WB to announce Superman/Batman & JLA movies

Started by -Pr-232 pages

That's encouraging. As far as she goes, she looks exotic, and her military history means that she should have no problem with the fight training.

Girl seriously needs to do some serious working out on her figure though. And yes, I get that people might get mad and be all "judge her on her work".

No.

If Superman/Thor/Batman/Cap have to be buff as hell, then Wonder Woman needs to put in the same amount of effort in to making her look the part. If she's not believable, then people aren't going to buy it.

if this be true, might be the best thing about the film..

She's not curvy. That's the problem.

Getting pumped up ain't hard, but you can't make her skeleton any different.

As long as it isn't too much like the Nolan films, I'll be happy.

Agreed. Wonder Woman isn't always curvy though, so they can get away with it if they aim for something more like Michael Turner's version of the character.

I would prefer something with a curvier look, but I'm willing to meet them half way, if they bulk her up a little.

Michael Turner's WW is sexy in the face, but his proportions are kinda messed up. Not too much better than Liefield in some regards.

The truest canon Wonder Woman...is Ed Benes'. biscuits

Benes is actually my "ideal" Wonder Woman, figure wise. Though he's my favourite artist, so that's not surprising.

I'm just saying that if they pull off the Turner "look", I'd be fine with that.

CBR: Why Delaying Superman/Batman Is A Good Thing:

They're all good reasons, but none of that changes the fact that they so drastcially changed their plans. Why didn't they think of any of those reasons before announcing a 2015 release date? Fact is they don't have a solid plan and vision which they're sticking to. And that's what I'm pissed about.

And Gal Gadot signing on for 3 films, which include JLA and WW. Been posted before, but this one is from Newsarama. Looks like the people who were worried she wouldn't have a solo film can take a breather.

Signing up for 3 films is just standard. That really doesn't confirm anything about WB's future plans.

Mark Ruffalo signed on with Marvel for 6 films I believe, yet 2 years after Avengers there's still no new Hulk solo movie.

Cool.

I'm guessing he'd use the normal one for most the movie, and the armored one for his fight with Superman.

As long as they don't Frank Miller the shit out of it.

I doubt their changing all that much, TBH. Depending on what "changes" you mean. Be more specific.

How can I be specific? I don't work behind the scenes. But an extra year clearly means some big changes to their original plans. A bit of tweaking wouldn't have changed the release date by much, if at all.

Roughrider posted reports of some serious disagreements going on behind the scenes. Those rumors are likely true Imo.

In the mean time is WB comes out and gives us a solid and valid reason, like "we were also in pre-production for Justice League to be released in 2017, and we realized it just made sense to make that and MOS2 back-to-back," then that would be fine. But all their giving us is "oh we didn't realise how complex our planned visual effects were so we're delaying by a year and not even shooting yet," so it's hard to have faith in what their "plans" are at the moment. Because they don't seem that solid.

Rumors of Arrow being part of Justice League seem to be completely fabricated:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/s206/arrow/news/a546045/arrows-stephen-amell-denies-bullst-justice-league-rumours.html

Doesn't look like that will ever happen unfortunately.

I'm starting to believe Wonder Woman will be undercover at Lex corp the whole movie.

Anyone else getting tired of the constant baseless rumors? I'm not even going to pay attention to anything that isn't an official announcement anymore.

i saw that as I follow Stephen Amell on Facebook, however this is what i think.. I think WB execs told him to cool it a little regarding him being a part of Justice League.. After all Justice League is what 4 or 5 years away do anything can happen ..

Some disagreements doesn't mean they are scrapping everything and going in a different direction. Those sites weren't specific and there are rumors of them shooting JL back to back.

Yeah but would that idea include Grant Gustin as Barry Allen for Justice League? He's a bit young really. I suppose they could use a different actor for Flash if they say JL takes place like 10 years after the events of Arrow.

I hope they do it (especially if they're not making any other solo films before JL), and just make any difficulties like Flash's age fit somehow. But I just don't see WB/DC having the motivation to do that tbh. There will be too many execs saying "no we can't do that, it will be too difficult and probably won't help the box office. Let's not stifle our creativity like that" and blah blah...

Because thing is, as awesome a show as Arrow is, the average viewing is only like 3 million. So if they look at the numbers like accountants they probably will think "screw it, it's not worth it." But if they want to be smart, ambitious and original then they could use both franchises to market each other, and it could work really well Imo. Unfortunately I'm not a WB exec, so they won't listen to my marketing brilliance!

It's kind of a given that they're having issues. And will be a reasonable assumption until WB make some big announcement that makes sense out of everything.

On the other hand it could all just be part of some crazy ass marketing:

The delay seems to have increased hype for the movie. Which is really bizzare!

I already said they had issues, which many sites agreed to as being with the script. Terrio was said that he was just a touchup, but I think he's going to re-write the whole thing.

Either way, even if they scrapped Goyer's plot/script, nothing but good can come from that. I don't trust him in charge of the 2 biggest heroes in comics.

This I agree with. I don't trust Goyer too much with the script. Story? Yes. Script and dialogue? No. The dialogue was the weakest aspect of MOS Imho.

If they stick to Synder's vision, but have Terrio working hard to put a better script together, then that will probably lead to a much better film.

We both need to be running that place. Imagine how much money we would make them

Spoiler:
and us
😛

Some interesting new from my sources. They tell me the film is starting production soon and all main cast is expected to be ready to go. This makes me think they might be shooting back to back.
