While a Bond-like run for Superman or Batman would be awesome I don't see it happening. For whatever reason it seems to be easy for Hollywood to churn out Bond flicks but they struggle with even making three good superhero films. I'm worried about building a solid trilogy for now.
Bond flicks arent part of a continuity anyway (Casino and Quantum are the exception) and that helps disregard a bad movie if it comes along. But in a continuity, a bad film could destroy the overarching story and the franchise. But they should do it.
Lex wouldn't have to die. He could always develop amnesia or have his mind wiped or something. It would depend if the studio wanted more movies after the trilogy.
Hm, never thought of that. But seriously, the moment Lex finds out about Superman's identity, he will unleash bad place on earth (or on Kansas more accurately) so... i dont see how it would work.
It just seems odd for these superpowered beings to sit in a jail cell, that's all.
They have cells that are built specifically to contain each one. Like how they had Freeze jailed in B&R or Magneto in the X-men movies.
I'm not worried about JL and solo franchises tying together for the time being, seeing as how WB has struggled with its superheroes other than Batman. The JL movie, if we get it, will probably exist in its own universe.
DC has a tendency to screw up even the easiest things. I personally would like the JL to be in the same universe as the heroes, so that the same heroes take part in it. Reading DC comics you'll enjoy how wider DC events affect each franchise, and how the smaller events affect the JL events.
Besides, as i said, the JL provides a new angle from which to examine the characters, so why wouldnt you use the same ones you've built over the course of their own movies?
I want to see Bale's Batman copying with superpowered beings, coming up with contingency plans, making up his lack of brawn with brain, etc.
Why should they use a new batman that we dont know anything about?
Just wait and see how the Avengers is going to play out. Hopefully it will be glorious.
Besides, maybe a JL wont be easy for the general audience to digest, but what about a Trinity (BM, SM, WW) film, or any other team up film for that matter?
He doesn't have to, but I'm not opposed to it. I've seen too many villains killed in superhero movies to be bothered by it.
I am not bothered by death itself, but by the fact that the universe is empty of villains at the end of each movie. Why wouldnt you keep the villains alive to be used in the future?
The Joker didn't guess Batman's identity, but he did guess that Rachel and Harvey were important to him. Parasite could do the same thing. Like I said earlier, Parasite could tap into Superman's memories and briefly see Lois and the staff of the DP without learning his secret identity.
He doesnt have to. Everybody knows that there is something going on between him and Lois, and she is always getting in trouble anyway, either because the villain intended it, or because she foolishly stepped right into it.
