thanks man unfortunately its all true. now onto the Man of Steel.I am so heavily rooting for this one but quite honestly it doesnt matter how well its received WB will be looking at the receipts.and if they dont match up to what they envision? I am terrified all DC properties will get the express ticket to "development hell" excpet Batman of course.he will undoubtedly get a reboot.....although worringly I have heard WB havent ruled out continuing in Nolans style/universe without him.....that would be a mistake. I think Man of Steel will do fine. Zack Snyder is one of my favorite directors, so I may be a little biased, but I think he'll make Superman much more appealing. Also, Nolan is producing, so I'm sure he'll have some say in the film. All things are looking up for the movie, it's just a matter of how well the film does at the box office. And I completely agree that continuing Nolan's Batman without him would be a HUGE mistake. I'm sure the third movie was tailor made to be the end, so I doubt WB could find a way to continue it. We'll most likely see a reboot in a few years. If I had it my way, it would be awhile, but with Hollywood's obsession with money, it'll be way earlier than that. I don't think I have ever seen someone say someone like Snyder is their favorite director :X |

It's different. |

If they're going to go the gritty route, I wonder if that means the Batman "relaunch" is off at this point? Bale used to say he wouldn't do Batman again after the Nolan films ended but recently in interviews he's said he would in the right situation.

I like it. It'll set it apart from The Avengers. I'm all for it, to be honest.

So much that I can honestly say that it's my favorite comic book related movie of all time. That being said, if I want to see the exact same thing, I'll just watch The Avengers. So DC/Warner Bros needs to do something to set this apart. And in all honesty, I've always looked at DC's comics etc to be a tad bit darker than Marvel. So the idea could really work if done correctly. That's (in my opinion) why so many of their efforts have tanked other than the Batman franchise. They try to be too kid friendly and it comes across as cartoony considering how dark some of the characters stories can be. |

The problem is that The Avengers was done so perfectly, all the films had the same kind of feel, they all merged together. If they're going to try to put Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern with Bales Batman, it just wont jel. They would have to do what Marvel did and start from scratch.

Yeah. The Reynolds Lantern would not mesh at all. This honestly leads me to believe that they won't bother really acknowledging that movie and it will not get the build up that The Avengers got. With the fact that they're penning script, it almost sounds like there won't be many (if any) movies leading up to Justice League. Perhaps just Superman.

Marvel's formula won't work for DC, especially if they want to go the gritty route. Make the team Batman, Superman, The Flash (possibly give him a solo movie), Green Arrow (no solo movie needed) and a heroine who wouldn't need a solo movie and it could work.

I can't possibly see this actually getting off the ground.
It's a kneejerk reaction to Avengers being so huge.

It's obviously been said already, but the reason the Avengers worked so well was because all the properties were under one roof. Marvel Studios could work the films the way they wanted and have them link together ingeniously in the end.
The Avengers movie was the plan all along, the separate hero movies were just two hour hype machines for it (very good ones too).

Would anyone really go see The Flash movie? no The only ones I can see working successfully are: - Superman - Batman - Wonder Woman - Green Lantern (The last one may have ruined that one for awhile, so they need to give us time to forget it like the first Hulk) |

Green Lantern could be in for a movie reboot at Warner Bros, according to a report.
Variety claims that studio executives are discussing whether to bring back Ryan Reynolds for a sequel, or take the property in a new direction.
The news follows reports that Warner is pushing forward with a Justice League movie, having hired Gangster Squad screenwriter Will Beall to pen a script for the project.
A Wonder Woman film could also be greenlit in the future, with Green Lantern screenwriter Michael Goldenberg attached.
Goldenberg's Green Lantern collaborators Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim reportedly turned in the screenplay for a sequel to the Reynolds-fronted film, but it is yet to be confirmed whether the story will ever see the light of day.
Warner is also said to be planning movies based on DC's Aquaman, The Flash and Suicide Squad.

I for one really liked GL, I thought it was a fun popcorn entertainment film, it was very much like Batman Forever in tone for me, which I also love, so I really enjoyed it.
I think they should go with a sequel tbh, let the film get some breath, let it get itself going, in anotehr one we wouldn't need the origin, just go straight into the action.

Even though I thought the movie was simply "ok", I felt and still feel that Reynolds was a HORRIBLE choice. I like the guy, but he just had an expression on his face like it's all a goofy joke.

But Lantern isn't suppossed to be all serious all the time, one thing I feel really hurt GL is how everyone expected a Dark Knight-type film, hell it was even advertised like TDK, which so pissed me off. They are two different characters and in the realm of film-wise, they were so two totally different tones. |

I thought that Green Lantern delivered exactly as advertised to be honest. But I did feel that there was a tad bit too much humor for the character. Reynolds may have worked better as Flash if they really wanted to cast him somewhere.

He's perfect for it and is supposedly a giant fanboy for the character. This giant Deadpool fanboy wants to see that happen. As for GL, I'd be up for him reprising the role, and I don't think he needs to be held responsible for what the film lacked in script and production value. I enjoyed GL a lot more than most it seems, but going off of what I thought the "holes" were, Reynolds wasn't the problem imo. |
