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

Old man batman is what's needed to not make it, well, old. It also completely separates this batman from the last one. It also makes sense that this batman would have all the gadgets and stuff now. Dude now has the answer to everything due to experience and, brace yourself, prep time.

I feel you on this, but wouldn't 10 years making him 35 be a little better than 20 years making him 45??

I'm pretty sure he should be burnt out by 45 and worn down quite a bit. I thought it would've been perfect if we got the just pre new-52 era batman which is :pimp:

Well yes and no. Yes in a realistic sense but no because this is batman, aka the perfect human :lol: Age isn't the same for him. He's just now reached his most interesting man in the world age.

I get this and it is partially true. I think on one hand it's cuz we haven't ever got Batman in his prime in a shared DC universe. I don't think old Bats will hamper things that much though.

I think another approach would be a legit young Batman. A Zero Year and/or Batman Year One Bats where he isn't the prepGOD that he is now. One that struggles and becomes the unstoppable guy we all know. Maybe a few decades down the line when they do another reboot.

Damn, so this means Batman will be 50 by the time the Justice League movies are out. Not sure how I feel about that.

I think I dig mid-late 30s Batman better but we were all aware of Zack Snyder's TDKR boner.

Batman will be the grandpa of the Justice League as opposed to the paranoid wild card :lol:

I believe in Ben Affleck though.

Yeah I've only noticed with the MCU that some of the films actually happen years apart and they acknowledge that years have passed.
 
BvS is practically a JL prequel so I wouldn't be surprised if JL picks up right at the end of BvS.
 
     What did they do wrong in your opinion?

Not to start this argument again but Marvel claimed to let directors do what they want, yet so many of their directors deny that entirely. Joss Whedon, Jon Favreux, the female director who was supposed to direct Thor 2 (with Natalie Portman's support), and Edgar Right.

Making Joss jump through hoops to keep the hawkeye ranch scene. Had to toss in a Thor 3 trailer in the movie amongst other things :smh:
 
I heard Thor 2 was such a train wreck due to the push to include more Portman :x

Thor the movie with a push to include more of the side characters??? :x

Batman burnt out at 45? Naah, he's still got another 10 years in him at least. Hell the Batman Beyond Bruce was fighting crime till he was like 60 if I recall.

The ranch scene was what Joss wanted. The Thor taking a bath scene was what Joss had to keep so he can keep the barn scenes.

There's a difference between giving a director creative freedom and carte blanche with allowing them to do w/e the **** they want with the story. Marvel never actually said we let our directors do w/e they want with the story sight unseen, no supervision. To believe that is to be beyond gullible and is pretty idiotic to then try to call them out when something leaks about what a director wasn't allowed to do.

The problem with this argument there's nothing to compare it to. You use a little of what was leaked out there about what the studio tells the director he can and can't do but there's no bigger picture. It's never fully laid out there everything the director wanted to do and pitched to producers that they had to shut down. None of those directors named are free from having bad ideas. No studio is going to let a director do w/e they want with their property whether it's harmful or not just because they told them they had creative freedom. It makes no sense.

Cuz if they did there'd just be even more complaining about terrible movies and wondering why the studio let the director/writer(s) make such trash.

Imagine if that Batman as a mechanic movie actually got made :smh: :lol: I mean **** look at Superman Returns.

Seems these things are never approached with any rationality. Just another thing to complain about.
 
I didn't mind the Thor dream sequences at all, I just think the scenes failed because the source material (the Thor movie series) has been irredeemably awful

It's wasn't a big deal because the entire movie was just a random blur of fight scenes and trailers :lol: I mean at that point what's one more out of place event?

Batman's Role in Suicide Squad is Even More Crucial Than We Thought

The recent Suicide Squad footage gave us a glimpse of Batman’s cameo in the film—but there’s even more to it than we realized. A new interview with Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder and his collaborators has revealed a lot more about how these films will connect up.

Snyder and company spoke to Empire Magazine (which is where you get the photo above, these, and some new ones below) about the entirety of the DC movie universe, how the films link up, how they’re being constructed, and specifics about multiple story points in Batman v Superman. Here are the highlights.

Minor spoilers follow.

Batman is the one who personally captured every single member of the Suicide Squad and in the trailer, we’re seeing a flashback to how he captured Harley Quinn. (No mention if he gets the Joker, too.)

Justice League was the jumping off point for this whole DC universe idea. “What we are doing is ground up all the way. It is one giant story,” Snyder said. “The first thing we had was the Justice League concept. The other movies, in a way, have to support that. That is our Wonder Woman, our Aquaman. They have their own creative concepts that supports them, but they do serve Justice League in the coming together of those heroes. I want all the other directors of the other films to be able to stretch their legs and do what they want, but at the same time there is a big interconnected universe. I have given everyone amazing access to our story, to me, and what we are doing. All the films have like-minded conceptual jumping on points.”

Batman will have a lot of history to him. “We are playing him 45 or 46” years old, Snyder said. “He has been Batman for 20 years. All the history is there. Was there a Robin at one time? Possibly. We want to assume that Batman has reached this point in his life and career as a superhero, and Superman represents a sort of philosophical change. He is a paradigm shift for Batman: ‘I’ve been fighting criminals all my life, trying to find justice, and now I am confronted with a concept that is transcendent to me.’ In the face of Superman, a man robbing a bank doesn’t matter. He’s having a crisis of conscience. ‘Am I really just a vigilante who stalks the alleys of Gotham?’ It is rich stuff that he deals with. Ben does an amazing job.”

The Batman v Superman trailer already reveals that Robin has died, but this interview strongly suggests Commissioner James Gordon will also already be dead. This would confirm a rumor that surfaced several months back.

To some, Batman may be considered the villain of Batman v Superman: “It’s a point of view thing,” said Snyder. “That is why ‘Dawn of Justice’ is the full title. What it does is allow us to start this conversation.”

Bruce Wayne will not be living in Wayne Manor in Batman v Superman. He’s in a lakeside house called “The Glasshouse.”
Snyder was very intimidated at the thought of doing a Batman solo film. “If it was a Batman movie it would be a much more difficult proposition because of how good Chris’ movies are,” said Snyder. “We live in gratitude to those movies. Chris set a tone for the DC Universe, and separated us from Marvel in a great way. We are the legacy of those movies.”

Clark Kent and Lois Lane are now “shacking up” together in Metropolis.

Aquaman has an “elusive cameo” in Batman v Superman. “You will understand he exists,” Snyder said.

Interesting. Batman really has been soloing it in the DCU before Supes.

Side note... I never watched Justice League should I start out watching certain ones?
The cartoon?

Probably won't help with the movies if you watch but if you do you'll probably end up liking that way more than the film adaptation :lol:
