DC Needs To Make Some F****ing Movies....

Marvel is making a chockload of movies every year. At least two Marvel movies are released per year. 90% of them are crappy but hey at least fans get to see their favorite characters in live action.

DC? Nope. They've had Vertigo titles like V for Vendetta but they rarely release movies from the DCU outside of Superman and Batman. Hell the only goddamn DC movie that wasn't Superman and Batman, was Catwoman and we all know how that went.

So why does DC hesitate to make movies? Why do they only do Batman and Superman? Marvel isn't afraid to branch out of it's two most popular franchises (Spidey & the X-Men) Hell, they have a Ghost Rider and Iron Man movie coming out soon.

But DC? Nothing yet. Wonder Woman is finally getting her own movie. But what about Green Lantern? Or the Flash? Or the Atom? Or the Freedom Fighters?

Why won't DC make movies....?

Because you touch yourself at night.

We already know that. I like to touch other people too at night. But that's besides the point.

I suppose because DC movies are generally less accepted by fans and audiences.

In short, they're bad movies (besides Batman Begins). 😛

That's the thing. They've only made Batman and Superman movies.

Why do they keep milking the old and dying cash cows and focus on a new franchise?

Like a JLA movie? That would rock....

JLA vs. a White Martian invasion. Co-written by Grant Morrison.

Drooooool.....

Well, it appears to me that Time Warner (DC) is taking they're time with the movies they've been making currently, going with the "quality over quantity" approach.

Anyway, Marvel's movies are usually hits-and-misses. Also, they're usually done by numerous production companies, whereas Time Warner owns the copyright on all DC material.

That's just my opinion. Anyway, this belongs in the Movie Forum.

Noooo! Keep it here! It won't get the proper attention there!

*lassoes the thread to a nearby stop sign*

Wonder Woman is going to bomb hard IMO.

Give me a Kingdom Come movie though and I'll be set. Adopt that movie like Sin City, word for word from the book and it would be awesome.

A JLA movie would be terrible.

You can't pack that many stories into 2 hours of film. Once all the characters had a movie out, then... maybe. And then a JLA flick could be like a... "communal sequel" to all of them.

But until them, hell no.

I get the same feeling.

Disappointment along the lines of Superman Returns. 😬

It's being written and directed by Joss Whedon. It CAN'T go wrong. Nothing he does goes wrong....

No it may not sell well because some zit-faced geek says WW is lame and some sh*t but at least the quality of the movie will be good.

Joss Whedon, people!

😠

Maybe if you do a JLA of obscure characters like Vixen, Red Tornado and Black Canary instead of the well-known ones.

Worked with the X-Men. Nobody knew their asses...

Oh, I think it'll be a fine movie but as far as the box office goes, I see it pulling in some Daredevil like numbers.

Probably. It won't be taken seriously....and a man with silverware comiing out his knuckles will be.....

Oh, the injustice of it all....

Wonder Woman' Shazam' Green Lantern' Flash...as beginners. Cat Woman is perfect, I have it. DC heroes are more powerful but Marvel is marvelous!

Catwoman? 😘

I think Flash will be pretty big though.

CatWoman shows the legend of cats...the 7 lives myth and all that. She has a good shape and also pretty. This is a DC thread so don't take it out on me. I'm not coming back here.

for more info on some upcomig movies

Its simply really. DC is afraid to push its lesser known characters out there. Batman and Superman are icons. Everyone knows them. Catwoman is popular due to her Batman association. Being all owned by Time Warner only means that TW wants to doubly make sure that their movies won't bomb. marvel on the other hand tested the waters, first with their more popular franchises and even then with others like Daredevil and Elektra which may not have been heralded as amazing was pretty low budget so there wasn't much of a loss. Imo there wouldn't even be a WW movie coming soon if it weren't for Marvel actively trying to get their characters on the big screen

Two-Face and Joker would be good for Dark Knight (BB sequel).
They are both traditional Bat villains with grim, dark and grisly aspects which could play perfectly to Batman Begins dark feel

if its another success, perhaps DC will push more comic movies into action

Other ones I'd like to see would be Green Lantern, Captain Atom, Green Arrow, Vixen, Black Canary, maybe a Huntress spinoff from a Batman movie. Martian Manhunter could be good depending on how they do it. Same with Flash. He couldnt use the speed force, but they could come up with different stuff
