Yeah. Not sure how I feel about that.

Kalyx triaD 06-14-2011 06:32 PM

I'm gonna be 'that guy' and say Clark looks to handsome.

Otherwise a great pic, nice to see things moving on.

Lock Jaw 06-14-2011 06:40 PM

Nah, I was thinking that too Kalyx. Don't know the context of the picture though. Not gonna judge anything yet.

LuigiD 06-15-2011 11:53 AM

Apparently some of the first reviews for GL have hit. They range from awful to mediocre.

Kalyx triaD 06-15-2011 06:00 PM

We may have guessed as much.

Lara Emily 06-15-2011 06:46 PM

I'm shocked lol!

Trailers were fucking awful

Boondock Saint 06-15-2011 07:11 PM

The other "Man of Steel" news lately has been a photo making the rounds this week of Henry Cavill and Amy Adams seemingly in character. As soon as it appeared though it was quickly shot down, the shot revealed to be a screen capture from the recently finished long-running "Smallville" with Cavill and Adams' heads superimposed over Tom Welling and Erica Durance's.

Boondock Saint 06-15-2011 07:12 PM

Also supposedly Russell Crowe in talks for Jor-El

That makes sense, production shouldn't have started yet.

fucking awesome. I could care less about the distracting CGI 3-D stuff. Had funny dialogue too.. Wayy up there with the humor of Iron Man. Stay during the end credits castlist cos there's an extra ending with Sinestro...

Hal Jordan by Ryan Reynolds is almost as cocky and a prick like Tony Stark.. His humor too. :P I loved the part where he tried reciting the Lantern Corps oath when he tried on the Green ring by quoting, "TO INFINITY AND BEYOND ALA TOY STORY TO HE-MAN, "BY THE POWER OF GRAY--- WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO SAY?!?!" LOLZ moment.

And stay for the start of the end credits roll, another scene for a sequel involving,
SPOILER: show
Sinestro and the yellow ring forged by the guardians to defeat Parallax the main villain.


10/10.

Full marks from that guy pretty much means it's shit.

Vastardikai 06-17-2011 03:08 AM

Went to a midnight screening.

It was a CGI-fest, but it almost had to be because of the nature of the film.

Reynolds was solid as Jordan. I do buy him as more of a Flash, but that's just me.

I actually enjoyed it, but that's because I'm a Green Lantern nerd. And, the theater was packed.

Lock Jaw 06-20-2011 08:31 PM

100 Bullets gonna possibly be a TV Show:

Quote:

Deadline reports that David S. Goyer is attached to write and executive produce an adaptation of the Vertigo crime series for Showtime. Warner Bros. Television is producing.

I know a lot of people loved 100 Bullets. Did not care for it myself, and will probably pass on the TV Series unless I start hearing great things about it.

Miotch 06-20-2011 09:01 PM

What's the source on that? I just want to pass it along to a friend.

Chris Meloni is in talks for an undisclosed role in Man of Steel. I see him as Perry White.

LuigiD 06-26-2011 09:51 AM

Must be awful being a DC fan right now. Green Lantern tanked beyond fucking belief and the whole universe is getting a reboot.

Kalyx triaD 06-26-2011 09:58 AM

Dark Knight Rises next year. DC Animated DVDs hasn't fucked up yet. DC still got TV on lock. It's all good for the most part.

Bleh.

Kalyx triaD 06-26-2011 07:50 PM

Alright I'm digging Superman. Batman looks like the Arkham Asylum version so that's alright. Diana needs her gold and stars but whatever her wardrobe is a shuffle these days. Who does Arthur sleep with to stay on the team?

Is there an HD version of the pic? I need it for my collection.

Lock Jaw 06-26-2011 08:01 PM

Digging Superman's new look = YOUR OPINIONS ARE MOOT :foc:


/Overblown Internet Reaction

Kalyx triaD 06-26-2011 08:06 PM

Superman's belt needs to be yellow (or I guess gold now).

Kalyx triaD 06-27-2011 09:42 PM

Kevin Conroy, otherwise known as the one true god damn Batman, tweeted that he's not retiring his voice work as Batman.

Why the hell are you calling her Diana? It is fucking Wonder Woman. Not only that you call the dudes by their super hero names, but her by her "real name?" Why don't you say Clark (or Kal-El)) and Bruce?[/flipping out]

Kalyx triaD 06-27-2011 11:00 PM

Wonder Woman seems more like a hassle to write; two cap'd letters, a space. Batman and Superman kinda rolls off the fingers. In regard to titles, I will formally spell out Wonder Woman.

I'm sorry it bothers you. If it makes you feel any better, fuck off.

lol seriously

Superman should never be in anything resembling armor.

That's like putting a tank inside a tank.

Fignuts 06-27-2011 11:05 PM

Wonder Woman doesn't look bad, it just doesn't fit her, really. Nothing fits her outside of the classic, imo. That costume would be great for donna troy or wonder girl though.

Aquaman and flash look alright.

Cyborg looks like a crappy 90's x-force villain.

I don't think it's armor so much as 'Kryptonian tech', though he wouldn't need that either.

It just struck me as weird.

BigDaddyCool 06-28-2011 12:06 AM

Also Flash's boots...they look armored but he is wear spandex everywhere else. He should be wearing nikes or something.

Kalyx triaD 06-28-2011 12:11 AM

Nikes would probably tear up after a few 1000 miles a minute.

Nowhere Man 06-28-2011 12:59 AM

Just noticed, apart from all of the people who don't have cowls sporting high-collars, now they all have the same kind of V-shaped belts. Which just screams "all of these costumes were designed by the same guy."

I know I'm still going on bitching and moaning about the redesigns, but it seriously annoys me how willing DC is to throw away 70+ years of iconography that's embedded into the popular unconscious, just because Jim Lee thinks these costumes look cooler.

Kalyx triaD 06-28-2011 01:17 AM

You didn't think that way about high boots, capes, and external underwear?

Nowhere Man 06-28-2011 01:23 AM

To be fair, the only guys who had the external underwear and stuck with it were Superman and Batman. And at least then they were all designed by different people, even if all of those different people were just trying to rip off Siegel and Shuster.

They still have the out lines of external underwear.


(Not solely directed at Kaylx) Also...Superman and Batman are the only guys to really have underwear and capes for top named heroes. How come the mass conscientiousness thinks of all heroes as caped crusaders? No top name Marvel heroes come to mind as caped heroes...except maybe Storm, and that is maybe, she is a leader of the X-Men, but not the reason anyone buys the books.

Kalyx triaD 06-28-2011 10:00 AM

Marvel wasn't as big on capes as DC.

Superman
Batman
Robin
Supergirl
Powergirl
Huntress
Captain Marvel
Dr Fate
Martian Manhunter
Diana (on occasion)
Raven
...Maybe more.

And only Batman was known as the Caped Crusader, to my knowledge.

Most of those people are attached to Batman or Superman, and aren't the top billed. But if you are reading Batman and Superman team up books, you are going to get lots of capes and underwears.

Another aside, supergirl, batgirl, and the other girl versions of superheroes should wear thongs on the outside of their costumes.
