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

She starred in the movie Haywire and apparently played Riley Hicks in Fast and Furious 6

I'm pretty sure her face is photoshopped into that WW picture. She's a former(?) mixed martial arts fighter who was the lead in a Soderbergh film about a freelance asskicker and did surprisingly well with the non-asskicking parts. xp

After talking about this with a big Superman fanboy in my office, all I can think now is "HEY JOKAH, YOU LIKE APPLES? WELL HOW DO YOU LIKE DEM APPLES!"

haha HIGH FIVE

nicely put.

gina carano would be an awesome wonder woman omg CAN THIS HAPPEN PLZ

Affleck just won an Oscar, what more financial independence does the dude need

Oscars don't pay the bills. Hell, I'm surprised Snyder isn't funding this movie through Kickstarter.

Man of Shit made $400 million why would a studio NOT bankroll the shitty sequel?

Man of Shit!

no wait it made way more than that

anyway

xp

Gross: $289,633,849 (USA) (16 August 2013)

how much did it make non-USA?

Gross: $24 (Krypton) (16 August 2013)

lol

Man Of Steel was definitely a hit, and this likely will be too. But I still think Marvel is going to send them a thank-you bouquet because unless this is CRAZY good, good enough to make people want to meet the flash, it won't actually fix DCs problem, where they have the #1 & #2 cinematic superheroes of all time, while marvel has like 3-20 right now.

there's "hey they went, we made a couple hundred mill yaaaay" good and there's "america's now hungry to see ben solo, ps where's martian manhunter" good

Accidentally genre crossover, I read da croup's post and thought, "Ben is LUKE's son, the Solo kids were Anakin, Jacen and Jaina."

Please kill me.

lol

also if the movie where the top two superheroes meet doesn't get anywhere near the movie where #5, 8, 10 and 14 met (currently the biggest superhero movie ever) then ouuuch

this totally isn't going to fix DC's problem because ZACK SNYDER IS FUCKING HORRIBLE

yeah yeah, zack's a tone-deaf fool who should be doing levi's ads, but i mean christ, the justice league roster is so sad right now

flash: mia, but marvel's got TWO quicksilvers showing up before they could wheel him out
green arrow: marvel has their archer in the avengers, they've got theirs on the CW
wonder woman: pilot not picked up by the cw
green lantern: well, the movie did make almost a million more than ghost rider and THAT got a sequel
captain marvel: nope
martian manhunter: haha ok sure why not
plastic man: please let's nolan him up

oh forgot aquaman

also Cyborg is now a Justice League A-lister, don't front

SO LONG, SUCKERS

xpost oh right he's in lego batman 2, forgot

seems like the core they need to worry about is Batman-Superman-Wonder Woman and the others are gravy

xp

but yeah these will suck why because everyone involved is terrible, whereas the Avengers is guided by competent filmmaker with a solid cast and a coherent plan from the parent company

seems like the core they need to worry about is Batman-Superman-Wonder Woman and the others are gravy

that's the thing - they think they're challenging avengers 2 by putting the two biggest guys together forgetting that Avengers was A+ moneyball where this would giving away batman free with your superman.

would be giving away, i mean

i almost feel bad for affleck being made to not only pull off batman but made to pull him off in the middle of a superman movie, but then he has oscars, millions and memories of j lo's butt up close and personal so he'll be ok

i hope he just walks into the movie screaming "HELLO I AM BATMAN, THE ONE AND ONLY" like his cameo in Shakespeare In Love

would so prefer this movie to be full of Silver Age hijinks like Batman standing in for Clark Kent while Superman wins an award and then they fight the Toyman on top of a giant blender. also Lois Lane gets turned into a black lady.

Non-stop Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite or no deal.

Bale was kinda terrible when in the actual suit for much of the neo-Bat films imo.

he may have been my favorite wayne but i hated him as batman

kinda agree, he made an awesome Wayne

keaton's wayne is pretty great in a fun "i seem distracted but that's because i should really be kicking people in tights right now" way but bale's usually vaguely fake air worked great for implying a secret life/demon, sadly that demon wanted COOKIES

its too bad bale's wayne wasnt given more to do, because yeah he was pretty good outside the suit

I'm trying to predict if this is going to be worse than the Green Lantern movie...

i would say affleck will be *closes eyes, throws dart* better than kilmer but worse than clooney

Affleck is terrible for this

everyone is terrible for this, it was already going to be a terrible movie, why does this matter

also APPARENTLY no one remembers gina carano for her greatest role, as "Crush" in the revamped american gladiators

poor ben, that the debate is between "ben affleck will suck" and "who cares, stop talking about it, oh i can't stand this net chatter i'm forced to endure!"

i mean, i know the cv is that lots of people thought keaton would suck, but i'm pretty sure the other side was saying "i dunno that guy's pretty fucking awesome" not "oh do shut up, person on my phone, I care not!"

woopsie, i meant the conventional wisdom not the curriculum vitae

everyone is terrible for this, it was already going to be a terrible movie, why does this matter

You're wrong, this is all very important.

Did you not see the White House petition?!? You must not be American.
