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

[big j 33]

I miss the days when people casted people who looked like the characters

No White Black Panther or Blades.
No Asian Wolverine
No Black Batman


No need to bring race into a thread about comics. Just cast the guy who looks like the character.

Preach. If we have to deal with one more Samoan Spiderman I'm going to lose my mind.

Reading this article has me ready for another Batman film series

I would love for a Batman movie series that focused on the detective aspect, and him being a sleuth . . . we've never seen Bruce/Batman going undercover for example

Also like the idea of Batman being a Bond-like franchise where there is a new film every 2-3 years . . . The OG series was probably going to be like that if Batman and Robin didn't happen

Get this man to write the script for the next Batman joint

Interesting idea. I like the Bryan Cranston part.

If Batman will take on more of a detective role, it would be interesting to see an older Bruce Wayne partner with superman. I may be the only one here saying this, but I actually see this guy being a boss Bruce Wayne.

Ironically in the article I posted, the writer suggested that this guy play Hugo Strange

He's too old. You have to keep in mind that they will move to a JLA film after this and maybe a solo Batman film after that so this new Batman will have to be young enough for the next decade or so. It would just be a big mistake having to recast another Batman after this film because an older Batman just wouldn't work for a JLA or another solo film. I don't really want to see another dilapidated Batman (even older one at that) on retirement any time soon.

 

[shaboozy]

whatever direction they decide to go with Batman, they need to make the cowl sonar a permanent piece

 

[premium3g]

I cant be the only thinking of the scene in I Am Legend....is that the same year? Better prepare yourselves people! lol

 

[cjw716]

can't wait

lol

Let White people have their heros. Not worth the argument.

Did these happen already? How can you miss something that never went away?

 

[Gill Baka Esq. LLC.]

After he was teased briefly in Man of Steel (by way of business logo on the streets of Metropolis), there's really no doubt in our minds that Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor will play a big role in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie, due out in 2015. Before we even knew whether or not the character would make a cameo in Man of Steel, fans were already suggesting actor Mark Strong for the role, even though Strong popped up as Sinestro in DC's recent Green Lantern movie. And while nothing is official yet, fans may just get their wish.

Speaking to Digital Spy about whether he may play Luthor, Strong teased, "All I can say is... watch this space." Watch this space? What space? This space? That space? Okay, so we don't know which space he's talking about, but seeing as there's no flat-out denial, Strong is either hinting at an impending announcement or he's just screwing with us. Hopefully it's the former, and hopefully his name fills that mysterious space next to the words... Lex Luthor.

If so, we dig the choice. Strong makes for a menacing villain, which he's proven on more than one occasion (Kick-***, anyone?) -- and most recently in an actual comic book movie (Green Lantern). Additionally, as someone who knows how to rock a bald head like a badass, he'd make a pretty powerful Luthor -- one who'd feel more real world and Dark Knight-ish than, say, the more comic booky versions performed by both Kevin Spacey (Superman Returns) and Gene Hackman (Reeve's Superman movies).

What do you think? You like Strong? Based on this quote, would you say he's a... strong candidate? Is this our new Lex Luthor?

I totally support max strong for lex if this comes about.

Leave them alone man. The DK trilogy is one of my favorite of all time. It's perfect the way it is. No need to give it the foamposite treatment and give it unnecessary milking

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

I like Strong as well.

With the finale of BB coming I'm pretty sure Cranston as Luthor would freak me out too much. That intimidating voice he uses all over again punking Superman. I'm sure he'd bring some levity to it.

Christian Bale: About that $50 million offer to play Batman...

(EW.com) -- Extra! Extra!! Christian Bale offered $50 million to play Batman again!

If you've scanned the superhero sites lately, you've inevitably read reports that Bale is being lured back to the Batcave with a $50 meeellion offer to square off against Henry Cavill's Superman in Warner Bros.' Man of Steel sequel. Fans of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy and Bale's dark portrayal of the Caped Crusader immediately rejoiced, convincing themselves that Bale's previous denials and his desire to pass the torch to another Batman could quickly be erased by cold hard cash. Perhaps that will eventually be the case. But not today.

The recent online buzz erupted after the London Sun reported that "Bale is facing extraordinary pressure" to return to the character for a huge payday. The Sun's sources, however, aren't exactly Warner Bros. insiders or members of Bale's inner circle. Instead, the tabloid was blindly relying on a new ebook titled Beyond Batman: The Unauthorized True Story of Christian Bale and His Dark Knight Dilemma. It's a 27-page mini-book from an author named Vincent Russel, who's also written an unauthorized biography of WWE superstar CM
Punk.

EW: Warner Bros. reveals plans for a Batman/Superman film at Comic-Con

In Beyond Batman, Russel writes about a New Year's Eve 2012 conversation about a potential Justice League movie that he had with a friend who worked at Legendary Pictures during the making of the Dark Knight films:

"'Why would Christian Bale walk away from what is certainly going to be either the first or second highest grossing movie in the history of cinema," he asked, when the subject of Justice League was raised. ... 'He could probably make $50 million for being in the movie 20 minutes,' my friend observed. 'And it would be worth every penny to the studio.' ... Sources close to Christian Bale have reportedly begun expressing their suspicions that Bale now views the Batman films in the same light that Robert Downey, Jr. views the Iron Man films. Although Downey has appeared as Tony Stark in four films in less than a decade, he's hardly typecast as only Iron Man. Downey has balanced his action film escapades with other projects that have harnessed his talents and earned critical acclaim in the process. ... Christian Bale's future success as a Hollywood draw may need Batman every bit as much as the Batman franchise needs Bale for a few more rounds. ... It goes without saying that Bale's managers, friends, and representatives are all telling him the same. And as anyone who has ever worked with Bale will admit, the actor is incredibly sharp, business savvy, and perceptive. As a result, it seems highly unlikely that Christian Bale will bolt from Batman when the bat signal is still glimmering above the Hollywood sign with such tangible fervor."

Got all that?

A "former colleague" of Russel's told him seven months before Man of Steel even opened in theaters that Bale could probably get $50 million for appearing in a subsequent Justice League movie. Now, let's assume Russel's former colleague is a top Legendary executive and that everything he said accurately reflects the company's thinking... That still doesn't equate into what's being reported by many outlets today. There is no $50 million offer, based on a speculative conversation that took place eight months ago. The confusion isn't necessarily the fault of Russel — who relied on "exclusive interviews, online research" for his $2.99 ebook — but the number of outlets that hurriedly ran with the news, most likely because of their steadfast belief that this type of announcement is inevitable. Of course Warner Bros. is going to make a final push to get Bale back, goes the thinking. And $50 million seems about right (I guess?) Reportedly, director Zack Snyder wants a slightly older, wearier Batman to battle Cavill's younger Superman. That would be Bale, who's only 39, but he certainly pulled that off in The Dark Knight Rises. Warner Bros. and Bale's rep both declined to comment about the newest speculation, but that could mean anything or nothing.

EW: Zack Snyder looking for an older Batman?

For those who want to go down the rabbit-hole, Bale starts shooting Exodus, his Moses epic with Ridley Scott, this fall, but he's not yet officially booked for anything in early 2014, when Batman vs. Superman is tentatively scheduled to shoot. So he's potentially available. Bale also wouldn't be the first actor to feign disinterest in order to secure a better payday. He's either completely content with walking away from the franchise, or he's playing this non-negotiation negotiation perfectly. Or both.

Conceivably, he could return as Batman for one epic battle with Superman, really die the noble death he faked in Dark Knight Rises and then hand the keys of the Tumbler over to his new successor, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, for the subsequent Justice League movie — STOP!!! See, I understand why we care and why we were so willing to believe the $50 million offer report. But the fact is, Warner Bros. is still looking for its Batman, and last we heard from Bale on the matter, he said, "I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with." Admittedly, that was in July, but that was also seven months after the sketchy conversation that launched the $50 million rumor.

This is my most looked forward to superhero movie

Batman/Superman
Guardians of the Galaxy
Thor 2
Cpt America 2

That is the order

I believe this is also the film most look forward to. Even though many hates it, I think they are just more vocal but from the CBM poll, this movie topped the Avengers 2 and Star Trek for 2015. No matter how you look at it, Superman & Batman are the #1 and #2 heroes in the whole world and having both in the same film is just mind boggling and something most want. Those who are unsure are mostly due to it being rushed but they still want to see it happen. This film doesn't have to be an incredibly great film to be a billion dollar box office, it just can't be a spectacularly terrible film.

That trailer for Guardians made me feel it's going to be more than just a superhero movie. I was already getting that feel from what I read and saw of it but trailer got me leaning hard on that.

 

[sunshineblotters]

Yah, I don't even like DC. Just started getting into Batman, but that Man of Steel movie is one of my favorite super hero movies so far.

Didn't know there was a guardians trailer. Just watched it. Really? That is how bright they made Gamora?

[rfx45]

I don't remember seeing that in the leaked trailer, that is brighter than the one in the trailer I saw.
You also have to keep in mind that they have only been shooting for a week or so before that SDCC trailer and it's only been about a month of filming before the leaked D23 leak so there are still some post-production tweaks that will be done.

NVM. I was just going to post that I saw a fake trailer.
Can't find the real version

Also, I'm pretty sure I saw set pics of other green chicks so there's that possibility.

I definitely never saw that bright *** green still you posted.

Rocket Racoon actually looks surprisingly good.
