My problem is when people get so wrapped up in the mythical aspects of it all that they forget about the humanity.

And I'm not knocking people for how they interpret these characters. They mean something specific to everyone. But as an example there are people out there that can't picture Bruce and Diana going to the Kent farm for dinner. I'm thinking wtf?

It just happened last week in Trinity #1. In the Timm verse Clark and Bruce would meet up at Mom & Pop Diners to shoot the **** all the time. Even in the maligned New 52 Clark and Diana would date as civilians. And this is just Post Crisis. I can only imagine the "human silliness" that went down in the Silver Age.

Like you said idiot, at heart Clark is a blue collar farm boy. He's a foreigner raised in the US. These are things that we relate to. There is enough time in a 2 hour movie to be in awe of the JL's epic feats and also to think "damn, they're just like me, but on a grander scale."

 

[Question]

The DC heroes are both larger than life "gods" and men. They're like Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Charlemagne. They do things that are on a larger scale beyond anything that most people can do or even think of, but they are also human with very human traits. Both aspects are equally important to their mythos and there should be balance between them.

Exactly.Completely agreed on all points. There needs to be a balance. These characters are about their humanity. Clark is all about doing things the right way. Barry is just a regular guy who tries to save all the people he can as he views his powers as a gift. Arthur is just a guy who is trying to balance his humanity and his royal heritage. These characters are inherently human. I loved Trinity #1. Loved how we saw the whole thing from Lois's perspective. The interaction between them at the table, thats what makes the characters so dear to us!!

At the same time, these characters enable the writers to tell larger-than-life grandiose stories which have a epic feel. Like I said its all about the balance, and these characters have all these aspects and without them they would be incomplete. So when someone says DC characters are "not relatable" or "not mythic" I just dont agree.They are both, and thats what makes them great.

Correct

 

[ManWithNoName18]

I expected this, so I'm not really surprised.

Here's hoping Zack goes out with a bang with Justice League.

I mean he's still directing JL 2 as of now untill otherwise said by either himself or WB.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

just like your whole dc is doom thang annoys the hell out of me, but i just scroll past it. Go ahead, bae.

That aint going to bring the bald man back.

And you are back to the childish taunts again. News Flash, you aren't being funny.

Zack Snyder and Geoff Johns working on MOS2:

Nothing has been confirmed. At all. All we know is that they are developing a solo Superman sequel.

 

[morningmimosa]

The fun police has spoken.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Whoop whoop, dats da sound of da beast!!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

The fun police has spoken.

But seriously I know nothing is confirmed. I'm just excited for a great follow up to MOS. I loved MOS and I'm very happy to hear that Snyder might be attached to the project in some capacity. t:

 

[Da-Scribe]

I'd rather Snyder produce. I loved MoS and BvS, but I'd like to see the character under some different direction. New blood and all that.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Zack can produce, fine. Let him give his 2 cents, but I sure hope that's all it is. He's directing JL because they practically fast tracked the film into production and it would have been even more of a disaster had they given him the boot. Anything post JL, he should just be another person in the room.

Hopefully whoever directs gets to make the movie they want. And hopefully the next director is good.

That's how I feel.

And I don't give a crap about getting a "big name" I'm more concerned with the getting the right director. I really should be saying this in the MOS2 thread.

DEFINITELY DEATHSTROKE IN THAT STORYBOARD

put him in JL

 

[Dark_Lord]

That's Deathstroke in those storyboards. Nice.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

DEFINITELY DEATHSTROKE IN THE PICTURES HE IS DRAWING

put him in JL

AAAWWW, you're right.

 

[Angel0fDeath]

There's your confirmation that Deathstroke is in JL.

 

[The Don]

Hyped to see some Deathstroke fight choreography with Snyder imagery in JL.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Of course Deathstoke is in JL, I don't get why anyone thought otherwise?

 

[BlueLanternKal]

I wonder what he's going to be doing. With or against the JL? I can't see Slade helping aliens conquer Earth. But if he's doing his own thing like stealing Batman's JL contingencies then **** just got real.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Or Ben decided he's not directing the batsolo and his good friend Zack finally gets to make the batman movie he always dreamed of, but without that bald necksnapping menace in the way!

I kid.

 

[Sleiek]

Snyder tries to put too much awesome stuff in one movie, me thinks. It may not be the best idea.

But at the same time, Batman needs someone to fight too. Oh man, I hope it works.

I really like the Batgauntlets. So organic.

Now this is funny.

Is it possible to have too much awesome **** in one movie ?
