"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice"

If they do a Justice League film, I hope that leads to a Teen Titans film. I have wanted to see one since I was a kid, and the closest I have ever come is that crappy cartoon. I always wanted them to just make one, but they can't do that, for some reason, they have to start from scratch. So if the JLA movie never happens, I'll have to wait for another Batman reboot to get my Titans movie.

Prediction: It will cram in too much, too fast, with a focus on setting up other movies rather than telling its own story, and everything will be focus tested to try and make it "appeal" to the "largest" demographics possible.

Couldn't have said it better.

I wouldn't have thought a few years ago that I could be so... so depressed by the existence of a live action movie with the Trinity in. But who knows. Maybe they'll finally make the sort of DC comics movie I've been waiting for, with action and drama and joy and humor. *crosses fingers and hopes*

I bet they change the title. There is sooooooooooooooo much negative reaction to it. But seriously... this is is why executives should keep their hands out of making movies.

SO not impressed.

*Yawn* The Daredevil series starts shooting this summer.

Wonder Twin powers activate!

"Don't believe the hype"

I'm as big a fan of DC as anyone, but this sounds like a recipe for disaster unless...UNLESS...they have a solid script, and even then, as was mentioned, it sounds like they're going to cram in as much as possible. I'd love it if they could pull it off, but the pessimist inside me says no.

And if my pessimist side is right, then that is gonna suck come movie time. And probably piss me off, too. They should do what Marvel does. Give the Batman/Superman flick it's own story arc, same deal with Wonder Woman and then Cyborg. (He's an interesting character, but not one of the biggies, so he could probably be factored in with one of the major stars).

I really want this to work...but...wait and see.

I'm just hoping it will be as good as Green Lantern...

For that remark you should be flayed.

Or exalted.

Or something.

I think it will be a work of sublime genius and beauty. Like Apocalypse now meets Casablanca meets The Smurfs.

You'll have to be more specific. Which Teen Titans cartoon are you referring to?

Yeah, I enjoyed Teen Titans, but can't stand Teen Titans Go!

Maybe she was referring to the series that came out in the 2000's with the theme song by Puffy. I think they had a full-length feature cartoon, but my memory's a little hazy.

I am not going to see a masterful Superman movie in my lifetime, am I?

I think it's sweet how the Man of Steel sequel gives Batman top billing.
---Well, he's all about equal opportunity, isn't he?

Kind of gives away who wins the fight, dont'cha think?
---He let Bats win. There, I said it. Spoiler!

Still it's better than Batman v. Superman: The Quest to Catch Up With Marvel.
---Maybe you should have a word with Chris about that. I'm sure he'll want to hear from you.

Can't wait for Justice League: Hell No, We're Not Putting Motherfucking Aquaman In the Movie!--Good. Aquaman may patrol 70% of the world's surface (or below it, actually), but he'd make a soggy hero.

You know, you forgot an option in the poll

... wait, it's a DC superhero movie, so who cares, it will tank anyway.

That said, Chris Nolan's Batman will be what Affleck is judged against, and I don't think he'll pull it off.

Outside of that, I probably will only go to see it for Amy Adams. Like I only went to see the Toby Maguire Spiderman movies for Kirsten Dunst as a redhead...

I don't know.

During "Man of Steel" I was entertained, but afterwards, there were a lot of nagging problems that didn't sit well with me, both on a story and character level.

And now they're going to take on my favorite hero of all time? I'm... uneasy.

I guess I don't know the proper name. I have never seen one I liked.

Hmm, just out of curiosity...

did it look like this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343314/mediaindex

or like this? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2771780/mediaindex?ref_=tt_pv_mi_sm

I think I have only actually seen that first one. But the second one doesn't look so hot, either.

They're both using the original characters that were introduced in the New Teen Titans comic from the 80's, and none of the old school characters, except Robin, which I always thought was weird. And it was much too childish for that book.

I see. I asked because there is practically nobody who likes the second series, but there is a huge following for the first. I myself enjoy it. It has comedy (a lot of it), but it knows when it should take itself seriously and always has this balance to it. Kinda reminds me of Avatar that way, come to think of it.

I can't comment on how it compares to the comics as I haven't read them (though I do know they are dark and serious compared to the show). But, if there is one thing that can be appreciated about the show, is that Deathstroke was more interesting and intimidating than in the DC comics (IMO). Ron Perlman should be the go to guy for him from now on in adaptations.

The second series is... ugh. Example: The only episode I've seen involved Trigun coming to the base and hanging out with the Titans. Raven was horrified that her nerdy father was embarrassing her in front of her friends or something.

... what?

Just curious, what do you mean that Deathstroke was more interesting on the show than he was in the comics if you haven't read them? I don't think I even saw Deathstroke on the series, but he was awesome in the comic. The 80's comic wasn't as dark as Batman was, but it was darker and more sophisticted than the show.
