News On Future Films Based on Comics/Paranormal/Sci-Fi

For a comic book fan, you really have no imagination. If they use a new actor for Batman, you really can't separate him from Bale? You won't be able to comprehend that it is a new Batman and that his characteristics are the one we know from the comic? You can't see how Lois can fit int he film when the story is wide open right now? Really? We have no plot or anything and you can't picture Lois in the film? Then again you couldn't imagine how Bats could help Superman so I am not surprised you can't see any other possibilities with other characters.


And yes Lois is confirmed to be back and FIshburne and Lane.

All I'm saying is by 2015 we'll only be 3 years removed from Nolan's batman trilogy and seeing how it is ranked so highly amongst people as THE best comic book film I don't think it's a wise choice for WB/DC to completely abandon that world Nolan created. Yes batman is already established but the fact that they're throwing him in a movie with superman when it was never alluded to in MoS, throwing together a script that was probably just started yesterday and saying we have to cast a batman is almost a slap in the face. DC is basically saying, "we can make avengers money too! See look its batman and superman together!" Where was the anticipation? There not even using an established batman so I'm assuming we'll get the "world's greatest detective" batman who should definitely be useful to superman :rolleyes

I don't get why DC is rushing their whole comic crossover film. They should use the time to flesh their characters out more. More movie Easter eggs to build up anticipation. Marvel clearly is on a roll so I don't get why DC doesn't stay in their own lane till they can get a legit reason for these guys to team up.

And the reason I say I can't see Lois in the film is because of her character in the first MoS. It was already a kinda underdeveloped character in the film but it was still enough to give her character a purpose. How do you split camera time between superman and batman and still have time to develop a romance on film cause I know damn well Lois is not helping em fight....I guess Snyder will show us

I'm glad you've been following my posts to know I've been crying about everything. How about hopping off my **** for a minute and remove whatever attachment you have for the Superman seties and look at it from a non biased viewpoint. Beyond the issue of Superman not being Superman, critics killed the movie as well as a number of people on social networking sites. Are they crying too? The movie had no focus. It was literally all over the place. Superman Returns was more cohesive than Hack Snyder's vision. Returns would easily be the better film if it had a better script.

Yes, they are crying too. My post referred to some of the complaints that have been made. We had a guy here on NT complaining because Clark's disguise was glasses. 75 years, multiple movies, tv shows, comics, that's been his disguise. So THIS movie sucks, cuz glasses. :lol:

I should look at it non biased? I should? Cuz that's what you're doing? :lol:
You don't get it, I have no bias. I don't care about DC, Marvel, this comic or that comic. I simply watch a lot of movies. I could care less who or what does good. If it sucks, I'll say it sucks. X3, Green Lantern, etc.

This wasn't that. This was quite simply the best Superman movie ever made. Period.

So to ALREADY be crying about a Supes/Bat collab, makes zero sense. That's just pure hating rather than actually waiting to see how it goes. But whatever, we already know what you'll say when it comes out.
 
honestly i feel DC has potential to have great films, way better than all the marvel movies. If they just take the L for these years to come. DC doesn't have to duke it out with marvel they should just focus on whats at hand and develop good story arcs for their Universe and make some movies with substance and once they're ready basically sh-- on marvel after all this phase 2-3 yada yada thing is over.

DC has to move on, it is not a rush, it is just the next phase. People are too stuck with Nolans Batverse but there is nothing else into that, they can't milk that cow anymore. It is over, it is done, people need to move. W/o Nolan, any films afterwards will just disappoint in that world plus no other heroes could exist in that universe. So yes this is what DC is doing, moving on. They have been saying all along that MoS is a way to open up the world for other heroes/villains to exist so accept that.

And why can't you imagine Lois int he film? It makes no sense to me. Helping them fight doesn't mean she has to be in the front line. So what if she was underdeveloped? Why would that prevent you from thinking of a way to incorporate her in the film?

How are they going to split screen time between Batman and Superman? How did Whedon do it with the Avengers? How did Singer do it with the XMen? How did Vaughn do it in 1st Class? This isn't the first time an ensemble team has been attempted, it has been done and done successfully at that. And this is just between two people in this film, both with established backgrounds and origins.


As for GotG, you haven't seen a single footage, just a very vague description of what they showed and it already looks like "Star Wars mixed with sex"? Yet you can't imagine a scenario where Batman would help Superman and how to fit Lois in the next film? Marvel fanboy at it's finest folks. :lol:
 
WoW. I guess Ultron might evolve from Jarvis? Makes sense with all the suits in IM3.

Joss Whedon Says THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Will Be An Origin Story; Confirms No Hank Pym

Joss Whedon confirms that the movie shares only a title with the comic book event, and will instead be a totally original story. However, it WON'T feature Hank Pym and it sounds as if he will be a creation of Iron Man's! Hawkeye is also set to have a much larger role in the "global" sequel. Read on for details!

Marvel caught up with Joss Whedon (what follows is my own transcription of their conversation as it has yet to be released officially after airing just moments ago on their live blog) at the San Diego Comic-Con to talk all things The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Surprisingly, the writer and director revealed a lot more than any of us may have expected! After saying that he always wanted to use Ultron as the villain in a sequel, Whedon would go on to clear up some misconceptions that the title has caused.

"Well, because there was a book called 'Age of Ultron' quite recently, a lot of people have assumed that is what we're doing, but that is not the case. We're doing our own version of the origin story for Ultron. In the origin story, there was Hank Pym, so a lot of people assumed that he will be in the mix. He's not. We're basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the wayside."

So, if Hank Pym doesn't create Ultron, who does? Well, Tony Stark seems to be the most obvious candidate, especially after Iron Man 3 showed that he had managed to create sentient versions of his armour.

"We're crafting our own version of it where his origin comes more directly from The Avengers we already know about. It's a little bit darker than the other film because Ultron is in the house. There's a science fiction theme that wasn't there in the other one. Ultron is definitely something that evolves, so we're going to get together a couple of different iterations. Nothing can be translated exactly as it was from the comics; particularly Ultron."

Finally, he was asked about the scale of the movie and which character he is most enjoying writing and revealed:

"It's very much a global Avengers film. A lot of the movie has to do with their place not just in America, but the world. Part of the fun for me, definitely this time around, is writing Hawkeye. He did get possessed pretty early by a bad guy and had to walk around all scowly for most of the movie so now it's nice to actually have the character there and see him interact with the other guys."

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Is The Most Important Lead-In For AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Brothers and co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo discuss their upcoming film, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" with the Huffington Post and state that the events of their film are the most important in terms of heading into "Avengers: Age of Ultron." Said Joe Russo, "There's a very strong connection in the narrative between the events of the end of "Avengers" that drive this film -- and there's a very strong hand off to "Avengers 2" at the end of this movie. And Kevin Feige's whole thing is that this is the biggest bridge of all of Phase 2 movies; it really is. It does involve the most amount of Avengers of any of the films in Phase 2, and it has sort of a, you know, there's a very big shift in the universe at the end of this movie."

An interesting development/revelation. In terms of headcount, the film boasts the most number of Avengers team members in Captain America, Falcon and Black Widow. And who knows where the Winter Soldier's loyalties may lie by the time the film's closing credits roll.

Kevin Feige On Vin Diesel Meeting, "There's Nothing To Announce With Vin

"Well, here's what I will tell you about Vin. And I'll be very honest with you. We did a press day on the "Captain America" set last week or something. The very first question was, "So how did the meeting with Vin Diesel go?" I went, "Here's the funny thing, it hasn't happened yet. It happens at 3 p.m. today." And they went, "Oh, really?" And it did and he came by and met. So, I'll say two things: One, there's nothing to announce with Vin. Vin is an amazing guy and an amazing personality."

Feige also says that no announcements will be made about Vin's role at Disney's upcoming D23 Expo next month. When specifically asked, Feige replied, "No. It's so far ahead it may not even exist. So, there's nothing to announce. But, I love Vin and he's an amazing personality. Look how much attention he's gotten for a meeting. He's incredibly shrewd. He's got a Riddick movie that I can't wait to see. And the "Fast & Furious" franchise, in addition to Vin, is a franchise I admire a lot for turning the sixth and next year the seventh into the biggest and most popular one. As far as a piece of it? Could someday we do a "Luke Cage: Hero for Hire" in that kind of vein. Totally."

I figured it'd be relation in name only. No way Whedon was adapting what Bendis just did.

I was looking forward to Vin doing Ultron's voice though but we shall see.

Not agreeing with a lot of this Supes talk on both sides. If MOS was the best Supes film then I guess the rest must've really sucked. MOS could've been better. Film is so polarizing it really can't be the best. As for all this doubting for the sequel with Bats, it's too early to hate. They're gonna James bond Batman, no problem there. It's time to forget about Nolan's Batman and hopefully look forward to a better one. Lois will fit in to the film fine. Just look at any Batman/Superman cartoon crossover.

My fears are simply that TDKR being alluded to in that line. Yall think the problem is fitting in that but I think that's just a ploy to get fans hype with Goyer writing I expect that line to be the least of anybody's worries. There probably won't even be much of a thematic connection to TDKR. Also I get the feeling they're really gonna put the plot armor on Bats for this, I figure Supes will be even more unwilling to kill and use real force to fight him cuz of killing Zod and it'll really make Batman look good.
 
Sure, MOS could be better, no where have I said it was a perfect film, its just flat out better than the Donner films. Those are so outdated its ridiculous. If not for the score, 1978 would make the Clooney Batman look like Batman Begins. :lol:

The overall themes of those movies were so dumbed down its insulting. MOS at least tried to open people's eyes, but apparently people wanted more Daily Planet and a more fleshed out Jimmy Olsen, then MOS woulda been on to something. :smh:

Either way, I'm excited to see the next step for everyone. Wolverine, Thor, Cap, XMen DoFP, GotG, Avengers 2, Bat/Supes, Ant Man, Flash, Justice League + whatever else drops. Next four years should be a lot of fun. No matter what complaints are absolutely sure to follow.

The fact of the matter is DC is doing this as a response to marvel. They've never been this adamant about bridging together a cinematic universe til marvel started theirs. I can accept that they're going about it their own way but they're just doing too much too soon
 
So Antman won't be in the 2nd Avengers movie. Sucks for him since he's an original member. Guess he'll have to wait for the 3rd one. Are they planning to make more than 3 Avengers movies?

I didn't know anything about GotG until the movie was announced but since then i've seen them make appearances in cartoons and I like the cast. I'm looking forward to it more than the other Marvel films.

What are you talking about? Fact? :lol: There have been maybe 5-8 different JLA projects that didn't pan out? Even way before Avengers was even in Marvels books. Hell a Superman/Batman film was one of the next projects that was scrapped before Nolan made Batman Begins. That was in what, 2005? Plans might have been made since early 2000s. You know how many hands the latest Batman franchise went to before Nolan even took the helm? Aronofsky was attached to one too and plenty of scripts were made.

There have been numerous Wonder Woman projects, hell Whedon was set to direct and write one, there are also a handful of failed TV pilot. DC has been in the cusp of making Superhero films and were way, way more successful than Marvel. DC has been doing it with Burtons Batmans since the lates 80's/90's, almost a decade before Marvel movies were successful with Blade and XMen which started it for this generation.

DC just hasn't expanded to their other characters because well, they aren't as famous. #1 & #2 are usually Superman and Batman in popularity but after that, it is mostly Marvel especially now with IM, Thor, etc.. popularity has increased with their films.

Stop with the Marvel homerism, it is too obvious with your replies and you have admitted it. :lol: Before this thing was announced everyone were going batsh*t crazy for a JLA film or a Superman/Batman film after seeing the billboard on I Am Legend and now that DC tried to out trump Marvel with a bigger film it's a sh*tstorm and they are going too fast or aren't doing what Marvel is doing. There are plenty of successful franchise that didn't go the Marvel route of fleshing people out, the same way everyone wants a dark film with Nolans Batverse, now everyone wants what Marvel is doing because of Avengers. Just let them do what they want and complain afterwards if it's a failure.

Again, DC could have just jumped on a JLA film if they really want to just to capitalize and compete with Marvel, but they aren't. Trust me, I have very little trust in DC especially if Goyer is involved but outside of GL & SR, the TDK trilogy and MoS film were good and they made plenty of money from it and are considered very successful. I liked Watchmen a lot too. 5 out 7 isn't bad at all, hell SR wasn't a blockbuster but they made some money from that too. How about we just wait and see.

And how would that prove your point? A2 is guarranteed a billion and if Supes/Bats film makes $800mil, how does that prove this statement to be true?

?? I'm not understanding what you're saying except that avengers 2 is guaranteed a billi

Marvel ensemble film will be more highly anticipated then the team up of the #1 and #2 superheroes in comics

Well seem to be trying to prove a point of sorts but it is all over the place. First you can't imagine a situation where Bats would help Supes and then you can't picture Lois in the sequel. All in the while praising GotG in which you have seen nothing off. And then for some reason, it became "DC is in a rush" and would prefer easter eggs than a full movie and then "DC is only doing this because of Marvel" and that "DC never wanted to expand their world before until Marvel did". And then you say these "facts" when it isn't even true.

And then you say A2 vs Worlds Finest in the box office and "wait & see"? And what will A2 prove if they win in the Box Office? What did Avengers prove when it beat TDKR?

I just do not get what you are trying to get at other than finding every little to complain about when it involves DC comic characters and Superman. Saying I hate Superman and wish it fails would have sufficed if that is what you are trying to get at. :lol:

Ive been looking and waiting. Really hard to find them, I remember last year the MoS trailer took a while to leak and the IM3 trailer never did.
 
As a comic book fan, I'm pleased as punch about all this news. I just hope every movie gives me that dark knight level of enjoyment. I literally jumped up and down screaming yes at the World's Finest announcement. GotG sounds great so far. Just hope these movies are great.

yup... this marvel vs dc is stupid
 
^^ exactly. All this is put here for our enjoyment. Just sit back and enjoy it.

And to the people complaining about how kryptonite will just randomly show up (not sure if y'all complained but I did see it somewhere) can't a meteor shower occur at the beginning of the film, having pieces of irradiated krypton falling onto earth? Like its that simple. Now why bats or say the big bad ( I think Luthor) would use it on supes without knowing how it works...

Good theory. I didn't even think of that. The Ultron origin can definitely work this way. But it's just weird without Pym. I mean, when we finally see the Ant Man film, shouldn't his creation of Ultron be one the major accomplishments that is associated with his character? Maybe Whedon is throwing a smoke screen?

I really hope we see an updated Thor 2 and a teaser Cap 2 trailer soon.

Can't blame 'em. Better strike whilst the iron is hot. And of course DC is going to respond to Marvel, they're rivals after all. Can't expect them to just sit this one out while their rival is pullin' in big bucks.

Though I'm a DC guy, I'd say Avengers 2 might win this one out. But it would be close. The curiosity factor might play a big role for MoS II.
