Marvel ain't touching DC in the next few years.

[Bryan Danielson]

That's also a big reason why I have high hopes for these DC projects because Warner Bros. hires a director like David Ayer and he writes/directs his own movie. They put the project in his hands and let him cook. Just like they put the Batman/Superman into Snyder/Terrio's hands. They have main bullet points of an overall story arc and the rest is filled in with the director's own vision.

I still think for DC to be successful if they are trynna do this whole "universe" thing is they have to do something similar (not like but just similar) to the thing Marvel gets criticized for.

Keeping all the movies the same tone

Each movie can be different and tell its own story but it has to still be cohesive to the bigger picture. Green Lantern doesnt fit in TDK world and it would be unbelievable for (if it never bombed) RReynolds to ever come to Gotham to Batman.

I dont think one movie should be Fast and Furious, then other is The Godfather than another is Transformers than another is Twilight then another is Harry Potter and finally another is Drive.

None of those movies relate and I dont think people realize how much of a clusterfukk that could be

Also that's the reason why fox has fantastic four and x men and why Sony has spider man. Marvel still had their name slapped on them but it wasn't marvel studios it was marvel entertainment

LOL... no I get that breh.... but in the same vain.... those movies always seem to be build more as SONY'S SPIDERMAN or FOX's XMEN and so on

Of course because they are but as Marvel's intellectual property, they are still a part of marvel entertainment. Marvel entertainment is different from marvel studios. Marvel entertainment is the parent company that the studio branches off of. Just like there's Marvel's comics division and a movie division. So X-Men Apocalypse can't get billed as being a part of the marvel studios brand because it's not.

I don't think they have to breh..I think you can do different tones but keep the same connective tissue, whether it be characters or certain themes or even running storylines, just like comics. Batman isn't the same comic as Wonder Woman but they exist in the same world and its possible to do it. It might be a tougher trick to pull off but its a trick that can be pulled off

Well, for me, I wouldn't trade that time with my kid for the world. Sometimes you just have that bond with your children; comics, gaming and art is our milieu.

My wife has zero interest in superhero films so she just let's us do our thing.

I'm sure you'll get a chance to experience that yourself, breh.

Can't wait
teaching my son about Mario and Dreamcast and the first playstation and tetris and all that
by the time I have kids they might even have interactive tetris and mario wallpaper

Agree this is why I don't understand why Marvel stans go hardcore over their directors like Gunn and the Russo bros. Based on their past work, they are all average/below average directors who probably would've never gotten a chance to do a big budget film. They cook whatever Marvel tells them to cook, they're the chefs, Marvel is the owner watching from behind the scenes. With WB you can see each director's style. Ex. Ayers shoots for realism in his films so in SS he went the practical route even though he's dealing with magical beings (Enchantress for example). Synder on the other hand is an visual type of director who uses a lot of Green screens and CGI but makes it look good in the end, plus he has his signature slow motion shots.

I think it you kinda answered your own question.... its because they did pick these directors and yes at 1st its questionable but when the final product is released its surprisingly far exceeds expectations

When it comes to the cooks and chef thing... I'm sure its probably the same for both companies to a degree.... dont get it twisted


You either stand with the mouse or kneel before the rabbit breh

I don't know but the Russo Bros did release the best Marvel film since Iron Man with TWS. I think 5hey can work magic and Cap 3 the only Marvel movie I'm looking ford to.

They will be. One of their main sticking points is "we're not marvel" so they will hammer home the depressed, dark aesthetic.

You can already see in the BVS trailer the mute colors and tone. If the main three characters have that look the rest of the justice league will follow.

Idk homie because Suicide Squad looks different from that. The only thing they both have in common is a bit of an edge but they look like two completely different movies. It's like I said last night, it's not easy to create a universe when you're making movies with different tones and aesthetics but its also not impossible. The only comparable thing, and its not a perfect comparison, would be the james bond flicks. The feel of those movies changed based on the director. Or of course we can just look at the comics and see how a batman comic is different from a wonder woman comic but they both exist in the same world.

I don't have a problem with them going in a opposite direction than marvel and they should. They need to establish their brand and what separates their brand from them so you can't do the same thing because then we'd all be bored to death

Tawky Tawny is actually a thing in DC already - McLaren didn't just pull him out of thin air - he's normally more associated with Shazam though
