Uncle Boogeyman posted:honestly this is why at this point i think superhero comics continuity in general is a lost cause and all superhero comics should be self contained elseworlds type stuff. pretty much the only superhero comics i read nowadays fall under that, some of the DC Black Label stuff has been pretty good. Not always, but Batman for sure. You can't have the Batman from The Batman or the Nolan movies doing his thing and solving heists and bomb plots in Gotham, then a few months later he's on the moon helping fight Brainiac or Darkseid, and then next he's got to solve Riddler's next big scheme. Batman more than anyone needs at least two continuities to work

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Josh Friedman (Avatar 2 and the Snowpiercer TV series) is writing the Fantastic 4 movie. He is taking over for the previous writers Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer; allegedly due to a "change in tone" to be less comedic and more dramatic Sci-fi. Why don't they ever ask comic book writers to write these movies?

Shageletic posted:Why don't they ever ask comic book writers to write these movies? I imagine they have. Like I’m sure a bunch of comic writers have said “I’m gonna write a movie script”. But I also image the average comic book writer can’t write a movie as easily so they end up getting rejected or rewritten by someone who knows how to speak the language of film. But they’re different things and being good at one doesn’t mean you’d just naturally be good at the other.

If they let one of their comic writers write a movie they might actually have to start paying them above poverty wages to keep writing a comic They might even have to offer...*gasp* healthcare!!! site fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Apr 1, 2023 |

Before things went horribly wrong for them there was that report that G-Mo worked on a script with Ezra Miller for The Flash movie.

Sin City holds up but that’s thanks to Rodriguez doing a great job handling the direct adaption and scene chewing performances. But then Miller made The Spirit.

Batman doesn't need to kill the Joker. He could just, like, paralyze him or something. Maybe enlist Bane for help with that. I feel like Joker would be a significantly lessened threat if he couldn't pick up a crowbar, you know?

I love how, in the real world, Jeffrey Epstein can miraculously snap his own hyoid bone the moment the cameras go out in his cell, and absolutely nothing substantive will be done about it, but in Gotham world, the most dangerous and reviled psychotic ultra terrorist with a five digit body count never gets accidentally dropped down a flight of stairs five times.

I saw a thing recently that a Thing/Hulk book added a gimmick called the 'causality virus' that essentially makes 616 always return to the status quo no matter what. So I guess what I'm saying is Dr Manhattan did it.

I'm surprised that "Joker killed my husband/wife/brother/sister/son/daughter therefor I'm going to hunt him down and kill him" stories aren't a regular thing in the DCU. Carrying a gun and being willing to shoot someone on sight if they even look like the Joker would seem a perfectly reasonable and potentially life saving move if you lived in Gotham. E: this isn't a problem if the Joker is a potential threat to kill rather than an unstoppable killer. The Joker is a Jaws movie where rather than being hidden 90% of the time the shark is floating down the street snacking on an endless buffet of frightened and paralyzed victims.

chris yost is a credited writer on thor the dark world and Ragnarok are we doing a bit here the real actual answer btw is that screenwritring and comic writing are two completely different skill sets

And also they’re adaptations and should be able to be done with different takes and ideas. Otherwise it’s kinda dull if you don’t make some kind of change.

It was the point of the Character Clownhunter who killed/injured/best up Jokers henchmen building up to the Joker but of course Batman stopped him saying this isn't the way things are done. More than one person you would think all the citizens of Gotham would just form a vigilante group to kill the Joker considering the fact that everyone who lives there has probably lost several family members to the Joker's attacks.

Joker, Riddler, and Ventriloquist have all killed tens of thousands of people at this point. Penguin had at one point (in fact did the first bat villain mass murder), but that seems to have been retconned.

The thing about this problem is that having people try to "solve" the problem in-story is just making the problem worse, because what they should actually be doing is exercising more editorial discipline out-of-story and writing these characters differently.

Not super sold from that trailer. Also wasn't loving the suit design until the last couple of shots made it look more tokusatsu-inspired than generic CGI-mess.

Might be a decent weekend HBO Max watch.
