All Things Superman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - Part 73

[J.Howlett]

I think in the Access Hollywood video, Amy says Lois is clued in. She's not having to deny things along the way. She's entrusted with info. More and more evidence pours in telling us Lois knows his secret.

Which is perfectly fine.

 

[Shikamaru]

I'm personally not too fond of the idea of Lois being clued in from the very first movie. I would like the see the usual Clark/Lois relationship prior to that.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I'm good with Lois knowing. Come to think of it, I haven't seen a cbm in a while where the love interest didn't already know/find out the hero's identity in the first movie.

Peter and Gwen, Tony and Pepper, Steve and Peggy, Bruce and Betty, Bruce W. and Selina, Bruce W. and Rachel, Thor and Jane, etc.

Did anyone else get that MOS special of Little White Lies?

Mine just arrived this morning, and it looks like a good read. Not got time to read it tonight, but looking forward to doing so tomorrow

I thought there was a review inside the magazine.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

This. And if I were WB, I'd have another character ready to go for Summer 2017...be it Wonder Woman, Flash, or Batman. But have something ready for the following summer after Man of Steel 2 hits in Summer 2016.

They SHOULD do Wonder Woman. They WILL do Batman.
But the third film should either be MOS3, or World's Finest. But Superman/Batman ABSOLUTELY has to come before Justice League.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Which is perfectly fine.

Agreed. It's something different from the usual way the relationship is handled and is totally fine with me.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I thought there was a review inside the magazine.

Nope, it's a bunch of articles about the film:

– Zack To Front: a critical re-appreciation of Man Of Steel's dirctor Zack Snyder
– Studio Supermen: crunching the stats to reveal why Nolan and Snyder are Hollywood's heroes
– Apex Twin: like Kal-El himself, Christopher Nolan seeks to give us the best of both worlds
– Amazing Adventures: how Pulitzer-prizing-winning novel 'The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier And Clay' retells the heartbreaking tale of the two boys who invented Superman
– Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane?: LWLies reveals Supes' true identity
– How Superman Defeated The Ku Klux Klan: the remarkable true story of a secret hero and a gang of masked villains
- No More Mr Nice Guy: the most outrageous Superman comic-book covers you'll ever see
- Earth's Real Supermen: faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall building in a single bound!
- Woman Of Steel: meet the inspiration behind Lois Lane and one of the 20th century's most remarkable women

If I had my way;

Man of Steel 2-Summer 2016
Wonder Woman-Summer 2017
Batman Reboot-Summer 2018
Man of Steel 3-Summer 2019
Trinity/World's Finest-Summer2021

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I don't have that patience. You're talking about getting a WF movie 8 years from now.

 

[roach]

If I had my way;

Man of Steel 2-Summer 2016
Wonder Woman-Summer 2017
Batman Reboot-Summer 2018
Man of Steel 3-Summer 2019
Trinity/World's Finest-Summer2021

so we wait 5-6 years for a JL movie????

 

[TheIrishAvenger]

It's going to be Man of Steel 2 in 2016...

What I should have said, lol.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

If I had my way;

Man of Steel 2-Summer 2016
Wonder Woman-Summer 2017
Batman Reboot-Summer 2018
Man of Steel 3-Summer 2019
Trinity/World's Finest-Summer2021

Perfect.

 

[J.Howlett]

Damn right. Do it right or don't do it all.

I'm not down with Marvel/Disney's two films a year plan. Overexposure with that kind of plan. And that doesn't even count the Marvel films that aren't under the Disney Banner.

 

[Herolee10]

I wouldn’t be against the idea of having an ensemble film AFTER Superman gets one more film under his belt, provided that MOS 2 isn’t used as an springboard to get to JLA like how the likes of Iron Man 2 was.

I mean if I had a nickel for every time I saw a TV Spot for Iron Man 2 or even Captain America where they tried to emphasize on new team ups and partners (as though they were getting the audiences ready to the idea of superhero team ups), I’d be pretty rich right now.lol

JLA can’t be a rushed property, even more so now that we’ve gotten the Avengers. Warner Bros and DC have to strive to be better than Marvel when it comes to their biggest superhero ensemble. If they rush their cards, they could make maybe 900 million, but if they take patience, they could end up making over a billion.

 

[Kane52630]

In regards to JLA/Worlds Finest/ect movie, I'll believe it when I see it. As of now sadly, it's still hard to believe WB is capable to get their sh** together to work on another DC movie.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Now come on, JL not making a billion or over it? Nah. Even if it came out in 2015.

 

[Herolee10]

Indeed. Like others said, Marvel didn't go from Iron Man 1 to the Avengers right away. They waited 4 years to release "The Avengers" after the release of Iron Man 1, while releasing other properties in the meantime.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

I don't have that patience. You're talking about getting a WF movie 8 years from now.

Yeah. That's why I wanted World's Finest after Wonder Woman. It allows MOS3 to have more time to be written so that it's epic, while serving as a lead-in to Justice League.

 

[Herolee10]

Now come on, JL not making a billion or over it? Nah. Even if it came out in 2015.

If it has an crappy or medicore script, along with not having the best actors to portray the right roles, then yeah, it won't make past a billion.

That's what could happen if they were to rush an release for an JLA film after the release of MOS.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

**** right. Do it right or don't do it all.

I'm not down with Marvel/Disney's two films a year plan. Overexposure with that kind of plan. And that doesn't even count the Marvel films that aren't under the Disney Banner.

Marvel's approach was under a guided plan, and even I'll admit this isn't the best approach. I'd rather wait the better part of a decade for a GOOD or GREAT JLA then 2-3 years for a poor one. Even TA took four years to develop-and that's with Marvel cranking out films.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I doubt the things you mentioned would occur even if JL were to release in 2015. That's just my perception.

With that said, I don't see JL making less than a billion.

 

[Manosman]

If it has an crappy or medicore script, along with not having the best actors to portray the right roles, then yeah, it won't make past a billion.

That's what could happen if they were to rush an release for an JLA film after the release of MOS.

If they do JL right after MOS and it's no good, they basically killed off all franchises in one fatal blow. Plus nothing is established, it would be silly to just jump into it.

 

[TheIrishAvenger]

MOS 2 - Summer '16
Wonder Woman - Winter '17
World's Finest - Summer '18
Justice League - Summer 2020
Man Of Steel 3 - Summer '21

I can dream, right?

 

[MrMaooz]

If MOS 2 does come out in 2015, do you expect the typical 3rd weekend in July?

 

[StarLord]

Did anyone else get that MOS special of Little White Lies?

Mine just arrived this morning, and it looks like a good read. Not got time to read it tonight, but looking forward to doing so tomorrow

I do plan on picking one up soon.

Looks awesome!
