YES! Really didn't care much for BvS, but I am super pumped for this movie.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that one.

Zantera · « **Reply #493 on:** April 11, 2016, 11:52:03 AM »

It looks alright but I can't say I have any major hype over it. Will be cool seeing Batman in it, but overall it's definitely the superhero movie of 2016 I had the least hype for.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #494 on:** April 11, 2016, 01:47:31 PM »

Superhero?

Well, they try to do good...

Margot looks like she's gonna steal this one. Of the six super-hero movies this year, jingle.son has this as #2 on his list (Deadpool was #1). I'm starting to get more excited about it with each trailer, and it wouldn't surprise me to rank it by the end of the year as one of the top 3.

Totally. If done well, Harley could be an awesome and really entertaining character, and she seems really smooth in the role. They've also made her a less annoying character than the Arkham games version!

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #497 on:** April 12, 2016, 12:03:11 PM »

I don't think one of the main characters/actors can really "steal" a movie. She's expected to be great and she most likely will be.

Jai Courtney.... now that's someone who could steal this movie.

At least it doesn't look as miserable.

If Margot Robbie ever looked at me this way, my XP points would max out.

TioJorge · « **Reply #501 on:** April 15, 2016, 02:59:00 PM »

I'm at least somewhat excited and interested to see what comes of the movie and how it pans out. But Harley does look like the star. That image right there is just pure Harley Quinn incarnate.

It doesn't hurt that Robbie is just a super sexy lady woman as is. She rocks the edgy punk look pretty well though.

Not gonna act like I'm super excited for anything else though, gotta be blunt...especially hearing about the reshoots and making it lighter/funnier, that really took my excitement down a few notches. But with Harley and The Joker (which I'm really just wanting to see if it falls flat or turns out to be great), it'll at least be interesting to watch hopefully.

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #502 on:** April 16, 2016, 04:13:28 AM »

Those comments about the reshoots being to make it funnier or lighter have already been rebuked. It´s just some additional shooting. I for one AM excited.

Finally made it to the theater to see BvS last night. My thoughts echo a lot of what's already been posted... Batfleck and Alfred are great, there's too much trying to happen in the way of story (and it never all really comes together), and the file intros of the other Justice League members is pretty lame. I didn't dislike Jessie Eisenberg as much as I thought I was going to based on the trailers, and I agree that it's more a problem of how the Lex was written than it is with his performance.

Super excited for Suicide Squad, and I also read an interesting theory that Leto's Joker is actually a fallen Jason Todd. Don't think this will actually end up being the case, but it was an interesting thought. Evidently there are a couple bullet holes in the defaced armor in BvS that match up with what looks like bullet wounds on the Joker. It would also make sense in light of Affleck's line about how nobody stays good, and explain why Wayne Manor was in ruins (if Joker had formerly been Robin, he would know who Batman was and where he lived).

King Postwhore · « **Reply #505 on:** April 22, 2016, 07:53:54 AM »

My big beef was that when I saw Doomsday in the trailers, I knew what was going to happen. They also underused that character.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #506 on:** April 22, 2016, 08:36:21 AM »

Yeah they joked in the Half In The Bag review that the Doomsday fight lasted 10 minutes and that Doomsday was in the film for 11 minutes

BlackInk · « **Reply #507 on:** April 22, 2016, 09:08:37 AM »

Indeed. Quite a waste of my favorite Superman villain.

Yeah, that entire article seemed to be unfounded assumptions and conjecture to me. But then I haven't even seen the movie yet.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #512 on:** April 22, 2016, 02:33:00 PM »

It's also done with great movies as well. I tend to skip reading these kind of srories.

Um, no?

Did you read the article? It's based on official film material. Not sure what can be misinterpreted about his weapon having a huge edged blade on it.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #514 on:** April 22, 2016, 02:42:09 PM »

It's going from it had a sharp edges to Robin was a killer to Batman was a killer I'm talking about.

Even if that was true why do we people ned to have their superheroes black or white? I like flawed characters.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #515 on:** April 22, 2016, 02:44:34 PM »

Flawed characters are fine.

Turning superheroes into brooding moody murderers is quite another.

Not everything has to be dark and miserable. Superman is not a grim killer. He's supposed to stand for truth and Justice or whatever.

In Man Of Steel and Bat V Sup - you have no idea what his motives are or what he even stands for.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #516 on:** April 22, 2016, 02:54:24 PM »

Yet no matter what superhero movie comes out, someone complains it's not their "fill in the blank".

How they represented Superman was not the problem with the movie. It was bland and unfocused.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #517 on:** April 22, 2016, 03:12:14 PM »

And Superman was an emo who never rescued anyone.

Outcrier · « **Reply #518 on:** April 22, 2016, 03:13:06 PM »

I don't have a problem with dark and miserable. It just has to be done right.

Well the only reason to have such a weapon is to kill with it, unlike a blunt weapon such as a quarterstaff/club. It's not exactly a leap. Besides, in the film Batman is DEFINITELY a killer.

Yeah, but Robin as a killer isn't a flawed character. It's a flawed writer/director.

I'm sorry, but we have had almost a decade of Marvel superheros like Iron Man and Captain America killing the bad guys, and suddenly people are losing thier shit because Superman snapped Zod's neck and Batman blew up fake Firefly? C'mon now...

Anyway, awesome news. Green Lantern Corp will reportedly will feature THREE of the Green Lanterns: John Stewart, Hal Jordan, and Kyle Rayner. I personally like Guy Gardner more than Kyle, but this is exciting for sure. I like the idea of having a Corp movie instead of a solo flick. More opportunities to explore the Green Lantern lore

Because of who they are. Batman's philosophy is not to kill. Superman is a beacon of hope and justice.

Not in the 90's comic book versions of them.

TioJorge · « **Reply #524 on:** April 24, 2016, 10:33:24 PM »

I'm super stoked that they're going to try to give Green Lantern another go. Honestly, if they do the exact opposite of what they did with the first film, we'll have a fantastic movie on our hands.

Seriously though, it's such a fucking gorgeous comic and has some of my favorite lore and mythos out of any storyline in any comic, regardless of who the artist/writer/publisher is. Really fun world, insanely creative, imaginative powers (well...imagination IS the power soo) and some amazing characters. I hope they give it their all and make something special.
