The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread* - Part 61

It sucks because it makes Zaslav look justified in shelving Coyote vs Acme. Smh

I think Looney Tunes is like Tom and Jerry or Scooby-Doo now, they have been around a long time so we just think they should be more popular than they actually are.

Sure but when nobody knows there's a Looney Tunes movie out, of course, the box office will be small.

They didn't even put any effort into putting that trailer in movie theaters or on tv.

Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing the trailer in front of Sonic 3 for all the difference that made.

The Russo Brothers, Marvel’s Money-Minting Directors, Reveal Their Secret Weapons

On the heels of ‘The Electric State,’ the two reveal that time they gave the studio back its fee, the “bad luck” actor they fought to cast and why the era of big-budget streaming features won’t be a “healthy part of the business” going forward.

Not sure I buy that!

Apparently the pivot to Doom and RDJ's casting happened a year before the Russo's signed on to direct, so its certainly possible that Marvel told their artists to do concepts for scenes involving Doctor Doom or hypothetical scenes from Avengers 5 or Secret Wars.

I didn't even know this movie was happening lol

If I were the conspiratorial type I'd say they sent this out to die with zero marketing so they can further justify not releasing Coyote vs. Acme or doing anything else with the Loony Tunes characters.

 

[Snow Queen]

It's my understanding that WB sold the distribution rights to a small company that probably doesn't have that much to sink into promoting it.

 

[Sithborg]

I suspect they were getting a little too much backlash of them just deleting movies.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I had no idea a theatrical Looney Tunes movie was out. I just checked my nearest theater and yep it’s playing.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Back to the subject of Sam Wilson Captain America... he just doesn't have main character energy. I can't see him being a credible leader of the Avengers in Doomsday/Secret Wars if guys like Thor and Hawkeye are going to be on the team. I can see them going "yeah, you are a nice guy, but you are still Falcon to us".

No.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, those are Gotham level costumes. Perfectly fine if you are doing a cheap ass series, but for a movie? No.

I'm just going to say that there is more than enough appetite for what Reeves' is cooking.

 

[MbJ]

No.

Embrace the grease paint agenda.

 

[Kane52630]

Whoever they got for the Joker is pretty much what I imagine the Tim Curry Joker would look like.

 

[flickchick85]

For the record, while Reeves' version is my favorite cinematic take to date, I am also all for a more colorful, fantastical take on Gotham/Batman. Grant Morrison's run is my favorite run of Batman comics, after all. But that ultra-generic commercial ain't it. Not by a long shot.

It was Josh Harp who played The Joker, according to this:

Looks like an ad for a new Batman rollercoaster at Six Flags and I don't mean that as a positive.

I think The Riddler is working it.

For all the Batfans.
