The whole picture looks a little washed out, tbh. Might just be the lights.

Yeah that's what I feared. Dude looks tired, wasn't he pretty buff at SDCC? Can't imagine what two JL movies will do to him. Whedon did two movies and locked himself up since. Snyder 4 movies when all is said and done and let's not forget he is producing a lot of these movies as well.

He knows BvS will fail, the pic explains it all.
Seems like the rest of the BvS variant covers were released

2 other things: there's a rather Atlantean looking helmet just to the right of Aqua Momoa, and just to the right of that there's what certainly could be armor for Mera.
Think we're getting some Throne of Atlantis shenanigans for JL1.

I like how Batmans AK has a Joker card on it. Could it be Jokers gold one from Suicide Squad?

Is WETA doing all the props and costume work for this?
They could just go full lord of the Rings for the Atlantis stuff

I'm hoping the rumor of an end credits montage is true. Be sick to see everybody in costumes and them all standing together. Though I doubt we're getting a group shot before comic con.
Saw this.
What's this? And where's the other page?

That would be terrible, the entire league sans Batman gets jobbed to make Aquaman the Hero.

Two wrongs don't make a right, etc., but it's certainly not any worse than what the people he's responding to are calling him.
I tried the momoa one but I get a white background... :/
means you need to manually resize it to fit under 100x120 WxH
Thanks!
Your entire outlook on Drew fascinates me. Since he posted that video just about every insider called foul on it and today it basically came to a head and he's throwing a tantrum. Objectively speaking, it's not a good look for him.
who are you?

Kind of is. There is being a jerk and being an unprofessional jerk dumping on their audience.

Doesn't have to be an exact adaptation, just play with the Atlantis invades the rest of the world game (with a well intentioned Orm, that's important) and go from there.

For what it's worth I've also heard mixed reaction on the film. So I totally buy Drew's initial piece. But I'll admit that he does get hotheaded and the way he's dealt with the blowback hasn't been great.
Everybody's friend of a friend has seen the film. I call bullshit one anyone but Verendus and the specialized press.

My friend works at WB, but I totally get it, I have a hard time believing anyone I've read that says they've seen it too.
But I still believe Drew had talked to multiple people who've seen it and that they had mixed reactions. Man of Steel was divisive, BvS is a sequel to that and will most likely be just as divisive.

I defended the guy on his initial reporting. But, yes. His attitude is poor. I suppose you can pin it on the fans, but that doesn't excuse it.

Although to be fair, who knows how much flak he's received on twitter following that report. I could see myself losing it in that situation too.
The problem for me was never the part about the mixed reception. I imagine this film will probably be better received than MoS since folks know what to expect, but still probably mixed.
Nor was it's Drew's report, but how everyone took that report and spun his speculation as him spreading rumors. And that's really what he is fighting. He's kind of caught in the middle of angsty fans and careless reporting.
That said, he has and continues to do himself no favors with the way he is handling this situation on Twitter and the sort.
Dude has to be stressed to hell and back. BvS is about to come out, working on pre-production on Justice League, etc. He needs to get some sleep. That or Moma is just much bigger that he makes Snyder look that small. Maybe a combination of both.
That's a great picture though. I'm hoping that's a Black Manta suit. If it is that's one step closer to get Aqualad/Kaldur into live action.
In his frantic need to defend himself he probably got Time, Inc and Time Warner confused.
holy fuck that is a great cover
I'm starting to get nervous about the fight seeing this cover gives me the Frank Miller vibes, I hope we don't see supes getting manhandled by batman

That's pretty much what I expect. A portion of people will dislike the movie because it's still not tonally what they want, regardless of it's quality.
I'm still pleased this is the route they're going. At first I was concerned that it would be grounded, but the suicide squad trailer and the second BvS trailer showed me they were going all in, but still not camp.
This is the dc comics I love, where the stakes are real and the heroes are put through situations that test their morals & values, and they come out strong and resolute. There is no absolute safety net, the villains have an actual purpose.

From the looks of it, both of 'em are gonna get their turn at wrecking the other.

Seeing the photo on a larger screen, if Aquaman indeed wears a full suit, it's neat how the engravings on it match his tattoos.
Another observation, the black armor and the female armor on the right appear to share designs.
Cyborg might be in there?

I think if he had structured his statement like this and provide more information on the impressions he's getting there wouldn't be this problem. There is no reason he couldn't have said stressed how people were feeling was separate from the quality of the film but due to their personal taste. I think he worded things the way he did because he knew this reaction would take place and it puts him in the spotlight and allows him to either play the victim or ride a high horse and call out others.

This. 9/10 cape covers have one guy beating the EVER LIVING SHIT out of the other, regardless of whether or not that actually happens.
Interestingly, it's usually the villain standing dominant over the hero. Food for thought.
Not for superman, but for the world. A super flood will need lots of guys helping. That and maybe Black Adam could make some appareance? Maybe Ares too? I mean, he's interested in great wars. There is a lot of ways they could extend the conflict to a larger threat.

Arthur's a little bit stronger, faster, tougher, etc. than most Atlanteans, but they're all well above human, and they've got tech way beyond what the surface world has. Mano a mano, nah, but they've got numbers vs. Supes.
Now, Manta himself isn't really much of a threat to Superman in and of himself, but he's a clever bastard.
Hmmm. Which leads me to my next question. I wonder if JL will be based on one city or several? Would be cool if its a global threat.
Yeah I get how Superman can't save everyone, but at the end, they'll all need to fight that one big bad as a team. Curious to see who it is. Definitely not Adam. The Rock is booked this year. I think Ares is already gonna be in WW.
I hope they bring in not just Manta, but Aquamans brother. Whats his name? Orm? Those two plus atlantean soldiers would be enough I guess. Should be awesome.

Orm is better when he's not an outright villain, I feel. That whole "evil stepbrother steals the throne" thing is so played out. So he really shouldn't be working with Manta, whose whole schtick is hating Aquaman more than he likes breathing air.
The Flash's director looks like he is 12
Also he is having some fun with Zack's image
