I'm not very up to date on UK options, but I think Merchoid is based in the UK.
Can someone explain all the snark with the term Oscar winner in that thread? It's almost like Terrio didn't win an Oscar....
My favorite part are the people justifying their beliefs (mostly the negative ones).
Hey this one rumor said the movie is bad, I KNEW IT!!!!!
Hey this one rumor said the movie is too good, LIES, BURN THEM ALL!

I really wan this armor to be true or else this will be like "you know we could put the OTHER super hero here .... oh it is a WOMAN ?? ok, create an entire new toy to fit her place !"

Even if the armour isn't in the flick I doubt it would have anything to do with not wanting to put a WW figure in the set. WB haven't been shy at all about putting a whole lot of Wonder Woman merch out.

It's the way it's phrased, honestly. Puts waaaaay too much emphasis on the oscar winning part, makes it seem ridiculous.
Yeah, that's not a great look.
Tho they have done a great job with the Wondy merch.
Movie's goose is cooked.

I am convinced a healthy portion of the press has the reviews spitting battery acid already typed up and saved.
It's the old "show me everything" complaint that turns into a "why did you show me everything?" complaint.
The comments are great, people roasted her for that article.
Rightly so. That article is embarrassing.
Wow, every comment blasted her for that article, lol.
Maybe I'm not up to date on my Superman lore, but did comic book Jonathan ever tell Clark to use his powers while growing up to save people even though it meant risking outing himself? I can't remember any off the top of my head and I have Birthright, Secret Identity, For All Seasons, and a lot of 90's books (Death and Return stuff). Even in Smallville, Jonathan was against Clark using his powers and telling his friends. It's just that Man of Steel actually decided to have a real conversation about it for a scene and I could totally buy Jonathan having that response. Clark still saved the kids, it's not like he let them die, which means the Kents values are instilled in him at that point and the fact he wants to do good with them.
I think that scene would have gone over much better with everyone if Jonathan had said "I don't know" instead of "maybe". People focused so much on what he said instead of why he said it.
That's actually a really good point.

Jeff Nichols' new film, Midnight Special, has shades of the Pa Kent shielding Clark dynamic.
As an aside, I wonder if the Jeff Nichols directing Aquaman rumors were ever real. Guy is a superb director and I would've loved to see what that would even resemble.

Man, I didn't know how bad Donna Dickens was.

James Wan was a superb choice for aquaman, especially if we're getting some trench creature designs from him. Great eye for horror.
Only film I'm overly concerned about right now is Flash. First time director with only a handful of mixed films he wrote for under his belt.

It'll all come down to critical reception. There will always be a vocal minority of haters for a something of this magnitude, but movie GAF for one is mostly bandwagon.
Never a fan of digging through people's dirt, but also hate when people do crap like this then go on twitter and play the victim

Oh wise and powerfull DCGAF! I have a question. Do you know if there is going to be a novelization of BvS?
Future Foundation

I know there's an "Original Companion Novel" out tomorrow called Cross Fire. I think a novelization might come later.
The closest I came across were companion novels.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was one announced or released afterward. Man of Steel and Dark Knight Rises both got one. The Man of Steel one came out after the film was released though.

Thanks for the answers. The reason why I asked is because I do not watch movies when they're in theaters, but I'm getting tired of waiting 4-6 months before I can watch them on Blu-Ray. So I have decided to buy the novelization of any movie I really want to see. I started with TFA and now I want to get BvS.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.
Objectivity isn't ever truly attainable, and not even always preferable. The irony of your comment is that you guys love it in here, hidden away in a corner, where you can hear your own opinions echoed back to you. I get it, it's very reassuring, and I don't see much wrong with hanging out with like-minded people in order to drum up your excitement for a film. That's what I mean but objectivity not always been preferable. It's best to just enjoy what you love and try not to worry too much about what other people think.
I have no problem with people not liking this film or DC in general, I could go into those threads and discuss sutff. The problem is that those threads are filled with "lol trainwreck" drive-by posts that stiffle any kind of discussion. Seriously, tell me if you can have any sane discussion in all those rumours threads, it's impossible. If this is the only place to have some decent discussion, even if we are all biased towards DC, then so be it. There's really is no other place because those other threads are just people drive-by posting and never appearing in again the thread.

That thread got locked lol.
Fully expect some other article to pop up in the next few days. Like clockwork
I was watching that interview with Miller the other day (imagine not seeing it yet) where he was supposedly "high" and I thought they have got the right guy for the part. Just bummed that he isn't Wally.

Oh, I was over at SHH and saw the next rumor that will cause a shit storm when the right person/site finds it.

Many people are talked too were pretty nervoud at the first viewing of episode 7, so it did take a bit out of enjoyment from them. The second time they were a lot more relaxed and enjoyed the movie. I hope that I am not going to be nervous watching BvS the first time. Would really suck if I was nervous in the movie theatre.
Yep

Rumor from an unknown site states production on Justice League has been delayed 6 months and filming now starts this October instead of April. A delay that long would mean the movie release date would be pushed too.
So yeah, brace yourselves.

Zack's batcave is legit. So much detail.
Good stuff, that Bat Arsenal. Yeah Batcave looks amazing, all that is missing now from it is the Rex

As long as they're not scans, yeah. But on the OT side mods don't care about people posting leaked scans it seems.
Guek, it's posts like these that make me want to keep an eye on you. We're not in here so we can hide from the big bad meanies. If that were true we wouldn't even post in those threads. Most of us would likely have taken a ban hit if we truly cared that much. We'd be screaming. But we're not. Much like the MCU Community thread this is just a place where we discuss things about the topic at hand. The current topic at hand as it relates to the DCEU is that there is a shit ton of garbage posting about it.
I know we've been down this road before but allow me to demonstrate.
The HitFix video about WB being worried gets a thread. His "source" is Faraci who almost word for word said the same thing just a bit back. So that only counts as one.
That one instance is the only out of a few other "inside" sources that have said the opposite. We can also assume it's bullshit based on WB's actions. They just had an entire special dedicated to the DCEU. If they were so worried why would they do that? Wouldn't it be smarter to wait and see how BvS fairs before you start telling everybody what you're going to do? Another example, they listened to the complaints about Trailer 2. Not one spot since then has shown Doomsday or the Trinity team up. They even gave up a line from Gal Gadot. They have like 4 contests going to see the movie early. Not to mention the guys who went to that trailer event and get to see the movie a full week earlier. You don't do that if you're worried about the movie.
But where are the threads on the positive rumors? Hmm? Do those ever get posted? Nope. Not one. Only the negative and the ridiculous ones get posted. That's it. HeroicHollywood, Collider and Joblo have been talking about how happy WB is with the movie for about a year. Not one thread on it. Despite several articles/videos. HitFix says WB is concerned and might call it quits or do massive changes and that thread is up immediately.
So no, we don't hang out in here because we're afraid of the big bad meanies in OT. We hang out in here because it's the only place we can talk about these movies, good or bad, without a hundred people parroting some trash they heard because it fits what they want to believe. It's no different than those I see in the MCU Community thread who stick to that thread.

Interesting that Joe Chill, whomever killed the Waynes, was never apprehended in this universe. Little disappointed Kid Bruce falling in the well is his bat inspiration. Where's the bat flying through the window?
Alfred as the Wayne bodyguard makes the age gap reasonable. Although, you know, maybe he's not the best bodyguard considering...
