Justice League Status Updates Thread - Part 1

[Revenger]

No, he's 6'2. Cavill is 6'1

Affleck is closer to 6'3. Cavill is closer to 6'0. Here he is next to Amell whos 6'1.

Not everyone can be bought. People like Hamm and Gosling have ideas about what kinds of projects they will and won't do, and they've shown little to no interest in anything spandex related. Fawning over them won't change that.

This whole thing can be said about MOST prominent actors today. Ha your argument is so stupid. Fawning over any actor not just those 3 changes nothing, you must have a pretty big ego to think that fancasting matters whatsoever.

If the script and ideas interest them, theres a good chance theyd be a part of something like this, Ryan Gosling has responded positively to doing a superhero movie with Refn, look it up. Thats how it is with any good actor who cares about their career, they CHOOSE the roles they want, if the project interests them. The projects Ryan Gosling has been attached to have either been shelved and doomed from the beginning almost (Justice League Mortal) or just plain bad (Green Lantern).

Youre not Ryan Gosling or Jon Hamm.

If youre going to say which roles they will or wont choose, then you should be saying that over every actor because you dont have some inside knowledge on what roles Hamm or Gosling want.

If the project is interesting, there is talent associated with it, and it has a good script, Im sure both of those guys would be interested, especially after how successful the rival teams superhero movie was.

bale would come back. give him a **** load of money and a director he'd respect, and I'm sure he'd return.

if he comes back,

"If Chris came to me with a script..."

Now, you have to find a way to convince Nolan to come back. It ain't happenin'.

 

[Revenger]

Exactly. Hamm is a chill dude.

You cant see their shoes though this picture isnt very credible. And thats how tall those actors are listed as on multiple websites.

 

[Revenger]

Its not like Amell is wearing high heels. But websites can be deceptive. I remember when Sam Worthington used to be listed in the 6 foot tall range. cavill is just over 6'0.

the fact that he's willing to come back, even if it's only with nolan is enough for me to think he'd come back with some prying. there's a chance. I'm not a fortune teller and neither are you. I'd rather believe there's a chance then to take some random poster on a forums word for it. think what you will and I'll do the same.

Just because fancasting doesn't "matter" doesn't mean people shouldn't have realistic expectations about it. Overzealous fanboys get latched onto the idea of a certain actor for a certain role, and then they lash out when "their guy" isn't picked.

And you think they haven't been offered the chance to compete for some of these roles? They haven't taken the bait yet. There's no reason to expect them to.

Youre not Ryan Gosling or Jon Hamm.

No, but I actually listen to what they've said. Gosling might be on the fence, but that's about it.

I always felt like the town took a lot of directorial elements from the dark knight.

I'm not asking you take my word for it. Christian Bale says he'd maybe do it if Nolan was involved. Nolan has said he's definitely done. That's about as definitive as it gets.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

the fact that he's left the door open just a little bit is enough for me to think otherwise. even if that batman was nolan and bale's baby, they're not going to go along in their careers tied to the hip making every single film together. maybe nolan's blessing is all he'd need to don the cowl again. who knows? i don't. personally, i hope he comes back. even if only for JL films. WB will be better for it. beats rebooting the ****ing thing in 5 years.

I agree the reboot is going to feel a little rushed, but Nolan and Bale really ended their Batman story in a final place. As much as I would have liked "cowl continuity," if you will, it wouldn't make much sense for Bale-Batman to return. Unless they tried to say that the events of the JL movie(s) took place simultaneously with BB and TDK, which would feel odd - especially since Bale isn't getting any younger.

 

[Revenger]

If Bale's Batman is in JL, the script will have to explain what happened to Blake, how Wayne comes back from the 'dead,' what happened to Selina, why he decides to be Batman again etc..

Will Beales will have to basically write a sequel to TDKR.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Or, if they really want to go with continuity they can just have JGL play the role. I think that's a horrible idea though.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

the ending of dkr left that open to interpretation. i don't see how it would be all that difficult to include him even if you don't alluded to the Nolan run.

Spoiler

he faked his death and reporter clark kent finds out he's alive.

the event that would transpire in a JL film would be enough of an excuse for kent to go to him for a little help. he doesn't plan on coming back, then he does.

But how would Clark Kent know the identity of Batman? [blackout]Gordon never reveals it to the public, as evidenced by his exchange with Blake at Wayne Manor after the funeral.[/blackout]

i think a reporter with his particular talents would be smart enough to put two and two together. obviously i don't expect this to happen since he hung up the cowl but....

Assuming he could figure out Bats' identity, the next question then is: how can he find him? Only Bruce and Alfred know about that "cafe in Florence" thing. Sure, Superman can fly around the world, but where would he look?

well, he can start with alfred. maybe he knows. depending on the severity of the situation, the threat, alfred would give in and let him know.

But he'd need to find Alfred, then. I assumed that when Wayne Manor was repurposed as a boys' home, Alfred retired to Florence. It would be kinda cool if he stayed on with the boys' home, though. Especially if he were to mentor Blake.

that's the thing though, [BLACKOUT]it wasn't as if alfred faked his own death[/BLACKOUT] i think he'd certainly leave behind "fingerprints". i don't think finding alfred is that much of a hurdle.

No, but I actually listen to what they've said. Gosling might be on the fence, but that's about it.

I was saying that Gosling was offered those roles. He turned them down because JL:M seemed doomed to fail already, and GL had a horrible script. My argument was that if either of those projects seemed promising, like if it had a director he has worked with before or talented actors involved or a better story then I dont think it would be unlikely for Gosling to take on a role in a superhero movie. WB clearly wants him for one, its a matter of what project though and who is working on it.

Will Beall did write Gangster Squad, a movie that Gosling stars in. If thats sucessful I don't see why that wouldnt help the chances of him being in Justice League.

While this Batman was great, I really don't see Superman flying all over the world to find him.

Batman is important to the JLA, but he's not important enough to make that credible in a world where Supes never met him before.

 

[Panthro]

After Avengers makes a billion dollars and their billion dollar batman/harry potter franchises are done. Yeah, this is definitely when WB is least committed to a Justice League film.

This is WB we're talking about, the company that made Halle Berry's Catwoman, the company that can't even get a solo Wonder Woman feature off the ground, that green-lit the nostalgia love letter 'Superman Returns', that failed to launch a proper Green Lantern franchise, and basically lucked out with Harry Potter and acquiring Chris Nolan to reboot Batman. They either don't have the competence to do it right or they don't have the conviction to do it right.

 

[marcvader]

Deadline is reporting that Affleck has already turned this down.
