Agreed. The comedy style fits Barry and Bruce can be a sarcastic asshole so I'm fine with what's been said so far.

I liked the tone in BvS aswell but I think the shift to a lighter tone was always the intention. The ending of BvS seemed to suggest as such. I'm totally down with a lighter movie as long as not every scene is jammed with gags and Steppenwolf cracking jokes.

New logo is awesome. I didn't mind BvS but I'm glad the tone is changing a bit, it was pretty depressing. At the same time I hope they don't try to get to Disney with it. Hoping for a fun simple action movie. The Flash impressions seem really good. The story revolving around the motherboxes tying together humans, amazons and atlanteans sounds pretty cool. Can't wait for that first group shot.

There's already an indication of what they mean by a change in tone in the two scenes they showed. They're never going to go for the opposite end of the spectrum completely.

Shift to a lighter tone is probably for the best, so long as they don't get into QUIPTROCITY territory like Mahvel. I saw Age of Ultron for the first time the other day, and I say without exaggeration that the need to constantly joke straight-up killed the movie.
I wouldn't worry about JL being "Marvel-ized". One thing I came away from reading and watching everything was the interactions felt more human. Flash was youthful and full of energy, Cyborg was the same but in a slightly different way, Batman was still Batman (not smiling and joking) but a guy friends with freaks that are a total shift from the freaks he's used to dealing with so he feels more comfortable. They are like him in a way. Wonder Woman is still mythic but has a very human charm to her. Stoic but not completely outside of everything.
So it'll be interesting to see how Arthur engages with them and especially Superman (whenever he shows up, seems like 2nd half of the movie).
Speaking of Supes, between the synopsis and everything I've seen, his return will be a huge moment in the movie. All the pieces I've read said that everyone was open with just about everything but anything Superman was under lock and key. They very clearly want that to be a standout.

I hope there's a certain balance that keeps it from being obnoxious. Dofp prolly had the best balance of comedy and melodrama in recent times. I don't think any Marvel Studios movie got it right. Maybe cap 2 actually. 3 was even more enjoyable but some scenes were overkill with the jokes so it was a step back too.
If justice league is anything at all like the avengers then to hell with it imo. I hope this isn't a reactionary film and more just a natural tonal shift from BvS which should remain the darkest movie in this whole slate of films (with the exception of the next batman more or less).
Edit: Actually iron man 1 got it right too tbh.
I don't think Snyder is capable of making a film as toothless as the Avengers movies.
There might be lighter elements that add levity but there's no way a Zack Snyder movie won't feel like a Zack Snyder movie.
The tonal shift to being a bit lighter was announced before BvS ever came out, and narratively makes sense, so I don't see it as reactionary other than Zack maybe holding off from indulging himself here and there.

While I'm very excited by the look of things, I'm a bit worried about the change in tone. Not that it was not necessary, mind you, but because I'm afraid they will kid-ify the movie. I dunno, I need more info, I just wouldn't be happy if this is just a live action episode from the Series. Still, in Terrio I trust.

Its also sounding like they took evan peters' quicksilver, dyed his hair and made him the flash. Not that I'm complaining. That's kinda exactly what I wanted at the end of the day. Especially when they announced ezra miller for the part.
Love the sound of that scene where he talks to Gordon.

I'm hoping this is how it turns out. One of the reasons why I like Snyder's movies is because they feel ballsy (for lack of a better word). Even his owl movie which was meant for kids dove into some shocking material and was basically fearless.
Anyways, I read the write up on slashfilm. They dropped the tidbit that they were shooting scene #100 and that typically a movie like this has over 200 scenes. So they got half of the film they need. Maybe we'll get some footage at Comic Con?

Scene sounds lit. Xavier and Beast in quicksilver's basement redux. Also funnily enough shares some similarity to the recent stark and spiderman meet up
Curious how fast they make him. Basically I want him quicksilver level but with more visceral after effects of his movement. No cheap ass age of ultron effects please.

This sounds too similar to Civil War Spidey/Stark scene. But whatever.
I know, but if shooting started in April and they were shooting like 2 scenes a day, they would have about that much by now. Of course, it's just speculation on a process that I don't know very much about. But I am wondering if they have anything ready to show at Comic Con.

There's bound to be so much unintentional overlap in this stuff now.
Which is kind of funny since someone asked Zack about releasing the Steppenwolf scene from BvS AFTER the movie's release...

Even though they started near the beginning of April (so 70 calendar days), they're only on day 31 of 111 in terms of shooting.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't show these two scenes at Comic Con now.

He should have just done it.

For what it's worth - it is included in the Ultimate Cut
it's at the start of the epilogue, right before we see Luthor getting his head shaved in prison
Ahh, so that's where they're at. I guess I should keep my expectations down for anything JL at Comic Con.
Remember the concept art of Diana with the cloak?
Looks like she'll have it in Justice League based on the reports
I love this.
Yeah I was disappointed when it didn't show up. Guess it was JL concept art to begin with

I'll be honest, some of what I'm reading is leaving me...I'm tired and can't think of a word. It's like putting weight on my back foot.
Flash being Wally West named Barry Allen is dope. Plenty of what I'm reading about is exciting. Wish we'd hear more about Superman.

She has it in WW. The CW special footage shows it for a sec.

The title of the article is "Zack Snyder Goes Full Marvel". I love the Marvel films but "DC film made by Marvel Studios" is not something I want to say about Justice League when I leave the theater. The rest sounds great though.

There was a rumor the theatrical cut from BvS came from the inability to fit in the imax footage with the rest of the movie. Also $$$

Like the casting, like the logos.
I think there is a problem with vocabulary. All I ever see is "lighter in tone = jokes and quips and smiles and Marvel" and "serious = dark and broody and grim and depressing".
They watched two scenes featuring a character they said from the beginning was going to be the "fun" one and suddenly, "Zack has gone full Marvel".
These were all showcased in that DCEU CW special along with the GL logo.
I think the art department just has fun with the Suicide Squad, more char posters

Yeah likely just a bad title really. A good middle ground is what I hope for and probably what we'll be getting. "Full Marvel" is hyperbole.
