Telling them that im bored to tears with the rumored casting of Rick Flagg (mr new Robocop himself) in the main thread. They got their panties in a twist. I said i was no longer interested in the movie beyond being curious about Leto's performance/look and that the spinoffs don't interest me as much as the Justice league team-ups since it's becoming quite clear to me that they're all desperate moves to catch up to Marvel.
Do we really need a Flash or Cyborg movie?? Wonder Woman and Batman i get but come on! Desperation just like Sony or Fox. I'm usually pretty damn biased with DC and i defend them because they're my favs. But i gotta stop convincing myself that what they're doing really works for the story.
Im sure ill bust a nut once i see trailers for Batman versus Superman, but ill still be skeptical about the final product. Terrio is not a messiah and Argo was good but not Best Picture worthy in my opinion. Snyder will be Snyder. Justice League has potential to be better than Avengers or utter non-sense.
Some days i wish our beloved Batman just had his own rebooted universe with Affleck and Irons.
Sorry to hear you're no longer interested, I do hope that you end up liking it at least.
Or that there'll be something that interests you.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on Flash, but yeah I absolutely agree with Cyborg. I don't mind Cyborg (though not a character I care about either), but there are better picks for leading characters and founding JL members. If he's there because they wanted a black member, why not John Stewart? And if they wanted Hal still, why not have them both on JL and make Green Lantern something of a buddy cop movie with John as the more experienced member and Hal as the rookie? Though I suppose both on the team would be a bit redundant power wise. I don't know, but I'm sure if that were the reason they could find someone better than Cyborg.
Overall the universe I think has potential but I don't trust the current team to use that potential and characters/teams I'd like to see lead films likely will not, which puts a damper on that for me. Those being, just off the top of my head here, Batwoman, Birds of Prey, maybe a Black Canary/Zatanna teamup ala Bloodspell, Gotham City Sirens, Power Girl would all be great to see but I doubt we'll be seeing any of them (as leads, to be clear).
From what we know now of the universe, I'm only particularly interested in Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, the inevitable Batman solo and kinda BvS though that one's significantly more apprehensive than the others. I can see the potential for Flash and Green Lantern to be good but at this time I'm not interested. And Cyborg I don't remotely care about. Justice League I'm not too interested in either, as I'm concerned about them not focusing enough on the characters and instead it being too action driven. But hopefully I'm wrong and it's good. Wonder Woman I think has a pretty solid director, is a character I love and is her first full live action feature film. Hopefully Gadot's actually good, otherwise that's going to be really disappointing. Suicide Squad I think also has a good director at the helm and I really like Harley so I'm excited to see her on screen for the first time and I like who they case. However, losing Hardy for Kinnaman, if true, is disappointing as Hardy is a much better actor of the two of them. Also not a fan of Will Smith or Jai Courney. That being said, Ayer managed to get me not to hate Shia Lebouf in Fury so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt there for now. And then the Batman solo is pretty obvious why. BvS I like most of what I'm hearing but Snyder just worries me.
