I think they're gonna bank hard on having dudes like Will Smith and The Rock in marquee roles as a big part of the "DC IS FUN NOW" marketing strategy. You watch it's only a matter of time until we get Tom Cruise in self parody mode as Metatron.

Part of what annoys me about the nerd crows annoying Affleck about the solo Batman movie is that there's no shortage of Batman movies. There's even one coming out in theatres next month. I want them to fast track SHAZAM already! Edit: You can't cast Tom Cruise as Metron. Metron only sits in a chair. That doesn't give Cruise a chance to run.

You're joking I hope to God you are anyways But Cruise is tied to the new Universal Monster universe. It's going to be a loving disaster and an awful thing but you know that's where he is. Hey I have an idea, let's make a new cash in movie cinematic universe on that is going to force us to remake some of the best made and best remembered movies that defined culture forever Let's do that and then make them suck and generic pieces of poo poo YEAH that's a great idea loving christ Universal

Tom Cruise has, before this, attached himself to some really great sci-fi projects - Oblivion and Live Die Repeat were great (LDR was significantly better). I wouldn't be surprised if the Mummy turns out to be at least decent. And the mummy has a better evil sorceress than Suicide Squad. What this world needs now is Avatar, but everyone is Sonic the Hedgehog characters. I'd camp out the night before release if Cruise were Sonic.

Black Adam can't be too ruthless and too much of an anti-hero. That isn't fun, hopeful or optimistic. Well, maybe the constant barrage of pop music will add levity to the fascism and violence. poo poo like unity and redemption from sacrifice? Bunch of grimdark, unfun, dour horseshit that!

About that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNXqIvodEHw&t=141s So, that whole thing about entitlement from comic fans you were talking about? I just found a perfect example of that on our very own BSS. First you have people saying why doesn't WB drops truckloads of money on Affleck's doorstep to fast track The Batman and then you have people saying how stupid is to let one person "take hostage" an entire project and how Marvel is better by having the reins of all their projects. Is pretty surreal to say the least.

The Rock has been "attached" to the role of Black Adam since like 2005. It's one of those things like in the 90s it was just a given, "if they make an X-Men movie, Patrick Stewart is going to play Professor Xavier." Actors, I think, pay attention to this stuff so I think The Rock has been excited to be Black Adam for like a decade plus Geoff Johns and everybody else has always been like "well, The Rock is Black Adam, no question." (It is kinda funny how Black Adam's origin, once expanded, kinda plays out like The Scorpion King).

Back when I was reading I read a lot of JSA and Black Adam was a really interesting character. A villain with a moral center who fit that traditional mode of genuinely believing he was right and actually kind of having a point of a lot of the time until he took it too far. The one thing I find a little odd about the DCU is that they're casting these otherwise loved charismatic actors like Smith and the Rock in villain roles. On one hand it can help to humanize the villains but on the other hand Deadshot and Black Adam are pretty clear bad dudes when push comes to shove.

Yeah, Black Adam is kind of DC's Magneto that way, and for a time Khandaq was his Genosha.

STAC Goat posted:Yeah, it seems to be a bit much to call Batman's dreams visions of the future. I mean, I guess I personally missed that those flying things were Parademons and that Flash showed up for real and not just in a "I woke up, no I didn't" dream. So I should probably go rewatchng that sequence. But even still unless Batman suddenly has psychic powers I don't think we should be taking it for granted that Supes is going evil Space Hitler if Lois dies. That's just Batman's obvious fear, that if you cut his tie story humanity he'll turn into the alien threat he's afraid of. If something or someone else played off that and influenced some ideas, or conveniently time jumped right after, I guess I have to go watch again now. There's also a part in the vision where he goes up to the guys at the truck and says "Did you get it? The rock?" and then opens a Lexcorp crate which has a green glow inside it, only to discover that there's no rock and he's been set up. This is before Bruce finds out about kryptonite in his current timeline.

No, the dream happens while he's decrypting Lex's data to find out who the White Portuguese is, because he knows they're bringing kryptonite into town. Bruce does "wake up" after the Flash leaves, but papers are blowing around. The whole movie is a melding of reality and Batman's dreams really, the decryption dream does have all sorts of hints at Darkseid, but it's possible the Flash drug that back through time with him. It's also just the world as hell as Batman is powerless to stop it.

I just figured all the Darkseid allusions were Bruce's subconscious detectiving of poo poo in Luthor's files while trying to decrypt the Justice League audition files. Or had Luthor not yet come across the galactic data dump from the Archive/Stephenwolf/whatever galactic things?

I thought it was very clear that the Flash was somehow allowing Bruce to see either the future or some alternate version of the present. I don't think there's any other way to interpret the scene, it would be quite a coincidence that the "dream" happens right as Flash is trying to communicate with Bruce through some sort of hole in space-time.

However, I did think the 1st dream was Darkseid more than Flash. If you don't know anything from the comics though, the dream plays off more as a depiction of Bruce's paranoia. It's the 1% thing playing out for him in a vivid dream, which also is a hellish Desert Storm scenario. The Flash time travel is purposely confusing, for better or worse, even his dialogue makes it unclear what he's trying communicate. Typical Barry Allen.

The big giant Omega symbol shows you that it's not just a dream. It's some kind of portent or omen. I'm not saying that everything in it is literal, but it's not just some paranoiac images from a disturbed individual.

I guess we won't actually know what the visions were about until they make the movies that explain why the Flash was trying to contact Bruce, they left it vague enough that they could go in several directions with it. It's a sequel hook that came in the middle of the movie, it's supposed to be vague yet intriguing.

Catching Bruce waking from some sort of nightmare about how he messed up something and the future isn't right due to his failure is probably about as coincidental as catching Aquaman near a body of water.

It could be, I just don't think it's a safe assumption to make when Flash actually says he's arrived at the wrong time. He mistakenly confirms Bruce's worst nightmare.

quote:Warner Bros and DC are moving aggressively on a new screen version of Green Lantern. They’ve set David Goyer to write the script with Justin Rhodes for Green Lantern Corps, with Goyer producing and with DC heads Geoff Johns and Jon Berg exec producing. The new version is described as Lethal Weapon in space, and it’s based on a comic book origin story. The focus will be on two characters: Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The latter is an African American Marine sniper before he joined the Lantern Corps and the story very much focuses on his relationship with Jordan and the Corps. The story was conceived by Goyer and Johns. http://deadline.com/2017/01/green-lantern-corps-warner-bros-david-goyer-justin-rhodes-dc-1201884133/ HAL MOTHERFUCKING JORDAN IS A GO
