Its crazy just how bad Snyder ended up being. I loved his work on 300 and the watchmen directors cut so much it almost seemed like a whole other guy. How could u make some unknown heroes from the watchmen so dope yet can't handle the big league heroes that already have known back stories and villains. Should have been easy money and a career builders smh

I've said 100x times Zack Snyder should be doing

Voltron
Mortal Kombat ( I think he's perfect)

Anything close to DC or something with a character building he needs to stay far away.

All that smolding smoke, heat, and ashes being spread through the air......

And cats still like “where’s the fire?:what: I don’t believe there’s a fire till I see it.:shaq2: Oh that’s not smoke that’s fog and it’s only hot cuz of the humidity”:duck:



:mjlol:

I'm still shocked at how many dudes took shyt personal when we said this shyt was a mess and dumpster fire. That somehow being critical of these garbage flicks means you're a Disney stan cause you thought Infinity War is good.

You can be a fan of both DC and Marvel. All of us on here love Batman, Superman Green Lantern, etc and wanted a dope interconnected universe.

This shyt ain't even mediocre like Fox X-Men shyt was.

This is total trash. 1 good movie (WW) and 1 really good flawed flick (MOS).

hes not gone, just Henry's people and WB going back n forth on the business side of things

this was probably a chess move on Henry's part to show WB what the backlash would be like if he left the role at this moment in time

He's tryna increase his dollars, thats all

. . .What backlash?

IGN, CBM, USAToday, People etc. are asking who should be the next Superman.

WB seems to be getting more backlash for the idea of Michael B Jordan being Superman.

Backlash for Cavill? Where?

There is no backlash,and he didn't even have the power to put his foot down and say he was shaving his mustache for Justice League:ufdup:. He doesn't have that kind of power to demand anything at this moment in time. You think they would have told The Rock or Will Smith they couldn't cut a mustache off:childplease:?

Exaclty,I see his people trying to create a backlash to keep himself in the role. That Michael B Jordan rumor might be just enough to do it:francis:. He's lucky WB was dumb enough to say that out loud,that might be just enough to make Superman fans angry enough that there is a backlash,and they are begging to keep Cavil.

:pachaha::bryan: @ these idiots shoehorn in both those epic storyline into one movie and then half assin it

Insane,I still don't understand why,was it just for the shot at the biggest potential cash grab in history with BVS? Or was it Christopher Nolans love of Batman? He actually had the nerve to say Batman had to be the one to assemble the league,why Nolan:martin:?Heres how I think it should have gone.

MOS-Shows supermans troubled childhood and being forced to run from his powers,and struggling whether to use them for good or evil. Zod forces him to reluctantly reveal himself. They fukk the city up the same as they did in MOS.

MOS 2-Superman moves to Metropolis,meets Lois and they form a platonic friendship. Lex campaigns against Superman based on the destruction him and Zod did and Metropolis agrees. Bruce Wayne is a Lex supporter and they work together to create something that could hurt Superman. Aquaman shows up with beef because of the damage Zods world engine did to the Ocean. A righteous but arrogant/royal Aquaman,not drunken a$$hole Aquaman:martin:. Aquaman and his sea creatures gives Superman the beats through most of the film. Bruce and Lex disagree on whether or not to use the weapon to destroy them both,Batman says its too dangerous and needs work. Bruce is out gooned by Lex without any gadgets,ends up needing assistance from one of Lex workers. Lex's employee helps Bruce,and prevents Lex from using the weapon but is turned into The Flash. Superman eventually wins out against Aquaman once he snaps,nearly kills Aqauaman as the sea creatures mourn and take him back to the ocean. The city is destroyed once again,but the people see Superman as a savior this time. Bruce still thinks Superman has to be stopped.

BVS-A new beautiful female gets close to Clark,brings out some competetion in Lois and she tells him be careful as she looks out of his league. Flash is now on that bullshyt robbing banks and Superman can't stop him or catch him. Braniacs conscience finds Lex through Zods ship and tells him where to go to find the thing that will kill Superman. Bruce gears up to face Superman,attacks him as Clark first to let him know he knows his identity. Takes a L,but Superman refuses to really hurt him. The beautiful female gets closer to Clark romantically,he refuses sex. She insist and manhandles her way into sex and takes his virginity as we discover she is Wonder Woman. The sex was a test of strength and stamina,he fails the stamina test:picard:. She tells him about a prophecy of the world being destroyed,and tells him he will be needed,she can't stop it alone. But first she says they need to go find and kill Lex,which he is not okay with. Superman just wants to lay low after what he almost did to Aquaman as he is scared of what he could potentially do if he ever snapped. She calls him weak and goes to handle it himself. Batman sends messages to Superman with attacks on his mother and father and Lois. Goes to confront Batman in a epic battle,spares Batmans life and tells him he's here to stay.Ends with Lex discovering Doomsday deep in the ocean following the instructions of Braniac. Braniacs gives instructions on how to control the creature with a signal,but the instructions actually wake up and anger Doomsday. Doomsday destroys Lex's crew and submarines and walks on the bottom of the ocean.

Justice League-opens up with Doomsday coming accross Aquamans home,they do their best to protect Aquaman who is still in a coma. Doomsday destroys the underwater city and its creatures and attempts to get to Aquaman,but he is inside an enclosed container that protects him. Doomsday comes on land and causes some destruction,Wonder Woman who was tracking Lex is first on the scene to try to stop Doomsday,he beats the shyt out of her. Doomsday is being drawn to Metropolis by the signal Braniac had Lex create. Aquaman wakes up to his city being destroyed and goes to get whoever is responsible.Once he gets near Metropolis Flash is forced to become a good guy to stop Doomsday from reaching the city,he is able to distract him until Aquaman shows back up for revenge. Doomsday handles him as well eventually. Clark is back home in Kansas dealing with a sick parent and doesn't know this is happening. Batman is last on the scene but shows up armed to the teeth,with plenty of gadgets,and has done plenty of prep. He gives Doomsday the most trouble out of everyone. Clark finally starts to hear about it and turns on the t.v. His sick father watches with him,Superman says "Batman can handle it:troll:",he doesn't want to leave his pops. His father convinces him to leave and reminds him of Lois being in danger too. Superman shows up just in time to save Batman who is on the losing end. Superman and the rest of the battered league fight Doomsday,eventually its one on one again with Superman and Doomsday with Superman winning but dying. His father dies as well. Dianna says Doomsday wasn't who was told to her in the prophecy,she blames herself because she didn't tell him he would likely die even though she knew,but he was the only hope. Bruce at the end of the movie shown digging up Clarks grave.

Justice League 2-Stupid yet likeable Superman clone Bizzaro who is created by Braniac begins to attack various places stealing weaponry and tech. Braniac finally reveals himself and his plan,revealing Doomsday was just a crash dummy used to weaken Superman and get his blood,so he could create a Superman under his control and for breeding. but it worked out better than he hoped with Superman dying too. Batman was afraid this would happen and thought he took precautions in cleanup.Justice League confront Bizzaro and are beaten.Bizzaro watches as Braniac begins to destroy the world,and has guilt. Fights Braniac who eventually gets the best of him .as he knows his weaknesses and limitations because he knows Superman so well. Braniac kills Bizzaro realizing he is a failed experiment and not as good as Superman at all. Justice League fights off Braniac who manages to escape and promises to return. In the end Braniac talks to Darkseid and tells him the Justice League is too much and he needs some reinforcements.

MOS 3-Braniac returns with more goons,greater technology destroying the world. He is too much for the Justice League this time. Superman wakes up in a space ship,next to the corpse of Doomsday. Bruce shot the bodies off into space so that experiments or cloning couldn't be done by humans to recreate either. Clark is able to escape containment as the ship is going into the sun(Batman didn't know the sun gave him strength,neither does Superman),Bruce was trying to destroy the bodies. Super powered,beard gang Superman returns stronger than ever,returns to earth and is drawn back to his home in Kansas,where his mother reveals his father is dead. Clark doesn't have an emotional response and seems tramatized and hardened,so his mother calls Lois letting her know Clark is back,but is thinking he is acting strange and may be another clone. Lois doesn't care if he's a clone and tells him to go help Justice League,he refuses. Eventually regains his conscience and full memory and has breakdown. Goes to help Justice League and it is revealed to him Braniac was the one who unleashed Doomsday,Clark blames Braniac for him not being there for his fathers death/funeral. Braniac tells him he should be more upset that he killed Supermans real daddy and mama and his whole planet:mjlol:.Superman goes ballistic and destroys Braniacs entire army,goons and Braniac himself.

Justice League 3-They face off against Darkseid who brings his henchman along with Supergirl who was given to him by Braniac at birth. Wonder Woman and Supergirl have an epic girlfight,she fights Justice League. Superman and Batman fight off Darkseid and his army. Superman finds out Supergirl is a Kryptonian and he reaches out to her and tells her what Braniac did. She joins the side of the Justice League and Justice League+Supergirl are able to kill Darkseid.



Superman could have easily put the league together by himself,just based off the fact everyone else respected him the most as a person,all of his power aside:martin:. Batman absolutely should NOT have been the one to put it together,he should almost be the last one who should put it together imo. I don't know how it went in the comics,but it seems out of character to go around asking for help from strangers doesn't it?

I would argue that Suicide Squad made as much money as it did because of word of mouth. People actually liked it despite how flawed it was.
It held the #1 spot for 3 weeks and was in the top 10 for 8 weeks off of some seriously savage critical reviews.
It was one of those movies where critical reviews didn't match up with audience response at all.

Before SS dropped, the hype was tremendous. Word of mouth definitely played a part in it.....leading up to it. Margot Robbie, Jared Leto's Joker had so much anticipation. You had Will Smith and Viola Davis in it.
That is the thing about the early DC movies. They did numbers. :ehh:

After seeing it, despite the love for Robbie's portrayal, most people thought it was trash.

And it was. :yeshrug:

There is a reason nobody is hyped for SS 2. If anything, people want MOS 2 and the stans want the JL Snyder cut.

Exactly,but you can't blame them for not understanding that until it didn't work. Plus you can't say "they didn't need to be like the Batman trilogy" in hindsight,and have it be true. They were coming off critical acclaim,as well as the fans loved those Batman movies. So its a good chance DC movies would have been compared to Batman movies,that was there brand. I think they gave fans a taste and fans have now realized we don't think that it works. They could have immediately went another direction,but the saying in Hollywood is if it ain't broke don't fix it.

They were probably just too ambitious in trying to build their own universe,Or at least the director or studio lacks the patience. MOS was great until they ttried to pigeonhole Lois in for no reason whatsoever,thats when the story goes to shyt,just to include her. Then you have them rushing to enter Batman,Wonder Woman and Aquaman into the mix smh. Don't get me started on Doomsday showing up by movie 2. They really put what could have been 5 or 6 movies and jammed it all into 3 films.

Its really too late to turn back,they gotta blow the whole thing up. They only holding on to this thing for Wonder Woman more than likely.

You can blame though.

That is the difference between DC films and MCU.

MCU understands it's characters. They don't try to make Captain America act like Iron Man in the movies. Look at the platform MCU gives Captain America and his movies and what they recently gave Black Panther. Iconic/important characters that you just can't give them lighter material like you would for Ragnarok, GOTG, or Ant-Man. They understand the characters and what they mean to people.

DC is the classic case of studio execs making decisions who have no clue about the genre or how things work. You need both skill sets. K-Fiege understands the movie business and he understands the genre. Studio heads just see what makes money. All they know is numbers. They see Marvel doing a billion on a movie, "let's do what Marvel's doing. In fact, we have Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. They don't. We might do two billion instead of one. :ooh: :mjlol: Let's bring in Whedon over here too, he did Ultron. He'll make JL funny just like Avengers,since people complain we're too serious. We are guaranteed to do at least a billion now".:mjlol:

If DC films just focused on what makes DC great and did them (like TV and Animation), they would be aight.
