Gyllenhaal and Hamm are two people in the past who showed interest in the part. So fans are just speculating about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 As long as they make more Wonder Woman movies, I'm pretty good at ignoring everything else they make.

mstrox 6,651 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I like Snyder. The only Snyder movies I don't like are 300 and Sucker Punch. A couple of them (Dawn of the Dead, Watchmen) are great. MoS and BvS are OK. They weren't "fun" though. I'm also not particularly a comic book fan (although when I do read comics, I tend toward simple/fun stuff rather than dark stuff, complex stuff, event stuff). Suicide Squid reminded me a lot of a 90s-era superhero movie or Michael Bay movie, right down to being awful. But there was a fun sort of nostalgic feeling to it. I wouldn't watch it again, but I wouldn't watch 95% of the movies I see again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 BvS was messy but had its cool elements. The follow-ups have been totally forgettable and downright awful in the case of Suicide Squad. It's like someone behind the scenes is sabotaging the DC movies. There was such potential for Batfleck after BvS and look how he was squandered in Justice League. What a disappointment this series turned out to be.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 BvS had flair. The other ones were horribly stylized like Suicide Squad and Justice League. JL looks like a bad Netflix show. I liked the look of BvS mostly. It was a nice blend of realism and funny book-ness. It also had some really well-done fight scenes, while the others delivered standard CGI messes. Even the apparently beloved WW had a stupid CGI ending with an awful villain. SS had the worst version of a beloved iconic character maybe ever. It's like the people in charge want to make DC fail miserably. Back to BvS, it feels like Snyder and co. had a vision for it and it mostly comes together despite excessive length, so many characters being introduced and it feeling like a later entry in an ongoing series. Batman storyline is cool and I even liked a lot of the Superman stuff. It was different. I guess it was better to hint at characters like Robin and The Joker, because WB and DC will just ruin them if they're actually featured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
