I would like a Noir Batman to take place in the 1920s-30s and have Reviewbrah/Report of the Week dude from YouTube take on the Bruce Wayne/Batman detective mantle.

I said come in! posted:I don't understand why there is going to be another Suicide Squad in the first place. No one wanted the first one, and no one liked it. Suicide Squad was a god awful movie. While it made a profit, it didn't bring in note worthy box office numbers.

Domestically, Suicide Squad made only 5 million less than Batman V Superman.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Can't wait...a movie about how swell and good Batman is. *yawns so hard my jaw breaks* I love the idea that Batman can be Noir and truly be the World's Greatest Detective, since the whole loving premise of Noir is that the protagonist thinks he's a lot smarter and more connected then he really is and spends the movie getting lessons in their own powerlessness. Not exactly something you can slot Batman into.

The only thing that interests me about either of those movies are the directors. Batman in particular seems to have been re-trod so many times. What new thing is Matt Reeves going to bring to the table on it? But he’s a good director so we’ll see.

In Batman: Year One he spends half the story in over his head and Catwoman is a far more competent athlete and adventurer. In the original Batman stories, he is knocked unconscious and jumped by a couple of guys on a regular basis, it's practically the canonical explanation for why Robin is necessary.

Repeated concussions is a decent explanation of why Batman thought enlisting his child in a war on crime was a good idea.

Batsolutely but the way the World's Greatest Detective poo poo tends to play out is with BatGod having All the Plans. I guess what I'm saying is I hope that the "noir" isn't just Deep Shadows and Pretty Ladies in Nice Dresses pasted over a typical power fantasy

Brother Entropy posted:idk where that article got 'rebooted' from, there's no signs it's anything but a normal-rear end sequel Now confirmed by THR quote:The pic has the title of The Suicide Squad and is not being labeled a direct sequel but as a relaunch. The 2016 original movie featured the characters Deadshot, Harley Quinn, the Joker, Captain Boomerang and Killer Croc, who are forced into the service of the government in exchange for lighter prison sentences. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/james-gunn-talks-direct-suicide-squad-sequel-1181436 The best part though, is that the Snyders will be producing.

Aren't Gunn and Snyder already buddies tho? At the very least it makes sense for Gunn to get his perspective on working with WB since he is coming from a different corporate environment. Not that that means all that much either but I could see there being more involvement than the typical EP credit. We also know that Wan also met with Snyder for Aquaman to keep the vision of the character consistent, and he had similar input on WW and SS. Weirdly, it seems like a bunch of people in the actual industry have a lot of respect for the guy.

I've always been a little iffy on Snyder's politics but the fact that not a single peep of a #MeToo moment came out about him and the universal positive feelings of everyone who has worked with him is good. Pair that with his intentional ambiguity of message and I'm willing to give him a chance.

Not exactly something you can slot Batman into. Pretty sure the whole premise of Noir is to be black and white and take place in the 30s or somewhere around there. Not to mention you're describing a ton of Batman stories with that description of Noir. Tower of Babel immediately springs to mind. OMAC.

I'd be ok if WB/DC comes full circle with Armie Hammer and casts him as the new Batman. I thought he and Cavill paired well on screen in The Man from Uncle.

Are you referencing the 40 odd seconds of Harley fighting off some weird mindless monster putties and comparing that to the 3 minutes of brutal slaughter of normal people? (well, you know what I mean) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXbFP2V_zSA Because boy howdy I don't really think those compare at all!

They aren’t normal people. They were led by an angry evil dude who decided to take charge over Yondu’s crew because he was too soft on the Guardians. Taser face and his crew killed anyone who didn’t join him, in a horrific and awful way by shooting them out into space while Yondu watched, unable to do anything. Then they proceeded to torture and harass baby Groot. I mean, it’s a big ol revenge scene. They’re killing the bad guys in the context of the film. People who were hell bent on killing them.

It’s a good scene but that’s because it’s incredibly disturbing. It’s revelling in the slaughter.
