Edmilson 7,436 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 All this controversy about the name is ridiculous. Sure, the original subtitle is ludicrous (though that's kind of the point), but put the blame on the movie being called Birds of Prey and not Harley Quinn is just an excuse for the poor marketing strategies. Movies starring super teams that only comic book nerds knew about, such as Guardians of the Galaxy and even Suicide Squad, were hits at the box office. The marketing was terrible, the strategies of release were pathetic, and now the movie is suffering because of that, not the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go the animated route of Spiderverse, and make an interesting Teen Titans film series (I haven't seen the new show). Right now, the dark, edgy stuff seems to be all they can do until it's safe to dust off Batman and Superman again. HBO Max apparently has a Green Lantern series in development. As much as I want a proper film series, WB is too gun shy after the 2011 film tanked. If they put Disney+ kind of money into it, that might be a better option. 7 hours ago, Edmilson said: A Birds Of Prey Hashtag Is Trending With Solid Reasons To Support Harley Quinn's Movie https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2490304/a-birds-of-prey-hashtag-is-trending-with-solid-reasons-to-support-harley-quinn-movie So, does anyone here have a #ReasontoSupportBoP? It’s funnier than Deadpool, with less bloody John Wick-style action. It’s lightweight but Margot Robbie really embraces the Looney Tunes aspect of Harley. She makes the film worthwhile.

mstrox 6,651 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 We thought Birds of Prey was fun! As far as DC movies, go, leagues better than Suicide Squad and MoS/BvS. Not quite as good as Wonder Woman. Probably Shazam level fun. The characters were interesting, Robie was great, and McGregor was a great spoiled rich boy villain. Compared to Deadpool, which is probably most people's comparison, it doesn't really compare at all. It's true that this is pretty violent and the language is pretty vulgar (moreso than the movie really calls for, IMO), but the two movies are pretty dissimilar stylistically. Where a significant draw of Deadpool is the extreme metahumor, that's absent in this, and for the most part the humor in Birds of Prey is more character based than the punchline humor of Deadpool. 20 hours ago, Edmilson said: A Birds Of Prey Hashtag Is Trending With Solid Reasons To Support Harley Quinn's Movie https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2490304/a-birds-of-prey-hashtag-is-trending-with-solid-reasons-to-support-harley-quinn-movie So, does anyone here have a #ReasontoSupportBoP?

Edmilson 7,436 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Batman is a great role model. Now he teaches kids the dangers of drinking too much alcohol. Quote Ben Affleck Gets Candid About His 'The Batman' Exit On Jan. 30, 2019, Ben Affleck confirmed he was retiring as Batman, a move that ended nearly 18 months of speculation about his future as The Dark Knight, and which paved the way for Robert Pattinson to step into the role for Matt Reeves' The Batman. Now, in a revealing interview with the New York Times, Affleck explains his reasons for leaving the project, which at one point he was going to direct and star in. The Times profile notes Affleck's struggles with alcoholism, his split from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and the troubles he had shooting and promoting 2017's Justice League all came to a head. “I showed somebody The Batman script," Affleck said. "They said, 'I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went though again.'" Filmmaker Zack Snyder cast Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman in August 2013 for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Affleck also briefly played the character in 2016's Suicide Squad, and long had plans to write and direct The Batman. But even before Justice League opened to muted results in November 2017, cracks were beginning to show in Affleck's future as the Dark Knight. In February 2017, Reeves boarded as director, and by July the filmmaker had noted he had dropped Affleck's script. Affleck has moved on from the role, and next will be seen in the sports drama The Way Back, in which he plays a high school basketball coach struggling with alcoholism. As for The Batman, Reeves recently showed off the first look at Pattinson in the role for the film, which opens in 2021. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ben-affleck-batman-exit-youll-drink-yourself-death-1279838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
