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

Why in the fuck is Wonder Woman wielding a sword?

Pardon me, Wikipedia lists that in her cadre of known weapons. I've certainly never seen it before, though.

she's rocked the greek-style short sword on and off for years

also superman has never had a cape in the comics, that was invented by the 78 movie to hide the flying rig

DC actually went in and altered all the original cartoons and comics to make it consistent with the new becaped Supes (and to screw the creators out of their rights)

Also Clark Kent was originally part kangaroo

ha ha, i had to look up the cape thing to be sure you were joking (and google autocompleted the phrase so someone else has wondered too). reminded me of batman's purple gloves.

i was thinking the same thing, really can't put anything past DC

Wonder-Gadot's heels are quite high, aren't they? How is she going to fight with swords in those?

the dc slate has de-wackied a bit. we don't go from 2 movies a year to 3 until 2018

nikki finke on why her old scoop doesn't match this one

Oh ye of little faith. Granted, the dates don’t exactly line up with what I reported on June 12th but nearly everyone agrees that the titles are still right: Batman v Superman, Shazam, Sandman, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Flash And Green Lantern (team-up), Man Of Steel 2 in that order. (There had been talk of a Metal Men and Suicide Squad movie but that project fell off the schedule I received back then.) It turned out that Warner Bros Pictures and DC Entertainment weren’t ready by Comic-Con to announce the future schedule. In the meantime, they’ve have had the benefit of learning Marvel’s future movie schedule.

Oh man, maybe Guardians' success means the Suicide Squad movie is back on. I ain't holding my breath that they'd be able to summon John Ostrander to any degree how Marvel got Jim Starlin's stuff on screen.

Dying

I dunno; there's something about seeing their compressed schedule laid out like that and DC/WB straining so very hard to hotshot a connected movie universe that makes me wonder how it's not going to be spectacularly mediocre. There's a post on ComicsAlliance reminding me that Marvel Studios was able to set up their assembly line as it were because comic adaptions are all they do and they took years to build it. DC has like 18 months before its train starts coming in.

watched about the last half hour of man of steel on cable. that shit was laughably stupid. Emo supes destroying New York = do not want.

It's METROPOLIS, not New York

*folds arms, adjusts fedora*

kinda disappoints me a bit that this thread title doesn't begin "itt: wailing and gnashing of teeth..."

It's pretty dumb that Metropolis and New York exist in the DC universe

and Gotham I should add

That list of release dates reminds me of every list of arbitrary goalposts I've set for myself when I didn't have a firm plan of what I needed to do in order to reach those goals. Which is to say that WB's "plan" has the makings of an epic, glorious failure. Someone should secure the film rights now!

Curious what the window is for the abort button - I think amazing Spider-Man 3 got it within two years? Cuz like, if wb/dc had this back when they made watchmen and green lantern, it would have been pressed at least once already

I would think a team of villains forced into kamikaze missions under a team name with the word "suicide" in it might be a little rich for PG-13 (and I can't imagine they want to go back to the R-rated waters of Watchmen, which tanked). But then again one of the biggest franchises at the moment shares a plot with Battle Royale so who knows.

i'd assume that loney 2020 from Marvel is Guardians 3, would love to know what two wishes DC has made for that year

Untitled Female Spiderverse

Spider-Female? Spider-Broad?

Spider-Tits?

TS: Untitled Female Spiderverse vs Venom Carnage

I guess it'll be either the Jessica Drew Spider-Woman or the Black Cat? Can't think of any other major female superheroes in the Spider-verse. (I guess it could also be the second Spider-Woman, or one of the Spider-Girls, or Jackpot, but presumably they're all to obscure to be a star of a movie.)

There really hasn't been enough discussion here about Venom Carnage. Because, y'know, Sony is planning to release a movie called Venom Carnage. Venom Carnage.

I wonder if they have the rights to Jessica Drew. She isn't really connected to Spider-Man at all, despite the name.

Whatever the reasoning DC has for moving BvS, I like the fact that they choose to do it the week after GotG broke all those audience records. That just screams 'ok, we're screwed...'

I assume the name of the movie is actually "Venom/Carnage" or "Venom & Carnage", since they are two different characters? Still sounds pretty stupid though.

No, there was a press release or leak or something earlier this week and the title was written out exactly that way: Venom Carnage.

it's nice to know superhero films will go on after we're employed / have tenure / are dead

Sony's "ok guess we ran Spidey into the ground, let's put him on the backburner and make Enemies Of Spidey, Ladyfriend of Spidey and Two Guys Who Dress Like Spidey. Then people will be jazzed for Spidey."

i assume untitled fox superhero is channing tatum's gambit, assuming the world digs him saying "ma cher" and throwing playing cards in x-men apocalypse

these movies are only going to get shittier now that Orci and Kurtzman (he will be responsible for Venom Carnage) are moving into directing

i hope kurtzman realizes that a) spidey should be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine and b) in movies where spidey's not on the screen, the other characters should be saying "where's spidey?"

omg i thought you were guys were kidding about VENOM CARNAGE

I see no reason why it shouldn't be one word

VENOMCARNAGE
