DC Studios THREAD - GunnVerse Begins - Chapter ONE: Gods & Monsters

[sunshineblotters]

I watched a couple episodes of this "great" season and I have to respectfully disagree with any praise of this TV show.

I will give it this. The two scientist and the one guy they keep as a shooter are way less corny in season 2.

Possible spoilers about the film

"I've told you a bunch about Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice*, but not much about Superman. I don't want to give you the impression that this is Batman's movie - it's very much a sequel to Man of Steel, and it very much follows up on stuff from that movie in big ways. In fact Chris Terrio's script - at least a draft from just before production began - deals explicitly with some fan complaints about the last Superman film.

Batman v Superman opens with Batman's origin and fast forwards to Bruce Wayne coming to Metropolis during the Superman/Zod fight, but that's just setting the stage for that character. From there the script turns its attention to Superman heavily, and it examines the implications of Superman in the real world. The main action takes place a couple of years after the end of Man of Steel, and Superman has been busy in the meantime, becoming the hero we know and love. Clark Kent and Lois Lane have moved their relationship forward to the point where they live together. Clark is still working at the Daily Planet, although it's unclear if he's loving his assignments - he's tasked with covering a Metropolis/Gotham football game when he would rather be writing about Batman.

Very early in the film Lois is in the Middle East following a story when Superman shows up to help her out. This becomes something of an international incident as other nations view Superman as a tool of the United States. China, for instance, doesn't want him in their air space. It's an interesting look at how a being like Superman would be viewed on a global scale.

What are the lessons that Superman learned from Man of Steel? Some slight spoilers follow.

When Superman confronts a big bad guy and unravels his plot, he tells the villain, "I won't snap your neck, I'm going to take you to prison," an on-the-nose response to criticisms of the first movie. Of course Superman later loses his cool and threatens to break the bad guy's back, so he hasn't quite internalized everything yet. As for being a protector of the people - when the Doomsday fight starts General Swanwick tells the military that Superman will move the battle away from populated areas because he's a hero, and that's what heroes do. Again, this is a direct response to complaints about the first film. It's also interesting to see that Swanwick, who was tracking Superman with drones at the end of Man of Steel, is such a supporter in this film. It seems that most people - except Lex Luthor and a cautious Batman, who is prepping anti-Superman weapons - believe Superman is a hero.

A caveat on this, and my previous Batman reporting - this information comes from a script that was handed in a month before principal photography began. While the broad strokes surely will make it into the film, small details like dialogue and character moments could be cut from the script or in the editing room before the movie reaches theaters."

wow I hope those lines aren't in the movie. Like a 7 year wrote those.
First rule of movies, Show Don't Tell.

 

[tay1]

Yeah, I hope those were revised.

 

[Master Zik]

:x

Making Superman sound like a cheesy 90s face turning wrestler.

@ the General explaining a simple DBZ tactic and tacking on the word hero. I guess the guy that would've said that in MOS died

Neil Gaiman Wanted Benedict Cumberbatch For SANDMAN; Now Likes Tom Hiddleston For Role

"There was a time Johnny Depp would've been a great Morpheus, but now he's too old and it's fine. I think the first time I saw Benedict [Cumberbatch] was as Sherlock Holmes, I thought, 'wow, that's incredibly Morpheus.' Tom Hiddleston is still out there, and the truth is, as far as I'm concerned, anybody who sounds English with great cheekbones can probably pull it off. With Joseph Gordon-Levitt in charge, his instincts are good and he loves the material. He wants it to be true to the material. [T]hey've written a script. I got a phone call about two, three weeks ago from Joe and David [S. Goyer] saying, 'Jack did a script, we read it, we want some things done to it. We want you to see it, but not this version. The next version will be in three weeks and then you'll be the first person to see it.' So I am now a week before seeing the script. It's going to come in just before Christmas. I'm nervous, I'm on tenterhooks. But do I have good feelings? Yeah I do."

 

[sunshineblotters]

Would Tom Huddleston be able to take the role. I thought it was a DC movie?

 

[everysingletime]

DC seems to be getting more on point with their casting. First, Suicide Squad now they want Hiddleston.

Did they change casting directors after they casted Gal?

 

[KingParappa]

Casting seems great but damn if that BvS spoiler a page back is any indication, they need better writers ASAP

 

[rfx45]

Want is different from able but if schedule permits, I don't see why not.

I don't think Sandman is in the BvS universe anyways so I don't think Marvel will be too opposed.

If Marvel wants to prevent him from doing it, I guess they could make his role in IW much, much bigger than it has ever been? I mean they start filming next year and I'd guess a Sandman film wouldn't be as big production as all these bigger than life comic films right now.

Supposedly leaked BvS trailer description from 4Chan:

As noted by The Movie News Hound, the alleged Batman vs Superman leaked trailer starts with a view of Metropolis in chaos with Ben Affleck's Batman narrating how the world has changed with the arrival of the Kryptonians. The scene changes to Ben Affleck wearing the armored Batsuit he was wearing during the leaked comic-con teaser for Batman vs Superman, he then asks if Superman is here to save us or to destroy us. The teaser ends with Ben Affleck saying "I'm going to find out" then the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice logo shows up.

EXCLUSIVE: Viola Davis Bags Amanda Waller Role In 'Suicide Squad'

BREAKING

The final superhero movie scoop of 2014!

Wanted to finish the year off strong with a scoop I been tracking for a hot minute.

According to sources, the lovely Viola Davis (How To Get Away With Murder) has bagged the role of major DC Comics villain and Prison Warden Amanda Waller in David Ayer's upcoming Suicide Squad. In the comics, Amanda Waller is a former congressional aide and government agent often placed in charge of the Suicide Squad, a semi-secret government-run group of former supervillains working in return for amnesty.

Now, the key here is that the role is hers provided that the filmmakers can work out her TV schedule, which will be no small feat considering how big of a hit How To Get Away With Murder is.

 

[everysingletime]

Lol DC stays on fire with their casting.

Pretty sure this means Marvel is going to make a casting announcement this week too

 

[ksteezy]

this **** is like the draft for the all star game

 

[shogun]

DC seems to be getting more on point with their casting. First, Suicide Squad now they want Hiddleston.

Did they change casting directors after they casted Gal?

Why? Gal is going to flourish as Wonder Woman.

Hope so. We got Ancient One rumors, one poster said he heard the CM announcement would be this week, netflix characters, etc.

Terrible actress. Like I know DC isn't even planning on having their heroes resemble the source material much but with Gal I question if they'll even be able to pull off WW being on par with Supes or Bats unless they make WW a mute warrior.

Lol DC stays on fire with their casting.

Pretty sure this means Marvel is going to make a casting announcement this week too

this **** is like the draft for the all star game

 

[tay1]

The wait for BVS better be worth it. **** is still a year and a half from RD.

 

[Master Zik]

What movies do DC have releasing next year again?

 

[law3001]

Dc casting > marvel at this point. I think qe are starting to reach a overload of superhero movies

 

[Master Zik]

Not saying much when the movies aren't better. If anything DC needs the better casting given what Marvel has done.

Doubt we're reaching a overload. The good movies will be watched and the really bad ones won't be. Wait until the year where Marvel releases 3 movies, DC releases 3, Sony has 2 and Fox has 2 as well.
