Missy Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Having just rewatched it, Green Lantern isn't that bad. Yeah, it's trying way too hard to establish a universe before it does the characters, but the movie is kinda fun if you give it a chance.

KnightWing Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 When "kinda fun" is the best that can be said about it, and "pretty lame" is the average takeaway, that's still not good, especially when you need to sell the entire Lantern Corps as a franchise. But that being said, I think the tone and style of the Man of Steel DCU will actually fit the Corps really well. As much as Green Lantern can be fun, when the Corps is involved I actually tend to like the grittier and more epic stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Much like Guardians, I feel GLC needs to stay away from Earth, outside of maybe Jon (or Guy) being drafted. Otherwise, keep it in space for the first movie, then move it to Earth later in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Sure, yeah. A GLC space war against Nekron or the Sinestro Corps or something might be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oa effects are beautiful and I love the way that the GLs look. Unfortunately, the stuff on Earth was sub par and Hector Hammond....well....

JackFetch Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 So I watched the documentary on the making of the Nic Cage Superman movie. They had some good ideas. I liked his "teddy bear" assistant/robot thing. The light up suit wasn't really as big a deal as everyone thinks. It was only going to be on screen for two minutes while he was inside the resurrection chamber. They actually had around 4 or 5 suits in the movie. Overall I'm glad it never was made, but it wouldn't have been as bad as I originally thought. I still say Cage was absolutely the worst person for the role and his hair looks ridiculous in the test footage. The producer went out of his way to slam Kevin Smith as a terrible writer, but it's obvious that he just wasn't a "Hollywood" writer and wrote it from a comic book guy perspective. The guy really comes off as a douche since now super hero films are made by people in the comic industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the trying way to hard to establish the universe that makes it so bad. Honestly the first Green Lantern movie should have been the easiest thing in the world to make. It is basically a CBS procedural like NCIS or CSI. Rookie cop, Hal Jordan, gruff veteran cop, Sinestro, investigate a murder, Abin Sur. So simple.

Donomark Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 The biggest sin of the GL movie for me is that the simple premise of the ring should be the selling factor of the entire story, character and franchise. You have a ring that can virtually do ANYTHING. You don't need to kowtow to the Geoff Johns stories, you don't need to impregnate the DC Cinematic Universe, just work with that simple idea. Moments where Hal constructs a roller-coaster and a pool are the fleeting moments of true potential the movie's story squandered. I never thought it was bad but it had to have been so much better.

Dan Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 In today's "I can't believe it took this long for someone to think of this" news, DC is releasing a series of animated Blu Rays with the graphic novels that inspired them. Pics in spoiler tags for size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I liked the Year One movie, I didn't know it was based on something they'd done in the comics. Did they ever do any kind of followup in the comics? Like Year Two or anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 They've done Year Two and Year Three. The former was part of the inspiration for Mask of the Phantasm. The latter involved Bruce adopting Dick Grayson. I wonder if the Batman Gotham Knight discs are gonna include the Batman Black and White motion comics, based on the actual book it's packaged with. They're only five or so minutes each. Glad to see Perez's Wonder Woman in hardcover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sweet, now I can re-read the shitty, convoluted Superman arc (in 1080p!) that led to to shitty, convoluted animated movie? Sign me the fuck up! In all seriousness, I'd buy the Wonder Woman edition. I love that movie to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 They've done Year Two and Year Three. The former was part of the inspiration for Mask of the Phantasm. The latter involved Bruce adopting Dick Grayson. Year Two was quickly put out of continuity by Denny O'Neil because of Batman's characterization, and Year Three led immediately into Lonely Place of Dying. Year Three was half a flashback tale as it took place in the then-present soon after Jason Todd died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only five or so minutes each. Only if the original releases had them on. I'm sure these are just the original presses of the DVDs instead of something new. So, the only new special feature is going to be a graphic novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 In the weirdest thing yet, NBC is planning a DC Comics Workplace Comedy that takes place at an insurance agency in the DC Universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Sounds a little like Marvel's Damage Control. Not that I'm complaining. I love the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I would watch the living shit out of a Damage Control series. I really hope this isn't just one "Boy, we sure have to pay on a lot of claims after Metamorpho fights Mr. Banjo" joke after another. This could either be really clever and funny, or incredibly lame.

dc20willsave Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I want an episode that takes place during a Red Sky event. That's all. Oh, and episode where they debate on if they have to pay out life insurance when Superman comes back from the dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
