So...when you go to a movie you want what?
A good film.
PPSSSSST! Don't tell no one, but they still CAN'T "make other DC super-hero franchises which aren't Batman and Superman"!
They do, but its incredibly rare and usually crappy.
It's really quite confusing. Surely they want their super-hero films to succeed? They cant get cash from a super-hero franchise they kill.
If you really think anything else is moving, is something more than a script, then, well, I guess i can apreciate a man of faith.
That wouldn't surprise me at this point.
You really oughtta pay attention to Warner. They are "reactors". They'll never get anything done.
They react to what they want to react to.
Marvel's been making good super-hero movies for years but WB's response has been crappy adaptions, a defanged Americanized Hellblazer, comic adaptions which aren't super-hero films, a weak Superman and good Batman films.
Dark Horse is even giving them a run for their money in the genre with Hellboy.
The film industry is under-going a super-hero craze and all they can do is give us Batman.
If you think they won't cancell Green Lantern because Star Trek fails, then just you wait.
True.
It really doesn't make any sense, though. By that logic GL should be fine since TDK was a hit.
But if you're willing to wait more for nothing then more power to ya'.
It's better then watching terrible adaptions.
The important thing is that the movie delivers
And if it doesn't Miller would have killed about seven potentially huge super-hero franchises at once.
and insofar neither you nor anyone alse has shown me the script that has the movie be horrible,
Fair enough.
or even a wrong representation of the characters.
They hired Megan Gale to be WW. They may as well have put a bullet to the WW franchise's head with that.
Wich really lends itself to me thinking that opinion is drawn directly from someone's rectum.
You think everything was going great for JL, then? What did you like about it?
Well, straight up Superhero movies, the only one between Batman and Robin and Batman Begins was Catwoman, and it's potential as a Superhero franchise is arguable at best.
The reason it didn't have much potential is because they didn't come close to using it.
They took away any connection to Batman in it, didn't use any comic characters which made the title Catwman iconic in the first place, altered the mythos completely into being a bad Cheetah impersonation and execute it horribly.
Potential only works if it's used.
Ony a complete idiot could have screwed that movie up and WB found that idiot.
You want it either to be a blooming forest or a desert and that's it?
It's already a desert.
WB needs their training wheels for the solo super-hero films. This requires one or two then expanding once they're sure they got it right. JL is beyond that. They can't even get one lesser super-hero right what makes you think they can take several at once?
Well, that's your prerrogative I guess, but I still don't see why the hate on the movie itself.
JL failing removes the possibility of there ever being a "forest" of the high profile superheroes and possibly other non-Batman and Superman super-hero films as well.
That's to much risk at once. It's unnecessary.
And what's the point of not being bombarded with "crappy" films if the alternative is no films at all?
Because it means WB might use them proerly in the future if they finaly get around it.
A bad film not only doesn't show the public its potential, it taints how Hollywood and the public view it for future generations and the franchise gets buried.
Lowering your standards only mean WB will make more crappy adaptions.
They're not "saving " the franchises, more like, stowing them forever.
Like that's any better.
If your point is that if they don't make it the best film in history(c) they're destroying any film possibilities is ridiculous.
It's true.
Any failed movie or high profile project put the franchise on the line.
The only ones except are Superman and Batman since they have faith since their succeeded since prior generations made enough good work to make relevant, good versions in different high profile formats and allowed the public to know those two franchises on an intimate level so they know what theyre getting into.
No other DC franchise has it on that level like those two.
If they don't make ANY movies ever, that doesn't make it more likely a good movie will be done!
It's better then watching crap. Why would I want to watch a horrible movie about a franchise I care about? Especially when I know the people making it can do a better job with their adptions.
If the characters don't ever get done in film and other mediums that means more people fail to have access to the characters.
People aren't going to care about the characters if they are given sub-standard movies or tv shows about them.
They're going to avoid them and WB will bury them in a vault for decades.
By your standards, if they hadn't done the many Batman movies and cartoon they have done, then we'd still have had Batman Begins and Dark Knight? Beach, Pleez!
No, I mean if they did their usual tactics they employ today Batman would have stopped existing in solo movies, cartoons etc after Adam West's show.
That's what they've done to the lesser properties.
Obviously the more known characters get done more, wich makes them even more known wich makes them more profitable wich makes it more likely Warner will reserve a space in their schedule for them.
Only that hasn't worked out very well for them, either. Even when they succeed for a time they get ignored not set up to the next stage.
The only lesser property they did this with was Justice League and they still couldn't set it up properly where its failure wouldn't hurt its lesser franchises.
WIch is why, since Harry Potter is more known than Green Lantern, it's very likely Green Lantern stays in the land of scripts.
Wonder Woman was more known before Harry Potter was a hit it still didn't get a big budget, A-list cast great film or even an excellent cartoon series.
It's WB's own fault GL and the others aren't more popular. They have the resources to do this yet they chooose not to. How do they expect the public to become fans of something they never see?
No-one's going to care about GL untl they do something about it, it was the same with Harry Potter. No-one cared until Rowling did her books, built up the franchise's name with good product in the public and raised its profile into juggarnaut status. WB could do this with any of their lesser properties and some are easier to do this then others like Wonder Woman, Legion and Teen Titans.
But you like reading scripts of websites, don'tcha?
I like good results. WB hasn't delivered them.
