Movie DC Extended Universe - News, updates and discussion

[glenferry23]

I'm all good with them slipping back and forth between reality, just hope the whole movie isn't in their heads.

That clip with people in Joker gear chasing after Arthur - wowza.

Looks like it's going to be batshit (no pun intended) insane with a pretty chaotic Gotham out of control from the first movie.

Much better than I thought this would be going by the trailer.

Certainly looks batshit crazy yes. How much of it is hallucinating vs real, remains to be seen. I’d imagine he will be continually descending over the course of the film. The sign of “Hotel Arkham” got me, that’s glorious.

Interesting casting choice ..

Interesting casting choice ..

Good actor and a fan of him, but don't see it at all.

Maybe, like Christian Bale, he'll shred for the role.

Not even the look that's an issue - majority of his characters not really know for being paternal/warm.

Look, must have shown something pretty good in the audition - and the casting to date has been pretty good, so I'll reserve judgement.

I wonder if we will see any hints of Batman in this movie. Imagine a tease at the end of the movie thats a reverse of this....

**** i hope not.

I personally didnt get the first Joker, just really did nothing for me but i also think its just not a joker movie. Its a psychological horror/drama with a DC name slapped on for branding. The worst scene in the movie was the Bruce Wayne one.

To roll an actual Batman into this universe would be really off to me.

 

[glenferry23]

The age differential from the first film also makes it challenging, unless there’s a significant time jump in this one which I’m not sure about. Always felt the Wayne’s scene in the first Joker was more so a nod/reminder that this iteration is still set in the DC world, rather than to set that up for future films.

Finally saw The Flash actually thought it was pretty good, biggest downside was the artistic direction the director went with the CGI and probably a couple of slapstick jokes that could have been cut (mostly the stupid broken tooth joke).

Thought the acting was pretty good all round especially Keaton, it's a shame Miller is such a mess IRL as he's did a good job.

Definitely not the dumpster fire people had been saying (those CGI sequences for the Time Travel / Multi-verse were pretty goofy though).

If the last few DCEU movies weren't delivered DoA due to the direction change at WB/DC the probably would have performed better.

Superman for an informercial? The suit looks awful. And the boots lmao

 

[pantskyle]

Don't hate the idea of the suit but it's far too loose in areas.

Looks like he's skipped leg day, and arms day, and chest day.

Henry Cavill may have destroyed peoples expectations of a live action Superman physique.

Apparently, the new Superman will be wearing trunks/shorts, not the Speedo-like thing we usually see.

Yeah and this new fellow had put on heaps of muscle.

 

[JackOutback]

I think the suit looks fine, they'll tighten it up for filming. Superman doesn't need to be a jacked bodybuilder. Think we need to dial back our expectations a bit, we don't need Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman physiques for every superhero, Christopher Reeve and Michael Keaton went OK.

The S seems dirty. Is it meant to be like that though?

 

[glenferry23]

I’ve liked from the outset that Gunn is purist of classical Superman. That suit design draws from Kingdom Come to the new 52. The way he’s sitting as well has elements from All Star Superman. Don’t mind it at all, I am keen to see more of the character reveals.

 

[phantom13]

Its an interesting look thats for sure.

Ive seen too many casting choices torn to shreds before the fact and then get turned around upon release to be doing that again (Heath, Keaton, Craig etc) and my limited experience with Corenswet he seems great (Brosnahan as Lane is inspired too, id see the film just for her TBH).

I dont like how much social media work Gunn is doing, it honestly feels like this has been coming for 5 years and in reality theyve just started production. I realise thats the modern world but i dont like it at all.

Not sure how I feel about the suit, but really like the photo and think Corenswet looks great.
Always thought Cavill was massively overrated as Superman.

 

[peternorth]

Maybe the suit automatically tightens when he’s ready to go. Can’t imagine loose helps when you’re flying (drag impeding on speed)

 

[justlookingaround]

I think it just looks loose cos it's a BTS shot.

 

[glenferry23]

The S seems dirty. Is it meant to be like that though?

Definitely seems so, battle weary quite likely. It seems intentional, as does the placing of what looks like Lecorp Towers in the background (and potentially The Planet in front of it).

Not exactly the thread for it however still probably the most applicable with DC related stuff for now. This continues to look great. Some real Sopranos vibes from this.

have never watched sopranos but even the still has its vibes as you said. Not withstanding penguin looks like Tony a but. and obvious underworld gangster theme.
