[Wise]

Superman is the face of the JL though

Except who's the Chairman/woman in the JL?

Superman is the charismatic lead singer,

Batman is the mysterious lead guitarist,

Flash is the charming lighthearted drummer,

Diana is the down to business, no nonsense bass guitarist

 

[Aquafinn90]

Shazam is in the same universe. I don't get why everyone thinks it's not. New line is WB

Well admittedly it is odd. Why have it be the ONLY one produced under a different production company(even if WB is the same parent co) -

Batman has always been the rebel. Superman is the natural leader. He's the moral compass of the league. Just like Cap is with the Avengers. Batman and Iron Man finance everything. That's why Superman is front and center in the League. Look at the concept art. Who's in the center? Supes. You need a face and a man with ideals to lead.

I like how JLA handled it, having Superman come up with the idea for the Justice League, and Batman coming on occasionally as a "freelance" member of the league.

Watchmen's amazingly directed. I've been teaching myself what cinematic direction was for over ten years, and film school has done nothing but validate what I've learned.

The question is, not "what does the film say?, it's "what does the camera say"?

^ For Nite Owl, everything.

But don't take my word for it.

Consider the words of the late, great Ebert who gave it a 4/4, Waid (who said it was as best as it could be) and yes, a true film fan, McWeeney (who absolutely loved it)

Add in the fact that Watchmen has a high IMDB score 7.6, a high metacritic user score 8.2, and tends to be listed consistently on the list of underrated comic movies.

Add in the fact that it's a high DVD seller for an R rated movie.

Or actually think for yourself and WATCH it. Don't demand Moore's original vision (that's what the book is for) but see if Snyder made a great story in its own right.

Honestly, I think I'd be a better director by watching Watchmen a dozen times, than by watching a lot of static, dialog-driven movies made nowadays.

Good post.

Watchmen was fantastic!

I think Rock Adam is too invaluable as an antivillain to not have in this DC Cinematic Universe.

Isn't the Justice League Dark movie being produced by New Line too?

 

[Charlatan]

Thank you. If we're talking Greek Pantheon Supes is Zeus and Batman is Hades.

Supes would be Apollo.
Bats Hades
WW Artemis
Aquaman Poseidon
Flash Hermes
Cyborg Hephaestus

 

[Aquafinn90]

Isn't the Justice League Dark movie being produced by New Line too?

Yes but is THAT set in this DC universe?

 

[Cats]

Tao Okamoto talks her role

She sounds like she's super nervous.

It's the only one that has been announced that doesn't mean it's the only one

Except who's the Chairman/woman in the JL?

Black Canary was the chairwoman but the Trinity kept going over her head. Captain Atom was the chairman in Young Justice.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Bats Hades
WW Artemis
Aquaman Poseidon
Flash Hermes
Cyborg Hephaestus

Nah, Green Lantern is typically Apollo. Supes is Zeus. He's the big daddy.

 

[Pickleweasel]

It's been reported WB but who knows

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Nah, English just ain't her native tongue. Maybe a little nervous.

I like how JLA handled it, having Superman come up with the idea for the Justice League, and Batman coming on occasionally as a "freelance" member of the league.

Exactly! That was perfect.
Superman was the leader and the center of the league.

While Batman was too cool for them most of the time. Which plays into his badass persona.

The JL leader has to stand up in front of the people and deliver speeches and inspire them. Do we want the working class guy who sees the best in humanity? Or the cynical angry billionaire to do that?

 

[RF20Lennon]

Superman is the charismatic lead singer,

Batman is the mysterious lead guitarist,

Flash is the charming lighthearted drummer,

Diana is the down to business, no nonsense bass guitarist

Basically! This is prefect.

Black Canary I suppose. In this iteration, I would recommend WW.

Batman has always been the rebel. Superman is the natural leader. He's the moral compass of the league. Just like Cap is with the Avengers. Batman and Iron Man finance everything. That's why Superman is front and center in the League. Look at the concept art. Who's in the center? Supes. You need a face and a man with ideals to lead.

Yeah, no.

That literally means nothing. Superman is the public face, that's all that means. Doesn't mean he is the moral compass or whatever.

(There are other heroes that look up to him, naturally though).

And frankly, that wouldn't fit in this universe. This Superman is a newbie. WW is far more experienced than anyone.

So, if Zack had to pick one as a leader (which I am not a fan of), he should go with WW.

 

[Charlatan]

Nah, Green Lantern is typically Apollo. Supes is Zeus. He's the big daddy.

nah Supes is the sun god. it's what gives him his power.

If anyone was Zeus it would be Shazam
if you're giving their powers and the sources of them more of a priority than their role in the team.

**** it man, I don't care. I'm just glad we're having a JL for us to argue and ******** about at all. 10 years ago I would've been like "yeah...ok".

 

[Broseph44]

This thread always goes off into crazy discussions and fights. The happiness about certain things goes very quickly and then the bickering and non sense continues.

 

[brandeezy89]

So it looks like WW won't finish filming until April 22nd. I'm guessing because of Gal's promo run for BvS. Also they're filming the Amazon scenes the same week BvS is released

 

[Broseph44]

Unfortunately I think it's gonna be worse after the films release. I feel like this will be MOS all over again. A lot of us loving it and a lot of others hating it. And then the years and years of debating and fighting and bickering will begin again.

Tis the calm, before a very big (an awesome) storm in 3 weeks time.

 

[Charlatan]

no one is fighting ,we're debating some silly stuff is all. It's not serious at all,just killin time is all it is. We have 3 weeks to kill

Yea some people discuss and debate in a civil way. But if you've been on the hype long enough and especially in the BvS forums, you'd know some debate and argue and fight in non civil ways.
