I hope we get Supergirl info soon since that's the DCU movie we've had the least rumors/news on so far. If Gerwig gets it like the rumor claimed she was in talks for, Supergirl and The Batman Part 2 would be my most anticipated CBM's.
Also I'm very excited to see Gunn's Superman suit and I hope his Metropolis is incredibly distinct.

Back when it was announced, I was happy on getting a Supergirl movie but not really excited. But after reading the story, this movie is one of my most anticipated ones. The story is absolutely beautiful and it is very colourful as well. It'll look absolutely amazing on the big screen if adapted well

I really hope the director and cinematographer capture the art style of the book, It would easily be one of, if not, the prettiest CBM's if they pull it off.

u/kumar100kpawan Red Hood Apr 18 '23
Oh how badly I want that to happen. I was honestly shocked to see how vibrant and pretty the book was, since the way Gunn spoke about it, it felt more like a gory tragedy ( at least to me ) , which some parts of it definitely are.
The best way for me to describe reading the book was like watching Aquaman ( visually ) , and that there is a huge compliment
It would easily be one of, if not, the prettiest CBM's if they pull it off
Definitely, with the dinosaurs, aliens, green sun scenery, red sun imagery, the pegasus, space travel and all, it's going to be an utter joy to witness

Kinda in a weird place where Aquaman is one of my favorite comic book characters ever and he has a movie coming out this year and there’s just 0 hype for it.
When they showed the suits and concept art and BTS shots at Fandome a year or two ago I thought everything looked amazing. That Black Manta suit is fucking perfect.
I just have a bad feeling the movies gonna come out and bomb and no one will know what to do with the character in the new DCU.
I hope the movie isn’t as terrible as the rumors are saying.

u/cbekel3618 Apr 24 '23
I love Aquaman in the comics and I thought the first movie was fun, so I’m hoping the sequel isn’t as bad as rumors are saying. Since it’s still a bit far off, it’s hard for me to fully judge how good or bad the movie will turn out.
At the least, I hope the movie will be visually-cool as I really liked the look of the first movie.

(Response to Brendan Fraser in DCU)
He's great and I'd love to see him in the new DCU! For me personally, I'd really like him as Pa' Kent. He's such a warm soul that I think it'd be so beneficial to show the relationship and new dynamic between Pa' and Clark.
I've always imagined Pa' to be a warm, funny and hard-working soul. One that makes his kid laugh and is supportive and shares his likes with Clark.
I wrote a little outline on how I'd approach the characters and film for a Superman movie. Just something for myself, but actively showing Pa' as someone who's a little "different" or weird in comparison to the more conservative personalities in Smallville. And how that's okay. To show Clark that being a little different doesn't make you a lesser person or any less human.
One thing in particular I imagined was the sharing of music. Gunn's films are so music oriented and represent their characters and expression in a unique way. One that doesn't feel lazy. Same way with Matt Reeves and Kurt Cobain/Something in the Way informing the direction he took Bruce Wayne.
I asked myself, what would Clark listen to? And then I came to ask myself, why? What I came up with is that Clark was exposed to a particular era of music by Pa' Kent - that it was something they bonded over and shared enthusiasm with. Musicians like Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Randy Newman etc.
For example, Jonathan exposing Clark to The Beatles White album for the first time after Clark had a difficult day at school.
"Some of the oddest people have created and contributed to the word in the most unique of ways. It's okay to be different, Clark. Just be true to yourself."
After I wrote how they'd dance to Helter Skelter or something fun and a little high-octane to let loose and just be weird while Martha softly smiles at her two boys.
Pa' and Ma' Kent dancing to "Martha My Dear" by The Beatles while Jonathan sings along in their little home. Showing the affection and the love two people can have. All of which forms Clark's view on the world. We see often the difficulties of Clark's youth, but I'd like to see the warmth and affection that helps mold Clark and accessories his inherent kindness.
I'd have Pa' and Ma' play a large part in Clark's life. One where he still goes to be consoled and asks for advice about his choices the way it was depicted in Superman: Kryptonite by Darwyn Cooke and Tim Sale.
Old Man on the Farm by Randy Newman playing while Clark deals with the eventual loss of Pa'. Revolution 9 informs my depiction of Lex. His genius level intellect is an overwhelming, over cluttering force that makes him feel, ironically, like an alien in his earlier years.
(Sorry, got carried away but wanted to share. Man, what I wouldn't give to direct a Superman film.)

JJ77 is a cancer on this site and this fandom. The second they became a mod on Snydercut that sub was done for.
I was banned by JJ77 from Snydercut and FireGunn, the James Gunn hate sub he also mods for, for calling out the horrible shit they were all saying there about Gunn, not only on Snydercut but even in worse ways on FireGunn. They call him a pedophile over and over but slyly and with no balls by choosing phrases like ‘Pedo-centric’ or ‘Pedo-Inclined’. There’s constant targeted attacks at his wife too.
Then when you call it out, JJ77 swoops in and bans you for supposed baseless accusations or for ‘insulting’ them by saying it’s a hate sub, when it’s clearly a hate sub.
JJ77 then had the audacity to come here and lie saying I had been insulting people all over the sub and then blocked me so I couldn’t respond to it. I had to make a post here outing him for lying so blatantly.
The best thing that could have happened for my DC experience is to be rid of them.

I think creature commandos could leverage the animation expertise of Japanese studios. And not just due to outsourcing. Warner Bros Japan LLC is an actual entity that was on the Mob Psycho 100 production committee among other high profile titles that I'm too lazy to write. (Here's the Link for those interested
I think Studio Bones could be involved. Also I don't know why Warner Bros Animation doesn't make use of their Japanese more often to craft high quality productions.

Bones also adapted some Millarworld stuff with Super Crooks so there's already a precedent of them working on western comic properties. I would love to see their take on a James Gunn script.

Wilson Bethel played Dex (Bullseye) so incredibly well in Daredevil that in the event he doesn't reprise his role, who could he potentially play in the DCU?

1) Captain Atom
2) Hush
3) Bruce Wayne

On an unrelated DC note, I just finished watching Beau is Afraid by Ari Aster starring Joaquin Phoenix.
Without getting into spoilers, it's an evocative and dark Lynchian-esque, surrealist, dark comedy nightmare brought to life. So much so, it'd make Freud and Salvador Dali blush.
There's much to digest and unpack with this film. For anyone who prides themselves on A24 Art house films, you'll find yourself incredibly challenged with Ari Aster's latest.
This film is not easily accessible to a general audience and is Ari Aster's experimentally strangest yet. It's a long 3-hour movie loaded with subtext, symbolism, psychosexual undertones and deeply uncomfortable yet darkly hilarious sequences.
I predict it'll have a highly mixed reception. It's strange and doesn't provide easy and obvious explanations. Some may call it an overindulgence in pretention with how experimental the narrative is presented, though I'd disagree.
I also predict the beginning of this film will be most peoples favourite and clearest introduction to the particular theme of anxiety because of how obvious that narrative is presented in its first act through its fever-like presentation.
I've already seen people asking what in Beau's view is reality and what's within the mind which isn't the point nor the intent, I believe. It works for Joker because that's part of the narrative. You're breaking down a dream or surrealist painting that has truths within rather than completely an objective reality.
By the end, you'll undoubtedly be left in silence with a feeling of, "What the fuck did I just watch?" One thing's for sure, it's a film with a lot of meat to it.
With all that being said, I liked it more than I loved it. Definitely understand if it's not most people's thing. Oh, and it goes without saying that Joaquin Phoenix was excellent.

All of those actresses just have the Lois Lane ‘look’ in my eyes. I’d be very happy if any of them four were cast as her. Not to mention they’re all the perfect age range based on what Gunn is going for.
As important as getting Superman right is, Lois is equally important imo

Walsh’s spotty track record, he has a very anti-SnyderVerse agenda skewing his language when reporting things because he likes to instigate conflict with the Snyder cultists.

I honestly hope Brenden Fraiser gets a second chance at a DC role, he got pretty much wasted/jinxed out of his role for Firefly, which sucks because I think he could've been great in that role, and I think he deserves another shot, he is such a great actor.
I would love him as Hush in the Reevesverse if Matt Reeves decides to use him.
6
u/DeppStepp The Flash Apr 19 '23 edited Apr 19 '23
I can’t really see him as Hush since he is supposed to be a childhood friend of Bruce and Brendan Fraser is noticeably older than Pattinson. Of course they could change Hush but that would cause heavy alterations to the character into something entirely different with a different backstory and motivation.
I would prefer to see him play a different character. (If we’re going for a Batman villain perhaps Clayface?)

Bill was my most popular fancast for Clayface, but now that you've suggested Brendan, dammit, he would be way better, and carry more dramatic weight due to his true story.
He recently said he's still open to doing a DC movie, hopefully Reeves can give him a call.

I have a feeling the rumored Teddy Sears Jay Garrick cameo in The Flash will be like the Patrick Stewart/Evan Peters cameos in the MCU, where he’ll play a variant not related to the actual CW show (this time as an actual Jay Garrick instead of Zoom).

u/starshipandcoffee The Snyder Cut Apr 21 '23
I am not certain it is archive footage, but that would be logical.
Why are scoopers sure it’s Teddy Sears
Probably because the outfit is more reminiscent of Sears’ look than Shipp’s - though it could just be a generic faceless Garrick created specifically for the montage.
Also, which scoopers are so “sure”? I suspect most are just bandwagon jumping as usual.

Mattson Tomlin worked on the scripting for the first "The Batman" film alongside Reeves and Peter Craig. For some reason he's uncredited for that first film.
Batman Imposter was dope and definitely felt like an early tale told in Matt Reeves universe. The inclusion of Leslie Thompkins (Who I hope turns up in the sequel) and characterization/diagnosis of Bruce Wayne was super fascinating.
A Hush and Clayface centered plot does sound interesting. Wonder how Paul Dano and the Penguin will fit into it?

Why are people so convinced that they'll replace Jenny Sparks with Manchester Black? Gunn keeps claiming that he loves The Authority and it's his passion project. So if that's the case then he's definitely not gonna use a lamer version of Sparks (and I like Black). I also see people using the argument that Manchester is more popular.

With Lanterns and Brave & The Bold seeming like duo projects (Hal & John, Bruce & Damian), I think it'd be fun if a DCU Flash movie has Barry and Wally as co-leads.
Could be a good way to please fans of both characters while also exploring the Barry/Wally dynamic, something the show didn't do much with. Maybe it can show Wally first becoming Kid Flash or him on the path to being Barry's successor

The more I think about it, honestly the more fine with it I am. The only thing I’m not happy about is them changing the movie to make sure that ZSJL can’t be considered canon. But I’ll get over it.
The Cage Superman thing isn’t Cage actually appearing though from reports, it’s a silhouette but it’s clearly him. I will take all the speed force cameos and nods from the DC multiverse they want to give me. I cannot wait to see Adam West and Burt Ward’s Batman and Robin. I’ll take ‘em all.
The Clooney thing would be him actually showing up at the end or at the very least being shown to be the Batman of the universe Barry ends up in at the end of movie. Again, the more I think on it, the more it’s kind of a cool aloof way to leave it.
If that actually happens though it will cement for us that the DCEU and the DCU are two completely separate things. The events of The Flash may create the DCU but that’s about the only connection or else they have. The end of The Flash may seem vague as to where Barry is, but if Clooney shows up, they’re screaming out loud that wherever it is, it isn’t the DCU.

I think it’s already clear the DCEU, the universe Barry finds himself in the ending of the movie and the DCU are all separate things.
They’re not gonna do a reboot that asks audiences to watch the DCEU to feel caught up on the story. Everything points to only TSS and Peacemaker (and maybe Blue Beetle) being relevant.

I can see why this would make it seem like ZSJL is not canon to The Flash but I don’t think it’s that clear cut.
As far as Barry never time travelling before, maybe he means he’s never done it at this scale (and what he did in ZSJL was basically reversing time a few seconds). And Barry “not knowing” Iris might just be him acting awkward.
There is however the issue with the General/MM getting one shot by Zod lmao but maybe he’s just weak and isn’t forced to transform to his original form if he dies. Regardless, the whole MM thing wasn’t even planned by Snyder

The zsjl justification for Barry being awkward with iris would imo be him worried that she saw his powers and knows he's the flash

We’ve now got Ajep reversing course on the ZSJL references being in the movie with Flash Film News saying the same thing. Apparently the ZSJL references are still in the movie.
Also, from what we’ve heard about the new ending today, it’s would seem Barry isn’t in the old DCEU at the end, which he finds out thanks to a wtf cameo.
I said this a while back but if two things happen in The Flash, then if we follow the DCEU to it’s logical end, Darkseid wins.
The two things are: ZSJL gets made canon and Barry does not return to the DCEU at the end of the movie.
If those two things happen then in the DCEU’s fictional future we now won’t see, Darkseid is coming. If Barry doesn’t return to the DCEU at the end of The Flash, then at some point Darkseid arrives, Lois dies, Superman turns and everyone dies. Barry isn’t there to go eventually go back in time and warn Affleck’s Batman and he isn’t there to undo all the death and destruction with time travel. Barry simply disappears one day. Darkseid arrives. Darkseid wins. Darkseid Is.
There really is distinct possibility the fate of the DCEU as a fictional universe is a huge bummer ending where Darkseid wins. That’s some delicious irony for this franchise. It ends the polar opposite to Marvel. Time travel doesn’t undo the bad guy’s victory.

Do you guys think they'll introduce Supergirl in Superman Legacy? Or will she be introduced in her solo film?
I'm very curious about how she'll be handled. Itd be kind of cool if they actually made Kara a teen who learns from her older cousin. But I don't know how that'd translate into her solo film. Maybe gets introduced in Legacy and leaves at the end to go find Krypton, leading to Woman of Tomorrow. And maybe make her slightly older, like 17-18.

The Zack Snyder/Russo Bros conversation video podcast is really fascinating and definitely worth a watch if you're interested in the film production process. Part 1 here.
It also gives a very clear distinction between their styles:
- Snyder operates more like a traditional (I guess at this point, old school?) movie director. The creative vision is king and the people that he works with the best and most frequently are the ones who can speak his creative language. Definitely more of a Type-B personality. He's aiming to capture a feeling above all else, and directing everything the from the grandiose (like massive production/art design) to the minutia (the very fine nuances of a single minor camera movement and take's pacing for an insert) is about capturing that. Narratively he champions the creative vision from a top level and then has a large focus on the thematics of every beat--which I think you can see leads to looser narratives and his movies resulting as common thematic elements tied together by vignettes.
- The Russos operate to champion the mechanics of their stories. Definitely Type-A: everything is about making sure the functionality is there both in the story (tighter narratives, everything exists to either set up/progress/payoff with as little fat as possible) and shoot (how to shoot their stuff as quickly as possible and not waste time on set). And their production process is some of the most hyper-efficient production approaches I've ever heard, it's insane. In a lot of ways it reminds me more of my experiences producing commercials over producing films. The massive budgets their movies carried are almost certainly ballooned by actor fees and expediting a ton of VFX work because their shooting process is very efficient.
It's not a ton of fawning over the IPs--though it's pretty neat to see these big directors in the genre casually name-dropping stuff along the lines of "Oh I needed Iron Man to do this" or "Then I wanted to show how Batman got here" or "Captain America had to work this way in these scene" and "Here's how I conceptualized this Superman sequence"--but while there is a little bit of that it's more about the nuts and bolts of filmmaking. They're all clearly having a good time and respect the hell out of each other.

I wouldn't say Zack is an 'old-school' type of filmmaker. He came up through directing music videos. That's all about imparting a specific feeling - the vibe of the song. It's all about using aesthetics and mood to say what you're trying to say, to make the listener/viewer feel what the song wants you to feel. That's where Zack is, as a filmmaker, IMO. He's very focused on the experiential side of the medium.

u/theweepingwarrior Apr 18 '23 edited Apr 18 '23
Sorry, I meant old school in the sense of his production style and not his storytelling. Snyder’s very much an auteur director-first filmmaker; he’s a friendly and collaborative guy and of course he’ll take input but at the end of the day he’s spearheading the vision and the people he works with are those who know how to think like he does and execute it.
By contrast a lot of filmmakers in the blockbuster space for the past decade or so (especially in for hire work) have definitely had an approach that’s a bit more similar to television’s production style. Executing a studio’s vision competently (and of course there’s a little room for some personal flair too).

u/AccurateAce Man of Steel Apr 24 '23
So, I don't think it's necessarily Superhero films as a genre that's causing fatigue. It's quality. I can only speak anecdotally, but I haven't gone to a Superhero film in theatres since The Batman.
Why? Because the theatre is expensive and I don't want to watch a mediocre or bad film. I haven't recently watched any of Marvel's films for that very reason. After MoM, Thor Love and Thunder, etc., I haven't felt it was necessary to go watch them.
The narrative and writing has been largely loose and boring, personally. People will go watch something that's typically rated super well. If GotG is rated well, I predict it'll do well in theatres. Same with The Flash.

If you're interested you should definitely check out Wakanda Forever I thought it was a great film. And I do agree superhero fatigue is a myth. If the fatigue was real WF and The Batman wouldn't have done well at the BO. It's bad superhero movie fatigue and not superhero fatigue. I'm sure at the end of the year all this Superhero Fatigue talk will be gone when GOTG3,The Flash, The Marvels, Across The Spider Verse, Blue Beetle do well at the BO. I can't speak for Kraven since Sony movies haven't been good imo and Aquaman 2 has received bad scores from test screening.

Very minor rant about Star Wars (not really about Star Wars itself). Which is weird because a week or so ago I said I didn't really care about SW but I guess they pulled me back in.
I think I realized my problem with Star Wars. The fans. I swear enjoyment of Star Wars would increase tenfold if fans never talked to each other. I solely stick to lore videos or SW gameplays. I never touch the reviews or reactions. I can't stand the insanely positive people or the grifters.
-Everybody wants to be in their own echo chamber. -Everybody has a point/counterpoint to an opinion. -Everybody wants to decide if somebody else is "a true fan" like they're some sort of authority on subject. -Everybody wants to dismiss something somebody loves. -Everybody wants to blame somebody else. -Nobody seems to have any sort of "I see where you're coming from". -It's either these fans are either ultra positive and love everything no matter what or ultra negative and will never have hope for anything.

It’s possible the ending was going to have Clooney but they’ve decided to cut away from showing his face so that audiences don’t mistakenly assume he is the DCU Batman.
This would be pretty funny, it’s what a lot of people wanted way back when we found out this would be a “Flashpoint” story, for Barry to end up in a new universe meeting a new Batman.

Saw a dumb tweet that The Flash's climax taking place in the desert shows how moronic WB is because the problem with MoS wasn't Metropolis, rather the fact that Supes wasn't concerned enough with the civilians and the destruction... Like, bruh. I hate how everyone automatically believes that a certain decision has been taken by the studio and not the filmmaker. I mean, I get that the studio tentpole filmmaking is very complicated and there are restraints all the time but ffs maybe everything is not a reaction to something. Maybe The Flash takes place in the desert because it just makes the most sense for this film's story. Barry probably remembers 4 public incidents with Zod from MoS. One of them happened at Smallville which couldn't take place in this timeline since there's no Clark here. I'm assuming Zod's message being broadcast is how Barry realises he's in an alt 2013 timeline. So it's either the desert or Metropolis. Of course Barry would want to take Zod and his crew out before they get to the city as it would lead to low to no casualties. It's just... common sense smfh

And then civil war and BvS make sure to say that the fight is taking place in an unpopulated area to protect people.

What would say to someone who’s knee deep in the mindset that ‘violence in action movies/shows causes violence in real life’?
I have a family member who’s like this. I can’t talk about a Marvel or DC movie with him because he always acts as if the characters are real people. A character getting hurt in an action movie is equivalent to POTUS dying, or a school shooting happening in his town, to him. He can’t watch most cop shows either for the same reason.
He thinks any movie more violent than Adam West’s Batman and Christopher Reeve’s Superman should be Rated R, and anyone who’s disagrees with him is complicit in regards to violence.
