC movie universe, save maybe the potential of Batfleck and Amy Adams. The latter is utterly wasted and not only shows a disconnect from the characters, but an inability to utilize exceptional/talented actors.

I didn't like the look of Flash, obviously I can't say yes or no, but nothing in the trailer pointed to him being anything special. Same for Cyborg, my god that CGI looked bad.

I'm going to wait until it comes on PRIME, that's how low my expectation was/is in terms of any DC movie (maybe not WW 2) at this time.

There you go, fixed it.

I'm waiting till it's free on cable- with that I'll only be wasting just 2 hours of my time.

Here’s a quick pic. I need to double check that it’s level and sitting at the correct angle. As soon as I play enough to get the feel of it back, I’m breaking records on this mother ****er.
