Dacap posted:Geoff Johns has confirmed Joe Manginello is playing Deathstroke and he's the villain of the Affleck directed Batman I am still really hopeful about the Affleck solo film, but this is kind of meh. The clip of him from before didn't look amazing and there is nothing really terrible about Joe Manginello, but he's not an especially compelling actor. There's better villains from a story perspective as well.

My only exposure to Joe Manginello is the new PeeWee movie, so I'm just going to assume Deathstroke is really pissed at Batman for snubbing his birthday invite.

"Slade Wilson, a.k.a. Deathstroke the Terminator" is painfully 90s for a guy who debuted in 1980. Ahead of his time as always.

I just realized that a wolf man is going to be playing a character created by a Wolfman.

I like that it's a villain Batman hasn't tussled with on screen before and since Batman is literally America I'm preemptively ready to hunker down for some deep cuts on American interventionist policy and drone warfare collateral damage.

Geoff Johns is writing the Batman movie and rewrote the Wonder Woman movie with "Crisis of Conscience" collaborator Allan Heinberg, lol. The future is looking real dark and it's not because it's gritty.

I've honestly come to appreciate Goyer's style. It's very light on exposition and relies a lot on the director to step up the visual storytelling though. He's lucky his biggest scripts were done by Nolan and Snyder.

Nolan(s) wrote more of Dark Knight and even more of DKR to the point where they probably basically did all of both, and the differences show.

Deathstroke as a major character in the movies bums me out because that probably means we're unlikely to get more Manu Bennett in Arrow.

Nolan did a page one rewrite of the Goyer Batman Begins script, itself influenced by the Year One script Aronofsky and Miller wrote a half decade prior. Beyond that, Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises were 100% Chris and Jon, with Goyer getting a credit for the use of characters like Rachel and other reoccurring aspects that can be linked back to his Begins draft (thus the story, and not screenplay, credit). Goyer did sit in on the writing sessions for Dark Knight, but acted as the watchman of canonical stuff - basically keeping them from diverting too much off the established archetypes of Batman/Joker/Two-Face stuff. He was basically entirely out of the picture during Dark Knight Rises' development as he was working on the story Bible for Da Vinci's Demons and writing Man of Steel by that point.

Anyway, weren't the seasons where Johns was in charge the best ones for Arrow and Flash? And they started to become worse after he left? edit: Another Batman movie trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGeQKu8RXDc

A Robin reference from Slade would be kind of cool but mentioning the whole Teen Titans wouldn't work in the DCEU.

Not sure how I feel about the voice acting so far. Burt still sounds dead on, but Adam West...I think he's going a bit too far. He sounds more like Parody Adam West, and not how he was in the actual show, where he was super serious every time. Also the Joker not having a mustache is a goddamn crime.

It's also been 50 years since he first played Batman. I'll cut him some slack.

The animation is also boring. It reads exactly like any of the recent DC-WB animations, which undermines the whole aesthetic and tonal novelty of it. It looks dumb.

That's a good choice he's very charming and sexy. Also he's a really big guy so it's good that they have someone to match Aflecks Batman.

Well, there's a big, major problem - the lighting. It's like they took the DC house style coloring and applied it to an animated feature. Batman 66 took place more or less completely in daytime, not in Thrillkiller Gotham or Sin City.

Stealing this from BSS, but apparently Geoff Johns just gave a big interview on Justice League to the Wall Street Journal. DC’s Geoff Johns Reveals How ‘Justice League’ Will Address ‘Batman v Superman‘ Criticisms Apparently they are making big changes to Justice League to address the BvS criticisms. Sounds good. They are going to make sure they don't have terrible editing, weird character motivations, cameos shoehorned in during the final fight that kill the pacing, bad writing, and a lack of impactful action scenes? Nope. Apparently the lessons DC learned from BvS are: quote:Mistakenly in the past I think the studio has said, ‘Oh, DC films are gritty and dark and that’s what makes them different.’ That couldn’t be more wrong. It’s a hopeful and optimistic view of life. Even Batman has a glimmer of that in him. If he didn’t think he’d make tomorrow better, he’d stop. Eh, lighter tone could be good, but it wasn't really what dragged BvS down. quote:Johns says Justice League will directly address Affleck’s more violent and volatile version of Batman Okay, fixing the "not my Batman" issue. It didn't bother me before and if they change it back, it won't really bother me again. But this is still not what dragged BvS down... quote:Johns also says that Justice League won’t have any of Snyder’s “controversial flourishes,” This apparently means: no "nightmare scenes, slow motion, dream sequences, and other Snyder visual flair." I'm not super crazy about Snyder, but why have him direct at this point then? It feels like DC didn't learn any of the right lessons from BvS and Suicide Squad and is either bullshitting for PR purposes or flailing.

I think there may be more slow motion in the trailer for Wonder Woman than in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman combined.

Jenny Angel posted:I'm not sure how I'm missing that point when the post you quoted literally contains the words "the [PoC] director never makes it onto the shortlist in the first place" but hey man My point is that that the idea that the particular film executivse that would narrow down a shortlist of directors to a minority, and then reject that minority based on the landscape of diverse directors would not be the same film executives who would even include a minority director in the first place. Therefore, it's completely absurd to believe that "pandering" to minority directors would harm them in the long run.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:It feels like DC didn't learn any of the right lessons from BvS and Suicide Squad The thing is that fans (like yourself) aren't actually 'teaching a lesson' with their inarticulate responses, so any effort to please you will never succeed. I'd say BVS made a mere billion dollars because it lacked Ellen Page, Superman's ice-breath attack, and cameos from the Air Bud pups.
