DC Cinematic Universe Movie • Page 48

Just because it has some dark subject matter doesn't mean it can't be great and well done. It wasn't done in some "edgy" way. Again, Identity Crisis being awful is a super hot take.

 

But it goes without saying that different people enjoy different stuff

 

The Killing Joke wasn't good. It was just different and edgy.

 

Warner Bros. loves ‘The Batman’ script by Matt Reeves, summer 2019 production is likely

 

I'm with Tim. Identity Crisis is awful.

 

I’ve literally never met a person, or read a critic, who had anything positive to say about Identity Crisis.

As far as i can tell, it’s nearly universally disparaged as a horrifying product of its time that sent DC down a path it’s only now recovering from.

 

There are people out there who defend it, unfortunately, but yeah, critiquing that story is a pretty common. Rightfully so.

Anyways, wonder when we can expect The Batman to come out. Summer 2020? Or wait 'til Nov/Dec, w/ Birds of Prey tentatively in February of that year? If they're shooting next year, surely we can't be that far removed from some kinda concrete Batman casting information.

 

‘Birds of Prey’ Adds Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Black Canary and Huntress

 

MEW

 

Denise from Full House!

 

Jurnee Smollett-Bell is such a dream and deserves this.

 

Seeing that picture of Montoya as The Question brings back great memories of reading the 52 series for the first time and her whole story.

 

k can Jared Leto only say I am Groot now

 

Woah, I'm way into that.

 

Ayer got a bad deal with the first one, but I'm sold on Gunn doing this sequel. The characters set up in the first one were fun and glad we are getting more.

 

hmm y’all got over the gunn stuff quick huh

 

I remember pages and pages of people debating the issue and there were a lot of people on both sides if not in the middle, so I really don't think a lot of people had anything to get over.

 

In that thought of mind, isn't it right for Gunn to write/direct a movie about villains, who probably want to be elsewhere, saving the day?

 

no

 

Yeah? He was problematic but not abusive, and apologized years ago. The general consensus, I thought, was that he shouldn't have been originally hired with his history at the time, but now that there's strong evidence that he actually changed, he shouldn't have been fired.

Him getting a second chance over various women/POC is bad (see: Lexi Alexander, for a while Karyn Kusama). But, in and of itself, I'm for him getting work.

 

Apparently this is going to be a reboot.

 

By 2012 Gunn was very clearly not the same person he was when he was extremely shitty. Usual caveat is that I generally want non-male, non-white directors to get chances over any white male director, but Suicide Squad is a good fit for him and I hope the movie is good.

 

I know SS was critically panned, but it made a ton of money and I thought general audiences dug it? I'm cool with a reboot, but it just seems like a slightly odd choice. I guess it makes sense given how long it's taken a sequel to get off the ground.

 

No. Gunn can do better. DC is in shambles right now.
