Current Events > Henry Cavill done as Superman

(+) Yeah! (+)

"Batgirl is getting her own movie... Nah, just kidding."
"Michael Keaton is coming back as Batman.... Nah, just kidding."
"Henry Cavill is coming back as Superman... Nah just kidding."

I think Flashpoint is definitely a sunk cost fallacy for them. Batwoman was supposed to be a HBO Max movie.

Again letting go of someone who has filmed literally nothing is in a different situation compared to people who have filmed entire movies WB are sitting on.

Convenient excuse.

Ezra Miller could literally kill a child and WB fanboys will go "well the film is already finished! Let WB make profits off his infamy!!!"

I don't think anybody could have done a worse job with this fanchise

The Snyder-made films are the best DC movies, though.

BvS pitiful BO was the biggest failure in cinematic history

Sure, you can be sad that Lex Luthor is a modern tech CEO instead of a suit-wearing, cigar-smoking mogul from the 40s, but his performance was great in the context of what he was supposed to be.

It was less about action, more about characters and their motivations. I tend to prefer a story that really digs into the people involved, rather than just having them all standing up as moral juggernauts from the very start.

But nothing about that performance was good.

Except the characters are as dull as dishwater

BvS pitiful BO was the biggest failure in cinematic history and should have been the easiest billion dollars ever but synder still managed to botch it.

Idc how big a fanboy you or any other fan of his is. But there's no defending a screw up of that scale.

the hell is BO?

1.) The theatrical cut removed a fairly large number of story-significant scenes that connected various decisions and motives.

2.) A lot of people (critics included) were expecting/wanted a light hearted movie with a bunch of jokes and levity. It basically got review bombed by people who didn't like the tone, which really hurt its following weekends.

To this day you still have people calling it "the worst movie ever made," and there were a lot of people who saw the Joss Whedon cut of Justice League and called it "the best DCEU movie yet"

It's a bunch of mismanaged expectations and people who don't like alternate takes on characters or story lines.

There are a lot of people who hate it because it's different from what they wanted it to be. It was less about action, more about characters and their motivations.

It was also needlessly mean spirited with synder killing off Jimmy Olsen who Lois partner in the beginning, wtf?

The word of mouth was terrible, and the reviews reflected that.

It wasn't a success at all.

characterizations were so off that proformances didn't even matter

Those people were the vast majority

It wasn't. It was a great movie that was harmed significantly by two major factors:

1.) The theatrical cut removed a fairly large number of story-significant scenes that connected various decisions and motives.

2.) A lot of people (critics included) were expecting/wanted a light hearted movie with a bunch of jokes and levity. It basically got review bombed by people who didn't like the tone, which really hurt its following weekends.

It was middle of the road in terms of the box office, but in terms of quality, Joss Whedon's justice league is legit the worst DC movie since Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. Yet people still praised it for trying to be more MCU-like.

The course of this series was leaning toward an Injustice-style story, which kind of needs Superman to have some doubt and a little bit of moral indecision in order for it to be believable.

It sucks but that just isn't true at all when movies like Catwoman, Green Lantern, Batman & Robin and Jonah Hex exist. There's no reason to be hyperbolic.

Amazon trying to get the rights to Warhammer 40k, also trying to get Cavill.

And a great deal of the reviews were on it because it was too dark and moody, which is exactly what fans like me loved about it. There's no pleasing everybody.

Yet people still praised it for trying to be more MCU-like. That's the mood of the critics in that era. That's one reason why I don't give a f*** about critic opinions anymore. They chase trends.

Maybe if you based them strictly off the mainstream comics, you'd be right. But based on the movie universe that was being established, based on TDKR, based on other takes that have historically existed, it's not really that far off. The course of this series was leaning toward an Injustice-style story, which kind of needs Superman to have some doubt and a little bit of moral indecision in order for it to be believable.

Acknowledged, but those of us in the minority really appreciated that we finally got something made for us, and not for the majority. Maybe it wasn't the best financial decision in the end, but it was great for those of us who enjoyed what we had. The MCU already exists for light hearted, fast-paced superhero action. We like that the DC movies tended to be a bit slower, more introspective, moodier, and with higher power levels when the action started

but I felt they really matched the tone and themes of the JL/JLU animated series.

They didn't match remotely.

The Cadmus arc?

Not even that.

Apparently he is onboard the project at Amazon to do a Warhammer 40,000 series.

You probably need to rewatch it then..

He plays IRL Warhammer so you know this gonna be good

Now please announce you're back as Gerald Witcher

Now please announce you're back as Gerald Witcher

It's been about 10 years so I'd say about time

You probably need to rewatch it then..

Superman was snapping necks while Batman used heavy artillery to kill goons? Superman moped about how nothing is good in the world and only cares about being with Lois? Did he dad suggest letting a bus full of kids die to protect himself is worth considering?

I really dont care how the Warhammer & Cavill thing turns out, I just know there will be a lot of very salty Warhammer nerds no matter what, particularly if Amazon dares to make the cast diverse.

You definitely need to rewatch the movies as well then, if all you have are exaggerated memories like that...

Nothing I said was exaggerated at all. But I understand you don't have an actual rebuttal so are repeating yourself.
