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

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....?
well what is going on with the straight to dvd animated movies they are putting out?

DC puts too much emphasis on a few characters - the entire series 52 focuses on the universe without Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Like they couldn't possibly get along without them
Originally posted by boriquaking55Ditto for the most part. GL could be cool, but only if it's John Stewart and he's like the one on JLU. Wouldn't mind seeing a flash movie either. Make a really good movie about an obscure character that doesn't come off as lame or cheesey. It's sad about the female flicks because if Catwoman & Elektra would have been done right they could have been great. & WW seems to just be more of the same, maybe even worse because the character isn't exactly top shelf. "I've got a magical Lasso that makes you tell the truth & an invisible jet"🙂 The actress better be sexy as hell. She should put Rebecca Romjin to shame(not an easy task) Marvel should make a really good Supreme Power movie
Quite simply the reason more DC movies aren't made is because, well, most of them would be really lame.Wonder Woman is gonna be another Catwoman or Elektra - none of them should have been made. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say any comic movie based on a female lead will bomb. Sounds sexist, yes, but let's face it WW just seems kind of corny for the big screen.
Marvel is sort of the flavor of the moment right now, due to the success of Spider-Man, and studios are trying to cash in. So of course we're gonna see lots of their flicks. As far as DC is concerned, there are only a few possibilities - Kingdom Come, perphaps a Lobo movie, wouldn't mind seeing Darkseid on the big screen - but overall, a lot of the DC characters would just be cheesy in live-action. I mean, c'mon, could you imagine a Teen Titans or JLA movie 😂 Aquaman? Green Lantern?
I think an aquaman movie is very doable.
1. Environmental issues
2. general interest in the city of atlantis
3. cool undersea national geographic kinda footage
I think there is enough to do something. Espeacially special effects wise to.
Think about the phantom menace when Quigon and Ob1 are swimming to the gungan city
yeah that too. Maybe some global warming crap also.
WW. we need a Kate beckinsale or a Jennifer connely, a little younger though.
Beautiful woman. Dark black hair you can practically see your reflection in. About 5 foot 10 with the boots on. Great legs, C cup boobs.
Themyscara.
Think of Rome in the movie 'gladiator', only on a tropical island though.
Originally posted by OB1-adobeKate's not big enough(A or B). Not sure 'bout Connely. She used to be sexy as s**t back in the Rocketeer days. Looks like she lost too much weight. For Aquaman to get over, the movie's gonna have to be ultragood & I don't see that happenning.

I can see it happening. I can see the costume already. His orange shirt is almost like a copper metallic color with the gold collar and wrist bands. The whole thing looks like fish scales that do that change of color thing in the sunlight

There's no way an Aquaman movie's going to work.
The general audience is not going to accept a fish man.
Most DC movies aren't going to work, I'm affraid. Take Wonder Woman for example. The female action heroine sub genre has yet to shake off the stink of films like Aeon flux and ultra Violet, so a Wonder Woman movie could prove to be a HUGE risk. And Frankly, given the nature of the character, a lot of work is needed to make the character fit for the screen.
The same goes for Flash, although his powers are much cooler in the eyes of the public. But still, the character might be a tad too old fashioned.
I'm gonna go see the WW movie. I think its probably gonna be crap though. I don't think that its a predetermined thing that comic book movies based on women will fail. I just find that with comic book movies based on female superheroines, they don't try as hard to come up with a good story. I think it has a bit to do with sexism. They seem to think that making the heroine sexy is enough to make it a good movie.

I completely disagree with you. I think if they treated it as well as they treated the material involving their male superheroes (Batman, Superman) it would be a very good movie. But if they only seem to care about the heroine's cup size or how good she looks prancing around in skimpy outfits, I can see why it might be bad.
Even if they did that, I don't see the film being a success financially
