Caption This: Win Uwe Boll’s Far Cry on DVD!
get someone more appropriate for the role. More dumb junk from the dead entertainment
industry that no one but fraud marketers watches anymore. :(
Marvel is doing it the smart way, giving a proper movie treatment for Captain America, introducing the mainstream audiences to lesser known Marvel characters like Iron Man, Ant Man and their version of Thor before doing an Avengers movie. That way, fans of the individual movies will go see the Avenger movies. Plus they can introduce some of the female Anvengers in the ensemble movie.
WB has never had it together when it came to properly utilizing the DC Universe in theatrical form and it is truly sad. I say ditch this stupid JLA movie, cast Megan Gale as Wonder Woman and focus on getting that character the proper movie treatment before any ensemble comic movies do lasting damage to DC characters that non-comic fans have no clue about.
The Justice League thing has been a Charlie Foxtrot from the beginning, especially considering the story concept they were towing around - the worst part being the absence of Batman and Superman from the team.
But...doing a Marvel-style revamp has got to be a bit of a blow to their egos. It's working well for Marvel, but whether WB/DC should follow suit is still pretty questionable to me. The first step is for WB to stop looking at DC properties as cartoonish, comic book movies and begin seeing them as dramas that happen to involve extraordinary people with extraordinary backgrounds.
Perhaps TDK will help them see the light of that. Or maybe the best idea is to ditch origin stories altogether. It's easy to create a character that doesn't have an origin - movies do it all the time - why filmmakers insist on it for comic book films is beyond me. A little air of mystery is never a bad thing. Especially if your origin is so fantastical that you have no choice but to make the rest of the story so utterly cheesy that it tanks.
Give us a real person inside the suit, and we'll keep paying the box office.
WB should also turn the Wonder Woman movie over to the Wachowskis.
Being:
Superman - Brandon Routh: Same suit, different attitude... not so quite
Batman - Christian Bale: Shouldn't put on tites until the second installment
Wonder Woman - Megan Gale: a foreigner would really help wiith the idea that shes not from here and she's tall/ minus the stupid "stars" costume
Flash - (Ryan Reynolds maybe): I can't think of anyone else
Green Lantern - Taye Diggs: A dramatic not overly popular actor, but good enough to have presents
Martian Manhunter - Hank Azaria: A versatile voice actor, and a forehead! important
Hawk (Girl) - Jessica Biel: I could dream about her in wings
Cat woman was a bad idea, she was a customized character for Halle Berry, which is why the movie has to stand alone. But she should have be Vixen... a slightly lesser known JLA member.
Oh, and FF Rocked! and Will Rock!! FOREVER!!!
Marvel is a comic book company so they get their business handled
DC used to be a comic book company now it is just a small part of some sort of entertainment machine with other priorities.
If DC wants to compete on the big screen they need their autonomy again. it's not likely to happen so I am betting that eventually DC gets replaced as the other comic super-power by someone like topcow or image et.al.
Superman: Brandon Routh (same costume)
Batman: Some Other 35er & Up. (cant fuck up Batman)
Wonder Woman: Megan Gale (I guess?)
Green Lantern: Common (hes the best I can think of or heard)
Flash: That weiner from the OC/Thank You For Smoking, the Assistant to Rob Lowe (even
make a good Peter Parker. And I know he wants that. Hed be great.
Martian Manhunter?: Actually Hank Azaria isnt that bad...Plus hes fucking JACKED. It
really could be anyone.
Hawk?: Um last I heard not even being casted. This has been going on for over a year.
