Eivion Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 My Lobo experience is pretty much animated tv and the current JLA comic. I dug hum back in Superman TAS, and I like him in JLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 At this point I'm really wondering why they haven't tapped *anyone* that put Crisis on Earth-X together to direct something, since that whole Berlanti-verse has DC nailed and smokes everything the big "name" directors have produced, and I've actually *liked* the DC Movies thus far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Finally got around to Justice League tonight. You know what? It was fine. Nothing special, but better than MoS and way the fuck better than BvS. Steppenwolf was pretty worthless, but not any moreso than, like, half of the villains from the last decade of comic book movies. Edit: Also, this is out there now. I really hope they didn't actually fire a man while he kept working on a movie after the death of his child. That's a whole new level of cruel.

That's a whole new level of cruel. Probably not. The news he reported then was more or less said in 2016 after BvS' failure and Johns' rose in position. We pretty much knew a year and half ago JL was going to be Snyder's last DC film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yeah, there was no way there was going to be a graceful transition from Snyder's vision because they went into production on JL a week or two after BvS was released. The reshoots and post production cuts were just compounded by Snyder's personal loss and absence. I don't think they seized on the opportunity of him having to take a sabbatical to get rid of him.

I think I must not have been reading DC at the right age to develop those nostalgia muscles. Whenever he shows up now, I know I am supposed to think he's just as cool as Wolverine. Oh, well. The problem with Lobo is that he's at best a foil for others, at worst a dumb joke about 'kewl' characters, but he grew enough unironic fandom that he had to be treated seriously. As someone for Superman or Adam Strange or Vril Dox to butt heads with, he's fucking awesome. As the hero of the story he makes me want to break things. With the right script I could actually see Bay making a really fun movie where Lobo gets lots of great lines and kills but still is the butt of the jokes...but I have no faith in WB and Bay to put together that kind of project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Lobo can kindly go fuck himself. You want a good movie based around goofy characters, THESE are the DC members you call: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Well, THIS bodes ill. Joss Whedon has dropped out of Batgirl, and says "it took me months to realize I really didn't have a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I assume for now that sidelines Babs completely, because the reports were they were only doing it because Whedon wanted to. He's co-writing the next Buffy season/series, and still has that "female Victorian Batman" comic they announced like two years ago. Dr. Horrible 2 is always a possibility. There was that project he was supposed to do with Warren Ellis God knows how long ago now. I can't imagine he wouldn't be able to get something off the ground with Hulu/Netflix/Prime if he wanted to. Or hell Warner might want to redirect him into something else DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 For some reason I can only imagine a Whedon/Ellis collab bringing out the worst in both. I'm faithless I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It was supposed to be some apocalyptic web series (after Dr Horrible) that Whedon called really dark and Ellis called darkly comedic so right there you see the differences.

(BP) Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You would think writers didn't do it at least twelve times a year for decades. I'm guessing it's a mixture of WB probably deciding a female writer/director was better, Whedon cutting his losses and getting out of DC movie productions in a self effacing way, and his awareness that scrutiny about him maybe not being such a great feminist would increase again.

Brian Fowler Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 So former Black Panther: World of Wakanda writer Roxanne Gay tweeted about being interested in writing Batgirl. WB VP Michelle Williams responded with contact request. So this might really be happening based off a tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 She has no experience writing for movies or TV that I can find, so I don't really like her odds of getting handed the keys to a big franchise title. My guess is this movie just kinda fades away and never happens. I mean, I'm pretty sure the only reason it was happening to begin with is because they offered Joss whatever he wanted to help out with JL and he thought 5 seconds and said, BATGIRL.
