Wow, thanks. Its actually a manipulation of an Alex Ross Wonder Woman. I just added the dress, the brest plate, and made her wrist bands bigger. Glad you liked it. It is how I think she should look for the movie, more like armor or armor inspired.

While I don't entirely agree about the armored thing, as I said your concept is one I could totally live with. Well done!

On your Batman. I've had the same feeling about using the blue. Though I think you would need to use one even darker than what you have in your manips. My idea was to get as far away from the rubber/armor thing as possible (at least out on the outside. Your internal armor idea I can see) and model the costume after what artist Dave Mazzuchelli did in Year One complete with the white eye slits which is something I really want them to have the guts to do on film. I to advocated using a very dark blue for it. Another idea I had about it was to use black but to backlight it in blue whenever possible. Kind of like how in T2 for nearly any scene at night there is always that cold blue lighting going on.
 
I think it'sa safe bet that Porter tested for Flash

It's been confirmed now by AICN:


Here's some interesting talk regarding the recent JUSTICE LEAGUE casting session...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We know that a bunch of young actors recently read for roles in George Miller's upcoming epic JUSTICE LEAGUE. Those actors included Adam Brody, Joseph Cross (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS), Michael Angarano (SKY HIGH), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (GRINDHOUSE)and Teresa Palmer (WOLF CREEK).

The young ages of those being read did not go unnoticed by the geek community.

I've since spoken with a source buried deep in the production who shed some light on this casting session.

This source said that all those people above (and many more) were only reading for two characters: The Flash and Wonder Woman. The source assured me that the casting is skewing very young only for The Flash because he's the youngest member of the Justice League. And Wonder Woman is a goddess that doesn't age, so it's understandable she'd be cast young.




 
Nice! I like it!

I am still not feeling MEW as WW, though. She's hot, yea, but Wonder Woman?

I dunno...
 
Thanks for liking it.:yay:

Making a character ageless is a tricky thing. What happens a few years down the line when they start looking older? This would limit the number of films right?
 
What if there's not a sequel?

Besides, it'll be easier to make a woman look younger for longer if she's reasonably young to begin with.

I guess it would depend on how well they age in the first place. I never really noticed a change in Adrian Paul as Duncan McLeod until around the end of the series. Though really, I think cutting the ponytail did more to make him look older than even gaining a couple pounds.
 
or they could film the wonder woman films back to back. or film the first one and if its successful then film the next two at the same time

I really hate where this line of thinking leads. I get that they need to cast fairly young in order so that they can ensure they're "sequel proofed" so to speak, but, and I know it's been said a million times before, she's called Wonder Woman for a reason.

Simple. "Age" her up from the beginning, and then use less effects as you progress through the films. :yay:
 
In the unlikely event that this JL film produces solo flicks, who's to say they won't go down the Batman/Superman path with WW - different actress, different continuity, no connection whatsoever to JL, whoever gets the role might just as likely not be guaranteed to continue the role in an individual aspect, wouldn't surprise me in the least, in fact it would be better if they didn't have the same continuity.
 
real reason:

WB has to follow the tradition of completely botching female casting in superhero movies by making her the next hot thing on the market to appeal to the "general" audience.

as if normal people aren't fascinated by flat out good acting
 
i'm hoping that, with all this debate about WW being ageless, you guys are holding the same standard to whoever will play Superman, because honestly speaking, he's in the same boat as she is.

Yes and no. If you look at the comics Superman has more or less show that he can and will age but very slowly. Kingdom Come is a good example because while Diana looks basically the same Superman's features are weathered and has the grey/white temples in his hair.

Based on that I don't think it would be as big a deal in casting because being agressively youthful is not something that's built into the concept the way it is for Wonder Woman who is created by magic or Wally who archetypically is supposed to be a young guy. If it's Barry however then I kind of wonder why casting young is such a priority unless their "Barry" is a blending of the characters.
 
Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman are going to be the trickiest characters to cast.
 
Lynda Carter was 24 when she started doing Wonderwoman.
 
A quick manip of Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern. I'm in the process of making more.

Here are some Martian Manhunters (quick and somewhat sloppy), but I didn't have much time for them.

and her are some others:

What do you want his skull to be shaped like? and which costume do you want?

But, Winstead is a good actress, imo.

as much as i am a fan of Kingdom Come, it is a bad example to use as a basis for Kal-El's aging process. truthfully speaking, Kal-El's invulnerability comes from our yellow sun, so if you follow it logically, the only time Kal-El would age is when our sun starts turning red (or during those times that he is in an environment with no yellow sun). i know what post crisis writers did with trying to depower him and all the BS, but since they're sticking to the yellow sun invulnerability canon as well it kinda makes their stories contradictory (on a side note: Superman's powers and abilities has been revamped so often since post crisis its as if nothing changed :p)

oh and fyi, i remember reading an interview about Alex Ross on why he made Superman greying, and his reason was more figurative that literal, he wanted to portray that Superman has "lived life" and wizened from the last time he was active.

guess you dont know much about WW huh? ;)

WW's aging process has been even less consistent than Superman. there has been numerous discussions on her mortality/ immortality, but for all her history one things for sure: she does age. she can get hurt and she can get killed. she's essentially human but with special gifts from the gods (invulnerability, flight, strength, wisdom et al), which makes her almost equal to Superman. contrary to what you read from random articles on the internet, she is not an ageless goddes that never changes (she's not even a goddess anymore!).

as to how fast WW ages its still up for debate. during Pre-Crisis the canon was that whenever she's not on Paradise Island she begins to age. in Post-Crisis it was never made clear just how fast she ages when she's in Man's World, however there are several stories that mentions that she doesnt stay ageless.

hope that clears things up for y'all ;)
 
I wonder how the design for Martian Manhunter will be. That's what I'm most interested in.

And a bit off topic: Anyone here who have that famous Gif with all that batnipple/leather but thing from Batman & Robin (or was it Batman Forever?)

Again, sorry for OT but I'm going crazy trying to find that gif, which shows the absurdity of the batsuit/Robinsuit :D
