mentioned in the other thread, but Flash 2016 and Justice League 2017 were paired with this in the rumors.
What about Wonder Woman?
I want to get fucking psyched over this because it could be amazing but Man of Steel inspires very little confidence in me. I'm curious as to who's going to play Batman, they're going to have to start casting pretty soon if the movie's coming out in two years.
Batman vs Superman:
"What's that in your hand, Clark?"
"Your heart."
*credits*
Fuck Snyder.
nah, Snyder can stay, Goyer on the other hand...
nah, Snyder can stay, Goyer on the other hand...
yeah, or either/or to find a balance. That's what makes the Flash movie strange and interesting. I imagine a Flash movie being a comedy, only now it'd have to fit with the overall 'vision' of those two.
the only casting rumor that's been going around is (don't know if people care about these types of spoilers but just in case)Nothing about Batman. Years ago the white guy playing a white guy in Lone Ranger was going to be Batman in Justice League, but after Lone Ranger, probably won't be considered.spoiler (click to show/hide)Denzel Washington for Lex Luthor. I'd be all for that.[close]
Fuck Snyder.
Such a hack.
Snyder gave you guys a Supes vs Faora battle and Supes vs Zod battle that wiped the floor with any superhero fights ever put to film, and this only seven years after Bryan Singer had left the Superman film series for dead. Show a little appreciation.
I thought they will be fighting alongside not against each other. Supes should kill Bat in first 3 seconds, this is stupid.
Superman's a pussy, though.Not like Batman is any less of a pussy.

Not true. Batman is a ninja. Superman is some pussy from Kansas.
Modern Batman and Superman is basically the same pussy in different tights. As many badass threads as Batman has made he never has to follow through with them, never. The last time he actually wrecked someones shit is when he had a gun and killed people.Superman's a pussy, though.
Not like Batman is any less of a pussy.

Why cant I just get a Punisher movie starring Jonah Hill called Big PunNow here is a non pussy.
I really have trouble taking people seriously when they suggest Batman can beat Superman, easily or not. It would go like this: Round one, f- oh, look, Batman's in the fucking sun. There is no other way that fight ends.
You're exactly right about the plot of the movie, though.
Momo is a weeaboo. You're not a badass in his book unless you say something along the lines of "I can never forgive you :uguu"(http://i.imgur.com/cHMPfQY.jpg)
Yeah, uh, this seems silly. Why not make a co-op movie where they work together and Batman does the investigation and sleuth stuff to track down the criminal and then Superman punches him really hard. Who wants a Mortal Kombat style versus movie of Superheroes fighting each other? That was the dumbest part of the Avengers and it just comes across as fanboys wanting to have their VEGATA VS. NEO fights.
Powerful guys are often lame, I agree, but I guess I just don't see what's wrong with keeping characters in their own power scale for stories. I'm okay with Batman stories where he's just detectiving it up, taking out guys the police can't handle. I don't need to see him punching Darkseid and saving Earf.
That wasn't the writers, Himu-chan. That was an executive wondering why DC's team had all their most popular heroes but Marvel's team was missing their big two.
I'm actually legit thankful Wolverine and Spider-Man can't be a part of the film Avengers. Aside from the little cheat of keeping Hulk around, the film Avengers are all core Avengers, and it's been nice to see them succeed when most people thought they couldn't.
I hate that Spider-Man is in the Avengers. Spider-man is a street super hero. That's why he's popular. He shouldn't be involved with the fucking Avengers. Wolverine either. Wolverine is a loner, why the fuck is he with The Avengers, the X-Men and all those other groups? I don't get it. Fuck. It's stuff like that makes me not following the comics as much as I like to, because I have so many different interpretations of the superheroes that the fanboy writers don't.Is it really fanboyish to make Wolvie a part of team since he's been part of time for most of his history?

The Iron Man vs Thor fight was probably my favorite part of The Avengers.A bullshit fight because Thor should squash IM like a bug

By the way, anyone else think it's funny how Wolverine's character development has pretty much exactly mirrored the Fonz's?
Character power levels were clearly tweaked for the purpose of making a better film. And doing so indisputably made for a better film.we might as well be having Batman running around fist fighting Superman to death then
It is not, Thor is many, many times stronger than IM and Superman isnt nearly as broken today as he was 50 years ago.Character power levels were clearly tweaked for the purpose of making a better film. And doing so indisputably made for a better film.we might as well be having Batman running around fist fighting Superman to death then
This is a ridiculous comparison and you know it.
Nobody wants to see that kind of Thor in a movie, Momo. Literally nobody except maybe the most hardcore comic stans.Oh, it would be a shitty Green Ranger candle-esq movie indeed. The point i was faffing around is, people who accept that kind of stuff really have no business criticizing Batman vs Superman, you guys are the folk who enable stuff like this. For the record I think both (physical) fights are bullshit
Just saying, Oscar.
Batman's "beaten" Superman more than once in stories that are considered canon by the folks who referee that sort of thing, no*? So the question's already answered, unless there's a real Superman and those comics are libelous falsehoods.
*This is not a rhetorical question. I only have a vague impression of how conflict between the two has been handled.
I always thought Superman would be more appealing if he had been born really really fucking stupid. Like not an actual distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, but about as smart as drew.
i mean, he'll use his supernatural powers of boy scout preparedness to coat his fists with kryptonite dust and do the civilian bomb thing or whatever because he's so paranoid superman might thump him, but he won't just cut off the joker's hands and feet
I know what has and what hasn't happened, but I think it's okay to give my take on what happened, how it happened, and whether or not it stretches plausibility within the rules of the fiction. That alright with you?
Whatever you want to say to justify things you like I guess :larryNobody wants to see that kind of Thor in a movie, Momo.

Do you not see the vast difference between these scenarios?
In one, you'd have an unaugmented human being physically defeating a man who can fly, lift jumbo-jets, and shrug off direct hits from missiles.
In the other, you have a guy in a super-powerful robot suit whose strength is never really quantified holding his own against a guy with super-advanced alien armor and weaponry whose strength is also never really quantified.
Batman physically holding his own against Superman without the help of Kryptonite or some mechanized armor suit is stupid, because there's no conceivable way that they could be physical equals. Iron Man physically holding his own against Thor is perfectly fine in this movie-verse, because it's easy to conceive of them as being equals.
You sound like a goddamn special fellow carrying on like this.
and if we're doing Laverne & Shirley, we have to do Lenny and Squiggy and the rest of the cast of that show, since they are a part of the shared Happy Days/Laverne & Shirley Universe much like X-Men and X-factor
I didn't watch Happy Days growing up.
Of course.
I'm still waiting for that cbs Brady Bunch reboot. Hopefully it has no laugh track and is more in line with the movies.

Holy shit, Vince Vaughn is doing the new Brady Bunch series? Not sure if good or bad.
Fucking hell, the new Brady Bunch is multi-camera. GODDAMIT.
Jan is a whiny bitch, even with all the prep time and kryptonite in the world she couldn't take out Marsha.
It’s official that we are going to make another Superman movie. And you say, Zack, what is the movie about? But you don’t want me to tell you that. You want to go and see the movie. But I can say that maybe there’s a single element that will be in the film that I could… help you out with. I was thinking about how to do that. I pored through the DC Universe to look for a way to tell this thing. We’re writing the thing now, but I came across a thing I found that’ll help you understand it.
And then Harry Lennix read this line, from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns: “I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments, I want you to remember your hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you.” That’s Batman speaking to Superman from the end of Miller’s story, and that quote blew the roof off Hall H.
Snyder said “we’re not adapting this thing, but it is the thing that will help us tell that story.” So while the logo he showed on screen, pictured above, uses the bat logo design from Miller’s work, this won’t quite be a direct adaptation.
Calling Batman a thing is a good start for this movie.
I don't really care either way if a movie is serious or lighthearted so as I find it enjoyable, and as flawed as the Batman trilogy was in regards to communicating ideas about freedom and other shit, they were ultimately high quality super hero films.

I agree with your premise, I just didn't find TDKR enjoyable. Dark Knight, sure. Batman Begins, sure. TDKR just wasn't up to snuff plotwise, character-wise, and it took itself dreadfully seriously. There was no enjoyment in it for me, just watching the clock and waiting for the insufferable thing to lurch to a conclusion.
CoG: Yeah, I largely keep it to myself. I know other people dig them, and in spite of what some might think, I don't actively enjoy pissing on people's fun. I mean, except on weekends. And bank holidays.
TDKR is a success because the title ends up being about JGL's rise to become Batman! He literally rises at the end of the movie! THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
IT'S BRILLIANT.
i don't understand how anyone can put BB over TDK.
TDK > BB > TDKR easily
Oh I know, and that's fine. I know Nolantards who won't admit that Batman(1989) or Batman Returns were great movies, even though they most assuredly were and still are.
Batman Returns was terrible.
The Nolan movies are each an hour too long, and the third is still a colossal mess.
TDKR admittedly has shitty pacing; it's a large part of why I rank it last despite having probably the best action sequences in the series. And yeah, a large part of the plot is typical summer movie dumb shit (the stock market thing Oscar touched on earlier as the biggest example) but it does have a really good story arc. It's just kind of like listening to a slightly drunk person tell that story. :P

Rat Pfink a Boo Boo > BB
I just don't get how people play the "bad movie" card on Nolan's Batman flicks. First of all, they're summer movies. Second, they're super hero movies. Accepting those two things, the bar is pretty fucking low, people. In spite of that, they're pretty decent! I'm sorry if you don't leave the theater with a warm fuzzy feeling and want to go play with puppies n shit, but I left 3 times having seen Batman be a badass, and that's all I really wanted to see.
You fucking people, Jesus.
The film equivalent of the Final Fantasy 13 defence, and from CoG of all people.
There are no heroes. :fbm
Like I said, Returns is a'ight but holy shit that awful Mayor Penguin plotpoint (why did Burton take the dumbest part of '89 and expand on it? (Joker giving out money and him suddenly being completely embraced by the idiot people.))True. I mean you totally embrace Nintendo and they dont give out a cent.
just saw man of steel. very good.You've always liked abstract things though
I still can't believe WB is putting all their superheroes eggs in the Snyder/Goyer basket, what the fuck are they thinking?

Turns out, writer/artist Frank Miller noticed. According to a report by The Independent, Miller "had no idea the announcement was going to happen." But now that he knows, "he's going to be meeting up with Zack in the next few days to go over the plans for the Superman film." Now, take it with a grain of salt as the quote comes from "a source close to Miller," but it does seem likely that Snyder, a self-professed longtime fan of Miller and of Superman in general, would go to someone who so deftly told the tale of these two heroes' greatest clash. Whether the possible consultation will take on any kind of official role, or will just amount to a single lunchtime conversation, remains to be seen. The two of course worked together before - Snyder wrote and directed the big screen adaptation of 300, another comic written and drawn by Miller.
Snyder can also look a little closer to his Man of Steel team for help - Jay Oliva, who provided storyboard art for the movie and helped Snyder block out some of its major action sequences, also directed The Dark Knight Returns part 1 & 2, the two-part animated adaptation of Miller's story that came to Blu-ray and DVD in 2012. Oliva also directed Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and the upcoming Justice League: War, in addition to storyboards for most of the modern DC Animated films featuring the two heroes.
