DC/WB Films/Worlds (No Spoilers)

[Stromberg]

I wasn't talking about publication history or comics because thats all meaningless when it comes to movies/outside media. Hawkgirl is above Black Canary when it comes to the GA, Zatanna is too by the way. The BOP movie may change that, but as of right now that's how it is.



I wasn't talking about lists but comments on IG/FB/YT/Twitter. Hawkgirl is always mentioned, alonside Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter. The next most requested ones would be Green Arrow, Zatanna and Black Canary

GA meaning general admission/audience?

But will they ever cast an American to play Bond? It seems like more British and Australian play Americans than Americans play British and Australian people. I don't have a problem with it but is something I noticed.

The first actor to play James Bond on screen was an American. Though it was a tv adaptation of Casino Royale.

And one of the most popular characters in the Injustice 2 game.

She's my main in Injustice 2.

Eh, I don't care. Blame it on our film culture not producing classically trained actors anymore or something.
We're still ahead of Canada.

But that's EXACTLY what's happening with Suicide Squad. The first one under-performed and wasn't well received, and they're rebooting it just a few years later.

As others have said it isn't exactly a reboot, and Suicide Squad didn't bomb (maybe critically, but not financially which is what matters). So no, if BoP bombs, no reboots, no more BoP films, not for a good 20 years minimum. Either this film is successful enough to spawn sequels that might more closely resemble the team you want to see on the big screen, or it bombs and that's the last time the team has a movie in our lifetimes. There are no likely "it bombs and we get a great reboot in a few years" scenarios.

Suicide Squad was actually quite successful and I wouldn’t say it underperformed, I’d say it overprefomed. They wouldn’t be making a sequel if it wasn’t profitable.

At the same time, I think the only reason why The Suicide Squad is being made is because WB went to James Gunn and asked which film he wanted to do for them, and he said "Suicide Squad" and gave a good pitch.

That some of the actors are returning probably says more about the strength of the original casting work that Snyder did than about anything else. Everything else in the movie will likely be all-new.

She's my main in Injustice 2.

Mine too, but then she's my main superhero in everything. 😁

I was moreso talking about the GA. Because of JLU she's more associated with the League than Black Canary or any of the other female Leaguers, minus Wonder Woman. She's easily the most requested female member to join, up there with the likes of Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern in requests.

If I had to rank, I'd say:

1) Wonder Woman
2) Hawkgirl
3) Zatanna
4) Black Canary/Vixen
6) Mera/Jessica Cruz

So it looks like Dinah takes this one ! Congrats, BC ! Other posters have already given reasons why the results shouldn't be surprising.

Did Snyder do casting for Suicide Squad? That's news to me.
Also, Suicide Squad 2 was in the process of being made before James Gunn took over and did a rewrite.

Either way this is going to be the most good-looking version of Ratcather even if they intentionally try and downplay their attractiveness .

He is listed as a producer, and while he might not have cast every single actor, he sort of set the standard for the DCEU actors from the very beginning.

And as for a "proper" sequel to Suicide Squad, WB was tossing dirt at the walls with all sorts of projects just to see what would stick. Without Margot Robbie, I doubt they'd have gone ahead with a Suicide Squad sequel, and it'd be iffy even with her. James Gunn wanting to do a Suicide Squad movie radically changed things up.

Lol a poll based on comic fans opinions, once again proving what I've been saying all along. That's like citing Newsrama or BleedingCool. To comic fans she's the number 2 female of the League, but we don't matter, the GA does and to them Hawkgirl is number 2 (thanks to the DCAU). Like i said, take a trip to social media (YT/IG/Twitter/FB...etc) and you'll see what I mean by Hawkgirl is up there with Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter in requests.

No he didn't. This is once again an example of a Snyder fan trying to take credit from someone else and give it to him. It happened with Patty Jenkins and James Wan as well. David Ayer is known for diverse casts, so he should get credit for the first films amazing cast (they deserved a better film).

[The Darknight Detective]

If we're talking about the heroes (which you certainly weren't since you said comics), even that isn't always the case as seen with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Heh. As a reader of that comic as a kid, i can state unequivocally they were nothing like the movies, for better or for worse.

[The Darknight Detective]

I love Big Trouble in Little China and The Thing, both Carpenter movies that bombed. They weren't highly reviewed and yet are considered cult classics.

Agreed, which is why people who flaunt critical reviews at a movie's premiere as carved in stone may not find that to be the case in the future. I can name numerous movies from my lifetime that fill that bill, as well as some films that have been downgraded over that same time.

Well, just a cursory glance at Instagram, Black Canary is hashtagged 312,794 times... Zatanna almost 84,000 times and Hawkgirl 76,000 times but if you add Hawkwoman, that takes her all the way up to 79,000 times.
