nice

spawn would actually be a good fight for superman. Really the only way you can kill spawn is to cut his head off, and his powers are limited only by his imagination. And yes I know Im being a total fanboy right now.

Does he have unlimited use of his powers now? I know the arc with him serving Hell ended, but I don't really follow Spawn.

Howabout Superman/Speedball? I just want to see Supes spike him.

HAHA Speedball that would be great... ever since Spawn killed Malbolgia he has a lot more use of his powers. Theyre unlimited to the point that he will tire hmself out and needs to rest, but he can almost do anything he puts his mind to now.

Main things I would like to add to this thread:

1. I have a tattoo of Carnage on my right Shoulder.

2. I was a bigger fan of Flash than I was of Supes back in the day. I'll put money down to see this one.

3. If they do a Green Lantern movie, I'd like to see it star Hal Jordan, with a side role for Guy Gardener (The Brian Pillman of DC Comics).

4. How about Superman vs. Onslaught? That'd be one hell of a fight.

5. How much you want to put on a movie with just Silver Surfer if Rise of becomes a hit?

6. Spawn vs. Ghost Rider ftw.

7. Dr. Doom vs. Lex Luthor would be a good battle, as well.

8. There SHOULD be a Green Lantern movie.

A GL movie should star Kyle Rayner as a young GL learning from the more experienced Hal Jordan (or Jon Stewart) as Sinestro attacks Earth. That's how I'd do it, anyway.

Any GL movie will probably feature Hal Jordan. I like the first Green Lantern the best, but I have to admit that all the sci-fi space stuff would make for a better movie... and that with that they'll probably use Hal Jordan. Although, with the success of John Stewart in the Justice League cartoon, it is conceivable that they could use him too. Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner probably have zero chance of anything but a possible supporting role.

This concept is more likely.

Teen Titans... GO!

Weird, I came to this thread to post about the teen titans movie:wtf:

I don't know too much about the teen titans, I have seen the cartoon briefly. I read there Nightwing is a main character.

Who else is likely if they are rolling out the big hitters? (which they say they are).

Nightwing (confirmed)
Robin (safe bet, he won't see life in Bale era Batman)
Starfire (doubt it)
Cyborg (likely)
Raven (the cartoon made her famous so she's likely)
Beast Boy (doubt it)
Ravenger (Slade's daughter would be cool)
Terra (she's a part of one of their more important arcs)
Superboy (doubt it, but points if he came in named Jason)
Kid Flash (I'd like it, but doubt it)
Wonder Girl (she'd probably make it on-screen before her mentor anyway)
Speedy/Arsenal/Red Arrow (His kid incarnation would make a good foil to Robin, or his adult incarnation for 'Wing)

There's been quite a bit of members over the years but I assume they'll focus on 'modern' members if Nightwing is Nightwing afterall.

DC simply doesn't have as many potential movie projects. They should stick to making Batman and Superman movies. Other than Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and maybe Flash, the list wears thin.

Nightwing is Robin right?

Oh and on a related note, did anyone cath the Aquaman TV show. I watched it on TV links the other day. Enjoyable fluff i thought. Could have been quite good fun given a bit of effort. I heard it got canned though. Looking at the fucking trash that goes out on TV everyday i find that quite sad.

Yea Nightwing is Robin, but I doubt anybody would want to see a Robin or Nightwing movie. And I hope to god he isn't put into the new Batman franchise.

Robin is my most hated Batman character, and probably my most hated popular comic book character.

I'd love to see a Nightwing movie. He's a badass.

I don't think nightwing and robin were ever on the team together.

The smart money would be to make a movie with the characters in the cartoon along with one or two others.

I read that plans are on the move for a live action Teen Titans movie..

I realize that's a fan film, but was that Kim Page?

The JLA script is in. WB is pleased with it. Bryan Singer doesn't even have a rough of the next Superman. Two and two says WB will move Brandon Routh to star in JLA instead of another Superman (no problem to him ofcourse).

Its a simple case of what they have already and what they don't have; which is movement on the part of Singer's writing team. And considering WB and Marvel Production's Super Team Movie arms race we could conclude that Superman will not see solo action for quite some time.

If Legendary is handling JLA however, I can't see why they can't film man of Steel and JLA in tandem LotR/Pirates style. Studios showing such enthusiasm often help in hyping the movies (even if the Matrix sequels proves what's wrong with such a gestation method).

Scarecrow will appear in The Dark Knight.

Two-Face will also appear in the next Batman, though how much exposure isn't revealed. So there you have it; like Batman Begins our dark hero will have quite a few villains to take on. Four by my count.

Two-Face, or Harvey Dent?

The actor who plays him said Two-Face. As far as news goes you can't get better sources than actor/writers. They're alot more protective of plot-lines than who's in the movie (unlike a certain wall-crawling franchise). I find that to be a more mature take on pre-release press, personally.

This gangster played by Spawn.

No, there is a named villain called Sal Maroni - or are you talking about Gamble, Kalyx?

I hope they don't turn him into two-face in this film, build it up to a third movie.

Waitaminnit, thought I heard Anthony Michael Hall's mystery role was that of Edward Nygma, aka The Riddler. I guess that makes 5, unless they're just setting Riddler up?

Where did you get this Joker photo?

I'm liking Joker's look. And yeah, I meant gamble. Far as I know the Riddler will not be in this movie. I'd save him; he's a villain that would absolutely rule in the Bale Era universe.

And the CW reveals Smallville's version of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl.

Clark's gonna post a familiar thread about his cousin pretty soon. The actress is Laura Vandervoort. She'll be hanging around for a bit this coming season. Liking that she'll be based on the current S-Girl. That pendant she's wearing won't be on the show, BTW. So no spoilers here. All in all she doesn't look bad.

I don't watch the show, but not bad.

She's lovely:love:

Ahem, anyway......

Jonah Hex is getting the big screen treatment, brought to us by the team that gave us Crank.

To the comic-casual; Jonah Hex is a bounty hunter in the Wild West era and his adventures tend to include supernatural elements like time travel. He's appeared twice in the DCAU which is the most mainstream he's ever got.

http://joebrower.com/PHILE_PILE/PIX/FR/jonah_hex.jpg
See ya in them moving-pictures, partner.

And the Y: The Last Man film has had writers announced:

Meh. Would prefer someone better for an awesome series like Y: The Last Man. Actually, I would prefer an HBO TV series over a movie.

Y :love:

Dude I think I just filled the cup. :naughty:

:drool:

Long story short; they're taking Teen Titans pretty seriously. The writer's approaching it in a realism similar to Batman Begins (though he stressed it not being apart of its universe despite the possible inclusion of two Batman characters). He sounds sincere and the themes seem to fit, but it'll be hard to write a TT script without it sounding like an X-Men story. Let's see where it goes.

Captain Marvel:

His screenplay was turned in with an action/comedy tone. The writer says the concept of a boy who speaks a magic word to be a superhero would work if it was concepted today. I agree. I'm eagerly following this one.

JLA:

They begun casting for unspecified leads. I'm particularly furious at Brandon Routh's exclusion. Bale I understand, but Routh is free to do whatever. If they do Avengers like that idea I posted in the Iron Man thread; Marvel will own the film front.

lol

Good luck with that.

Brokeback Clown Speaks:

Heath Ledger appearently loves playing the Clown Prince of Crime. He describes him as having no empathy; a "mass murdering clown". These things we knew of Joker, but its good to also know he won't be toned down too much in his return to live action.

The Other Batman:

Ryan Gosling (Fracture) is rumored to be a top choice to be the Bat in the live action JLA feature. It's time we got over the fact that Bale isn't gonna be on the team, so let's look forward with who WB is looking at for the role. At best, they shouldn't get anyone who'll emulate Bale's performance. With Superman I can understand why whoever they choose would come off playing Supes like Routh (whose exclusion's something I can barely get over), but there are many shades of Batman to be painted here. We've never seen him around other heroes, and great character points could be made in JLA. An actor could be chosen especially to help paint that picture.

JLA sounds like it's going to be awful.

Its all up to this guy...

JLA Director Confirmed:

George Miller is the director of the upcoming JLA movie. Superman's next film is taking a backseat to the movie. You'd think that mean Routh still has work as Kal-El in JLA but they have some sort of issue with as he won't be Supes in neither JLA or a new Superman movie (I like Routh, people). Why do they consider JLA a sub for a Superman movie anyway? They've expressed that Batman could continue his franchise aside from JLA. I suppose this is a clue to Superman's general role in the team-up. Now after JLA will the new Superman be the star of the next Superman solo film? If Routh returns that would be the stupidest thing I've seen in a while. WB has a chance to set up a movie universe for DC and they're being silly.

So silly.

I really liked Routh, even if Superman Returns was a little lacking. The fact that they're completely shit-canning the Superman franchise for a cheap team-up just sounds incredibly stupid, especially since there's no build-up to it whatsoever.

It’s simple really.

Superman fans will watch a superman film

Or they will also watch a Justice League film because superman is in it

Rinse and repeat with Batman, The Flash and all the others (whoever they decide to put in in, not Aquaman though, please!)

So from the studio’s perspective, the Superman film didn’t make a profit in the cinema and generally wasn’t well received. I thought it was passable and it wasn’t Routh’s fault, I thought he did a good job, as did Kevin Spacey, I think the rest of the cast sucked and the feel of the film wasn’t right, it was like they were trying to make modern day feel like the 1920’s with the fashion and general decor, it made the previous superman film look more modern. Anyway I’m getting off track. This will make money because it’s pretty much going to bring in all fans of most of the popular DC comics. So it stands more chance of making money than a superman solo film.

Bale is raking in the cash and they’ve done a stella job with the re-launch of the franchise, if Bale doesn’t want to be on board, I don’t see why they can’t have another guy playing batman, it’s not that big a deal is it really? Same goes with Supes, Routh could stick with the solo flicks and someone else could play Kent in this film.

Ryan Reynolds for The Flash though, that’s the most exciting part of this film for me, as the old TV film was a let down along with the TV show, even if I did watch it religiously as a child, he deserves a proper run on the big screen

Just downloaded Superman: Doomsday.

Superman: Doomsday is pretty nice. I seen some scenes and those DCAU guys get loose without the confines of TV editing. That 'Return of the Joker Uncut' edge makes me excited for their new animated DVD line. I'm dying to see the JLA movie (New Frontier).

I'm psyched about New Frontier. It's an awesome story, and the previews for it look sweet. If the JLA movie is anything like that, I'll be happy.

Know Your Role And SHAZAAM!!:

The Rock as been approved for one of two roles in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie; Black Adam (which would be great) or Captain Marvel himself (which would be a miscast). The Rock has expressed that its up to the fans of the product. As a fan, I say Black Adam all the way.

Alfred Speaks:

Michael Caine went on record to say, you guessed it, Heath Ledger is owning his role as Joker. That's like 4 people saying that this will be a great Joker, but Caine has specifically stated that it blows old Jack's portrayal away. everybody's thinking it, Caine said it. Can't wait.

Make Up Your Mind:

First off, some chick auditioned for the role of Diana Prince (Wonder Woman), whatever.

Now, the site JusticeLeague-on-Film.com as stated that the JLA movie will infact be CGI focused, as in Pixar-type CGI. They said they were 90% certain. That's a reversal of the news we got that it would be a live-action film. But since the news of it being Live-Action came from WB itself, I'll go with that news. I mean all the talk of Batman's actor and stuff would be silly if that were the case, right?

If Michael Caine said that, then I believe him.

The Rock WOULD be a miscast as Captain Marvel. He WOULD make a great Black Adam in terms of looks... but... I still can't get over watching The Rock in movies. He is always just The Rock to me. Although, to be fair, I've only ever seen The Scorpion King, and that was a long time ago. But in trailers and stuff I'm just like "The Rock is acting!" and not seeing him as his movie character like I do with other actors.

Never heard of Black Adam.

Black Adam is basically Captain Marvel, only Middle Eastern and evil. He's much cooler than I just made him sound, though.

Black Adam is badass.

Those two or three panels of Black Adam taking to Superboy Prime in Infinite Crisis is what made me a closet fan of Black Adam. That and the line, "Child or not, you die today." Ruthless.

No need to be a closet fan, LET THE WORLD KNOW.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

The Hurricane turned heel on the JLA?!?!

JLA Issues:

The long rumored Hollywood strike has the execs worried that certain writers of a certain superhero team-up film may screw them over before a rewrite could be done. I don't know the details of this epic strike, but all I know is it put Transformers 2 and DBZ on the hotseat for 2009 releases. May we get more stuff out sooner because of this big scary strike.

Transformers alumni Tyrees is one of the contenders for GL John Stewart. He should stick with Luke Cage, one military character is enough for an R&B singer.

And humorously enough, WB is having trouble finding someone to be Batman for JLA. Plain and simple: Nobody wants to be compared to Christian Fucking Bale. Serves them right for trying that crap in the first place.

God damnit, why can't we get Hal Jordan for once? I know they feel like they need a black guy on the team, but Stewart is boring.

I always saw Martian Manhunter as a black guy.

Racist.

Not suprising that no one wants the Batman role....pretty much guaranteed to get criticised for it.

JLA Plot Revealed:

The early draft of the JLA feature has the seven original members (Kal, Hal, Diana, Bruce, Barry, Arthur, and Jonn) going up against Max Lord and his OMACs. There's a planned battle between Bruce and Clark as well as Clark vs Diana.

Speaking of Wonder Woman; she may not get her own feature because female lead movies did poorly this season. Blow it out your ass WB.

Also, although I stated Barry and Hal up there, there's a likely chance we'll see Wally and John instead as the Flash and GL respectively.

Though the plot sounds promising, I still can't help but feel like the movie's turning out to be a mess.

It's going to be a mess for sure.

Even Superman Can't Save This...:

It seems every update on Justice League is a hint at its own failure, atleast with fans of the DC Superteam.

There was a major casting tryout on Sunday and Monday over the superheroes featured in the movie. The majority being... well kids. 20-somethings are being looked at for the roles because they're expected to grow into their roles through multiple movies (Ha!). It is confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt that DC faves Ryan Reynolds, Brandon Routh, Christian Bale, and Jessica Biel will have nothing to do with this mess; and good for them if the movie's looking like what its looking like.

More Wonderfully Bad News:

As for the fate of Wonder Woman, WB is going back on their rather sexist statement about not allowing any more female lead flicks from their side of the planet including Wonder Woman. Well now they're saying if JL does well enough, she'll get her film after all. Since the film will blow (see above), we'll never see a movie based on Diana. I wonder what of the fates of Bale and Routh if the movie does do well? Will they be replaced by a hot new young Supes and Bats?

Dark days for us DC fans ahead.

I guess DC can only give us good movies every few decades. I'll be waiting.

Actually, nah.

Got some pretty good stuff coming up.

The Dark Knight, and The New Frontier animated movie.

We can always trust Bruce Timm and his gang to give us hot stuff, and Dark Knight is looking like the last great live action movie for DC in a while. Even The Batman and Legion of Superheroes are giving quality on the animation front, while Smallville is in its seventh year. What's going on in the feature film department?

Shit, they should just scrap the JLA movie until they can get everyone to appear in their respective roles.

Better yet, after The Dark Knight, they should do the JLA movie with the big names and keep it relatively short (85 - 90 minutes). Then in the movie, there should be events and characters that lead to sequels for Batman and Superman and movies for the others. Basically, the JLA movie should be movie canon, I guess, complete with references in future movies.

In a perfect world.

More Than Meets the Bat:

Josh Duhamel, who we all know really doesn't want that premium package in Transformers, has read for the Batman in the JLA project. I don't know if anyone ever seen this guy in interviews but he's a bit of a geek himself who would tackle the one part other actors kept clear from.

Look Up, In the Sky...:

WB has confirmed that Brandon Routh will be Superman again... as soon as they find new writers. The old writing team (Michael Dougherty/Dan Harris) who are Bryan Singer's wingmates have expressed that they won't be doing another Superman. Although Bryan himself isn't spoken about, I'm sure he won't be returning as well. Hell, this may be what the franchise needed. In any case, I'm just glad to know Routh is still the Man of Steel, but how will two active movie Supermen work?

Kal-L and Kal-El.

Good, I was really worrying they were gonna scrap the \S/ franchise altogether. Routh was awesome as Superman, and it'd be damn sad to see his work ignored for some cheap cash-grab like the JLA movie.

Kal-El, Meet Kal-L...:

Rupert Evans (Hellboy) has been rumored to be filling the boots of Justice League's Superman. He's appearently beefing up as we speak, and read for the part for Singer's Superman Returns in the past (and almost got the part).

Its interesting you mention the Multiverse, its a big part of DC's lore and could be used to explain different variations of the same character. Taking Smallville into consideration, WB/DC could turn a confusing production into a huge live action-comic event.

Eye Wonder Who She Is...:

Teresa Palmer is a 'favorite' for the role of Amazon ass-kickin demi-goddess Wonder Woman in JL. Never heard of her. Pretty though.

http://ifmagazine.com/graphics/unsor...r_sue_9873.jpg http://floweringowl.canalblog.com/im...nder_woman.png

You don't really think WB is sexist for not putting out Wonder Woman, do you?

They've took risks on crap before, its just interesting that they give a project a red light based on the sex of the leading role. A superheroine about female empowerment would pull in comic fanboys and chicks all at once, and that don't happen often.

I swear you're on drugs.

Swearing's bad.

Who Wants Iced Mochas?:

David Dobkin (Director, The Wedding Crashers) is on tap to bring us The Flash after JL. It will be based in the same universe as JL and be treated as a spin-off. Also, Wally West will be the Scarlet Speedster in the solo flick, so its safe to West will be the Flash in JL instead of the reported Barry Allen. Then again, a certain famous comic book death put Wally in the boots of Barry so...

I'd normally have something pessimistic to say about hiring a comedy director for the Flash movie, but then I remembered that Raimi was best known for doing cheesy horror flicks before Spider-Man, and those (the first 2 at least) turned out pretty damn good.

Oh, and evidently the Green Lantern flick is rising up from out of development hell yet again:

So it looks like we might be seeing Hal after all.

Superman returns fucking sucked.

...and what exactly does that have to do with the Flash/Green Lantern movies?

Green Lantern is one of the characters I'd actually like to see on the Silver Screen.

I could take or Leave the Flash. Mostly leave. And Wonder Woman. And most of the guys in this thread. But still.

Oh yea? Well... Techno Man sucked balls!!

How about that?

***Tekno

...

You win yet again, Kane. But there will be a dawn to wash away the Knight.

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

wow

Ledger Keeps A Mad Journal:

Heath Ledger has been taking great strides in his role as the Joker in the upcoming Dark Knight: He's been keeping a diary since before shooting began on what kind of person Mr. J really is. The contents include things the Joker would find funny (like AIDS).

Ca-ray-zeeee...

He didn't even intend to reveal it appearently; word is he was caught with it. Guess you gotta be a little madhouse to play one.

My God, WB:

Singer is said to be off the 'Returns sequel with other projects keeping him busy (I knew it). Whatever, my past review spoke of how his muted directing hurt the first movie.

But get this this: Brandon Routh, who I've been a strong supporter of as Supes, may be off the sequel as well. Most likely replaced by the Superman they cast in JLA (I f'n knew that, too).

As far as JLA and the next Superman is concerned; I wash my hands of them. Despite a string of news that made them look worse and worse, I kept up a good face while relaying the news. Though I will still pass on all the news from IGN and SuperheroHype concerning those movies, I've officially lost interest. Congrats WB, you turned off a comic-geek/Superman fan. How'd ya do it?

Meh. I can wait twenty years or so for them to finally reboot the Superman movie franchise with a kickass movie.
