All Things Superman: An Open Discussion (Spoilers) - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 92

No, Bruce is too busy hooking up with Barbara Gordon to worry about Lois.

To this day, that still blows my mind.

lol; if only it'd be Christian's Bruce coming back with Anne's Selina, then I'd feel secured about this area of the film.lol

WB played this right. All these studios showing up with pretty awesome footage by any measure and WB just sends snyder to read a passage from a TPB.
Let em know who's boss.

Not gonna say they stole the show with that but whatever they did, didn't take that much effort and wb fans seems generally satisfied. It was trending for a while too. Looks like WB has finally clued into how to use their in house properties to their advantage.

 

[Loki882]

Bruce Timm had Bruce/Barbara get together specifically to mess with the audience. I'm going to guess that Lex will be a villain in the movie (he actually works as a villain for both characters). Do we think that any Batman villains will appear, and if so, who?

 

[antsman41]

Lex might be Superman's arch, but only Batman will be able to take him down once the Kryptonite comes out. Maybe Lex will help create a Clayface/Mr. Freeze/etc. to aid him, while being a Batman villain, Superman is best to take out the science fiction trash haha...

 

[Mad Love]

He's an actor, actors play different types of roles. Heath Ledger didn't come across as psychotic or insane before TDK, and we all know how well that turned out.

So you're assuming every actor has the same acting skills as Ledger?

Megan Fox is an actor. Actors play different roles. Heath Ledger. Derp.

 

[Loki882]

Megan Fox is a glorified underwear model. I can throw Anne Hathaway or Chris Evans in as well if you want. Lex/Ra's team up could be interesting.

She's an actor by profession. Changing names doesn't make that logic any more valid.

No the point he was making is that you can't judge how an actor will play a role based on their previous roles....Each actor approaches a each role from a different place.

 

[Mad Love]

That's still a weak point. Heath Ledger's acting talents were already recognized before TDK. Being able to be chameleon actors like Daniel Day-Lewis and Ledger in TDK is not the same thing as just taking on a different roles. Each actor has different ranges and most can't drastically transform themselves.

With a character like Bruce, it's smarter and more practical to cast someone who already has similar qualities.

 

[InJustice]

Is a Flash movie confirmed? I saw someone just said something about Chris Hunham (sp?) being part of the project...? Inb4BSrumour

Do people still think that guy is the forerunner even after Prim's Cowboys and Aliens type run?
Not that people don't have bad outings but this was his big debut and he was the lead..and it was expensive. I just don't think the execs are open minded enough to excuse that. I can't see them putting this dude in the lead of a flash movie all by his lonesome. Not after Lantern.

Speaking of which, he would have been a great choice.

Similar qualities like intense and scruffy looking?

Thats not at all how Hollywood casts movies. That's why that have casting sessions.

Yes it is how they do it, and there are different ways to cast FYI.

You ever heard of a casting call? They narrow actors who possess certain qualities, then they go through individual auditions.

They go through several levels of Casting. They put out word for actors in what ever qualities they deem are important to the character. example: White male, 20s, 30s.....
after that then they have the actor/actress read lines and see how they interpret the role. They are given some direction to change their performance just to test how well they can act and take direction.

That is if they don't already have someone in mind and trust me I am pretty sure they do.

All that combo does is remind me of Han Solo.

No, I don't trust anyone who asks to be trusted.

So you think WB is announcing a Superman/Batman movie, had someone make a logo...and not had someone in mind for Batman?

 

[Mad Love]

They didn't even finish writing it yet. If they didn't write it, they don't know what age Batman is going to be and other qualities so why would they have someone in mind at this point.

Side note, we don't know how permanent that logo is. Zack Snyder said he pulled up the Dark Knight Returns references just as a fun geeky way to reveal the news. That Batman symbol is the Dark Knight Returns symbol.

Because directors always have someone in mind. I guarantee you that Zack has someone in mind...probably has a secondary and a third choice too. The minute he pitched this to WB I can guarantee one of the questions asked was who?

You can assume all you want. I'm not going to.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I'm pretty much in "Whatever" mode after MOS. Based on that and how the Superman/Batman relationship is popularly shown, I'm not surprised they opened it with that quote. So, I'm prepared for Superman to look like some kind of idiot.

Yup

Thing to remember about the Dark Knight Returns us it's else worlds but its Los the most high profile meeting between the two so I think they just used the quote cause its so memorable.

Actually, I think the thing to remember is that Snyder likes Miller's work.

He gained success with the adaption of '300' and is producing the sequel.

And now he picked a line from Miller's famous Batman/Superman story. Not just any line, but one about Batman beating Superman down.

Not to mention how they ended it with Superman making friends with the military and assuring them he only has America's interests at heart and is on their side...

Oh god, I think I feel sick.

I think the first three X-Men films are a good indication as to what we can expect from Batman and Superman when you think about Wolverine and Cyclops.

Yeah unfortunately Wolverine popped into my head too...

 

[Herolee10]

Yup

Well to be honest, in that military scene, Superman also said that he's willing to help BUT ON HIS OWN TERMS..and he even told the military at the interrogation that they were never going to control him.

 

[Marvin]

He also took out one of their drones(pretty controversial these days).
However in DKR superman is a gov't man and batman is a fashist of a sort.
