It's very perplexing how they're pretending they could do a Black Adam movie aa if he's completely unrelated to Shazam.

legends has defied the odds in every way since its second season. scrappiest bunch of underdogs on tv, and the best show in the arrowverse by a mile. my soul is warmed by the fact they have lasted anywhere near as long as they have

definitely sad at routh's departure though, he's one of an ever-diminishing number of OG legends, firstly, and he is also the golden heart of the show in more ways than one

The more I read about James Tynion's upcoming run on Batman the more I am looking forward to it.


Quote:


The writer describes Batman going forward as an "action horror superhero comic book," where the villains will be frightening - as will Batman.


"The villains of Gotham fear him, and he is going to take that fear and wield it like a weapon to get his city back under control," writes Tynion. "Batman doesn’t just show up in broad daylight to scare his villains, he uses tricks and shadows, and voice modulation to make it seem like he can be anywhere and everywhere at once."


"To the bad guys, Batman is like Michael Myers," Tynion writes, referring to the Halloween villain. "He keeps getting up when it shouldn’t be possible to get up anymore. How can you win against him? You’d have to be crazy to try."


"He has just faced tremendous failure in the last year of story," Tynion wrote, referring to the current "City of Bane" arc. "He lost his City, and lost his way… But now that he’s back, he has an almost manic intensity. He is going to fix things. He’s going to make it so nobody like Bane can ever do this to the city again.


"With Selina on his arm, the 'Playboy' Bruce is dead," Tynion continues. "Every waking minute is dedicated to the rebuild of Gotham City, both as Bruce Wayne and as Batman. He is in control of every room he enters, and people are a little frightened of him.


https://www.newsarama.com/47978-tyni...tham-city.html
Plus Tony Daniel is one of my favorite Bat artists so I am really glad he is back on the main Bat book.

Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One:

SPOILER: show
- Chuckled at Burt Ward's cameo appearance

- Was hoping that Jonathan would be "aged up" somehow for the upcoming Superman & Lois show, and it would be more based on Peter Tomasi's excellent Superman DC Rebirth run that Bendis destroyed

- Like the quantum tower and shadows

- Did not expect Oliver to die in the very first episode.... have a feeling maybe he is not actually gone... or that Old Man Ollie might come back

- Supergirl's world destroyed... wonder if this will stick and she'll be on Earth-1 now, probably everything changes by the end

Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Two:

SPOILER: show
- Tom Welling's cameo was "underwhelming" and have feeling a lot of people will complain about it, but whatever. I wonder if at the end of the sequel comics he gave up his powers, I never actually read through them all. Seems "weird" that Lex would see him as Clark Kent but for some reason not think it possible that he is Clark Kent on his own world....

- Marked out for Kevin Conroy, and the perfect way they introduced him via just using his voice first. His story was also good, and a lot of the lines from Dark Knight Returns.

- Marked the F out for Brandon Routh Superman, and the return of the John Williams Superman theme. That costume is dope as F.

- "Weird" at not just using the Earth-1 Mick Rory and using an alternate universe one instead.....

It was all pretty good and enjoyed how the fooled us a little on who these characters were and were not. I would really like to see them go through with the Crisis 7 homage and do some manner of Reign of Supergirl stuff intermingled with the leviathan stuff.

Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three:

SPOILER: show
- Holy s*** I marked hard at Lucifer appearing

- Haven't watched Black Lightning since season 1.... not because I wasn't enjoying it, but just because there is so much tv..... but it was good to see him

- Green Arrow gonna become The Spectre? I mean, I guess it makes more sense than Green Lantern becoming The Spectre, because he still has a thing for green hoods. Wonder what happens with Ollie's soulless body, though.

- Supergirl continuing to not try to save anybody, but spends the entire episode staring at the book deciding whether or not to use it.....

- Not sure what to think about Ryan Choi yet, especially if the plan is for him to replace Ray on Legends.

- DAMN @ Routh Superman being taken out of the picture.... want more from him. I honestly worry about the Superman and Lois show now, because standing next to Routh as Superman, the other dude looks bush league.

- DAMN @ having to wait until January for the rest

Thought this was supposed to be a DC Universe show not another CW show.... I really hope it is good, because I love the JSA/Stargirl. At the very least the costume is better than the other two live-action portrayals.

Just read Doomsday Clock #12.... marked out for the Justice Society being back, and seeming very similar to pre-Flashpoint... even Maxine Hunkle was there.

Dunno why they randomly replaced Dr. Mid-Nite with a chick, though..... I liked Pieter Cross a lot....
They also brought back the female Wildcat.... so wonder if this new Dr. Mid-Nite is supposed to be Beth Chapel or not....


Happy to see that they brought Superman's parents back from the dead.... always liked them alive more than dead.... Though Bendis is probably just gonna kill them off again....

Kimberli 12-30-2019 12:43 PM

Here's what's interesting: David Goyer and Justin Marks are planning a superhero movie which is the starting point. This is the movie in which the villains From the district of Columbia are sitting in a maximum security prison. Oliver was condemned and thrown into a space that helps people. Can we hope that Slade will appear? I like the idea of someone doing something from comic book characters book of ra gratuit 
 after a train of superheroes. Cartoons are often the focus of absurd situations that usually do not see the light of actual action. this project will interest filmmakers that superheroes are more than a story that follows the original story

DC has announced the sequel to Dark Knights: METAL and revealed the cover of issue 1:


DARK KNIGHTS: DEATH METAL


https://i.postimg.cc/6pkyVWKs/DC-Com...lo-Variant.jpg

Quote:


The Earth has been consumed by Dark Multiverse energy, having been conquered by the Batman Who Laughs and his evil lieutenants, corrupted versions of Shazam, Donna Troy, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Hawkman, and Commissioner Jim Gordon. Some heroes, like Wonder Woman and the Flash, have made compromises as they negotiate to keep humanity alive in this hell-born landscape. Others, like Batman, are part of an underground resistance looking to take back control of their world. Superman is imprisoned, cursed to literally power Earth’s sun for eternity.

But a mysterious figure provides Wonder Woman with vital information she might be able to use to rally Earth’s remaining heroes to resist the Batman Who Laughs. Can the Justice League break away from the Dark Multiverse and defeat Perpetua, the evil mother of the DC Multiverse?

Issues 1, 2, 3 drop in May, June, July and Issues 4, 5, 6 drop in September, October, November. This one changes everything, not a cliche, a guarantee.


This is the event that is expected to lead into DC's much mentioned 5G era (fifth generation era) of superheroes, with all the DC major heroes aging and being replaced by newer and younger characters. The rumored list is below in spoilers if you haven't seen it.

SPOILER: show


Luke Fox - Batman
Adult Jonathan Kent - Superman
New WW
New GL
New Aquaman
New Flash

and so forth...


These changes have been rumored to come from Warner Bros, who said DC Comics major characters are not diverse enough, too male and too white.

To appease older fans DC expects to write non-canon stories starring the traditionally known characters for their Black Label line, per BleedingCool.

slik 02-14-2020 01:17 AM

Green Lantern Season Two has been changed from 12 issues to 8 issues as DC needs Grant to end his story in 2020 because they have 'other plans' in 2021.

DC has also announced it will begin publishing GENERATION books to reveal the secret history of the DC Universe that is leading to biggest change to come.

  • What was the previously undocumented “big bang” of the Age of Mysteries?
  • Which character truly ushers in the dawn of Super Heroes, inspiring all the rest?
  • What was the real reason behind the Justice Society of America’s retirement?
  • Which Golden Age hero will become history’s greatest villain?
  • What contentious alliance kept the Wayne family dynasty alive after Thomas and Martha’s deaths?
  • Who are the new, never-seen-before wildcards that will be instrumental in fashioning DC’s push to the future?


The books will be:


Generation One: Age Of Mysteries

Generation Two: Age of the Metahuman

Generation Three: Age of Crisis

Generation Four: Age of Rebirth

Generation Five: Age of Tomorrow

Hence the complete reboot. Aquaman, coming off the stench of Justice League, did pretty well.

The director has a strong track record. Pattinson has come a very long way from his Twilight days, the last of which will have came out 9 years before this movie is released.

Michael Keaton was the absolute last choice for his Batman film. Turned out just fine. If the film is good, people will go see it. Batman still sells.

Bleeding Cool has more on Didio leaving - he was fired


https://www.bleedingcool.com/2020/02...ave-dc-comics/


Quote:


Bleeding Cool now understands that yes, DiDio was fired this morning by Warner Bros at 10.30am PT in their Burbank offices and he left the building straight away. I am told by sources close to the situation that he was fired, for cause, for 'fostering a poor work environment' – as evidenced by significant departures at the publisher by editors. Dan DiDio has a reputation of being a micro-manager from some, for being very involved in projects from others. And DC Comics was heading towards a big change in its publishing programme – one aspect of which was the much-rumoured 5G – or Generation Five. Which would have seen DC's major figures Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Diana and more aged out and replaced with new characters taking the roles of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman as part of the new DC Timeline. And some folk at DC Comics were very much against this. But opposition never worried Dan, after all he was at constant odds with the direction the company line was pushed for pretty much his entire career as Publisher, and was always was striving to put comics first, as he saw it.


But in recent months, there seemed to be editorial backtracks on the direction given, details changes and a general sense of frustration that the clock was ticking and that nothing was being done. We saw a rapid departure in DC editorial of Pat McCallum, Alex Antone, Molly Mahan, Rob Levin and others. Certainly, DiDio's departure was a surprise – to him as it was everyone else. I understand that it was internally announced at a series of small staff meetings at Burbank today.


Jim Lee is the remaining Publisher and CCO at DC, and so will be steering the ship for the foreseeable future.


There was a lot of discussion amongst retailers about DiDio's firing, with comic book writer Scott Snyder's name being mentioned a lot as a factor. Internally at DC Comics, Snyder was seen as someone opposed to what was being planned with 5G, and thought it could harm retailers. Snyder and DiDio were not eye-to-eye creatively, but I understand that Snyder merely wanted to keep his upcoming Death Metal comic book as far away from 5G/Generation Five as possible, intending to use the series to celebrate DC's 85 years to date, rather than anything forward-looking. This frustrated DiDio's plans to introduce 5G with Death Metal. And as a result, mentions of Death Metal were taken out of the planned Generation Zero: Gods Among Us story for Free Comic Book Day.


It is now possible that DC's Free Comic Book Day offering may change again as a result, even though it is up for FOC this weekend. But all this is being worked out in real-time this weekend at Burbank. As of now? According to people working on it, 5G is still launching in October. In what shape or form, I haven't a clue.

Yeah, all those who have been petitioning for it for 2 years are just gonna end up going "Oh yeah..... Zack Snyder..... now I remember" and like the theatrical cut more.

Destor 05-20-2020 09:51 PM

Its like...you saw the films he made yeah? You realize that the version we got was 85% his...right?

Seanny One Ball 05-20-2020 10:59 PM

In retrospect it should really have been The Flash beating up Wonder Woman.


Seanny One Ball 05-20-2020 11:00 PM

I wonder what the missing 15% will be filled with.
Probably more stuff that DC heroes shouldn't be doing anyway, almost certainly something that will ruin another memory.

Lock Jaw 05-20-2020 11:15 PM

I'm one of the few who liked Justice League as it was..... Certainly wasn't the best and nowhere near what a Justice League movie could be.... but I liked it.

I think others are just holding out hope that the 15% will make them like it. Then be angry when it doesn't.

I gave Justice League 2.5/4 which was pretty generous in retrospect. I have seen it twice since then and it's probably more of a 2/4 film.

Zach Snyder seems to be trying to destroy Superman for everybody.

Lock Jaw 05-22-2020 02:36 PM

I seem to have rated it an 8/10 at the time. Would probably go a bit lower now.

But I did actually enjoy it. Not great, and nowhere near what a Justice League movie could be or should be..... but many a Marvel movie that I would rewatch Justice League over rewatching them.

Lock Jaw 05-22-2020 02:37 PM

Read a thing the other day that the Justice Society is gonna be in the Black Adam movie, and depending on how well Black Adam does, they are "keeping in mind" the option of a future JSA movie (nothing in development, just that they are open to it).

Seanny One Ball 05-22-2020 03:05 PM

I put all of my eggs in the Shazam basket and I regret nothing.

Though Aquaman really was a good film. It has a few runtime issues but it's up there, easily the best besides Shazam.

Seanny One Ball 05-22-2020 03:07 PM

I think The Rock playing heel again will be a real treat. I'm looking forward to it.

Lock Jaw 05-22-2020 04:11 PM

Aquaman I'd put up there as one of the best modern superhero movies....

slik 05-22-2020 04:21 PM

I also liked Shazam and Aquaman


I've always been a Shazam Fan in general

slik 05-22-2020 04:21 PM

This is a good Shazam series, you can read it online free here...

Imagine being the studio head that thought "I'm giving Aquaman to horror auteur James Wan" just before he made them a billion dollars.

The balls!

Destor 05-23-2020 01:28 AM

I gave JL a 6/10 and i was def right

Seanny One Ball 05-23-2020 01:49 AM

3/5 shows benefit of the doubt, which is fair.
I think it was fair +

Lock Jaw 06-09-2020 12:49 AM

Haven't finished the last season of The Flash, but the actor who plays Elongated Man has been fired from the show for some racist misogynistic tweets he made in the past or something.....

Kalyx triaD 06-09-2020 11:10 AM

HBO's going balls deep in Snyder's DC universe. Things about to be complicated.

drave 06-10-2020 09:08 AM

As things do when one goes balls deep into them.

i read them. Tame is an understatement

Sounds like the issue of Batman w/ Punchline (Joker's new girlfriend) has been selling extremely well, might be the most bought issue of Batman in a long time

DC canned it's long-time relationship w/ Diamond, who distributed all of DC and Marvel comics. They are using two smaller publishing houses now. A lot of people wondering if this will hurt or help comic book shops, because they will have to pay more money on shipping now to get comics in, especially outside the U.S.

slik 06-10-2020 04:26 PM

bleedingcool.com reporting all previous plans, like the big 5G "age out all the heroes" stuff is off the table permanently now that Didio is out.


Bleedingcool hinting DC is looking to get away from monthly printed comics in the next several years because ATT/WarnerMedia see the fast turn around time for printing, rushed editing and it just doesn't make sense in 2020 financially....Said in the next few years expect DC to shift more towards Original Graphic Novels, especially geared towards teens, as recent OGNs have sold really, really well (slik note: I liked the Catwoman one, "Under The Moon") and there is no rush to get them to press. They also won't have to worry about continuity, as all OGNs take place in their own, contained universe. DC recently signed a big deal with book publishing magnate Penguin Books, who will help market and distribute all future OGNs. Moving away gradually from monthly comics is rumored to be part of the reason they canned Diamond as well.


BleedingCool.com speculates if monthly comics exist in a few years, it will be less titles and likely all digital release only.

To give you an idea of what that future might look like....Here all the recent original graphic novels DC has done so far (the art in the Dick Grayson one was cool)
