WELCOME TO THE MARVEL MULTIVERSE -*RIP STAN LEE & Boseman* - Agatha All Along new ep every Wednesday

Just can't help but take shots at DC every chance you guys get.

:rollin
It's kinda hard not to. They have the rights to every single super hero in their arsenal and have done diddly sh** with them. Yeah theyare coming along now, but they could have done the justice League a very long time ago. I have always been a fan of both marvel and dc but marvel is the sexier choice these days.
 
I'm interested in how Vision and Scarlet Witch's love story will play out on screen
 
SW fell in love with an android? Does Vision fit under the category of an android? Even artificial beings can appreciate Elizabeth Olsen's chest. [emoji]128526[/emoji]
 
I was wondering how they would handle Quicksilver's speed effect onscreen and I liked what I saw in Winter Soldier. I can't wait to see what eye candy they pull off when he actually has space to run.
 
^^Yea, Vision is in the film. Voiced by Paul Bettany, same guy who voices Jarvis.

Do your research, Batman/Superman film was in the works in 2002 and just went no where and eventually became Batman Begins. Hell before Batman Begins they had countless writers and script including one from Aronosfsky before eventually falling to Nolan. JLU was set to go, Common confirmed being hired already but the writers strike killed it's momentum and the executives decided not to go with it. There have been a handful of failed WW tv pilots and Whedon even had a WW script that went nowhere.

It's not that DC doesn't try, they just aren't very good with it and they were very picky with what to go with. Hell now that DC is moving along people are saying they are rushing it and playing catch up, which I could see where they are coming from. GL failed but that was suppose to do what MoS did, open up the world and kick start everything.

The thing is, everyone thinks it's real easy to make these movies but I feel that Marvel gets it right because the movies are made by Marvel themselves and they may not have to run through much bureaucratic crap with studios and executives and approval and such. That is a guess but DC has to deal with WB and what the executives might be good but they aren't comic book fans. Same with Fox and Sony though Sony really only made one really terrible SM film (SM3). I think over at Marvel, they could do what they want as fans, they do what films they want and then look for a distributor but their work and concept is still from comic book fans and writers. Even after Disney bought them, they probably just let them have reigns anyways because they've been doing so great. Sure they'd force Feige and the directors to add advertising in the films but overall they let them do what they want.

It's more complicated than that but I think that is how I guess Marvel gets it right almost all the time.
 
Was just talking about this here and these released...

Behind the scene pic of George Miller's Justice League: Mortal failed film.

As far I believe, these images posted by Hollywood stuntman and fight choreographer, Greg Van Borssum, are the first behind-the-scenes look at George Miller's Justice League: Mortal cast. You can see: Armie Hammer ("The Lone Ranger") who would've played Batman, Adam Brody ("The O.C.") who would've been The Flash, D.J. Cotrona ("G.I. Joe: Retaliation") who would've played Superman, Megan Gale ("Project Runway Australia") who would've played Wonder Woman, Santiago Cabrera ("Heroes") who would've played Aquaman, Hugh Keays-Byrne ("Mad Max: Fury Road") who would've played The Martian Manhunter, Teresa Palmer ("The Grudge 2") who would've played Talia Al Ghul and Jay Baruchel ("Goon") who would've played Maxwell Lord. Only main cast members not included in the images below are Common (John Stewart), Anton Yelchin (Wally West), Zoe Kazan (Iris West) and Stephen Tobolowsky (Alfred Pennyworth).

In February of 2007, Warner Bros. hired Keiran and Michelle Mulroney to write a script for a Justice League movie. This caught many observers by surprise as WB had just released Bryan Singer's Superman Returns the year before, and Chris Nolan was just beginning production of The Dark Knight. Leaving many fans wondering if Brandon Routh or Christian Bale was part of the equation. In September of 2007, George Miller ("Mad Max") came on board as director and would later confirmed that his film would feature new interpretations of Superman and Batman.

Warner Bros. fast tracked the film in hopes of avoiding the Writers Guild of America strike, and scheduled the film to begin filming in February 2008 in Australia. This is when the perfect storm happened. Recently-elected prime minister, Kevin Rudd, changed the tax rebate incentive program and then the writer's strike took place. With an estimated budget well over $200 million, and with no ability to make changes to the script, due to the strike, Warner Bros. had to pull the plug on the project. It also didn't help that fan backlash to the film was incredibly high, so anticipation for it was lukewarm at best.


View media item 903525From the bottom- director George Miller, Jay Baruchel (Maxwell Lord), Hugh Keays-Byrne (Martian Manhunter). Next row- Santiago Cabrera (Aquaman), Adam Brody (The Flash), Teresa Palmer (Talia al Ghul), stuntman Greg Van Borssum, and producer Barrie Osborne(Lord of the Rings). Armie Hammer (Batman) is at the very back and D.J. Cotrona (Superman) directly in front of him.
 
since xmen and avengers are part of the same marvel universe (comic book wise), would this DOFP promo be xmen's version of ultron? seems to cover many of the same themes, public safety, big brother watching, giant robot, ect.. sorry if its already been answered in this thread

 
There are overlaps but Sentinels are mainly for eliminating mutants while Ultron kind of want to rule the world or just pretty much stick it up his creator (Hank Pym) as much as he can.
 
and also

Also eliminate all humans and some times all non robotic life in the universe.

Dc/eb has always owned all the rights to there comic book heros. That's all I am trying to say they have always had all the parts along with a filming studio. Yes dc is rushing they are playing catch up. My research is in the movies that come out in theaters either they make or they don't.....
 
Doesn't matter if they owned all their heroes, Marvel had their heroes before they filed bankruptcy and they did nothing with it, the one they cam eout with were terrible. The Cap, Spidey and F4 films were a joke. As I wrote, DC always has plans, it just doesn't materialize. Look at the follow up post of the cast for the JLA film, they were about to start shooting then bad luck struck.

It isn't as simple as who has the rights and putting a product out there\ and take it to flop. Believe it or not DC is trying, they just had terrible judgement and they just go with the best franchise they have. Like Nolans Batman, sadly it isn't a world where Superman and other heroes can't exist so no matter how successful it is, they can't continue on with it. I mean I am sure people would not care if Snyder and Nolan agree to let that world exist together because everyone loves that trilogy but they decided on a different route so there you go.

I'm just saying look deeper into it before saying DC isn't doing anything even though they got all the rights to their heroes because it isn't as simple putting someone in their costume and filming them.

Basically DC are scared ******* only willing to do bankable movies (Batman and sometimes Supes). Marvel have always been the risk takers and historically have received high rewards for it (as well as the severe consequences). Lets not forget the main reason they had to sell movie rights was cuz of the risks they took as a publisher when they could do no wrong in the 90s and were about to go bankrupt.

They never tried to do movies seriously cuz they were already making crazy money in comics I'd suspect. Back then they didn't try that hard with the cartoons either.
 
I think they definitely tried to break into the movies, I am sure it is killing them for DC to have Burtons Batman in the lates 80's/early 90's the same way DC is probably dying inside with Marvels Avengers and they are struggling to get together a JL film.

I think DC needs someone like Feige, Disney gives him the reigns and control over Marvel films and it works. Like Feige is a producer for all those films while DC has different producers from Nolans Batrilogy to SR to GL. There isn't a consistency there, there isn't one guy who has a vision to put it all together and make it work. Hopefully the new CEO is more hands on and knows what he is doing, he is more a risk taker and that's why there is a Flash, Gotham, Constantine tv shows in the works all of a sudden and more films are supposed to be announced soon.

Looking up Feiges imdb, I find it interesting that he is the executive producer on plenty of rights that doesn't belong to Marvel like Spiderman and F4.

Agreed.

Feige as the head honcho with creative directors = deadly combo that has worked very well for Marvel.

Who do you think would be good for DC? I can't imagine any other good directors either.
 
I think Nolan could be good but he wants projects outside of comic book films. Right now the closest that has a pretty big say is probably Goyer but I really do not want him to be in charge, I actually want dude gone. Geoff Johns is the CEO of DC and I am sure he has some say but he seems more focused on the comics than films, I think his only credit as a producer for DC is the GL film.

I really don't know who they can put in charge within DC, I know Diddio and Lee are co-publishers and I am sure those guys can plan out a whole slew of films but I am not sure they have much experience on the business end and finding talents (writers, directors, actors, etc...), plus Jim Lee is still too busy drawing all the time.

Carry on.
