Disco Stu 15,475 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 It feels nice to be feeling cautiously optimistic about a Superman movie, even if the only reason as of now is that Snyder is no where near it.

Naïve Old Fart 7,959 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 At the very least, it looks more interesting than non-stop MCU gobshite. Did Cavill jump, or was he pushed? Oh, dear. I clicked on the link, and it says - literally - "...Henry Cavill is still the best Superman" That made I larf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 5,876 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If you want me to be excited about your slate, say the words Booster Gold, imo. I’m enthusiastic about some of the titles they’re working on, although his descriptions of the movies and series themselves didn’t excite me too much. Might just be brand hesitance after the last 10 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison’s run on Batman & Robin is pretty good, but couldn’t be further from the animated show in content (the show was about superhero team ups, where Morrison’s B&R was very Bat-family focused) or form (the show - which was tons of fun - was extremely goofy by design, while the Morrison books were well on the “dark” side of center). What’s interesting about the slate is that it’s fairly risky. I would have expected WB to play it safe, given their current financial state and the lukewarm reception for Black Adam, but here they are launching a cinematic universe on the back of The Authority and Creature Commandos! Whether it works for them or not, it goes to show that the new regime is passionate about the source material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 5,876 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I watched an episode thinking, “oh god they’re putting Batman on an island full of dinosaurs, this is gonna be dreadful!” And I was hooked! I think I looked forward to new episodes of Brave and the Bold more than any other (adult) shows during that run. and then the next series went the exact opposite direction, the gritty dark batman who wants to fuck, in charmless 3D animation - and taaaaaanked Tallguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 3,825 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The Superman concept seems promising. I'll be interested if they more thoroughly explore Supe's extraterrestrial origins, and portray him as the space alien he is. Snyder hinted at this, but I'd like to see it fully embraced.

Cerebral Cortex 3,148 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Honestly, I wish Danny Elfman had scored Flash more than Multiverse of Madness (but not more than No Way Home instead of MoM). It'd be really interesting seeing him be put into the position where he A) has to presumably expand upon a fairly minor theme he rushedly wrote for a character who is now the central hero of a new movie, B) expand upon the musical soundscape he established in Justice League while C) trying to figure out how to rectify it with previous musical material he wrote for another character in a different style. What sensibilities he would use to approach those challenges, whether it was using a soundscape that merged the two--Batman '89/Returns '92/Flash ‘90?-- against JL, something that largely grounded itself in the nostalgic superhero sound of old, or something that saw him updating his older themes to conform to the newer vision, would be so interesting to know.

mstrox 5,876 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I suspect that we’ll see brief cameos from the Snyder-era Justice League in this one, even if just as glimpses as the Flash wipes them all away into the Wal Mart blu-Ray bargain bins forever. If they got Affleck back, they could easily get the more enthusiastic participants of the Snyderverse back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerebral Cortex 3,148 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Upon rewatching the Flash trailer, it's such a weird creative choice to play the theme for Ben Affleck's Batman from Justice League for Michael Keaton's Batman.

mstrox 5,876 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hard to tell whether this will be any good. I want it to be because I generally like Keaton and this pushes some of my nostalgia buttons, but the trailer itself just feels unbelievably BUSY (which was a similar complaint I had with the Black Panther 2 trailer, but that movie itself thankfully had a much more laid back pace than advertised).

Arpy 4,087 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 How have we come to 2023, with advancements made in CGI, and any studio thinks 'You know what, this looks acceptable to release'. It looks awful. All of the intrigue and power of Burton's gothic Batman is stripped bare by lazy CG. It honestly doesn't evoke any sense of nostalgia and instead makes me feel sad that THIS is how Keaton chooses to return... Bayesian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,232 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 A multiverse movie for a dead universe is a dumb and funny idea but I do like the look of the movie from the trailers. The taller 16:9 shots feel a lot more dynamic than your average 2.35 MCU film Superheroes are the modern equivalent of tall tales after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
