At least Hodson and Muschietti will have extra time to polish the script.
* Good to see Dave Wielgosz getting more writing credits, his Chronos story in New Year's Evil was excellent.
*I had no idea that Tomasi was bringing Lincoln March back in Detective Comics, should...
That's the point though. While probably pretty much any character COULD be great if some extraordinary idea was applied to them, it doesn't change their current state. It doesn't matter to the...
If we're limiting this to heroes who has had their own books with at least some regularity, I think it's hard to get around Martian Manhunter and Nightwing. The latter is especially egregious, he's...
Same. I'm thinking it's some kind of rights issue, where DC loses the license to the character if he's not in print or something, or it sells like hotcakes in digital format.
Birds of Prey sold around 15.000 copies a month when it was last published as a comic, I don't think displeased fans can be said to have had a massive impact on the box office...
I had the same problem with McConaughey, and even if Sarsgaard fits a bit better into the wage structure they seem to be going for among the actors I think it's more likely that he's playing the...
I wonder if they'll take the chance to retcon some of the stuff with Blofeld from Spectre, or double down on it? I mean, it would be the simplest thing in the world to throw in one or two lines about...
I don't think sexual objectification in and of itself is necessarily wrong, and these stories take place in a heightened reality, but still... Anyone who sees this should be deeply embarrassed.
Having a tightly shared universe screwed WB over massively with the whole Justice League fiasco. When they realized that the tone and story they had locked in on weren't connecting there was no way...
...especially since pretty much all the rest of that story was already adapted in The Dark Knight.
Hm. One of my biggest doubts about the rumors of "The Batman" being indebted to The Long Halloween was that they hadn't cast any mafiosos, but suddenly Falcone is confirmed. Then again, as good as...
No, they won't.
I guess this means that the buddy cop-film with Hal Jordan and John Stewart that Geoff Johns was writing is now dead?
I think it's more about diluting the brand. There's still an exclusivity to Batman, when he's in something people get excited, start buzzing, and expect all stops to be pulled. WB probably thinks...
Scarecrow and Riddler definitely does in my book (although I'm sure there are portrayals of them where they don't as well) but I'm 100 % with you on Penguin, I'm always annoyed when he's portrayed as...
But Croc is just a really strong guy, there's nothing about him that need some kind of special containment. I like the cannibalism-angle better, or even that he's just seen as a straight up monster...
I think he was originally put in Arkham after getting beaten in Knightfall due to being n a catatonic state, but if we're following the VERY fast and loose rules of mental illness and insanity in the...
I wonder how stuff like this works, as it's highly likely that Leto originally signed on for eventual sequels and the like. Will WB have to buy him out of his contract, or is there some force majeure...
I'm actually very curious about what direction that film would have taken. As you say, Deathstroke pretty much only makes sense as an antagonist if you're going to focus heavily on action (although...
I'm OK with the Nigma as his original name as well, but changing to it fits with Riddler's character as I see it. It's a small, silly and petulant attempt to try to bend the world to his (insane)...
I think Chuck Dixon introduced that retcon in the comics some time in the 90's. I quite like it.
I agree about Future's End being terrible, but surely Batman Eternal was always going to be 52 issues, covering a whole year? I remember that being a big USP and part of the marketing from the start.
WB marketed the hell out of it, probably for way more than $55 million, and it wouldn't surprise me if Phoenix has some kind of percentage on the box office take. Still impressive though.
I don't know who any of those characters are, although I'm guessing Mongal has something to do with Mongul?
