EW is reporting that Whedon's Batgirl won't be based on the recent version aimed toward the female demographic and will instead use Gail Simone's N52 run as starting point. This would mean the story of Barbara recuperation from Joker's attack.quote:Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon will be writing, directing, and producing a big-screen Batgirl film, telling the solo story of the female super heroine. Honestly, this really sounds like an April Fool's joke that got out early.

I like that even with the Joss Whedon DCEU Batgirl movie they still went with the darkest and grittiest version of the character they could.

Gail Simone is hardly dark and gritty. It's a story taking place years after the dark and gritty about recovering and becoming Batgirl again.

Whedon had a Wonder Woman script several years ago that WB was considering - before the DCEU - and passed on.

He did write that Wonder Woman film script though where "Wonder Woman" is a sentient suit from space and whenever Wonder Woman dies the suit crawls to nearest woman and dresses itself onto her and that person becomes the new Wonder Woman.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Jeremy Renner passed on Mission Impossible Six and is going to co-star in Ant-Man and The Wasp. I like Renner and feel like his knack for comedy is underrated, so I think this rules. I also think the smaller random teamups are a way better idea than the bloated Civil War/Infinity Gauntlet ideas.

Pretty much every comic book heroine (except for Hellcat I guess) has a fraught, traumatic past though. Even Red Sonja (until Gail "dark and gritty" Simone thankfully erased the "rape gives you super powers" part of her backstory).

The thing they never really address in the classic Tim Allen Holiday film "The Santa Clause" is that the business card that Santa carries binds the person that finds it into servitude as Santa. This raises several important questions: 1) What happened before business cards existed? Is the card itself magic or just the vessel for a general Christmas spell that has been transferred over time? 2) What happens if Santa Clause dies and nobody is around to receive the card? 3) What happens if a woman picks up the card? (The sequel establishes that there is a "Mrs. Clause" that requires the male Clause to bind a woman into his sexual service. This strongly implies that the card would not work on a woman. What happens to the card in this scenario? The film establishes that there "must always be a Santa Clause.") 4) Is the soul that is bound through the spell/curse immortal from natural causes? 5) Who was the first Santa and how did he know to initiate this contingency plan? 6) The "Clause" personality overtakes the previous host's personality. Since the host loses control of their body and mind, does this make the Clause effectively a death sentence for the host?

For 6) I think the third movie is about him finding a replacement. Presumably he can remove the suit through sonic vibrations.

How is the Clause host body chosen again? Is it whoever kills Santa or does it find a worthy person in the area like a Green Lantern ring? I guess what I'm asking is if an unrepentant killer murdered Santa, would the Clause persona still choose that person? Would it slowly take over even a deranged murderer and turn them into Jolly Old Saint Nick?

parallelodad posted:For 6) I think the third movie is about him finding a replacement. Presumably he can remove the suit through sonic vibrations. The third movie reveals that there is an "Escape Clause" that reverses time to the instant that the previous Santa was killed. In this scenario, after the time travel event, the host would have never actually been bound into service as the Clause. He eventually is able to travel back in time again and re-enact the previous timeline. He becomes the Santa Clause once again and the timeline is reverted back to the original sequence. Once he becomes Santa again, it is implied that he serves for eternity and no replacement is needed until his death (assumed to be from unnatural causes as he is no longer able to age as the Clause).

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:5) Who was the first Santa and how did he know to initiate this contingency plan? How does a fungi know to produce a spore? It's simply a biological imperative. The obvious parallels to the Santa Clause movies are things like Species, Splice, The Fly, and Morgan, about a person at war with their strange new powers and compulsions.

I guess what I'm asking is if an unrepentant killer murdered Santa, would the Clause persona still choose that person? Would it slowly take over even a deranged murderer and turn them into Jolly Old Saint Nick? The canon established in the first movie is as follows: - When Santa dies of unnatural causes, whomever puts on his coat and reads the card within it becomes the new Santa. - The host slowly transforms physically and mentally into Santa Clause. (Scott Calvin eventually becomes Jolly St. Nick and insists that this has been his given name for his entire life. He then abandons his wife and children to go to the North Pole. He also remarries another woman in the sequel by tricking her into accepting the "Mrs. Clause" that causes her to transform into the host's mate and fall in love with him.) The Santa Clause 2: Mrs. Clause also skirts around the issue of consent. The "Mrs. Clause" previously had no romantic feelings for Santa or his host Scott Calvin. She is tricked into accepting the Clause and compelled to love him. She births a child fathered by Santa Clause, but was the child conceived in rape? Mrs. Clause fell pregnant knowingly and voluntarily, but would she have done so without the influence of the Clause? Most societies today acknowledge that even acts that are consensual at the time can be considered rape if the victim is not of sound mind. There was also deception involved in getting her to a state where she would consent. She was not previously informed of all of the ramifications of accepting the Clause.

He was already divorced from his wife with only weekends with his kid when he took on the mantle of Claus. His kid became an accessory to his Clausing.

Wait, did you snip a cut out of that Civil War footage or does it literally go from "War Machine gets knocked into a truck mid-flight" to "War Machine fires all his guns" with zero actual connective tissue or even him rising into the frame or even a loving cutaway to anything else

I just had a weird mental association of Infinite Loop - Mobius Strip - Mobius - Sonic the Hedgehog and remembered that Tim Miller left Deadpool 2 to do a Sonic the Hedgehog movie. I just googled to check in on it and they apparently released a bunch of new details about the movie that somehow make it even weirder. It's going to be an animation/live action hybrid. quote:Sonic the Hedgehog is set to star in his first feature film, which will be produced by Sony Pictures and combine live-action with animation. In a statement, Sega chief executive, Hajime Saito, confirmed the movie is set for release in 2018. quote:"Sega Sammy Group is currently planning with Sony Pictures to create a live-action and animation hybrid Sonic The Hedgehog movie scheduled for release in 2018," he said, speaking to The World Folio. quote:Crush 40 lead singer Johnny Gioeli also hinted that he was involved with the upcoming film.
