The MSJ posted:You know how James Gunn seems to be given more room to work with at Marvel? He might be the closest thing Marvel has to Snyder. I can see Snyder replacing him for GOTG3. Just have Gunn write and Snyder direct both Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Justice League 2 and it'd be perfect.

No I think you're right, as someone who falls into the Snyder liking camp. I'm completely nonplussed by Joss Whedon making a DC film, but am open to it. I don't actually dislike any Marvel films, I just never need or want to watch them more than once. I typically enjoy the one time I watch them. I'm sure Whedon can make a Batgirl movie I will enjoy once and quickly forget.

Like I'll cop to always being more of a DC guy but was never huge on Batman or Superman (more of a Flash and JL guy). I was lukewarm on MoS when it came out but it grew on me a lot and I absolutely love BvS. I also like a bunch of the Marvel stuff, thought Doctor Strange in particular really delivered on the visuals. I mostly respond to the blanket "everyone knows WB is loving things up and putting out garbage and Marvel Studios can do no wrong" attitude that occasionally pops up, not even necessarily just here but FB and elsewhere. My opinion is that both (well all) of the studios have good and bad output. I think Marvel started off interesting but then kind of coasted and played it safe during the last part of Phase 1 and most of Phase 2, but now is finally doing some interesting shared universe stuff with more creative directors and concepts again. DCCU took for drat ever to get properly started but they did good (if divisive) giving Snyder the big opening trilogy; Suicide Squad had some big issues but I also feel like the DCCU has a target on its head anyway. Sony and Fox have been different degrees of good (first 2 Spider-Men and like every opposite X-Men) and bad (FF stuff), and it was in vogue for awhile to bash their output since they "stole" the best Marvel properties. Mostly I am just going to go to what looks good to me, this past few years that's been Snyder's DC stuff and a few of the Marvel films.

Before being launched, one of the human projectiles needs to look at the camera and go "eh, it's a living."

Guy A. Person posted:There's projects where Whedon's style could actually work really well. I've said this before but his participation in the MCU should have been something like directing a webseries where they Avengers joked around during their downtime*. Stuff like the party in AoU were the best parts of the films. A movie where there's tons of just palling around and joking could actually work to his strengths. I doubt Batgirl will be that though, and the dude is not capable of directing film action all that well. I'm not really up to speed on the comics but isn't a big focus on the/a recent Batgirl title about Barbara's life with her friends in essentially the Gotham equivalent of Brooklyn?

Oh possibly, I just figured from a standpoint of the current DCCU look and feel what they presumably would be aiming for with a Batgirl movie. If he took it and made it a palling around and occasionally fighting crime and getting lectures from that curmudgeon Batman while hiding your crime-fighting life from your dad. Then yeah he could probably pull that off! (I don't know what the current DC Batgirl comic is about either, this was just an example of a potential "Whedonesque" movie)

You'd think for something with the potential to be really big like Batgirl they'd hire someone who had written or/and directed at least one good movie previously.

It's me, the guy who loves Dark Knight Rises, loves/likes Snyder's stuff, likes Avengers despite the flaws, thought Dr Strange pretty much did what they promised: a stock Marvel movie with some nutty visuals, and wants to see what Whedon does with Batgirl. Oh and you KNOW I'm 100% on board for shark-ridin'

Age of Ultron was a step up from The Avengers, so hopefully he'll just keep improving.

I fell asleep both times I tried watching Avengers 1. Age of Ultron kept me awake, but I had a grimace the entire time minus the cool Black Panther bits. I'd love to see a Netflix Batgirl that was only 8 episodes. If whedon wanted to write it, so be it, but no CW romance angles. None. No drama about whether or not to tell someone if she's batgirl. MAYBE one quick little "I wish I could tell my dad bit, but that's IT.

I dunno I like renewed older Batman getting a chance to recruit Batpeople, gives me hope he won't be Batman Beyond Bruce then again that Bruce had Batpeople of his own and still ended broken.
