nightscape94 965 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Harley Quinn, as originally created for the animated TV series, wasn't a murderer. Mentally unstable yes, but she still had some moral compass when it came to killing people. What she became after that in the comics and video games I have no idea.

Like they're all hardened baddies, but he's even more of a baddie, so he wants to provoke an uncomfortable reaction from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It makes for good publicity. Leto wants to make his commitment seem as "intense" as possible... Thing is, after Ledger's take, this whole "psycho villain" thing is really not as "original" as these actors would like to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Seth Grahame-Smith was always a question mark for The Flash. I'm relieved he departed the director's chair. These kinds of things happen. Not just at WB, but Marvel as well. Patty Jenkins departed Thor: The Dark World due to the same reason, as did Edgar Wright when he departed Ant-Man. On another note, George Miller is being eyed to direct Green Lantern Corps, but that's a rumor right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Lemme specify. Deadpool is not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and was produced by Fox and Marvel, rather then Marvel itself. I have no idea how much creative input Marvel has in these Fox superhero movies or if it´s just contractual obligations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Yea its pretty simple. Before Marvel started making their own movies, they licensed out their characters to various studios. Sony got Spider-man and all associated characters like Venom, Sinister Six, etc (Sony has since worked out a deal to let Marvel run their Spider-man movies) Fox got X-Men, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and various associated characters (Daredevil has since returned to Marvel) Universal got Hulk but has since let Marvel use the character in anything except his own standalone film, which they still have the rights to That's why the success of the MCU is so fascinating; They had already sold off the rights to their most reckognizable properties and had to built their universe out of what was considered 2nd tier heroes at the time (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America). They pulled it off in a big time and now you see as much Avengers merchandise out there as you do X-Men merchandise, if not more. A big difference from the 90s when the X-Men cartoon was on the air and kids barely knew who Iron Man was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 TASM is an ok film. Excellent leads, but it feels slightly redundant. Didn't see the second one. Horners score is very good, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The sequel was terrible except when the two leads were on screen. They were magical together. I prefer TASM over any tobey film.
