This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]523651[/split]
Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Anyway...
They are passionate about the character. Anyone can see that.
They scrapped Man of Steel 2 in favor of BvS, where they only gave Superman 43 lines in the theatrical cut, 36 of which were 12 words or less, almost all of which were the bare minimum he could say in the scene to allow the other person to speak.
Yeah.... not seeing that passion.

Hell, they "killed off" Superman in his second appearance on film. If that is passion from WB then that is all kinds of f***ed up, no matter how much misslane38 make excuses for it.

Rumors of a role in Shazam - probably portrayed as a menace
Dialogue isn't the only or best way to evaluate passion. It's superficial at best. The trilogy of MoS, BvS, and JL is Superman's trilogy for his monomythic arc. He is the thread binding all of those together and moving them forward, and he is the foundation upon which the first phase of the DCEU stands. Without knowing what Man of Steel 2 could have been about, it seems likely that it would have been a similar arc as what played out in BvS only with just Lex instead of Lex AND Bruce acting as antagonists.
I think it's a little ridiculous to suggest that WB has no passion for Superman. What's that based on? What YOU think should be done with the character?
It's silly to paint an entire studio with such a blanket statement. There are likely plenty of people working on these projects who are passionate about Superman. It is arrogant to believe there are no entities at the studio with passion for the character.
They may just be passionate about a different version of Superman than the most well known ones.
But come on now...
-MAN OF STEEL
-BATMAN V SUPERMAN
-Namedrop/key plot point in SUICIDE SQUAD
-JUSTICE LEAGUE
-Rumored/announced Superman solo
-Rumors of a role in Shazam
-SUPERGIRL, which is clearly heavily influenced by the Superman mythos
-A role in LEGO movie
-Superman elements in LEGO BATMAN
-Major player in multiple animated projects, multiple TV series over the years...
No passion? I'm not seeing it. As misslane has pointed out, WB has given him the Jesus treatment. You don't ascribe that kind of meaning to a character that means nothing to you as a creative force.
If JUSTICE LEAGUE and Superman are received well at all, I expect we will hear more about Superman's next film upon his return, if not multiple films with his involvement.
Suicide Squad - portrayed as a menace
How was he portrayed as a menace in Suicide Squad? His bravery and sacrifice were acknowledged; the concern was that the next 'Superman' might not be so benevolent.
But even if they did talk about Superman as a potential threat, what's wrong with that? It doesn't really happen in Suicide Squad but it does in BVS and MOS. But why is that a bad thing? I don't see how it demonstrates contempt for the character on behalf of the writers and creative team. If anything, placing him in a watered-down, kid-friendly, one-dimensional world where nobody ever stops to question the potential dangers of his near omnipotence... that would be paying real disservice to the character.
I think you people need to go watch Dr Strange a few more times. The shiny CGI will calm you down.

Sounds like they want to send out a message of reassurance.
Are you sure you want to waste your time with people who obviously have DCEU and want to see it fail?!
You're talking to a brick wall dude. There is no DC news so the hoard has come out to play and poopoo on the movies. Guess that Oscar win burn heeled.
