Molly Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I don't care if the actor is a Brit, but the character best be. Or Kanoe, either or. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I think we have a shot at getting a pretty good adaptation for this, if Hannibal is any indication for content. The question I have is, are they going with the classic Vertigo Hellblazer, or the version that the DCNu propagated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hannibal is an anomaly, it can't really be used as an indicator. Besides, David Goyer is behind it, its aspirations aren't going to be very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Internet reaction when Marvel announces something: Fanboys get boners so big they trip over them, and when it sucks they still think it's good.

NightAngle04 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Sounds interesting, but is Grimm on NBC like that? I have no idea, never seen Grimm outside of previews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonC Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Internet reaction when DC announces something: Fanboys think it's going to suck regardless of what it is. Because it usually does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonC Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 It usually does for Marvel too. There we must disagree. Yes, Iron Man 2 was distictly sub-par and the SHIELD pilot had flaws, but the rest of their live action output has been excellent. By the by, I mean everything directly released by Marvel Studios, not anything Spiderman or X-Men related. That has been mostly crap. Apart from Spider Man 2, Amazing and X-Men. And probably X-Men: First Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 We have very different views on "excellent." We do, and that's fine. None of the Marvel movies are going to win an Oscar but aside from Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 they've all been of better than average quality.

Delete Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thor is excellent? What would you consider bad then? Thor is a terrible movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Iron Man is the only of these new Marvel universe movies that I would ever sit down to watch again. Raimi's first two Spider-Man movies are also a ton of fun, and I'd watch those anytime. But there are no Marvel movies I would classify as excellent.

Dread Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I endorse the last two comments. I've seen Captain America three times now and the original shine is kind of worn off. But it's still one of the best with Iron Man. As opposed to Marvel's Movie Where Every Hero Stands Around Arguing But Everyone Has the Same Personality and Vocal Cadence.

Stavros Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thor is excellent? What would you consider bad then? Thor is a terrible movie.

slothian Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm not entirely sure the 'Everything DC' thread is the place to discuss the relative merits of the Marvel Studios output, even if the discussion point did germinate here. It's just that it has no relevance to DC Films, or the Constantine TV show. (For the record, I really liked Thor, although it's been a while since I've watched it. I'd need more details to argue against it being terrible, but again, in the Marvel thread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Batman vs Superman has already started filming. The main shoot doesn't start until February, but they must already have the story done if they are shooting stuff already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) I tried to give Beware The Batman a fair shake, but it bored me so badly that I had to stop after the first 3 or 4 episodes. Every Batman series since BTAS has aimed for doing something "different" with the Batman story. The Batman was described as "the 1960s Batman mixed with Batman Beyond," Brave and the Bold was Silver Age craziness, and Beware the Batman was bizarre and different for the sake of being bizarre and different. I understand the creators' desire to avoid comparisons to BTAS, but I think there's a serious problem when you deliberately ignore the core Batman for 15 years. Can we have "regular" Batman again? There's literally an entire generation of kids now that have never had a "normal" Batman. It's either the so-realistic-it-hurts Nolan films or the so-bizarre-it's-perplexing animated shows. Oh, and Robin. Robin has only been featured in Teen Titans (where he was part of a five-person team) and the last two seasons of The Batman (which didn't get a ton of viewers). There's a generation of kids who haven't even been properly introduced to Robin. EDIT: Robin was also in Young Justice, but that's another example where Robin was one guy in a huge cast of characters, in a show with little overall exposure anyway.

Molly Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 If the Silver Age, Brave and the Bold style Batman doesn't count as the "regular" Batman, I don't want to live on this planet anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 In modern times, it's a highly specific style. It's not that it's invalid, but it's the polar opposite of the Nolan films, and there's not much in the middle (aside from the DCU animated movies, which aren't kid-safe anyway). And Brave and the Bold also barely had Robin in there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
