The name "Captain Marvel" has a long weird legal history. As I remember, DC owns the character, but not the trademark for "Captain Marvel." They can refer to him as "Captain Marvel" within the contents of the books as much as they want. Which is why they've been using "SHAZAM!" on the covers dating back to the 70s when they were merely licensing the character. The New 52 change seems to have been made to simplify it for everyone. The wizard these days is still named Shazam, but he's usually just referred to as "The Wizard" or "The Wizard Shazam."

Venom is basically Dark Spider-Man. A Venom movie without any association to Spider-Man would be like making uh... a Shadow the Hedgehog movie without Sonic in it. Actually that would be hilarious.

Since WB cast Simmons as Gordon, maybe Sony will cast Gary Oldman as J.J. Jameson?

I always viewed Penguin as the missing link between plain mobsters to the colorful villains. But yeah, he wouldn't have fit in the Nolanverse since the main villains were metaphors for ideologies.

Sir Kodiak posted:This is a contrast, not an inconsistency. This is correct. In the previous movie, we see Batman...well, begin. We see how he learns how to fight, we see how he gets his car, how he made his costume, ect. We don't get that with Joker. He is a complete mystery, perhaps even to himself. We don't get Joker's hows, but we get his whys

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:That you were supposed to be as disoriented as Batman's foes, presumably. Basically. The fights were from their point of view. They weren't set up to show a man in a rubber suit fighting people. They're shot to give the feeling of being hunted by a strange creature.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Counterpoint: the first Bane fight is awesome, well-lit, well-shot, has good foley work, distinct character moments, callbacks to prior films, and incorporates both the participants' state of mind and personalities. Shakeycam wouldn't have worked with this fight, or any of the other fights in TDKR because the movie was about demystifying Batman and Bruce's disillusionment.

Honest Thief posted:I doubt Bale could move at all in the Bat suits, so even simple choreography must suck. He was able to. I think they said they invented a new fabric to make the cowl or something. It must have been the most comfortable Batsuit of them all.

Electromax posted:Flash/ReverseFlash and Aquaman/OceanMaster could be the pretty standard 'intro film includes guy with the same powers' that superhero movies love. Dunno anything about Aqua though (and Flash either really, never seen the show), what does an Aquaman movie look like? Is it all underwater? Does he talk to humans on the surface? Does he stab Lex's sub camera because he's a feral ocean dweller who doesn't understand technology? Watch the Throne of Atlantis animated movie to get a good idea what the character is like. There's a lot of monarch drama and ocean fantasy.

I haven't seen No Country For Old Men despite having the bluray, but the Coen Bros are masters of black humor. The problem with quippiness is that they are used to mask their films' lack of sincerity.
