Geoff Johns Now Executive Producer On Batman Vs. Superman; Nolan Out?

[BlvdBrawler]

Sounds good. Nolan doesn't need to have anything to do with this new DC Universe. This has nothing to do with the TDK trilogy.

Nolan and his "realism" can

Absolutely categorically agree. Nolan is average to me anyway.

For Nolan stans, yes, I "get" his style.

they really rushing that jl movie when they don't need to...they need to just do a proper sequel to mos....cause if these goes wrong, they gonna fukk up more then just the jl movie, they fukk up this superman franchise and the dc movie universe as a whole...meaning only batman and superman movies for awhile, again...

Rushing? This movie doesn't come out till 2016 and the only confirmed characters are Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman with Wonder Woman's part being a small one.
Captain America's sequel features a cast of thousands and nobody blinks an eye but this movie has people running around like the sky is falling at every rumor or fan theory despite not one frame of film having been shot.

yes rushing...i'm not talking about when the movie comes out, i'm talking about setting the proper foundation to get to that movie...they're 1 movie into their universe and already putting the jl on screen in the next movie for the most part...what the fukk?....that's fukking up...

comparing marvel to dc: DC has one movie so far in this movie universe, while marvel has how many?...that's why it's ok for marvel to throw however many in a sequel, they've established their universe...DC hasn't and for them to be trying to rush towards that jl movie to get some of that marvel money is fukking up...in fact, I don't think the mos sequel should be the next movie...they need to give some others some shine, not just a guest appearance in a superman movie...

the reason people(including myself) are acting like the sky is falling is cause if this movie bombs, that's a wrap for DC movies for awhile, not named batman...even superman would get a break, even though mos was a good movie...

Why do they have to follow the format that Marvel did to create their own universe? Just because it worked for Marvel that way doesn't mean DC has to do shyt that way. fukk it. Let em air it all the fukk out. It could be hot.

 

[gluvnast]

Nolan out? Nolan was never in for the sequel. He was barely involved with the first movie.

I didn't say they needed to follow marvel, but they need more than 1 movie to setup the jl...and i'm not saying they need origin films for each character, but damn, they need more than a superman movie....

Well the luxury that they have that marvel didn't have, is that their three biggest characters are rather ubiquitous with pop culture. They can do this movie showcasing Batman and Superman with other characters probably sprinkled throughout and it should work if done well because like you said, not all of them need an origin movie or even a big introduction to the main stage. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are pop culture staples and even though the movie was panned, Green Lantern got his intro only a few years ago. I like that they're doing their own thing as opposed to biting what Marvel is doing and hopefully it works out for them but I don't think they're rushing it at all

 

[ORDER_66]

This movie is gonna be a clusterfukk.... Ben Affleck as Batman?
Jesse Eisenberg asLex Luthor....???



I feel like that all the time when i think about it. Just WTF? MOS was on point, and they fukk up the seeds of the justice league movie with bullshyt casting? Y'all definitely not gonna make Avengers money now. I swear the first trailer better be god tier or I'mfukking Done with warner bros.

Again how is it rushing to include Batman as a co-star and Wonder Woman in a cameo. Regardless of the constant stream of stories coming out about this movie those are the only 3 heroes that have been confirmed to be in it. And those 3 happen to be 3 of the most well known characters in the history of comic books.
Everyone needs to stop expecting DC/WB to follow the Marvel blueprint. They are doing their own plan and considering no one will even see a trailer for this movie until probably late 2015 it us just ridiculous to be so fukking nitpicky and dramatic about whether it will feel a success or not.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

They're about to ruin the movie I never thought I would see

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Nolan probably read the script and was like

 

[Ukbrotha]

This is going to be a complete and utter shambles.

superman, batman, wonder woman, flash, cyborg...now with hints of green lantern....and dont forget supergirl from mos....you pretty much have the jl...

no one is saying they have to follow marvel, why do people keep saying that?...introducing characters before throwing them on the big screen isn't a marvel only thing...if DC was smart, they'd use the arrow and the new flash tv show to introduce characters, and have the movie and tv show universes intertwine...that would be smart and an inexpensive way to accomplish that...

the only reason I care is cause i'm a comic fan...I want to see jl, flash, spectre, ww, gl, etc. movies....if they fukk up this movie, those movies might not happen....and all we'll get from DC is more batman movies....that's why I think they should take their time, and put out a proper sequel to mos, and not some meshed together bullshyt just to get that money...the money will be there and come in, if the product is good....

...you right, we haven't seen shyt from the movie yet, so all we can do is wait, but with the casting and news of plot/script changes to make it more jl like instead of a true mos sequel, shyt aint looking good...

You start off wrong by basing all of your angst on rumors. The only facts about this movie is that it will have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Alfred and Lex Luthor in it. The script was written by Goyer and it is getting a re-write by the dude who wrote Argo and re-writes on scripts is not a sign of a problem, every script goes through re-writes. Snyder is directing and Geoff Johns is an exec producer.
All that stuff about Cyborg, Green Lantern and whatnot is rumor and speculation.
And the reason people keep saying that "WB doesn't gave to follow Marvel" is because these threads always boil down to somebody saying that introducing characters in a sequel us wrong and every JL member should have their own morgue first which is the Marvel model.

For those keeping score, Nolan distancing himself is 100 times worse of a sign than casting Affleck, Eiseneberg or any other news so far.
