Because god drat, if they both are as good as MoS and BvS I'm gonna be a happy boy. :allears:

I'm hesitant about Cyborg, though, mainly because I've never given a poo poo about him and his midmovie teaser was blah.

People like to compare the superhero 'trend' to westerns, but it's really that the slasher villains of yesteryear have traded their knives for capes. Now we're in a glut of Critters and Leprechauns and whatever.

Westerns certainly apply in the sense of its reliance on a justice dispensing outsider, but it is superficial to your point; The franchise branding worship, unabashed camp, dark mirror villains, and supernatural elements. Two big differences are that slasher movies were cheap to make (Superhero movies seem to be able to offset this through its broad assimilation of other genres) and the violence was presented as somewhat objectionable, though still vital, thrilling and fetishtic.

We don't know the extent of how much setup if any for the Cyborg solo movie they did in Justice League. But it's still a rumor so it could be moot. I'm not even worried about a solo Cyborg film because it'll be a lot more interesting than what the comics have done with the character.

I'm sad no one caught my bad machine puns in my last post.

Well, Cyborg will be a supporting character in the Flash movie, so there's that.

It's why I noted broad assimilation and not depth as has been shown from the comedic heist escapades of Ant-Man, alien invasion realism of Man of Steel, to the infantile political drama trappings of Captain America Civil War. Too little deviation and people don't get the thrill of new, too much deviation and people experience cognitive tension from low processing fluency.

Comic book movies have been able to hit this sweet spot for 3 decades now to becoming the tent pole monstrosities of Hollywood.

My only exposure to Cyborg is from the 2 seconds he's in BvS and the Injustice game, where his character is "black dude, good with tech, has fought Deathstroke in the past."

Anyone mind giving a cliff's notes on who this guy is?

Is it too late to reboot Flash? This gives me an idea for a Flash/Cyborg buddy movie starring James Roday and Dulé Hill.

Edit: Never mind that. I want Hill as Blue Beetle and Roday as Booster Gold. That would be brilliant.

Justice League: War is an animated movie on Netflix that would probably show it best. Basically he's just a football player with daddy issues.

He's like Robocop except the scientist who saved his life and put him in that robot body is his dad.

Also I think he may have played football or something.

Now that he's a roboguy, he's good with machines and technology I guess.

My secret wish is the reason they don't have Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern is because it's going to be Guy and John Jonzz with Batfleck as part of I Can't Believe It's Not Justice League for the sequel with Giffen, DeMatteis doing a treatment on the script.
