Brian Fowler Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 4:3 works for certain things. It can give a movie a nice claustrophobic atmosphere. It can contain the action in a uniquely limited scope. On paper, it's a really weird choice for a big superhero epic. Usually you go wider for action movies. But nobody has ever accused Zack Snyder of not being able to make striking visuals. He has zero understanding of any of the major DC characters he's put on screen, and his original stories have been... Incoherent. (I say that as someone that loved Sucker Punch, fwiw) Four hours... That's a tough sell. Endgame was way too fucking long and still a lot shorter than this. The single strongest point the 2017 release had was it was only two hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'd like to see every reference worldwide to "The Snyder Cut" replaced with "the snuff film", since it adequately describes my interest in watching either, as well as my opinion of the people who won't stop talking about Zack Snyder.

Hey here's Flash who we have never met.. now care about him. Hey here's Cyborg who we have never met.... now care about him. Hey here's some mother boxes wtf are those? ... now care about them. The only way it can even begin to be coherent is if all of this is explained and that's what's happening from the looks of it. More Cyborg backstory. More Flash backstory, the vision that Batman has that leads to him needing to put these superheroes together.. Superman dying which leads to the invasion.. Snyder was tasked with placing Batman into the existing world and then doing a two part Justice League movie with only a Wonder Woman movie preceding them. How do you do a JL movie when Cyborg and Flash don't have proper origin stories, you have to give them that background here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) 19 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: 4 hours is split into 4 chapters Are you sure about that? I know that was talked about at one point. But I'm fairly sure they had to stick to a single 4 hour feature due to the contracts of the actors. Something about repurposing the original movie into an episodic format would trigger all of the actors needing to be paid a second time. So they had to scrap that idea and just keep a 4 hour presentation with no chapters or segment separations.

Deborah Snyder said last week that it will be 4 chapters/4 title cards so you can stop after each or watch through. Maybe like the Hateful Eight.

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Manuel Soto (Charm City Kings) has been given the directing reins of Blue Beetle. It's billed as the first Latinx superhero, so I'm going to guess it's Jaime and not Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 OK, well that's interesting. I really liked TNC's run on Black Panther and I'm guessing he's got some things to say about Superman. Not too jazzed about the Abrams part, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Look, there hasn't been a good god damned Superman movie in 40 years. I don't care if there are lens flares or whatever, I just want a good Superman story on the screen. Start with A Superman For All Seasons or For the Superman Who Has Everything and go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Relax yall. JJ is only producing. Do you know how many things Bad Robot produces? Coates is a super interesting choice for writer that gives me hope. Now it all comes down to who is directing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you are just talking theaters then I can concur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 And per Hollywood Reporter - Warner Brothers "intends" for Superman to be black in this new movie Aka - they are doing Calvin Ellis AND AND - they are tying into something from awhile ago that their first choice is Michael B Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
