HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I love this because it's a scenario any writer should be drooling over. Oh man wow, how could we possibly write a noir film where the lead is morally and ethically compromised? There must be a way to decaffinate him and make him palatable. I agree. Like I said, I didn't like BvS, but I thought Affleck was great. I wouldn't mind seeing him continue on with the role. And you're right: if you truly committed to that interpretation of the character, you could tell some interesting stories. But that doesn't seem like it's the direction that DCEU wants to go in, especially since getting a certifiable critical and audience hit in Wonder Woman. Good or ill, I feel like that tone is going to come to define the upcoming slate of movies in the universe. I don't think it's any coincidence that after floating in a limbo for so long that Shazam was finally given a director and a full studio "go" so shortly after the success of that movie.

There's no way that DCEU is ever going to do anything even vaguely disruptive again. We got two nice little anomalies and, if we're lucky, some day we might get to see Snyder's cut of Justice League. I'll take it.

While in his thirties, Besson married a 16 year old, who he had started to see when she was 15, after meeting her when she was 12. Then cast her as a prostitute in "Leon." Dude has issues.

My assumption was that they'd "phase him out" by building up Nightwing or some similar character to fill his function in later films. You don't need that many bat-themed vigilante characters operating at once, and they've already greenlit Nightwing and Batgirl films. Which is definitely what I assume Marvel's going to do. "Replace" Chris Evans with Anthony Mackie or Sebastian Stan like in the comics.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Whedon directing the rest of JL, but I don't think it would be that different from Snyder's original vision. Even if Whedon wanted to make massive changes, there's literally no time to do it properly.

Even if Whedon wanted to make massive changes, there's literally no time to do it properly. Whedon started reshooting in late May and it could go into August. He has the full cast. http://www.batman-on-film.com/dc-comics-on-film_JUSTICE-LEAGUE_news_reshoots-have-began_6-2-17.html For reference, the original shooting schedule for Justice League was April 2016 to October 2016. So this is somewhere around 30 - 50% of the original shooting schedule. Now assuming you trust that article that I posted (and, admittedly, you have nothing more than the word of the site's source - although they do claim it as 100% reliable) - this is quite a significant amount of time. "no time to do it properly" has never stopped Hollywood, sadly. With the amount of money riding on this, I can totally see them gutting it.

Hearing it compared to fifth element in style but far less substance There's brief discussion a couple of pages ago but in my opinion it's visually great but doesn't show of much of Besson's appeal (Editing, way to latch onto plots, effective action, music, clever visuals). (I'm obviously a fan) Only the dense city visuals, aliens, and a dance scene being up Fifth Element.

This will all be especially ironic if Wonder Woman does end up being the turning point, a movie wherein the heroine routinely kills her enemies without remorse while believing them to be supernaturally compelled to action, and goes on a huge rage-out slaughterfest at the end.

Wonder Woman is way bleaker than either MoS or BvS - as it should be, since it's the story of why Wonder Woman wasn't around for a hundred years of human atrocity - but if you didn't pay close attention to the plot you'd never know it.

He was really, really good in spite of my initial doubts and I was looking forward to a solo film. I'm not sure how much "nerds" had to with any casting decisions DC did or didn't make but Affleck was one of the relatively few things DC had going for their franchise and it would suck to lose him.
