Snap.
Anyways. I caved and watched the teaser for the IM3 teaser. Just the brief motion shown of the new suit, it looks like an anatomy drawing in motion kind of.
Don't do this, Slay.
They aren't ready for the truth.

I don't trust Loeb, but I will hope very hard.
And yet Batman will be in the JLA movie, while BP continues riding the pine.
Why would BP lower himself to that level?

Shit.
Does this mean we could have seen him in Ironman 3, Thor2, or probably Captain America 2?
Surely he will be back for the Avengers 2 in 2015??
The JLA is going to tank hard.
Cap 2 would have made sense, considering Cap is running a SHIELD team in the movie. I think he'll be back in A2.
Most likely, but it looks like it's going to be released. That puts it ahead of the Black Panther movie.
It could be good.
Maybe....
:'(
(I want to believe. I just want Wonder Woman and Aquaman on film, and this is my only chance. Cause lord knows they ain't getting their own movies.)
BP managed to protect an entire country from an alien invasion.
Bats can barely protect one city from a clown.
I'm not saying....but I'm saying...
We can play this dumb game of one upping with story plots or power set comparision games (like a previous thread) all day.
Suggesting that BP is anywhere near the level of Batman in terms of cultural significance is laughable. To me BP doesn't hold a candle to Batman in term of story and as a character.
I find Bat-God ridiculous but BP fans on gaf going on about his supposed greatness are also nauseating. It doesn't help I have never liked a BP comic run.
Yeah I am not a fan.
edit : I should have stated "in terms of relevance" in my initial post on this page.
And I hope some writer comes along and changes my feelings on Tchalla.
Man, why'd you have to go and be all serious about it? lol
No one was talking about cultural relevance. Some of us like the character more. It's all jokes. Lighten up.
cause I feel BP needs a boost. i hope someone comes along and writes a run that changes my mind.

Marvel's reason is Loeb - I dunno DC's.
Animation wise marvel never had the network or resources. of course now it is all on Loeb. Also it doesn't help that a large part of library is off limits for Direct to video animated adaptations.
You know what might lead to him getting that boost?
Him being in a movie. :3
DC makes good Batman movies (for the most part). Superman 1 was fun, and Man of Steel looks good thus far. No idea what the hell else is going on over there though.
DC has always come across, at least to me, like they have some sort of complex that makes it impossible for them to embrace what works about their heroes. All the years of being told their heroes aren't interesting enough got to them, and now they're too gun shy about putting them in movies. Of course, I'm probably thinking too hard about it.

Kinda forgot to post this here at first, but there's an interesting article I read over on Screenrant which mentioned an interview Mark Millar did with SFX
Also, since I didn't see a topic for this or mentioned here, it seems like they're doing a CG film with Iron Man and Hulk that's loosely based off their Avengers Bro-mance.

Iron Fist deserves a movie before BP
Heroes for Hire would be chill. Then we get IF and Luke Cage.
Do a Fantastic Four movie where they retcon the events in X-Men The Last Stand. Use time-travel, alt dimensions, whatever. Just retcon that steaming pile of doggydoodoo.
No I don't want any HFH or shared universe bullshit in any future solo endeavours for other characters. Like Feige said, this will lead to a point where everything becomes unmanageable.
IF can hold his own better than the rest of HFH. if they want spin off HFH after that in a convincing manner, then I am ok with it. Better yet have Luke get his own solo like IF and have only those two have some ties. But I prefer a good IF movie over any HFH attempt. IF can bring something diff. to the table for Marvel. Should be treated as a Martial arts adventure with all the dragon lore added to it.

The difference, I think, is that there's one man at DC/WB that is talented and knows what he's doing, Bruce Timm. WB just seems to want to throw a big name at the screen and see what sticks.
Then again, they did produce Watchmen.

It's from the robot chicken dc comics special. It has some pretty funny moments to it. It is mostly uninspired "lol aquaman is so lame" jokes though. Especially since Aquaman is really not lame.
I am not kidding. The general public just has a really shitty idea of the character. Seriously read his current book
Captain Britain? Black Knight? I am down.
Sounds like they upped the budget on Thor as well. Awesome.

The problem at DC is that they are snorting coke and too busy kissing each others ass to make a good movie.
I do not get it at all, he has good moments here and there but I do not understand the hard on that Gaf has for him.
I especially do not see it being a commercially viable option, as it would either come off to the average movie goer as a black Batman rip off or they would try and go into Wakanda and the history of the character and it would come off as cheesy.
It is something that GAF wants but I do not think that they have thought through.

Yep. He and Emma Stone were the only decent bits of that movie. Let Marvel cherrypick them, and let TASM spiral into oblivion.
Black using computers > raccoon with guns and alien norse gods on the "unrealistic" scale.

Someone doesn't know Hollywood.
As I've said before, it's not a question of building Wakanda, it's a question of being able to sell Wakanda to audiences.
Which is just audiences would have a hard time accepting a nation of advance black people. You will probably see Gorilla Grodd and Apecity before Wakanda on the silver screen. I am not mad or even disappointed.
They were talking about doing just that, but with short films. It never panned out.
