The MSJ posted:Oscar-winning Argo writer Chris Terrio is rewriting the Movie That Has Superman & Batman & Wonder Woman In It. You know, with all the big names, and talent, and the fact that it has Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman in it, this film is doing a very impressive job of not registering on my Give-a-gently caress-ometer. Is this the wrong reaction? Should I actually have more faith in WB/DC to bring me 2 hours of entertainment for my $12? Not banking on a "good" movie, but just the ability to make me say "Yes, I would not write a letter to WB asking for my money back." Am I the issue here? Granted, we've not seen screenshot one, the final draft hasn't been written (probably) much less leaked, but all I can manage is a half hearted "meh" at the very idea.

It's because this poo poo is just being thrown together. Marvel took their sweet time planning a shared universe, and DC just wants to cram the night before finals. DC movies are never all that great even when they take their time, so it doesn't really bode well for an extremely ambitious project that isn't being given the thought it deserves.

I can just as easily say that DC's shared cinematic universe plan involved doing a team-up film to introduce the new Batman and Wonder Woman first, and then from there, they'd branch out and get their solo films. Is that the plan? Don't know, but I doubt they're in the whole "throw poo poo at the wall and see what sticks" mindset.

They wanted to reach the billion with Man Of Steel and haven't, so they're now throwing Batman and Wonder Woman in a Man Of Steel sequel.

And for all we know, Gal Gadot could have a total of 5 minutes of screen time and might not even show up in the actual WW getup.

Of course 600+ million isn't bad, but if you're a studio convinced they were hitting the billion, with a superhero movie that's sold as a Superman movie made by the Dark Knight people, it's bound to be a disappointment for them. The big deal with putting Batman in the Man Of Steel sequel is that it's simply is not a Man Of Steel sequel anymore. It didn't perform like they wanted, so instead of a Superman movie, it's now a Batman/Superman movie where Batman is played by a way bigger movie star (and one of his previous collaborators is rewriting the script)! And they're telling us two years in advance that Wonder Woman's going to be in it! She's not showing up for 5 minutes with that type of hype.

While the idea itself isn't inherently bad we suffered enough blind executive lead reactions to successful movies like "Harry Potter is a success quick find me a little magic child script, any magical child script!" that people are, probably rightfully, skeptical of the forethought involved.

So what you're saying is you know for a fact that the plan wasn't to make a Superman/Batman movie immediately following Man of Steel? And yeah, I was exaggerating about Gal Gadot's screen time. The point I was making with that is Wonder Woman's role might not be as significant. At least not for this movie.

Tentatively excited for someone to shut down Goyer's terrible screenwriting. Honestly, I think the biggest problem with Batman vs. Superman is just that everyone--regardless of how much they loved or hated the Nolan movies--now know what Batman fatigue feels like, and this feeling is what's making this entire concept look like a circus. And all the info leaks definitely feel like WB is just throwing poo poo everywhere and gauging public reactions. Joaquin Phoenix as Lex Luthor sounds like a goddamn brilliant idea, but also why are all these names getting dropped before we really even hear about auditions? Sloppy rear end executive work for DC's biggest franchises.

Sloppy rear end executive work for DC's biggest franchises. I read an article elsewhere (can't seem to find it at the moment) that said Ben Affleck had already been cast as Bruce/Batman when Snyder announced the Superman/Batman film at SDCC. Also, we did hear of an audition/casting call for Bruce's love interest for the movie and we even got names of 3 actresses that were up for the character who was described as “tall, brunette, athletic and exotic.” Ended up being Gadot as WW. Maybe Phoenix is already cast and WB/DC is just slowly leaking out the info or something. Ignite Memories posted:Ben Affleck. Probably one of the best things WB/DC could do for their shared cinematic universe, if you actually think about it.

teagone, don't get me wrong, I want to believe as much as the next guy. I'm an obsessive trinity fan (concept, not necessarily the comic) so the fact that this movie is happening at all with !!Wonder Woman!! is a huge deal to me, heck, I'm even cautiously optimistic. I love the casting so far, but I also feel like hardline DC fans already have the deck stacked against them and should just go into this whole thing with their fingers crossed.

For some reason I had it in my head that I want to see Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, the Rock, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Segal, Ben Stiller, Danny McBride in some kind of a superhero comedy. Or any comedy. I don't know why but I think it could be fun. It would be great to cast Rashida Jones as the heroine in Ant Man, or any flick.

It might, but they're announcing her 2 years in advance. The plans for Superman/Batman are thrown together because their comic-con announcement was a logo and like, the 9th castmember of Man Of Steel coming in to read a paragraph from DKR. That is the farthest you go from "we're a studio launching this big thing that was planned all along". If something big like the Affleck casting had been done, it would've been announced there.

I really enjoyed Man of Steel and was never motivated enough to see any other Superman movies. The movie was obviously at least hoping to build up a shared universe considering Luthor and Wayne Industries get some mentions in the film but I wasn't expecting them to do crossover films so early. It may end up being good, but I'd really like to see more Superman and am worried having two co-stars means less time for Clark Kent and his family and friends to be developed.
