Dark_Tzitzimine posted:http://deadline.com/2017/01/green-lantern-corps-warner-bros-david-goyer-justin-rhodes-dc-1201884133/ Well, if anyone can write an even worse Green Lantern movie than the first one, it's Goyer. Why they keep hiring him, I'll never know. The script was the worst loving part of Man of Steel and Snyder is a hero for turning it into a watchable movie. If they wanted to do Lethal Weapon in space, why not just get Shane Black to write it? Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Last time? I think the DC TV side is causing people to mistake Berlanti for Johns and vis versa.

Johns was also EP and did a script treatment of the Green Lantern movie, but isn't credited as a screenwriter.

If the goal is to make a Green Lantern film even worse than the first one, they're off to a great start!

Please just kill off Hal Jordan in a space car crash and have John Stewart forget all about him while training rookie Kyle Rayner. Guy Gardner can be Hal's old trainee.

Hey, if they're doing "Lethal Weapon in space" then maybe Hal will be Riggs and he'll have an actual personality?

They tried giving Hal a personality once, then he killed a bunch of people and got turned into the Spectre. Just give it up and go with one of the 7199 Lanterns who don't suck.

Doc Brown should get a Green Lantern ring. He built a time machine in 1886 out of pure force of will.

Yeah, Kinberg is the guy shepherding all of Fox's comic movie projects, just like Geoff Johns is involved in everything that is happening with the DCEU and Kevin Feige is the grand poobah of Marvel Studios.

The writer of Black Panther, the writers of Captain America 2 and 3 (and now the next Avengers movies), the writer/director of Antman, were all not known in the superhero/action realm before signing up with Marvel. EDIT: When talking about Antman, I'm talking about peyton reed and adam mcckay.

Hal Jordan being called out by people for being a dumbass meathead is an endless source of entertainment and if the Green Lantern movie can hit on that it will be a super great time.

We already got the best interpretation of Hal Jordan in Godzilla 14. It was just Godzilla instead of a ring.

Bat's  face afterwards and his angry drive home are amazing.Though now I want to know what would have happened had Superman stayed around. "Tell me, do you bleed?" "Come again?" "Uh, nothing."

Superman was going through a PR nightmare because he overstepped his bounds and charged into Africa to save Lois. The whole thing where he shows up to threaten Batman in the most milquetoast way possible and then quickly flies away afterwards is because he's actually quite tentative about interfering with...pretty much anything, actually. He's just killing time doing Classic Supermanning of saving people from disasters until the whole thing blows over. But, of course, he can't help himself...he has to get involved with the Gotham Batman. Burkion posted:Man, if it wasn't for the fact that they would donk it some how, I would kill to have a movie adaptation of It's Superman! People would absolutely freak out at 1930s Superman. He's not a nice guy.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:People would absolutely freak out at 1930s Superman. He's not a nice guy. Oh, no, I'm talking about an adaptation of the Novel, It's Superman! by Tom De Haven. Which is a period piece set in the 30s about Clark, Lois, and Lex, where they came from and how they end up where they are, set in an authentic 1930s America, including all the racism you'd expect. It's a loving wonderful book, and a brilliant character piece on the three. Clark is nowhere near as confidant as his real 1930s counterpart, but is also just so much more human. I would also be fine with an actual 1930s Superman movie though.

He has a story credit for Dark Knight, but the script was written by Chris and Jon Nolan. This was likewise the case for Dark Knight Rises. I want to give David S. Goyer a pass because he wrote Blade, which remains the goddamn poo poo. But he also wrote AND directed Blade: Trinity, so gently caress him.

Just don't go into it expecting action beat after action beat. It's far more a character thing than it is big set pieces for Superman to Superman everywhere. The three leads don't even really meet up until near the end of the book, with Superman and Lex only sharing one scene together. It's a brilliant one though.
