itt: consternation and wailing about Zach Snyder's upcoming SUPERMAN/BATMAN film/sequel to MAN OF STEEL -- official title: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

I didn't read this news directly til maybe Saturday.

Surely he can't be worse than Christian Bale?

always forget how big an argo fan you were

wait did Morbz actually watch a batmovie?!?

You really need to ask that?

morbs saw the one w the joker, we talked abt it

They could have cast Morbs as Batman. I bet he would have done it for free if they let him keep the deep grouchy voice changer. I know I would!

I just saw Argo and thought evil Mirror beard Spock not batman

Surely he can't be worse than Christian Bale?

yeah I think he could. Bale was boring but at least you didn't get the palpable sense of embarrassment which I think is in play here with Affleck.

Affleck as douche-batman (basically his character in dazed and confused) would be great.

i hope they give affleck his own batman franchise

do you think we can break the Internet by photoshopping Miley from the VMAs as Harley Quinn

hope Cranston has the good sense to stay away from this

otoh lol:
And as if all of these rumors weren’t enough, now there’s talk that Matt Damon is being considered for either Aquaman or the Martian Manhunter

a dilemma for any actor

affleck's probably directing the justice league movie. he was already rumoured before and now, as sean o'neal put it, he'd get to work w/ his favorite actor. as someone who's pretty sick of the affleck comeback and very sick of the batman franchise i greeted this news w/ profound joy.

and now, as sean o'neal put it, he'd get to work w/ his favorite actor

haha

Man of Shit Gross: $660.9 million

morbsian numbers

man of gross shit

love that marvel moved ant-man up to open two weeks after superbat

not sure exactly how to read the tea leaves but i think they might be hoping a good chunk of the superbat audience will be easily swayed from seeing superbat twice

would watch Ant-Man if it was all Phase IV-style nature photography w/creepy editing

in reality will just shake my head that there is actually a fucking ant man movie

an Ant Man movie that follows Hank Pym's descent into madness and wife-beating would be a very bold and unexpected move

In July 2015, DC will slip their most successful character into the sequel for their second most successful character.

In July 2015, Marvel will look around for a property they haven't made billions off of already, and realize they're down to Ant-Man.

Ant-Man isn't even that far down the rabbit hole, call me when Marvel is releasing a Maggott movie

you dudes need to give Asshole Ant-Man a chance

Nhex OTM, there could be some seriously entertaining fan whiplash here

there are seven Marvel-based movies coming out before Superbat, admittedly three are from companies desperate not to lose their claim on Marvel titles but I have to wonder if Warner Bros has just given up on having even a fraction of the overall supermovie-market Marvel/Disney has, and are hoping they can at least reclaim the gold medal from The Avengers.

Ant-Man movie will be directed by Edgar Wright, so don't write it off just yet.

Comic book lord Kevin Smith says the new Batsuit blew his mind.

blew it all over his jorts

Comic book...lord?

just quoting Associated Press

I guess it's grey and black. Cool

Zack Snyder's ear for dialogue is second only to Helen Keller's.

And Jeremy Irons as Alfred.

omg

they are seriously going to introduce a new batman, new alfred, new wonder woman and new lex luthor in one movie

in one superman movie

like, imagine if The Avengers came out a year after Thor, with no Captain America movie and a recast Iron Man.

I hope they go full camp. Who is the modern Schumacher?

make it stop

Who is the modern Schumacher?

Snyder iirc

Eisenberg is actually an interesting choice, but there's no way this won't just be a massive shitshow.

it doesn't matter who gets cast because Snyder will find a way to make them boring.

^^^^

this could be all my favorite actors working now and I still wouldn't see it, Snyder is a horrorshow

dc/warner bros is so drowning in marvel/disney envy that they're going to just lump all their iconic figures in one movie just ONE film into the specific universe (unless ryan reynolds gonna fly through for a cameo). they're basically going to try a sony spider-man-style reboot INSIDE of an underbaked Avengers. jesus christ.

yup

altho this is the first I heard of Wonder Woman showing up in this

Gal Gadot announced as WW late last year.

i love that they're bumping this back a year but don't have any dc universe films planned for the interim. Apparently, they will give us nothing but gossip about script problems and bad buzz in 2015.

they hamstrung themselves with the previous Batman flicks imo, which were obviously huge blockbusters but also never intended to be universe-building-blocks a la the Marvel movies. trying to play catch-up like this is just sad. especially on the back of Man of Shit.
