Wow, things are really looking up

[NealKenneth]

Wonder Woman slamdunk.

Whedon on extensive reshoots.

Reeves with plans for Batman trilogy, looking to start fresh with new actor.

Elfman scoring instead of Zimmer.

DCEU starting to look good.

 

[JannTosh]

what reshoots?


also, I would like Snyder to direct Justice League 2 with a good script. I like his style

 

[Rorschach2012]

I want Whedon for Justice League 2


It is good that things are being shuffled around. I like Whedon having a bigger role going forward.

I don't care what anyone says, Age of Ultron is great and Avengers is already a classic

 

[Boom]

Nah, WB needs to poach Rian Johnson for JL2.

Things are looking down. I'd hate for these movies to be Marvel-ized. DC should have its own identity and MO.
Ben Affleck's a keeper!

 

[Rowsdower!]

I agree that things are looking up.

I'm sorry about Snyder's personal tragedy and I hope the man is handling things as best he can. That said, if Whedon reshoots ALL of JL, that will probably be a good thing. The first trailer reeked of the stench of BvS and the farther we can get away from that drab, fake-looking, hamfisted nonsense the better.

And as for Affleck... good riddance. I don't know if he was phoning it in for Batman or if that's what he acts like when he's genuinely trying but either way, I can't wait to see a new actor step into the role... one that can actually be the character instead of just play him.

Now if only we can get rid of Leto's Joker too. I like Leto as an actor and I actually think he might have made a good Joker if the character had been written better and the director knew was he was doing, but what's done is done. Time to move on. I think this Joker has a fanbase of three people.

 

[Dasher10]

I'm not a fan of replacing Affleck. Much like George Clooney, he's a good actor who got slapped with a terrible script and I don't blame him at all.

But otherwise the DCEU is actually looking good. It's really a matter of finding the right writers and directors to handle the projects.

I'm unsure about Chris McKay's Nightwing since so far all he's done is animation.

Joss Whedon's Batgirl looks nice since I like Joss. Firefly, Buffy and the Avengers films were all great and Titan AE is seriously underrated.

I like what James Wan did with Saw and Furious 7. Good choice for Aquaman.

Planet of the Apes and Cloverfield were great. Like Matt Reeves for Batman.

Annabelle: Creation was better than the previous film but Lights Out wasn't all that great so I'm unsure about David F. Sandberg. Not a huge Shazam fan anyway.

Didn't like Suicide Squad but loved Fury and Training Day so David Ayer directing Gotham City Sirens is fine with me.

Mel Gibson is doing Suicide Squad 2 and Braveheart, Hacksaw Ridge, Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto are all awesome.

Overall, it's a slate that I like and I'm interested in who's handling The Flash, Green Lantern, Man of Steel 2 and Cyborg but two of the directors haven't automatically won me over yet.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I am definitely a lot more optimistic about the DCEU going forward than I was this time last year.

 

[HBarnill]

I like Zimmer. His scores have been way more memorable than any of the MCU's scores. At least to me.

I usually like Zimmer. But man was his Amazing Spider-Man 2 score terrible. Maybe the worst of any modern CBM.

Don't think it's his best but I felt it improved on Horner's (RIP) score. That's just me. I liked what he did with Electro.

I didn't like the BVS score at all either.

Elfman is a much better choice. I prefer his Batman and Spider-Man scores to Zimmer's. Far more fitting.

Elfman's Spider-Man's score was always so forgettable to me. It's just generic and I felt he didn't try as hard with it. It's not bad but it could've been better, given it's Elfman we're talking about.

That's insane because i think it's clearly one of the most iconic superhero scores...

Up there with Elfman's Batman, Williams' Superman, and Zimmer's Batman.

I think most would agree.

It's all opinions but wasn't it a running gag on how Spidey doesn't have a "cool" film theme:

[Rorschach2012]

Nah.. But if you think TASM movies had a better score, then we just clearly have very different taste.

 

[NealKenneth]

Elfman's Spider-Man is the best scoring Marvel has had so far. Giacchino has truly great moments, but almost everything else has been totally forgettable.

 

[Mandon Knight]

I thought they were 'up' already, I'm 4/4 on the films and amongst all that was announced over this weekend, all I was crying out for, was some news on another standalone Superman film but I guess we'll hear more (I hope) after JL in November.

I honestly think Elfman's Spider-Man score is so musically complex that it gets overlooked sometimes. DaDuhDaDaahduh-Elfman Batman

Da-Da-Da-Da-Da-,duh-duh-duh-,Da-da-da-da-DADADA!-Superman-JW

But Elfman's Spider-Man theme is like a mosiac of themes mashed together.

If you didn't give yourself time to listen to it, I think it can easily blend into the background.

Horner's theme (RIP) had that nobility that captures the warmth of Spider-Man, Guichinno had a sort of musical wittiness (the theme is basically half the phrase of the 1960s Spider-Man theme), Zimmer proved that he could make forgettable music (so there's that :P) -but none of the film composers have captured the sheer energy and intensity of Elfman's Spider-Man music.

The drums are intense loops that make one think of feet running, the arpeggios make one think of dizzying speed and heights, the complex chord structure providing both a sense of wonder and disorientation.

The chorals honestly add an otherworldly quality to the music, giving it a kind of etherial eerieness which adds to the overall atmosphere.

The theme seems to alternate between sounding creepy and triumphant, almost as if it's exploring the character's duality musically.

I could go on and on, but if you don't think this is at least a DECENT superhero theme, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Patchwork Man]

Jackman's for The Winter Soldier isn't.

 

[Drizzle]

That's nowhere near confirmed. It might as well just be a rumor.

I'm not that big a fan of Elfman's Spider-Man scores but I at least can remember some of it, unlike most of the Marvel film scores of the 00s.

 

[BatOnTheWing]

I found Elfman's score for Spider-Man, ultimately, underwhelming.
Other than the actual theme, nothing else stands out to me.
His work with Batman is just stunning, to say the very least.
I'm happy to have him back scoring for Batman.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Agreed. The main theme felt like something you'd hear at the beginning of a local news program in 1987.
