the thing that confuses me is- why dont they make bale and routh batman and superman in jla? its what the fans want. and if they dont, then they should use the same actors they used for al the other individual films (like flash) and replace routh and bale with GREAT actors in the jla film.

im hoping this will happen but its too good to happen and for me to believe in

thanx for clearing that up btw

Another benefit of the DC Studios would be not only seeing big name superheroes like WW, Flash and Green Lantern, but also many of the fantastic Vertigo stories as well.

” How do you make a guy who talks to fish and swims allot look bad ass” Answer: DC can’t, but Marvel can. With Namor. Consider: Namor is a bad ass, and he is bared chested as opposed to Aquaman’s Orange duds.

Okay, onto the meat n’ potatoes.

DC is in a bit of a crunch because WB owned them. That’s hard to escape. However, I think it is idiotic of the in’l friends jump on WB for dismissing big budget tags for smaller ones- specifically the sequel to Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants which, by the way, was a good, inexpensive, well acted film for a chick flick and you should all kick yourselves for saying WB are idiots for having a variety of films on their roster. When you folks talk about “slice of the pie” taken up by Sisterhood 2—I question the logic. Unless of course, you would not mind having a Flash movie for “Sisterhood 2″’s budget.

You want it? Let’s say…you get it! Then what?
Then all the pissy hissy fanboys will question WB for not having a budget over 40 million, including distribution and marketing., that’s what I’m not defending the Sisterhood sequel nor dismissing it, but my points here are:

*the first film made some money

*it has an audience (mostly chicks, but an audience)

*the sequel has been made-with most of the returning cast three years later- with around the same production cost. (25-35 mil)

But most importantly -and this is my major beef with the int’l friends-
this film in WB’s lineup has little, if anything to with, Flash, Lantern or Wonder Woman being greenlit or not.

Let’s look at Speed Racer. Yes, this film got a flat. But I can understand “the attempt”, and y’know something? Given the track record of the talent behind it, I can see why it was Greenlit. Don’t forget, folks, Speed Racer was in development hell for a little over a decade! Since Joel Silver (sorry, Rod, gotta bring this up) also was producing “Speed Racer” at the time Joss Whedon was on and off on Wonder Woman, the idea that a ‘WW’ movie should have been made instead of Speed Racer is pure nuts. You or I can only say that in retrospect…but not in hindsight.

As for Whedon’s script being rejected by WB in favor of other films (but one), int’l friends….is horseshit. I may think Whedon is overpraised at times, but seeing how Whedon himself said he had a tough time writing it to do the character justice – it had *zero* to do whether WB execs liked it or not. In any case, the *only* film that would have “taken up the pie” was the ill fated “Justice League”. (and again, it would NOT have effected ‘Sisterhood’ or ‘Speed Racer’)

*****
I do think it would be a good idea for DC to split off from WB with the exception of Supes and Batman. I think it would be wise to license characters for other studios, or become a ’studio’ themselves and rely on other studios for distribution. Either that, or focus more on the Vertigo line like they have done in recent times.

Like I said a few days ago in the comments section of “5 leser known Comics characters”….WB/DC…mark me/

Enemy Ace.
Just…think it over. Or get Sgt. Rock rollin’ like we were teased the other day.

DC is owned by WB. If they created a subcompany called DC films it would not exclude them from using the same actors and properties because they would still own them.

Im not suggesting that DC separate from WB, but that WB makes an imprint company that can dedicate its time to DC films.

on the other hand:
if they do do this and they make a greenlantern, flash, aquaman and wonderwoman films with GOOD ACTORS not fucking meyers from hellboy or some kid from high school musical- then it will be awsome and it will get loads of money. and theyd have to use the same actors from batman and superman

we all know this wont happen. and if it does itll be in a long time.
