The superhero genre is commercially viable. It's the only reason why this is happening. Everything else that isn't superheroes has become a liability.

Joker is a great example, the only reason it earned over a billion dollars in box office was because its connection with Batman and DC. If the movie was about a random poor guy with mental illness, it would've struggle to find its audience. A24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,714 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I get it. Superman is uncool, Superman is not relatable, this is not a “Superman-movie”... But whatever... Can’t even be bothered to put Superman in the artwork? I mean, I get it, the two - so far - best grossing DC movies has been Aquaman and Wonder Woman... Mind, that this is a rumored mock up, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s far from the actual product. But still, omitting the most popular superhero of all time?

The length is no problem for me. What I imagine might be a problem is if it's paced anything like BvS (yes, The Ultimate Edition), which I found exhausting in the worst way possible. 10 hours ago, AC1 said: The idea was to let the nice goody two-shoes Superman die so that the dark Superman could be born. Lol. Sure. Too bad that I wasn't remotely invested in the new version of his character and couldn't care less when he died and felt nothing when seeing a dark version of him. He needed at least another movie before we go with that. The idea was really to speed run the story and character development to try and catch up to Marvel. I am very interested in how Snyder's version handles this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSMefford 1,509 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I highly doubt that it will turn me. But I am extremely curious just from an archival / historical / filmmaking perspective to see what I assume will be a pretty different interpretation from Whedon's lighter approach. It's not everyday you get the chance to see basically an entire film done with the same cast and the same basic story around the same time, but by two different storytellers. I'll be watching for sure. Those posters are ridiculous though. The imagery suggests the Justice League is broken and in shambles, yet they don't actually form until this movie. It's the epitome of current DC really. It's the payoff without the emotional buildup, the final struggle to cross the finish line when they've barely just begun the race, etc. Trying to create a feeling without putting any of the proper story work in. Imagine if these images had been prominent in multiple films and were so recognizable that seeing them in this state actually meant something. For example, when you see Cap's shield broken, it means something. It really feels like they're trying to bank off pure character recognition alone, while also touting (for example) that their Superman isn't like the ones we've had before. Can't have it both ways. That being said, this "who cares, let's just do whatever" approach seems to be working for them, so what do I know? They're just silly popcorn movies anyway. Just annoys me when they're clearly not trying when they could. Don't get me wrong, I'm know everyone involved worked very hard to make this film, but there's an overall lack of care in the big picture sense.

Edmilson 7,439 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Here's Jared Leto's Joker in Snyder's JL: Snyder also said when he will appear on the movie: Spoiler (Spoiler warning) Joker appears in the new film during a sequence set on a ruined Earth after the alien tyrant Darkseid invades and decimates the planet. It’s a dream sequence, a psychic vision, experienced by Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne that reveals what will happen if the superheroes fail to stop the onslaught. Joker is sort of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, supplying motivation through terror. “The cool thing about the scene is that it’s Joker talking directly to Batman about Batman,” Snyder said. “It’s Joker analyzing Batman about who he is and what he is. That’s the thing I also felt like fans deserved from the DC Universe. That is to say, the Jared Leto Joker and the Ben Affleck Batman, they never really got together. It seemed uncool to me that we would make it all the way through this incarnation of Batman and Joker without seeing them come together.” https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/02/jared-leto-joker-justice-league-zack-snyder TSMefford and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
