Man Of Steel Soars @ Comic Con - Part 2

[Kal-El.9859]

I like Affleck....I wish he'd take it

 

[KalMart]

I think he's smart to decline.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Agreed.

 

[BestGirl]

I also agree. If he wasn't comfortable with the idea of directing a Superman movie then I don't know how he could've handled the JL.

 

[KalMart]

If he doesn't actually want to do a superhero movie, then he doesn't really need it.

 

[roach]

DD has soured him on superhero movies

 

[flickchick85]

Can't say I blame him there.

 

[BH/HHH]

Well there's been no official confirmation he has declined in terms of the meeting anyway but I don't think he'll take it. They may be able to convince him to take on Batman when its rebooted but I don't think he'd touch JL.

 

[Micromind]

^^ He may take up Batman.

So, Brad Bird for Justice League.

Would love that but I think the rumour was they'll look at David Yates next

Vibe I get is studio-driven, tentpoles as a whole soured him. Save for his bit in He's Just Not That Into You, a case where he either took the money or did as a favor.

Iron Giant and The Incredibles convinced me that Bird might make a pretty great Superman adventure, but with the approach they're taking with MOS I think Bird might not be "hard" enough.
Of course, he did do the latest Mission: Impossible. Havent seen that one.

Yates might sound more probable, but I dunno if it's up his alley.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I've not been that excited for MoS in all honesty, but some of the footage we have seen (now that there is footage) makes me now excited for this movie. It seems to me that we're finally getting a Superman movie that might make his connection to Earth and humanity a primary focus, and this makes me happy.

As for Affleck on JL, I doubt he takes it as well, but if he did I'd be more interested. Right now, I would be more excited for solos based on Superman, Flash, etc than I am Justice League. Affleck could maybe change that, but like you guys, I doubt he takes it.

 

[GreenKToo]

To me, Affleck seems more suited for a W.F. film. I really wish WB would do that first. It would be a good way to set up a JL film if they are so dead set on making one.

 

[charl_huntress]

W.F. film...I really wish WB would do that first. It would a good way to set up a JL film if they are so dead set on making one.

Agreed

Not sure I get the Affleck fascination, but I can understand why some think so.

 

[GreenKToo]

A WF film would be awesome......It would be so simple to set up JL in it.

Have Lex and Metallo team up with the Joker and Solomon Grundy. The villains each switch cities, Joker to metropolis, Lex to Gotham.

The kicker is they would have out of this world ( literally) weapons. It could be discovered toward the end, after the villains are defeated, that a higher power was behind the scenes pulling the strings, ie, Brainiac or Darkseid, and they were just testing the waters before they invade to steal all the Eath's resources, and to ultimately destroy it in the end.

When the Invasion plans are discovered, Bats and Supes know they will need help.
Last shots of the film could show Bats and Supes out in the world recruiting the likes of the flash, WW, etc etc...(It will be a massive invasion plan. It will have to be in order to cause supes and bats to seek out help.)

Thats if they are set on a JL film. I'd be happy with just a WF film myself.

 

[charl_huntress]

I wouldn't mind seeing Supes in Gotham fighting crime....LOL. That sounds cool!

 

[GreenKToo]

Really, an invasion is the only way to go, UNLESS, they intend to go the Doomsday route. He would certainly need something like a JL to stop him.

Before BB came out, the TAS '"World's Finest" was, I felt, the best representation of Batman outside of the comic page yet. Those episodes were beautifully put together. It'd be great if a live action could capture some of that sort of mean fun that Batman/Wayne was having with Kent, maybe moving in on Lois, Supes showing at times how easy it is to just end something, etc.

I agree, and thats the Batman I would want in a WF and/or JL film.

I truly love STAS WF and I agree! My second fav is the eposide where Supes dressed as Batman and beat the crap out of Bane...lol. Classic!

I would really like to see WF in film. I agree as well with GreenKToo that it's a better route to go before any potential JL movie. Plus, I think the team up of Bats and Supes is awesome and should be explored in film. Their buddy comics are the best IMO.

 

[GreenKToo]

Yup. I think it would be beyond cool to see them mistrusting each other at first, then by the end they are best friends.

"Knight Time" I believe. That was good to. I like how Drake was telling him "..you have to look angrier...", poking fun at Batman being such a sourpuss.

"Over The Edge" was pretty jaw-droppingly good.

I remember with the W.F. one....I caught like the last five minutes of the last episode when it played on TV...and it was like "Whoa....what the...this looks like it was amazing, what did I miss?" Then it was on VHS O) as 'The Batman/Superman Movie' with some very childish-looking cover art, and I got a little worried. But then I watched it, and I wondered why this wasn't being hailed as a huge achievement.

Y'know...I'm frankly not crazy about the idea of a Bats/Supes 'buddy' movie, but I would like to see them at odds or at war...maybe like in the Dark Knight Rises comic. I don't know what Peterson's aborted Batman vs. Superman storyline was, but of course it would end up that they were ultimately fighting for the same goals. Something more iconoclastic and that perhaps portrays a darker side of the concept of Superman, and Batman somehow being the only human aside from Luthor who really could possibly find a way to kill Superman if he wanted to.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Yup. I think it would be beyond cool to see them mistrusting each other at first, then by the end they are best friends forever.

LOL...I taped it on VHS

I think for DC cartoon fanatics it is hailed, but not so much in the GA which is a shame. I get on Timm sometimes for being such a Batman fanboy, but some of the things in he did were truly ground breaking. I always love that some of the characters he helped to create like Harley and Mercy are fan favorites and have crossed over.

I can't recall Over the Edge...was that BTAS or STAS?

"Buddy" is the wrong wrong. I like when they are at odds and challenge each others points of view. I meant buddy like team up. Whenever they team up I really like it...if it's done well.

I think Batman/Bruce is one of the few people people who really get Superman/Clark, but they have radically opposed way of going about things, but they fight for the same cause. That's what makes that "team up" exciting.
