DC Cinematic Universe

They’re making a live action Teen Titans movie

They’ve hired the writer who wrote (still writing?) the script for the new Supergirl movie

 

Because the new film Batman The Brave and the Bold is supposed to be focussed around Damian I assume he’ll be in it. And if this woman is writing Supergirl you could put her on the Teen Titans if you want to cast her as like 16 (that new actress could pass for that). 
 

I just wish DC had all this shit sorted years ago. They got some interesting stuff cooking, but I think they’re 10 years to late for the cinematic universe thing

I really liked The Batman, but still find this a bit puzzling. It's such a gimmicky performance by Colin Farrell, a lot of fun in the film but I'm not super into the idea of a long form story about him.

 

Definitely going to check it out though, Bats and Gotham remain the only comic book-ey thing to pull me in right now

Trailer soon, apparently

Expect a divisive response cause a lot of people aren't super into how these films ignore the mythologies of these characters, but it looks like a fun and playful genre deconstruction. 

 

Wasn't a huge fan of the first one, mind. But it's hard to get a guy like this to sign up to sequels so they must have some cool ideas at least

[Maryokutai]

That last shot is really cool. Dunno what to make of it, but I'll watch it. I did like the first one for the most part, bar that one dumb flashback towards the end that screamed 'test audience wanted explanation'.

[Maf]

I know it’s just marketing but oooh if it isn’t working on me this movie can’t get here soon enough 🤗

 

 

[Maf]

So the last Superman reveal was actually fake and made with AI, seemingly this is the real one

 

 

Looks cool, I guess. Battle damaged before even putting it on? No idea what’s happening in the background. I like he seems not particularly concerned about it. Big, green, purple death ball? I’ll get it in a sec 

[Maryokutai]

Looking at this I wonder why they replaced Cavill only to put someone in the role that looks like he could be his brother. I mean I suppose it's one of those clean cut things where they want to leave the DCEU cocktail behind, but still.

[Maf]

I don't think Henry Cavil lost the part because he doesn't look like Superman enough. I think out of all actors to play Superman he looked the best. Based off this picture Cavill looks bigger than this guy as well 

 

They seem to be picking and choosing who and who doesn't get carried over for the new stuff. Henry Cavill out, Peacemaker in. Because James Gunn's wife has a big role in that TV show lol. 

 

I just checked. This is a film is a year away

I noticed this with Shogun, where a lot of modern TV is going for this weird super intense lens distortion thing. imo, it looks really bad here, I don't get it at all

[DANGERMAN]

while I thought he did a pretty good job in the film, that thumbnail shows why they maybe should have hired someone who doesn't need a ton of CG and a fat suit

Superman set photos leak

 

Spoiler

Shame about the S because the rest of the suit is amazing. And comic accurate Mr Terrific? Amazing. If they’re trying to be that accurate I can’t wait to see their Hawkgirl 

[Maf]

More Superman set leaks, this time Clark Kent. One of the many things I love about Superman is this random mister nobody can swat down gods and demons inbetween going to work. He could smash reality apart and sing it back together on he’s lunch break and come back and be like “Hey, Ms Lane”

 

Spoiler

 

Think they’ve done a good job of making him look really different when he’s Superman as well

 

Spoiler

 

[Nag]

Hopefully they'll do a good job on making him not look like he's cosplaying too...😉

[Maf]

Weird how this go around superheroes are skinny instead of bulky

 

 

[Nag]

That Superman suit looks like it's hanging off him though... Cavill looks so much better in my opinion.

[Maf]

When they’re finished it will look much better with the correct lighting and angles. I remember way back when there were set leaks of Chris Evan’s Captain America costume for Avengers 1 and how terrible it looked. In the movie, despite still looking a bit silly, it was tons of times better than the photo leaks. 
 

i expect the same to happen here as well, but even without this being the final product, I still think the costume looks better than Cavil’s (although to be nit picky in terms of face and build Cavil is a more convincing Superman)

[one-armed dwarf]

A lot of these films go for a very tinted teal colour grade so it will look a lot darker for sure

If everything fails they can always do the floating heads thing from Endgame:
