From what we've seen of WW it looks to have that accentuated blue visual signature that was prominent in Superman Returns and that Hansel and Gretel movie that Jeremy Renner was in. Hate that look.
Monster did look cold. Perhaps that's Patty's style. She promised Temischyra was looking surreal though.
Guys, I really hate the film grain. It bothered me a lot in Man of Steel. Makes the movie looks ugly and old.
More like classic and timeless. Film for life.

I liked how they used Superman having parents as the way to humanize him to Batman. Having him say Martha just was kind of odd, I think it would have worked better if he had said my Mom, but I liked what they did here, using parental love to get through Bruce's anger.

First time seeing this pic and i always thought that was the point. I always thought saying Martha was so that should he die, Clarke could find a woman named Martha Kent.

edit. Just googled:

I really loved the way Bruce’s motives play out with this surface clarity, but then the underlying subtext that comes to a head and breaks through in their battle, the fact he’s never looked at Superman as a real person or as a man before. Then suddenly Superman is vulnerable, he has a regular guy’s name and a woman who loves him crying over him, and a mom — his last words are basically “save my mother.” We see, very emotionally, how Batman realizes what he’s doing and that he’s the bad guy, a painful but very human revelatory moment.

Recent casting rumors for JL have Colin Farrell (previously rumored for Constantine), Michiel Huisman (Daario 2.0), and Charles Dance (Tywin, glass eye guy in Last Action Hero)

I fucking love Charles Dance, I've been a fan of his since the Last Action Hero (seriously, he's great in it) and I'd love to see him in the DCU.

Hell, I'd take him as Steppenwulf in a heart beat. It's worth noting that he recently did that SyFy mini series based on Childhood's End playing the
devil alien
so he's well versed in performing in full VFX enhanced prosthetics.

I also love the idea of Farrell playing Constantine in Dark Universe but cameoing, as an introduction, in the first Justice League film. Dark Universe is rumored/speculated to be the untitled DCU film releasing in that unannounced October slot.
 
October 2018 is Batman. Otherwise, Warner Bros is looking at 2020 for the Batman film. Ben has Justice League until October of this year, nothing at all next year, and Justice League 2 filming in 2018 to make the 2019 release.

I don't care about nothing until they confirm a proper Man of Steel sequel. It'll be quite a while until I forgive WB for cutting Superman out of a movie with his fucking name in the title.

Yep. I need a Man of Steel sequel.

That's like if they cut out Cap from the Civil War movie and put in a lot more Iron Man. That would piss me off.

Pretty much. I just want a Superman movie that's a huge hit with good reviews.
 
I'd love Affleck's solo Batman series but at the same time I wouldn't be against taking their time with it. Perhaps have Batman be a major player in Suicide Squad 2 should Suicide Squad be a huge hit. Between that and Justice League, there's plenty of Batman. And in those you continue sowing the seeds to harvest in the Batman films. Say, have Red Hood as part of the antagonist's crew in Suicide Squad 2. Can introduce Nightwing helping Batman. Set it up like these three groups are on opposition of each other. Suicide Squad vs Batman vs third faction. I suppose what'd separate it from a solo Batman film is the lack of his Bruce Wayne persona. It'd help with Affleck's schedule, too.

Less Batman? Are you fuckers drunk?

Way less Batman is needed. Not just for the sake of someone like Superman. He'll be fine but the rest of the DC roster needs some time in the spotlight and Batman is hogging it all. Most of DC's roster is just as compelling as the Bat but you'd never know it because those fucking idiots only focus on promoting him and his cast.

I think that unannounced November 2019 DC film is 'The Batman'.

Frankly I'd be stunned if WB released such a big film in October. Just look at the types of films that are typically released in October bearing in mind that Halloween is one of the quietest weekends for cinema attendance for the entire year.

A Dark Universe film would fit perfectly into the run up to Halloween.

By all means for ensemble movies balance that shit out but less Bats to the point of no solo flick? Noooo thank you.

The Killing Joke is awesome, just bought the hardcover. Holy shit am I late and is it brutal. Definitely a classic! Wait for SS even harder now.


Count me in as another one who wants a MoS II. I love Superman.
 
People need time to be hungry for a proper new Batman film. Keep the people happy in ensemble films.

Basically,

We hongry now. I wonder what a 2019 release would be like for the bat box office. Would the wait and constant batman teasing ultimately kind of hurt it or would the hype be that real.

I feel like Nolan has made it an instant 800+ million brand now tho. It wouldn't be crazy to expect afflecks movie to hit a billion.

If Leto kills it as Joker and Affleck gets him in there, with changes in business since the Nolan days, I could see his Batman being the highest grossing. Maybe Iron Man 3 numbers.

2019 is fine. 2018, I don't know. Maybe in my mind Justice League at the end of 2017 and releasing a Batman film soon after is too close; overlap of marketing and such.

Kind of ripe for a movie to hit with no competition.

But wasn't the rumor that was the flag for the Tomb Raider movie?

Why? It's a year out. Perfect time to drop a teaser for the film and start the marketing machine for the Batman solo film.

People need to look at the schedules and when stuff would need to filmed. Either Ben gets behind the camera next year or not until 2019 for a 2020 release. WB isn't waiting folks.

They will for Affleck. Which means we'll probably have to wait until 2019 for that solo film.

I just need to find a way to cryogenically freeze myself for three years.

Not a chance in hell. The Bman movie is coming the soonest possible, there is an almost final script already, it's coming soon.

How could it work in 2019 as the schedule stands right now?

Justice League 2 is releasing June 14, 2019. It will likely film 6-8 months in 2018 to make that date like every other blockbuster. Ben can't do both at the same time. 2019 doesn't work logistically as the schedule stands right now for a solo Batman film.

It's a year out if Batman is November 2018. Currently WB is sticking Fantastic Beasts in November, every other year. There's the October slot but Batman solo being a main event isn't the best fit. Releasing earlier in the year makes it a couple months from JL. We'll see what happens.

There's a change Justice League 2 will be shifted. Responding to questions at the set visit, Snyder's response to JL2's date was along the lines of "that I know of."

The dates added by Warner Bros as "Untitled DC film" was October 5, 2018 and November 1, 2019 when they shifted dates around back in April. The Batman will be October 2018 and Suicide Squad 2 will be November 2019. Warner Bros is not waiting another 3 years for a solo Batman film. They need hits and they need them bad. Two years is already too much of a wait for them.

I don't think Snyder is in the best position to talk about the future of the DCEU at this moment. However, I could see Justice League 2 shifting.
 
I'm definitely hoping for a Man of Steel sequel. I need more Superman! I also think Man of Steel is a better movie than Batman v Superman...though, I haven't seen the extended cut yet. I did watch a lot of clips of the new scenes, and they definitely add a lot more to the movie. I was thinking about getting that Vudu digital + disc option, but then I thought I'd rather just wait until the Blu-ray to watch it at a better quality.

Anyway, I picked up the Harley action figure earlier today. She's dope. Having a lot of fun with her! I'm definitely picking up the whole squad.
