TheVileOne Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Superman Returns got better reviews than Man of Steel and is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics generally liked Superman Returns.
The Unholy Dragon Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Fair. I forgot that. But the audience rating is mild and response at the time wasn't great. Also it flopped...ish. Did $391 mil worldwide...against a $270 million budget. So what would have been a solid performance at a $100 mil budget was a huge money loss. The point is that Returns didn't land the way they wanted and killed the franchise in a similar way Batman and Robin did, creating the opening for Snyder to do what he wanted with MoS as long as it was grimdark and navel gazey because that's all they got out of why Nolan's Batman films succeeded.
Buy Me a Burrito Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Because Snyder is a lousy filmmaker.
EVA Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Part of me wonders if Affleck wants out of Batman just so he doesn't have to deal with Leto's bullshit. 1
Ligerbusa Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Matt Reeves is back in as director and producer of The Batman. 1

Bustronaut Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I'll believe it when that Titans show premieres on TBS
Brian Fowler Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 The DCEU has been so bad I'm not even excited for a Nightwing movie. That shouldn't be possible. 3

The Natural Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 To DCEU heads, First: Please make the DCEU better. Read how Grant Morrison and Scott Snyder write Dick Grayson. No New 52 red and black suit. Thanks, The Natural.
The Unholy Dragon Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Here's the thing: If Nightwing can keep its director and remember why they hired him? It'll be great I think. There's really no reason the DCEU can't produce popup hits as even if you hated all three films so far, they at least had different flaws. Man of Steel was too mopey, BvS was too slow, Suicide Squad lacked narrative depth. In hindsight BvS would have been much improved by more of MoS's big action. I've enjoyed all three a lot with criticisms though, so maybe I'm the wrong judge. 1
(BP) Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 A DCEU meeting right now: "Any progress on the Nightwing screenplay?" "We've got some real pearls so far. For instance, have you ever noticed that Dick is also a euphemism for a penis?" 1

Eivion Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I feel like Feige laughing his ass any time Inhumans is mentioned is more likely. That or rage at Perlmutter and co. fucking up the Inhumans for him. 1

It's a fair question. Interviews from other Suicide Squad actors alluded to Leto being a pain to deal with. Why not avoid the drama when you have other options. 1
Raziel Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Well, Affleck tweeted a welcome to Reeves, so it's not likely he's leaving.
Eivion Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 9 hours ago, TheVileOne said: Why would there be rage for that? Not outside the realm of possibility that he likes the Inhumans.
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 DCEU is SAVED... until the next story breaks. I've stopped following the news. I don't give a shit anymore until maybe a trailer drops, if that. I've focused my attention on the upcoming Infinity films and meanwhile, if DC gets their shit together, cool. If not, maybe I'll be around in the next decade when they start over. 1
Brian Fowler Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Academy Award Winning Suicide Squad Yeah that's not weird 4
odessasteps Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Plenty of crappy movies have won fx oscars, so not as odd as could be. 1
