Thor doesn't even have a real established alter ego in the movies or cartoons. He is just thor.

We need to see a return of 60 second time limit Thor, since that's the most nonsensical limitation since GLs weakness to yellow
You forgot Alan's weakness to wood.

They were just using it in the latest Thor issues as well as in Iron Man last year.

Most of DC's animated movies are far superior to a large majority of the Marvel movies though.
The Batman reboot should feature the greatest Robin.
i see the best robin, but he isnt prominent until the second clip.
More character flaws, you got to get right man.
I'm assuming you have never read any dc comics, because super is the only one that comes even remotely close to being perfect. This is a terrible misconception that dc needs to address in their movies.
That said I think they could build up batman's cast of characters, like the birds of prey. I think resurrection man would make a great movie or even better a tv series. I'm curious about the green arrow show too, but I'm more partial to old man ollie, with his dysfunctional family.
I think its funny that a lot of people forget dc's non mainline movies that have been made.
Also dc movies
Road to Perdition
A History of Violence
Constantine
V for Vendetta
Stardust
The Losers
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
RED
The Spirit
I really hope Man ofel is DCs "Ironman" as far as setting up a movie universe for all these characters to exist in. Start establishing the visual style and the rules with MoS then bring the other characters in.
Obviously you can just bring Batman back with no real buildup.

Indeed. Damian's great though, in fact I like all the Robins (well, Jason Todd post-resurrection... his stint as Robin was pretty lame.) Dick is great for Nightwing, Tim is the preeminent Robin, Red Hood is great for being Batman's foil as his kill-unrestrained counterpart, and Damian is a great character with an interesting personality, backstory, and interaction with other characters.

Haven't you heard? Tim Drake was never a Robin now.

Considering all the backlash I would imagine they'll never get around to saying that in the comics... or at least, I hope so.
It doesn't make sense, either, because Damian's whole plot in Batman & Robin now is to one-up all the previous Robins, and Tim's included in that.
By boring to them to death, right?

Nightwing is going to push his shit in.

He's probably still going to be Bat's sidekick just called himself Red Robin.

i'd be down for a Justice League movie that has to introduce all of the heroes within the confines of the film. screw a villain, they can just fight each other.

Maybe they just don't show him being Robin? Because as Hehateme posted in the YJ thread:
That can't be right
Retcons within a year of rebooting! That must be a speed record in comics.
Well on the flipside, many people see that as a problem with Marvel movies as fans including ones here on gaf clamor for Marvel/Disney to regain the rights to Spider-Man/X-Men/F4/Daredevil back from Sony and Fox.
Almost none of those are DC properties. DC published them, but the majority are creator owned. That's why several of those films were done at studios other than Warner Bros.

DC is just going to do Batman versus Superman with a JLA sprouting off from there. Marvel can't beat them to the heroes fighting heroes punch.
wait, does wally not exist in nuDC or ehatever the hell they call this period?
If so, fuuuuuck you Barry Allen. I rather they kept his ass dead.

DC did a reboot without laying out an actual ground map of what they'd do in the long run. They had a walking reset button in case it didn't catch on but besides that it seems they had very little determined in terms of what the new continuity would look like and what of the old would remain. They had a writer on Superman who had no clue what Morisson was doing with the character in Action Comics in a story that was set five years before his concurrent run.

For the next Batman films, I hope they establish Red Hood and some of the dark sides of Gotham.

Not 8 but close enough:
Green Lantern - Test Pilot Hal Jordan receives a magic ring from a dying alien
Wonder Woman - An amazon warrior from Paradise Island is sent as ambassador to man's world
Barry Allen - Forensics scientist gets dosed in electrically charged chemicals and becomes THE FLASH!
Martian Manhunter: The last martian, teleported to earth by scientific experiment, lives incognito amoung us!
Aquaman: The son of a human scientist and the queen of atlantis trying to discover his place in the world.
Booster Gold: A loser from the 25th. century travels back to our time to be the worlds greatest super hero.
Seriously what is so complicated? I would honestly say those origins are even less complicated than Iron Man, Thor, and Captain Americas. Also DC characters look visually more interesting than Marvels:
You miss the cap, iron man and thor free for all?

Don't worry Im sure after Trinity War or whatever they will reboot back to old continuity. They made the character Pandora purely as there failsafe.

I think at this point I'll just consider TT #0 non-canon. I mean, it's #0! It doesn't have anything to do with anything!
I think New 52 is great but I don't see what was necessarily wrong with the old universe.
Also, Superman needs red underoos. He looks so weird without them. With Batman I don't really care.
Honestly the lack of underoos is my favorite design choice of all the newer designs. It just feels so clean.
I've only read Batman comics and stuff like Watchmen but that isn't part of DC main universe. But this is just the perception that I get from DC. I think it's because a lot of their most famous characters were created in the 40s and had this idealistic theme to them.
I have a dream where I wake up and I'm like 22 again and didio and Geoff johns never got control of dc and things are good . Cuase they aren't now

Let's not exaggerate. Animal Man, Batman, Swamp Thing, and Superman (Action Comics) are literally at their peak right now in terms of quality

I've been wondering for a long time now how Red Hood was handled after the reboot. Seeing that bat on his chest makes me smile though. Glad he isn't being treated like a villain. At least I hope that's what it means. Maybe I'll check out a few issues on the comic app if that's the case.
As for films. Maybe DC should give up on the live action. Go with high quality animation. A extremely high quality animated (that would make those at Pixar jealous, unless you can get them to animate) Justice League film might be way to go. What they want to convey, especially with characters like Superman, works a LOT better there when it comes to action.
I think you have that mountian reversed .
DC has been in a downward spiral since 2004.

He's been an antihero rather than outright villain for a while... then became a big antagonist in B&R 2009... then went back to being an antihero around the time of the reboot.
I haven't gotten around to catching up on Red Hood and the Outlaws yet, but I would imagine the bat symbol is an ironic joke that Jason is playing on Bruce. That is, unless he has stopped killing his foes... which was a big part of his character that I hope hasn't changed.
Oh you're that crazy dude I was having a conversation about this with a few days ago.
Something about them cancelling your favorite no-name heroes.#bitter
Animal man and swamp thing definetely benifitted from the reboot.
I have only read the first 5 issues of Action Comics, so I can't really comment on that, but Snyder's Batman could have been the exact same story in the old DCU so far. Which books have actually benefited from the continuity reboot? DC could have relaunched their entire line without rebooting continuity.
Wally is MIA after a year. I am sure they could introduce a character with that name at some point in the future, but Barry Allen never married Iris West. Wally is not his nephew, and was never his sidekick in the new continuity. If they bring him into the new universe he will be radically different. Bart still exists, though I haven't read Teen Titans since issue 2.

My favorite iteration of Superman's costume was, is, and always will be the early 1940's Max Fleischer look:
My hopes and dreams for a Golden Age-era Superman movie will never happen
Which ones? Honestly.
The only one I think i would watch over any Marvel blockbuster right now is red hood. The rest are okay comic book adaptations .
