Lounge of Justice - Part 90

I wonder if this indicates that WB could have no plans for another Superman movie at the moment.

that's what i feel too.
bummer if so.

As I said in the other thread I am not thrilled about this mainly because I just don't trust Superman in the hands of the Supergirl team.

That’s not the Supergirl team. No one from the actual writing staff of Supergirl is mentioned. Todd Helbing, the guy developing it, is from the Flash team. In fact, I’ve always considered him the best of the Flash writing staff, as he and his brother wrote the best episodes of S1 (“The Man in the Yellow Suit,” “Out of Time”) that made me like the show in the first place. So if anyone from the Berlanti crew had to be writing this, I’m so glad it’s him.

I would of course prefer this be for HBO Max, and I wish they’d recast Lois, but I love Tyler as Supes so I’m thrilled about this. The prospect of getting new adventures of my favorite character (finally featuring a version of that character I actually like) on a weekly basis has me giddy.

Other than the complaints about Superman being nerfed in favor of Supergirl...why?

Is it the same team? Hopefully they're focused on good stories and characters and not on agendas.

Edit: okay, not the same team. Good.

Well the cat's out of the bag now, maybe we'll get Zoe in GCS with Margot.

 

[MbJ]

Also this lends some credence to that rumor about WB planning Blue Beetle and Green Lantern stuff for streaming, since this was one of the projects listed in the same post.

Because I have no desire to see a team Superman.

 

[heatvision38]

While I didn't necessarily care for some of how they treated Superman in plenty of scenes, what got me to stop watching Supergirl was the writing, more specifically it felt less about the stories and characters and more about agenda-fied stories. We seem to be getting a lot of that from Hollywood today and those turn me off.

Oh, but...Dean Cain could be on it. Dean Cain!

If the team is Superman, Lois and Jon Kent, that dynamic has worked pretty well in the more recent comics.

Agreed but once again I just dont trust the CW with Superman. I feel this would've been better served if they put it on the DC app or HBO Max. Because to truly make this show work you would almost have to rewrite the whole history of the Supergirl show. I mean it should be Superman, not Supergirl who inspires the Legion. If they do become one earth after COIE then it should be Superman not Supergirl who inspires everyone and who the Flash and Arrow first worked with. The problem with doing this and the way they written Superman and establishes him already Supergirl comes off looking more like Superman than he does and that is a big problem for me.

 

[Greenlite]

So CW has Arrow coming to an end and Flash is well past halfway, Supergirl's probably past halfway as well, now they're pumping out Superman, Batwoman and Black Canaries (?)

Not sure if Black Lightning is on CW or not, hasn't seen it yet =P

I'm gonna brag about myself and say I called it when they cast Lois for the crossovers last year, lol.

If they wanna do GL and BB etc I hope these go to HBO like Watchmen since CW has enough on its plate now, I was hoping Superman can be on HBO as well but they've already set it up with Supergirl....not into CW and cheese these days unless they repeat a Flash S1, but cheese and love triangle/will they won't they will still be there with CW...

I saw the Batwoman ad here in NZ in the weekend (they have so many billboards around town for it yet it's only on Ondemand and not even on proper TV hours) and the girl's like "(the suit's perfect) not until it fits a woman *wink"

I thought she should have said "(the suit's perfect) well not until it fits a lesbian" that'd make twitter trend for days for all reasons positive and negative and the rating would be through the roof (conversations would be like "WTF why did she say that" "she's a L you dumb f***" "they're changing Batwoman to homosexual!" "BW's a lesbian you dumb f***") =P

I won't deny the cheese will be there, but they've already established that this is family man Supes who's married with a kid, so I think we're at least safe from the love triangle, will they/won't they nonsense.

I would like to think positive but in the films they had Superman stalking Lois who's married to Cyclops and it seemed like Cyclops loses again even though he legally married the girl this time, and when it comes to CW all bets are off as you had Felicity just banging Ray and Oliver in quick succession because she was stressed out or something and Ray got dumped like a waste (maybe Cyclops' fan wrote it =P).

I could totally see in S2 or 3 Clarke meets Lana and temptation sets in, and Lois is lonely due to Clarke saving the world all day and some handsome CW dude comes in and tries to seduce her, and she does the right thing at the end, after 12 episodes =P

The only ones that I would like to see that didn't come off was Grant Gustin and Danielle Panabacker those two have some serious chemistry Danielle should have been cast as Iris instead (I think Iris is much less annoying now but wife still hates her from the first few seasons lol)

 

[KalvinEllis]

How do you do Green Lantern on TV, whether it's HBO Max or not. I doubt they would invest 30M per an episode, so what is this going to be about even if it only takes place on Earth. Kyle making a few halfway decent constructs against some bank robbers and then spending the rest of the episode in a love triangle with Jade and Donna?

Eh, Supes has always fared better on TV than in movies, imo, and they've already got the best Flash writer who made S1 great as the one who's developing it, so I'm not too worried about any of that. CW sucks at romance, but their biggest strength is probably family dynamics (particularly in Black Lightning, Flash and Supergirl), and that's what will be at the heart of this show, so it should be playing to their strengths out of the gate.

would love to see blue beetle live action.
would love it even more if they somehow did animal man live action too, but he ain't popular enough.

not HBO Max? =P

Maybe they'll have an episode where Hal just negotiates with Sinestro in a spaceship (room) with tense background music (a copycat version of Hans Zimmer) while Jessica and others listen in from their boardroom in intense fashion, and one of them makes jokes with light music in the background to ease the tension?

That's like 3M per episode =P

I heard someone saying it could be done like Star Trek

I’m down for Superman & Lois and I like the how the premise seems to focus on them being parents! Thats a fresh take on Supes imo. My only two trepidations are:

1) Fix the damn suit. Its ugly. Get rid of it. Give him a classic Superman look. Its not that hard.

2) i do not want this to follow the Arrowverse formula of Superman working with a team of quirky, snarky tech support people who are feeding Supes info via com link while he’s fighting Braniac. He’s Superman, he doesnt fight on a team (uh, unless its the Justice League). Focus on Superman just being SUPERMAN.

If they fix these things i’m all in.

Cavill and Adams onscreen as parents would have been a perfect progression on the big screen, sigh =P Would be funny if Kal-El puts his hand on his ear listening to his earpiece lol

What if there's a team of quirky, snarky tech people who are feeding him info via superhearing?

Well u got me there. Lmao

lol they're just in a room speaking in a low whisper with no communications equipment present.

 

[KalvinEllis]

You're missed, Darwyn.

 

[chintai80]

new frontier prolly one of the best drawn and best DC graphic novels i read.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Finally happened.

Might as well considering how obvious it’s been that the movie people have zero plans for the character anytime soon
