I'm with you on this. If ever there was guy who should get knocked out by one punch from Batman, it's Ryan Reynolds.

Doomsday is a big enough draw to be his own movie.

Is there a chance they'll do the black guy Green Lantern?

There's a fan outcry for Idris to be Jon Stewart. On Twitter he said he's down.

There is talk of a live action young justice TV show. So it might not be fully dead.

I have heard no talk about that whatsoever.

Only rumor's yet my friend, but they are out there.

Just can't see them doing that live action. Too many characters, too much special effects.

Not happening.

On the subject of Jason Momoa, y'know who he'd be a great fit for? Mongul.

Think about it: Mongul is a simple enough villain that you don't need to spend a whole lot of time on development, but still awesome enough to be a threat. He's powerful enough that you'd need more than just Superman to take him down, but not on the level of a Darkseid who would need the whole League. Plus, the whole War-World gladiator arena thing would be a convenient way to have Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman fight without making one of them look like the bad guy.

That or do an adaptation of "For the Man Who Has Everything," where Mongul has Superman trapped in a trance where he thinks he's living on Krypton (which would allow more time with Russell Crowe and the movie-verse's awesome version of Krypton) while Batman and Wonder Woman fight for their lives and try to snap Clark out of it. That could be goddamn amazing.

My theory on the sequel: the movie opens with the world fearing Superman and the destruction he and the Kryptonian invaders caused in Metropolis. Batman captures Superman, seeing him as far too dangerous to remain among the rest of the world, using advanced technology suits and of course, kryptonite, to subdue him and hold him in cell with ultra red lighting to take away his super powers.

Doomsday comes to Earth, either as a being sent from the outer reaches of space, or more likely, as a creation of Lex Luthor's as a response to Superman's existence. Batman tries to fight him and loses miserably. His only option is to release Superman and fight him together.

Not really sure where Wonder Woman would play into this.

I need to see Ben Affleck in the suit soon, it is troubling me

Wonder Woman may appear as Bruce's girlfriend for most of the movie saving her true background for later (going by casting news). Most of the movie will deal the world's reaction to Superman and the Battle of Metropolis, where Lex finds an opening to push his humanitarian efforts (and also his anti-alien agendas). I imagine Lex's machinations will have Bruce come to town. Knowing Skyder, we'll probably get a proper Mercy Graves on screen. Not to mention we need a human Dragon for Bruce to tango with.

I highly doubt Doomsday will factor so soon. With Lex in there, perhaps Metallo or even Parasite could be used. Somebody born from the super-science Lex is associated with.

I really don't want them to just use Wonder Woman as arm-candy for Supes or Batman. It just seems really, well, wrong for the world's most famous super-heroine to finally get her time to shine on the big screen, only to show up as somebody's girlfriend.

Actually, a fight with Metallo would be a great choice for WW to make her debut, since his Kryptonite weaponry would be too much for Superman, and his, y'know, being-an-indestructible-killer-cyborg would be too much for Batman to handle, so they'd need a heavy-hitter who isn't affected by the K.

How do people know he's affected by Kryptonite?

I'd assume that would be established early in the movie--say, there's some leftover debris from Zod's World Engine in the first movie that somehow got irradiated, and Superman stumbles across it while helping rebuild Metropolis. Then Lex Luthor (assuming he's in the movie) watches Superman's reaction to it and weaponizes it later in the movie.

Latest "rumours" have Denzel Washington being "considered" for the role of Green Lantern in this movie.

lol

Maybe they are just going to spring last minute that this is actually a Justice League movie

I'll give them the benefit of simply having a lot of cameos and easter eggs. Otherwise, this is really sounding like a JL movie.

There was early rumors of Denzel being up for Lex Luthor.

So again I believe no rumors when it comes to this movie.


Honestly Denzel as Green Lantern or Lex Luthor wouldn't be bad however.

I hope Ryan Reynolds returns.
:shifty:

Everyone talks about how Reynolds would have been a better Guy Gardner, but I don't think so. For one thing, his look resembles Hal a lot more than Guy. Secondly, when Gardner gets serious, he portrays more of a rugged toughness, which I dunno if Reynolds can pull off. He did fine in scenes that called for Hal to be serious. He was especially good in the finale of the battle with Paralax.

Finally, I think a lot of people are more familiar with post-rebirth Hal, who is a mature, veteran superhero. In the early days of GL though, he was arrogant and cocky which suits Reynolds perfectly.

So yeah, I don't think the casting was off. I don't think the movie deserves all the hate it gets either. I don't think it was even bad. There was just too many other hero flicks being released that were better, tbh.

I would never defend something by saying their were too many better contenders besides it.

Well regardless, I still enjoyed it.

Only thing I didn't really like was that the suit looked crappy when he was just standing around. In motion in looked good.

Also anyone ever think that Ryan Reynolds hurt the movie?

Hate to do the whole overrated thing, but Ryan Reynolds is overrated. I like him, and he is funny, but I don't find him to be a Leading man.

I kinda don't want him to be Deadpool anymore tbh.

Hearing a rumor that The Rock might be John Stewart

lol No.

Read a terrible "rumour" about Wonder Woman's origins in this movie world. Hope it isn't true.

Y'all gonna link on this rumour, or what.

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/batman-vs...html?.tsrc=att

still an unsubstantiated claim at this point

i am spending most of my last sub-25,000 posts on you, blitz, and i would not have it any other way

Ya would be dumb. Seems like they'd be throwing a bunch of character possibilities away if true, but given that we're still a ways away from any kind of substantiated claim on anything regarding this flick, I'll take it with a generous grain of salt.

Luv u though :heart:

Honestly seems like a pretty decent explanation of how the amazonians came about. I'd bet money that if it was in some elseworlds book, a lot of the people bitching would be praising it as genius.

Yeah I actually like the remix. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It keeps a lot of the tenets and tropes of the Amazonian culture, without adhering to their mythology - which might have been a lot to digest given the tone of what the DC Cinematic Universe may evolve into.

It's a very smart remix. Yes, I would have liked to see how they would make her comic origins work but if it's gotta change then we have a fucking winner.

Godammit Kal! I wanted to be the first to come in here and trumpet the smarkness of this idea.

Seriously, DC (and for the most part Nolan) wanted to ground as much of their superheroes in reality as possible. The fact that The Fortress of Solitude is an abandoned ship (that had a birthing chamber) didn't bother anyone at all...This is a smart way to explain amazons, it is a smart way to explain why they are/were secluded from humanity, but it shouldn't be used as a way to depower Diana. She is always on par with Supes. He needs Wonder Woman to be Powerful just as much as female readers do.

The only way I'd accept them depowering Wondy is if they use it to strike a 'happy medium' between Superman and Batman, i.e. Supes is all power but no skill, Batman is all skill but no power, so Wonder Woman would be the ideal balance between both.
