DC is an underdog here but I'm rooting for them. I would hate for WB to sell the rights and Disney pick them up. Disney's writing is too family friendly and hokey for these characters. I don't want them treated like marvel characters at all.
shareI don't see it happening and I wouldn't want it. I love the MCU movies but I do like a bit of variety and would still want DC separate. ON the other hand if Disney did buy them off we might end up getting a DC vs. Marvel crossover.
shareAt least they'd be characters.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
DC has characters. Their all intentionally fractured and damaged.
Batman kills because joker killed robin making him feel his moral compass was a joke. He even says this about his parents death having no meaning.
Superman's public image is tarnished.
Wonder woman walked away from the world of mankind for yet unkown reasons.
Superman sacrifices himself. Batman is inspired by it. He seeks help from wonder woman to find other meta humans which gets her reengaged with human affairs.
The films are about them needing to be the justice league. I like the mantra JL has. something to the effect of... they've faced us before but never united

Maybe all that MCU complexity gets lost with lines like " you have a metal arm that's awesome dude!" But Winter Soldier is tortured and dynamic so it works. Lol
share"that's awesome dude" was a line that came from a 16 year old kid. And he is tortured, its pretty much a key element of his character. Are you denying that?
"George, you can type this *beep* but you can't say it."
And that line speaks of Spider-Man's character, not The Winter Soldier's. Its also not hokey because its in character with something Spider-Man would say. Do you understand what I'm saying?
"George, you can type this *beep* but you can't say it."

DC is an underdogAnd at the moment when statements like this have some truth to them you know that at some point something went horribly wrong. share
Because Warner Bros is doing such an amazing job with DC??? Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc are as 'family friendly' as it gets.
shareThe thing people don't realise is that almost every superhero in their most popular incarnation is family friendly, with only a few exceptions - Wolverine and Daredevil come to mind. A lot of DC heroes are not a part of those exceptions. I'd say that maybe Batman is, and the only reason I say that is because the Nolan trilogy is so popular. I love many DC characters (though not currently as they've been presented in the DCEU), but to call any character ultimately "family friendly" is ridiculous. I mean, look at Marvel's ultimate edition characters. They're *beep* crazy, but that doesn't mean that reflects the characters in their most recognised version. Wonder Woman, Flash, and Superman though? Definately as close to family friendly as you'll find, right up there with Spidey tbh. And thats not a bad thing. I think a lot of people would like to see some faithful adaptions. You can still have a serious movie without compromising the fundamental attributes of the character - e.g. Cap in TWS or again, Batman in TDK, and if Justice League follows the same tone as previous DCEU movies, maybe The Flash, but I'll have to wait to see JL to see how that goes.
"George, you can type this *beep* but you can't say it."
while I dont like the idea of basically all Superheroes being under the same studio
But I got to say at this point after BvS and Suicide Squad...I think the SUM OF ALL FEARS is letting WB continue making DCEU films
Marvel Studios is making good to great CBM's yearly. I get that some(Mainly hardcore DC fan) dont like the Tone, and wouldn't want DCEU films made like MCU films....but at this point, even for hardcore DC fans that got to be better than what they are getting now....BvS and Suicide Squad were complete disasters....so awful WB was forced to make immediate changes and Those change are very "Marvel Studios like"
WB,Snyder and The actors involved have all came out and went overboard in saying J.L and future DCEU films will be made with A much lighter and more fun tone after BvS came out to universal hatred...
Zack Snyder was immediately DEMOTED after BvS came out to such an awful reception, His Dark,Depressing and colorless taste and tones isn't happening going forward, WB hired 2 new people to run the DCEU branch.
A complete J.L film was canceled after BvS came, before that The Studio had announced and green lit J.L as a 2 parter, Snyder confirmed and talked in about it being a 2 parter constantly, They announced and scheduled 2 release dates for 2 J.L films, Its was a done deal, but then BvS came out to universal hatred, and suddenly J.L immediatly become Just 1 Film, WB clearly forced Snyder into making J.L into 1 film instead of 2 after he failed with BvS.
if you've seen all the Promotion for Wonder Woman its almost shockingly COLORFUL and full of humor and jokes, all the Promotion for J.L features Very Colorful pictures of The League, The first Comic Con trailer had more 1 liners and humor than many MCU films trailers.
The Point is, Your worst fear is happening now, WB has clearly abandoned Snyder and his dark,depressing and colorless tones and are now trying to copying Marvel Studios Lighter more fun Tone....which IMO is the right move, after BvS and Suicide Squad, WB has no choice, when 2 films are hated as badly as those, you literally can't go forward.
now you got to hope WB doesn't fail again with Their new approach of copying Marvel Studios, and its not sounding good, reports have already started coming out that based on earlier screenings BOTH Wonder Woman and J.L are complete MESSES
while I dont think Disney would ever buy Dc or DC would ever sell....but If WW and J.L turn out awful like BvS, you may have to ask yourself "Disney making DC films seriously couldn't be worse than WB making DC films"....If WW and J.L are awful, WB has made 4 straight awful films with 2 different approaches, they failed with BvS and SS with the dark,depressing and colorless Approach, and if WW and J.L are awful they failed with Trying to copying Marvel Studios Lighter more fun approach...
Disney/Marvel Studios would at least make good films, you may not like their "family friendly/hokey" tone, but at least they wouldn't be truly awful movies filled with Post Production interference like BvS and SS.
its also worth considering, If DC did buy DC, it would at least guarantee A future for DCEU films....at this rate after BvS and Suicide Squad, If WW and J.L are awful, WB is going to start considering giving up...or The damage of 4 straight awful films will be too much to overcome and they wont be able to go forward if they wanted to...that would result in WB waiting a few years not making any CBM's and then eventually reboot Batman and Superman and just making Bats and Sups movies like they've were doing....WB would feel Batman and Superman are the only characters that are for sure and they probably wouldn't even be set in the same universe if They rebooted them after The DCEU failed
WW and J.L are incredibly important film for The DCEU...thiings could get quite ugly if they turn out similar to BvS and J.L
any way....I dont think you should worry about DC selling to Marvel....IMO you should be worried about WB continuing making DCEU films....thats could be the real nightmare...
Its kinda funny that your trying to make it seem like going to Disney is a bad thing, when Disney/Marvel Studios has done nothing but Produce Good to Great Movies that go on to be Smash hits.
Its almost like your refusing to except reality, WB and The DEU films have done nothing but disappoint, yet somehow your trying to ignore that and come up with a way in your mind it could get worse.
lol but in reality, going to Disney would probably only result in things getting drastically better.
I think you need to focus on and worry about WB and their inability in make anything but awful DCEU film, The Sum of all fears is WB continuing on the path their on and never figuring out a plan/formula to making decent to good DCEU films
true, Disney would make them family friendly but at least they would be good movies unlike the shit we've been handed recently. Dark dosent automatically mean good, what we really need is WB to start creating movies like Logan and The Dark Knight then we're rollin'
