No, it's the cars fault as you can see.

I don't see Cheetah being a main villain any time soon. At best I could see her being manipulated by Circe.
He's gonna edit out Lex Luthor Jr and Lois Lane scenes
Unlike that other guy.
I'm sure they all survived with horrible burns and missing limbs and eyelids. No killing.
I was really excited about Amy Adams as Lois when she was first cast, but she's been letting me down ever since.
Cop: Commisioner, why are the GCPD openly working with a man who publically leaves a pile of charred corpses in his wake wherever he goes?
Commisioner Gordon: Fuck knows, m8.

I think the problems with Lois have come down to how she's been written, moreso than Amy's performance. I think she does the absolute best with what she's being given.

The original intent of the team - to be a black OPs team that we don't care about sending on impossible missions because no one will miss them - works much better with the tone they were trying to set with the intro and the self-reflective bar scene. The anti-alien squad mess just became more silly when Waller created the calamity that they ended up having to fight, and their first 'successful' mission was pulling her ass out of the fire.
Would align with the Bat's usual m.o
He won't kill you, but he'll maim/cripple the shit out of you.
They especially mentioned Amy Adams when talking about bringing the actors together for the re-shoots. So I'm guessing that her scenes will be changed or extended.
I agree with you that problems primarily come down to the writing, but I still feel her performance has been a bit lacking. If she appeared in better-written movies though, I'd probably feel more generous towards Adams, for sure.

Apparently they've shot enough to make 2 films out of Justice League, and now with the new reshoots and Whedon being brought on board, I bet they have enough footage to make 3 movies.
Besides, it's the "character moments" these movies are missing, not the action.
The ship maybe heavily flawed, but I think Whedon can steer it away from hitting the Iceberg.

And in particular, that it was the creation of the team that wound up 'justifying' the team's existence.
I mean, the post-credits sequence ultimately contextualises this whole point - in that it's to basically justify the Justice League as a much better alternative - but versus the original premise of the comic and general concept it's just weird in terms of placement in the wider DCEU.
I will admit I was quite impressed how they managed to take the premise of "supervillains turned into unwilling black ops team to handle suicide missions" and still somehow managed to have a world-destroying CGI villain with a blue sky beam as the climax.
Unlike that other guy.
And just like that I'm back on the 'let the DCEU burn' train.
As good as Wonder Woman's portrayal seems to be they're stuck with such crap interpretations of so many characters. It's a good thing Wonder Woman wasn't a large part of BvS because I'm sure they would have found a way for me to hate her.
I'd much rather that talented directors could handle the characters they love the way they'd like to, rather than be handed awful versions.
Reshoots are normal tho and planned a long time ago.

That article was proven to be inaccurate, I believe. The reshoots happening in the near future are the first reshoots for the film.
Give Harley a Kryptonite bat, Supes is going down. I mean she's a former shrink, she could get him to commit suicide with one word. Just one.

Mate stop spreading that shit
Those rumours are 100% false
Secondary photography hasn't even begun on Justice League yet.
That's what Whedon is coming on to do
There have been no justice league reshoots yet. Hell most people knew it was false cause ALL of the main cast were busy at the time

Wait, there are still people out there who believe BvS is the first time Batman has killed?
Come on, it's not all bad.
Remember when Jimmy Olsen got shot point-blank in the head 2 minutes after he was introduced?
What a fun gag.

Batfleck Batman is such a killling monster. Look how he is enjoying it.
To be fair, people have also complained about that sequence for years.

Just unlocked the movie costume in Injustice 2 =)
That'll keep me occupied for a few days while the rest of GAF watches the movie before me.
I don't like Batman killing but I've always been fine with it in the Burton films because look at him... That nice serial-killer is having so much fun! Awww...

It's funny that despite how his films are lampooned, at least Schumacher actually had a Batman averse to killing.
I don't mind seeing The Circle as the main villain, it will be pretty badass and possibly the best DCEU villains to date.

good to know
I wasn't sure, which is why I classified them as a rumor instead of stating it as fact
Well I'm a huge fan of MCU movies and still I only consider the Dark Knight trilogy masterpieces.

Dude, fucking stop. Multiple people on the last page told you that this was a fake rumor, and you're still posting it.
No reshoots have occured yet. The ones Joss Whedon was brought in for will be the first reshoots for Justice League.
Dude...
WB even said against Snyder that they were willling to delay JL for him to come back. But he said no to that.
Anyone who still considers The Dark Knight Rises as a masterpiece has a sickness in their soul.

I really hope if this movie is as good as the reviews seem to be saying that there aren't too many connections to the dumpster fire that is the rest of the DCEU.

This thread's been quite tame since I last checked in.
I sincerely hope this isn't a Doctor Strange situation, though. That got 90% with a 7.3 average rating and was really quite... eh.

It might not be a masterpiece but it's still a really good movie.

I'd still rank it above the vast majority of comic book flicks this decade, but yeah, it ain't a masterpiece.
The Dark Knight is, though.

There are videos on YouTube that back you up on this. Use them to build the cornerstone of a cinematic universe.

Schumacher has the best Batman-Bruce psychology in Forever too, as well as the best Gotham City.

Agreed. Forever feels the most true to the overall concept, rather than some overt variant.

Burtman is also a monster. Nolan's version remains the best by far.Batfleck Batman is such a killling monster. Look how he is enjoying it.
This tangent is probably one not worth going down but Batman's no kill rule is a huge part of the character. There have been exceptions but they're exactly that - exceptions. "b-but when he was created he shot people". Yeah, and guess what, he didn't have his origin story of his parents being murdered in those formative years either. Superman couldn't fly, and he didn't have heat vision. But all of these things are now core character traits, 80 years later.
Saying Batman kills is like saying Superman can't fly. It's intentionally disingenuous and wrong.
