I'm not feeling young Bruce from him...eh

 

[Webhead2006]

we should all be thankful though since jla failed to happen wb finally saw its better to do solo films first. As to now if we are ever going to get anything else from the bros warner with dc comics is another thing.

Speak for yourself, buddy. Or better yet, come back and say that 20 years from now when there still isn't a JLA movie.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Bio... what part of the isle do you reside?

 

[biolumen]

Honolulu area of Oahu.

 

[Webhead2006]

well yes i would love to see jla happen in the next few yrs and i hope it wont take more then 10yrs to happen but millar's jl could have been a crappy take on the characters and totally bombed for all we know. but hopefully if they can get gl off the ground and filming this yr, another batman after, fix superman, maybe we can see a faster, and done properly jl.

For all we know, the JLA movie we might get 23 years from now will at that time remind us a movie 27 years previous called 'Fantastic Four'. Tell us soothsayer, will it be worth the wait?

 

[jmc]

The characters aren't going anywhere. I can wait.

I really can't be thankful for not seeing a movie with a storyline taken straight out of the comics, with Oscar winning people in the crew and WETA doing the costumes.

Ditto.

Armie Hammer will be appearing on the new season of Reaper. Which starts up again in March.

As for JLA. I was thrilled when I heard Warner was going to make it. Then I heard the cast and some of the story plots and then I was thrilled when they shelved the idea.

The Blackout (2007 ) directed by Rigoberto Castañeda with Armie Hammer,( starring Amber Tamblyn) stills and trailer

Always did, and still would, support him in the role. I know JLA is dead in its current form, and given the fan backlash he'll never get the role again, but I think he would have been excellent. Total dark horse.

 

[The Guard]

This is a world away from the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES clips we've seen of him. I love that, it shows that he likely does have the range needed to play Bruce and Batman. He has a lot of intensity. His voice sounds dark enough to pull off the character. I can see a young Bruce Wayne, and definitely Batman, if he can pull off the performance. Oh well.

 

[Webhead2006]

well i would have been happy if the film did happen just with a better suited cast in place. Cause come on tressa palmer for talia, that jay B for max lord and dj cotrona for supes those were pretty much the wrost picks they could have done with the cast. Then gale with no/little acting experience and probably couldnt act to hold the character up good enough. Though i always said she had the right looks.

 

[The Major]

Then gale with no/little casting experience and probably could act to hold the character up good enough.

Probably isn't good enough for a complex, iconic role which may get overshadowed by Batman and Superman with a solo franchise that is this side of dead at WB.

There are no second chances with WW or the lesser characters. The franchise needs the best to survive and Gale doesn't come close to qualifying IMO.

They need to make the more vulnerable franchises, which is very character which isn't Batman or Superman, and they can do that with more then a big budget movie which places all the lesser franchise at risk. They need long term, multi-media planning to set the solo movies up then move on to JLA.

Though i always said she had the right looks.

Agreed.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i know with ww/flash they should atless got a bit more better suited actors in place. Though brody i was willing to give the benefit of the doubt he could probably done well in the flash role, common from everything i heard about him has had some good roles so far and building his acting experience up. Just the rest really wouldnt have probably made the film good and would u rather have a ****** cast and possibly a ****** movie or a film taken more serious and treated like an epic grand film with a bigger better cast of canidates.

Agreed.

Your bashing of Megan Gale is on the verge of something pathological, Majah.

Whenever the lesser opportunity shows up, you jump and start badmouthing her. Maybe it's a personal pleasure, but it's a tad weird, nonetheless.

If for nothing more, you just do not know if she'd be a bad actress.

You have your prospects, your data, etc. but the passion you put in making sure no mention to her will pass without you saying something evil about is indeed peculiar.

 

[protocida]

Great, there are more JL supporters than i tought! t:

 

[BATZARRO WWD]

Of course. I knew JLM had a lot of potential. And it's so rare that WB gets something out on films that isn't exclusively Batman and/or Superman(and I'm not talking about Constantin, either. I mean MAINLINE DC)and I knew it's success could make them make more. The horizon looks so empty, now. But tell you what, word has it that WB isn't making the 3 other films it planned based on the Potter books because it couldn't piggyback on the books. If it is true, and that's a big if, then the vacuum that could create.

In the meantime, we can sit in a wasteland overjoyed the car ain't working. I heard that Oasis was stinky anyway.

 

[The Major]

Your bashing of Megan Gale is on the verge of something pathological, Majah.

I'm "bashing" since Gale chose to accept the role when she had the opportunity to. She opened herself up willingly for public scrutiny with that choice. That's the downside of being a celebrity, unfortunately.

Whenever the lesser opportunity shows up, you jump and start badmouthing her.

I'm sure she can take it. Gale is a big girl, after all.

Maybe it's a personal pleasure, but it's a tad weird, nonetheless.

Its just opinion. If she does something to change my mind I'll stop doing it. Until then she'll remain a target of legitimate criticism.

If for nothing more, you just do not know if she'd be a bad actress.

I know enough to understand the franchise would suffer with her in the role.

Being a mediocre or merely good actress is not only not enough for a role as important as WW but things rival actresses can bring without her negatives. Fact is she hasn't come close to showing she can even accomplish that low standard in acting. In our discussions and Gale's resume you hasn't proven she can do that with a random love interest, never mind WW. It's just something we'll always disagree on.

You have your prospects, your data, etc. but the passion you put in making sure no mention to her will pass without you saying something evil about is indeed peculiar.

When did I say something evil? I hold no person grudge against Gale. All I'm doing is stating my opinion based on the facts about a franchise I'm passionate about.

Yeah, and by that definition, you are making a strong case to be this downside, unfortunately.

Legitimate criticism is one thing, but follow every mention to a name in order to bash it is weird, and quite personal.

My criticism of Gale will be nothing compared to the firestorm that would erupt if Gale fails in the WW role.

It isn't any weirder then Gale's supporters defending her whenever someone criticizes her. The only difference between us are the sides we're on.

and quite personal.

How is it personal?

1) Unlikely.

2) Defending a person from attacks seems to me far better than attacking. And attacks from conjectures.

3) Directed to a person, with insistence, based on conjectures and set to discredit her.
