Missy Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Allegedly, DC's lord of the seas is getting the cinematic treatment, courtesy of producers Alan and Peter Riche and writer Ben Grant... sources said, "They want this Aquaman to be a goofy screwball comedy. Their thought was, 'since he's such a stupid character let's play that up.'" Sigh. I've been saying it all along: Warner Bros. wants to kill not only the comic book movie, but also their subsidiary DC Comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Marv Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hey since they wanted Jack Black to play the Green Lantern, maybe KG is up for the role of Aquaman! Warner Brothers needs to realize that there's a reason Marvel/Fox are kicking their collective ass in the box office. When The Punisher outdraws Catwoman (and it will, when all is said and done), there is a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I've said it before and I'll say it again what do you expect. $ come first, integrity of the brand comes second. Unfortunately what WB do not realise is that instead of buying DC whole, they should have made a deal for exclusivity for all non-print media from DC. That way, the creative would have stayed autonomous to the need to beat the other guys. Sigh, a chill goes through my spine thinking about what it would be like it Sony had bought Marvel, like they had planned at one point.

Missy Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Kyle Gass. Jack Black's Tenacious D band mate. For some reason I thought his name was something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Yes, because a story about a man whose hand is severed off is PERFECT for a screwball comedy. :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Oh, you know they'll leave that shit out 'cause that might actually make the film and character interesting.

James D.

You know, as soon as I typed that, I thought..."Ah, shit...Kingpin." Still, Aquaman is FAR from a comedic character. Hell, I'd say behind Batman, he's probably the least likely person in the JLA to fit into some kind of goofy comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Okay...two questions: 1.) What the hell happened to Kyle? 2.) What the hell happened to John Stewart? God, I'm digging myself deeper and deeper into the hole of stupidity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Not sure really, 'cause I hardly read GL. And, with Hal being back, I won't read it for sure, 'cause this is shit. Kyle was such an awesome character, whereas Hal is old and stuffy and too bogged down in continuity and other crap (RE: Spectre). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hal would be an awesome comedy character. "Oh no, I cannot stop this custard monster, for it is YELLOW!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
