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

if FF2 does well then maybe there will be a crossover, but they'll wait until there's some evidence that adding the fantastic four will make the movie bigger than a regular x-men movie, which is expensive enough

I think since the first film was X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the next was The Wolverine, this next one is the sequel to the second.

It's actually better logic than First Blood followed by Rambo: First Blood Part II followed by Rambo III followed by Rambo

and by the time they get around to making it, it may get changed to Wolverine: Havana Nights or something

I doubt they're gonna call it The Wolverine 2 anyway, since both movies have been effectively retconned out (even if present-day/future Logan may remember them). I'm amazed Hugh Jackman hasn't completely burned out on these yet, seems like he was already sick of it by The Wolverine

xp right

Was thinking how The Wolverine takes place 10 years after X3, and by the time the next Wolverine movie comes out (or if they're still planning to do a StewMac joint) it will be about that long in real-time

his non-singing/non-SNIKTing film career is pretty modest and i bet it would be even more so if he said he was too good for the cash cow

Wolverine: Havana Nights

please

Aunt May kinda sounds like Ant Man. Maybe that's the angle.

Maybe they should do Golden Oldie!!

Aunt May v. Madame Web: Dawn of Naptime

only part of this confirmed was that affleck looked aged in some on-set photos, but man

http://badassdigest.com/2014/08/04/where-does-batman-begin-in-batman-v-superman/

My sources indicate that when BvS opens Batman has existed for close to thirty years, which would place Wayne in his 50s (which is why I expected more grey in Affleck's hair). In this version Batman is still an urban legend, a creature of the night, and no one has ever taken his picture. But he's had plenty of adventures, and the Batcave includes a memorial centered around a tattered Robin costume.

I've heard more, but I'm wary of crossing the line into spoilers. I do quite like this little tidbit, though, because it gives us a sense of a very different Batman than we've ever seen in the movies. This sets Affleck's version apart from Bale and the others easily - he's a quieter operator, not involved in blockbuster battles but in all sorts of badass vigilantism.

By the way, my sources tell me that Wonder Woman has also been in operation for some time before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* begins, and her activities have been just as secretive as Batman's. Her activities were badass as well... but in a very different, and unexpected, way.

combine the rumors and the gist is that superman's destruction of metropolis inspires an old batman, the queen of the amazons and the king of the sea to poke their heads out of their hidey-holes to say "superman, you're a dick"

and meanwhile jesse eisenberg will be bwahaha-ing about something

will be kind of amazing if the team that brought you man of steel follows it up with a meta-critique of man of steel

sounds badass

Honestly would be looking forward to this if it was directed by almost anyone except Zack Snyder.

Actually I am looking forward to it, I just know I won't enjoy it.

Honestly, Man of Steel was mediocre, not awful. Like, if it had been as bad as Superman Returns, then I'd really be dreading this, but I'm sure it'll be full of nonsense but still semi-entertaining.

like maaaaybe someone could make "the justice league was founded as an intervention for this alien tea partier who didn't really understand collateral damage, you may know him as superman" work, but probably not the people who made superman an alien tea partier who didn't understand collateral damage

it's also funny cuz the group that was founded by a bunch of heroes who thought another hero went berserk was...the avengers

(in case people forgot, the reason i'm saying "tea partier" is superman's "lol terrorists don't come from kansas" bit at the end of MoS)

Untitled Female Spiderverse sounds like it should be a song on Trout Mask Replica.

how is 5/1/2015 "Q1"?

fiduciary retconning

UGH this shit

In better WB/DC news, I just found out that the new Batman animated flick they released is a full-on Suicide Squad story.

It's the New52 version, and not Ostrander's, but whatever.

Nu52 ruins everything

Makes sense, Guardians of the Galaxy was a widely panned flop.

crossing my fingers for that deadly serious SHAZAM movie with Dwayne Johnson!

Dwayne Johnson @TheRock
"Kneel at his feet or get crushed by his boot." My honor to become.. #BlackAdam #TheAntiHero #DCComics

but will shazam be played by an actual name or some anono-hunk, that is the question

http://www.fiftiesweb.com/tv/jim-nabors-c.jpg

Hollywood has many big cheeses, but how many of them are red enough?

bautista plz

man grim'n'gritty nolan shazam is gonna be maximum WB/DC faceplant lols

aw shazam may not be part of the justice leagueaverse (though if he does super well i can't imagine they'd hesitate to fly him in)

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/09/03/shazam-movie-rock-fun/

but who will play Tawny?

It IS weird that they cast The Rock before getting someone to actually play Shazam...
Though if this actually ends up being a Black Adam movie I won't complain

the fact that the exec in that article says he thinks the supervillain makes the movie suggests that they're probably getting a real Brandon Routh type for the headliner spot - you wouldn't say that if someone remotely near The Rock's Q score was taking it

so we're just dealing with a whimsical movie about a little boy and his magical superfriend named shazam, that happens to have a high profile actor as an "anti-hero" in it as well.

sounds like a winner!

Hope they include Psycho Pirate so The Rock can do this:

a unique and v. charming film could be made out of the idiosyncratic world - talking tigers, super-intelligent worms - of the original Marvel Family comics

agree. but that will not happen.

no doubt - the success of GOTG and the failure of the second Sin City movie seem to be the death knell for grim and gritty shazam movies, but who knows

I've been seeing a billboard for that sin city movie on my commute for the last month- I looked up today and wondered if it already came out- it did apparently. I did not read a single printed word about it.

it was totally dumped by the studio imo; very weak rollout and publicity compared to the original, end of August release
