Well in the trailer she did say Superman's appearance seems to have made them come out of the wood-work. This may explain why she is both putting the team together (as a response to superman and probably Batman as he's been around for awhile, presumably Wonder Woman too!) and why we haven't seen many meta-humans (they're just now coming to the forefront because superman showed up).

Honestly, I still think the DCAU shits all over the MCU.

Well, yeah. DCAU>MCU>DCCU...for now.

I totally agree. DCAU is done SO well. If DC does anything right, it's definitely animation.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #354 on:** 15 Jul 2015, 10:57 »

If only they would let the people who do their animated shows and movies do their live action stuff.

Well Some of them anyway.

I do not want to see a live action version of Teen Titans Go, thank you.

LeeC · « **Reply #355 on:** 15 Jul 2015, 11:21 »

Well with introducing magic in the DCCU with Enchantress perhaps we will see Raven?

Also Ryan Reynolds making a crack about the Green Lantern costume in the Deadpool trailer was spot on.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #356 on:** 15 Jul 2015, 12:49 »

Raven is going to be in the Teen Titans live action show. But that's not part of the DCCU of course. We do have Wonder Woman in Dawn of Justice, so we know magic is going to be part of the setting. Really it's not like they could avoid it. Magic has been a part of comics for a long time. It got sidestepped by the Thor movies with the 'any sufficiently advanced technology' reasoning. But we've also got Doctor Strange coming for them.. You can't say he's not magic.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #357 on:** 15 Jul 2015, 12:54 »

Part of me wishes they'd incorporate the Flash and Arrow into the DCCU...but part of me worries that'd fuck up the shows.

I didn't even know that was supposed to be Enchantress considering she looks like this in the comics

Neither do I since that that show dumbed down the original Teen Titans show.

Better things could be done with the TT in a live action show if it's allowed to follow the formula that DC has set up in the last few years, and while this may be a personal preference by me since I'm a fan of Yuri, I'd like to see them take things in a direction that realistically hooked Raven with Starfire

But that's just me.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #360 on:** 15 Jul 2015, 17:32 »

I am doubly irritated by Teen Titans Go because it was the replacement of Young Justice, which was an absolutely stellar show canceled for the stupidest reason. Plus the fact that they took an occasional funny joke from the TT cartoon, the chibi forms, and made a show around it. Toning down the heroics in favor of pre-teen friendly slapstick. That said, I am interested in the live action show. The Titans were always my second favorite DC team, after the Legion of Super Heroes. Now if they made a Legion live action show I would squee myself silly.

Didn't want to start a new Thread on this, but the second BvS Trailer is out.

There are complaints I wanna make, but I guess having Wonder Woman (and fucking Doomsday?) in the trailer kind of overshadow them.

BenRG · « **Reply #363 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 02:18 »

Welp!

Batman vs. Superman, both in civilian and costumed identities;
Doomsday;
Superman realising that being a patriot who just wants to help people makes him a lonely man in Washington DC
Wonder Woman not in a swimsuit;
Is that kid The Joker?

I'll put it this way: If it's good, it will be epic and may save the DCCU in the eyes of many fans who despised Man of Steel. If it's bad, it will put DC live action features on the back-burner for another 10 years.

IMO, I would have killed or minimised 'Batman vs. Superman' and focussed on 'Dawn of Justice'.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #364 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 08:45 »

The kid is their Lex Luthor. Technically I think it's supposed to be Alexander Luthor, the Lex everyone know's son. I know, kind of stupid.

Is that officially supposed to be Doomsday? From the scenes leading up to his appearance, it looked like Lex was reviving one of the Kryptonians, or maybe Zod himself. Kept in cold storage by the government most likely.

I still don't like that they are billing this as a dark and gritty world, and a punch up between Superman and Batman until a bigger threat shows up. I just don't buy it, it makes both characters to myopic. "He doesn't act like me, so he must be eviiiiil despite all actual evidence to the contrary.'. Bats and Supes were always two sides of the mirror of justice. Their methods and attitudes, as well as the enemies they fought may be different. but they share so much. Two people orphaned at a young age who had the power and ability to make their world better, and felt honor bound to do so, even... and especially when doing the right thing is the hardest thing you can do, and some people will hate you for it. They may be very different, but they understand each other, and have enough respect for each other to not let their differences turn them against each other.

LeeC · « **Reply #365 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 11:42 »

question... the hell are these?

Darkseid minions? Is that Doomsday actually Darkseid?

Kugai · « **Reply #366 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 12:40 »

I think that the Luthor in this film has done with Zods DNA what Hackman did in that Reeve Superman film and created that monster.

And I think those guys are part of the dream/nightmare sequence they used as a brief Teaser.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #367 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 13:48 »

They look like parademons, honestly. Darkseid's foot soldiers. Or 'wing soldiers' I guess.

Thrillho · « **Reply #368 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 14:19 »

I already feel like the DCCU is a clusterfuck compared to its Marvel counterpart.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #369 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 18:06 »

It's a shame they don't have the people working on the Arrowverse doing their movies. Then again, if they merged the TV and movie universes, that might hurt the TV shows more than help the movies.

(Don't even get me started on that Supergirl show, I've only seen the first two episodes but what a piece of shit)

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #370 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 19:33 »

I don't get why they would show Doomsday or Wonder Woman. Wouldn't those be the things you would want to save for people to see?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #371 on:** 03 Dec 2015, 19:55 »

Wonder Woman I get, Doomsday seems like too much to share.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #372 on:** 04 Dec 2015, 06:06 »

I agree with that. Wonder Woman we knew was appearing in the movie. And honestly, her costume and look is the best thing I can see in the movie so far. The rest just makes me sigh or roll my eyes. Doomsday though was not a reveal they should have made. We already had enough conflict happening with BvS and Lex.

LeeC · « **Reply #373 on:** 08 Dec 2015, 09:48 »

What if...the scenes with superman being a bad guy (with the nazi supermen henchmen and kneeling to Lex Luther, etc) is Bizzarro. You can even see him behind Luther when he starts the machine to create Doomsday. Thats why Wonder Woman and Batman (also the events of Man of Steel) are after Superman...

Edguy · « **Reply #374 on:** 18 Mar 2016, 16:45 »

Full Batman v Superman soundtrack released

From what I've heard, this sounds like a great soundtrack.. for a batman movie. It sounds very inspired by the animated Batman theme(s) and the Arkham games. I haven't listened to all of them tho..

Edguy · « **Reply #375 on:** 23 Mar 2016, 06:50 »

BvS reviews are out, from what I can tell on RottenTomatoes and Metacritic, the general response is pretty lukewarm. Som good to great elements, but the overall movie seems to be a bit of a mess.

Goddammit DC/Warner/David Goyer.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #376 on:** 23 Mar 2016, 07:00 »

Pretty much what I was expecting, with their movies up to this point and the previews. Anywhere from 'meh' to 'why did they even bother?' Honestly, the only reason I want to see it is for Wonder Woman... So I'll wait for a cheap matinee.

Edguy · « **Reply #377 on:** 23 Mar 2016, 14:05 »

I just watched Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the movie was even more of a mess than the title..

I finally saw it last night and thought it was okay, a definite improvement over Man of Steel but that didn't take much (like everyone has been saying). Affleck and Gadot killed it, she was the one I was more worried about but her performance as Wonder Woman was stellar and I can't wait for her movie coming soon. I even liked Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, a different take from the more traditional Luthor but I liked his often creepy menace. I liked that he started out somewhat subtle and by the end says, "Fuck it, I straight up hate you." Overall I think the loser was Superman, Zack Snyder is not good at using or interpreting Superman. All it seems like Superman does in the movie is be a gorgeous idiot, unable to do anything even with all his powers or royally messing things up.

The movie itself lacks cohesion, jumping from scene to scene at a frantic pace trying to fit things in. Some times it'll jump to a dream sequence without any kind of warning or explanation

As of Saturday night, BvS's second weekend takings are trending down about 70% from the first weekend, one of the steeper drops in cinematic history and tying X-Men Origins: Wolverine for the biggest audience walk-away in superhero movies history.

What I wanna know is what happened to Wayne Manor? At first I thought it was just a reflection of himself in the dream, but then he's sitting in the ruins talking with Alfred. Also, I feel like the other clips of the other Justice League members could have been shown during or after the credits instead of plopping them right in the middle of the movie.
Also, why even use Jimmy Olsen or Mercy Graves if you're just gonna kill them off? I wasn't even sure it was Jimmy until the credits rolled and had his name considering it seemed like they were making Jenny at the Daily Planet that universes Jimmy

"Reason" for killing off Jimmy: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/batman-v-superman-zack-snyder-explains-why-he-killed-off-jimmy-olsen-a6954956.html

Bryan Cranston as Luthor woulda been incredible

on the other hand, Cranston directed by Snyder would probably have been garbage.
