After seeing the trailer for Infinity War....


...WB has announced that the DCEU will be purchased by Disney. A WB spokeperson said "We just want this baby to go to a good family who will take care of it and give it all it deserves, everything we can't provide."

reply

Bwahahaha, that was mean!

reply

Whether it is mean or not, Marvel have consistently done well with their movies and DC since the Nolan trilogy only has Wonder Woman showing anything close to that level of effort.

reply

"and DC since the Nolan trilogy"

Well, since The Dark Knight... since Rises was so horrible (at least it gave me a new appreciation for Batman Begins, which I never cared much for)

reply

I don't rate Rises but I won't let that take away from the spectacle of the first two.

Two out of three ain't bad in my opinion and the fanboys for Rises didn't help their cause by picking on Marvel fans and projecting their inner embarrassed kid selves on them.

I don't do multiple hero comic books but the Marvel cinema stuff hits just the right spot for popcorn family creature features.

reply

Batman Begins is my favorite of the trio.

reply

loved all three. this and smallville were their best effords so far. unless you count in snyder's watchmen ultimate cut, which destroys everything both companies has to offer.

reply

Watchmen is great [though a tad on the dragging pace]

reply

Reading the full comic takes even longer and the whole black pirate ship element was cut out of the movie.

The movie's ending was better than the comic though, much better in my opinion.

reply

Never read the comic though I knew of Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan.

The tone of the movie was pretty good and felt it needed to be that way.

The stuff I most enjoyed out of it was what apparently happened to the old Watchmen as was told by Rorschach while displaying images of their goofy looking wardrobe.

Also, the Comedian being thrown out of the window is a gold money shot.

reply

It certainly is my favourite Zack Snyder movie beyond a doubt, I think he may have peaked there though.

reply

I agree. The tone worked for THAT movie. He needs to find a new crutch to ride on.

reply

not out of the ultimate cut. all i nedd now is a fanedit that adds the "under the hood" bonus material into it. ^^

reply

Ah, I've just been looking up this Ultimate Cut you are talking about.

Seems eager beavers such as myself don't stick around for the leftovers being doled out for lunch the next day.

I'll maybe get around to watching it, from what I read on Wikipedia the Under The Hood stuff exists - just as a separate featurette.

Thanks for the info.com!

reply

you are welcome. :D

you are right, the "under the hood" docu just exists as a seperate feature and if i remember right, in the graphic novel it was integrated throughout the story. i guess since the ultimate cut is so long, it was a bit much to integrate that into said cut as well.

i have seen the ultimate cute like 10 times and to me it is almost the best version of the book imaginable. the only thing missing would be that extra material. if i had the time, i would do it myself and maybe even throw in the missing sequences from the novel in, by adding those parts from trhe animated comic.

hopefully the upcoming tv series will be great as well, but with snyder's ultimate cut in mind, that's quite the challenge.

btw, is started with the theatrical cut and worked my way through the directors cut up to the UC and i grew more impressed with every version. i could have lived without the sex scene and "99 red balloons" in the soundtrack. as for the other changes, i prefer the movie ending and the new costumes.

reply

Great timings at your end, I've only just found out about the TV pilot for HBO from researching your Ultimate Cut information and I can't say I'm happy about it...(You'll get the gist when you see my new thread in that subsection).

Hope springs eternal, but I'm sure even Pandora is thinking her box is getting pretty light these days.

reply

just found your thread. i will do some research, since i haven't been in the loop on the hbo show for a while. see you there within the next couple of days.

PS: whatever they do with it, i can not possibly hate it more than what dc is doing to the watchmen right now on a graphic novel level. the prequel series were unneccessary, but doomsday clock is an insult.

reply

As more news comes out I'll be there.

Love Watchmen, hate Lindelof.

Should be fun! 🧖

reply

awesome. this is gonna be an interesting conversation, since i love watchmen as well, but also quite like some of lindelof's work. looking forward to it. :D

reply

agreed, it was fantastic. for me it was the perfect length. damn, i even binge watched the motion comic which ran 325 minutes, which admittedly is a different entity, but i prefer the snyder version above all. even above the original graphic novel version. loved the few changes he introduced.

reply

It's a great starting point which is followed up nicely with the first sequel, both doing a service to each other in the terms of storytelling and showing what Bruce will endure for the safety of the people of Gotham.

Completely destroyed by the third movie though - which is a shame because the first 6 minutes of it were a compelling watch and did the IMAX camera with film thing he was going for a decent turn. Shame he didn't concentrate on what he'd done in his prior to movies regarding Batman and Bruce Wayne.

reply

Although I'm not a fan of Batman, I had watched "The Mechanist" with Bale just prior to it and seeing his physical difference made me respect the man. Quite a U-turn as for performance. Made the movie all the more entertaining.

reply

I was a fan of both independently and felt they'd made the right casting choice with him for sure.

How it all ended though...🤢

reply

Bale is a great actor all around.

Lol, it seems the 3rd movie "broke you".

reply

😂

It broke any trust I have in Nolan doing trilogies that's for sure!

🤣

reply

lol.

reply

Not that I don't believe u but do u have a source. If it's true that's awesome. Warner bros just needs to learn that patience and not greed is what would've made the dceu work.

reply

Definitely not serious, but it WOULD be for the best.

Once Disney has X-Men, they'll be far too busy making Marvel movies.
