I'm really glad that they haven't tried to dance around his identity for the audience and have made it about the characters trusting him and seeing that shattered instead.

Fox picked up Lucifer.

Clancy Brown playing Lex killed Grodd in the Justice League Unlimited finale with him swearing revenge on him, now Grodd killed Clancy Brown in The Flash.

>>41967
Wonder how they'll handle Mazikeen.

So did Future Barry pull the Speed force out of wells? Hence at the gadgetry to get back on the tracks.

>>41975

There's an arrow pointing towards his dick!

>>41970
How the hell did I not pick up on Eiling being Clancy Brown?

>>41982
It wouldn't need saving if it wasn't a lame show.

>>41991
its decent but it does need more teeth and NBC cannont give it that.

>>41993
Why though? It's the network that has Hannibal.

>>41993
I understand that it is missing a lot of the grittiness of Hellblazer, and NBC is limited by the FCC nonsense, but I've greatly enjoyed Constantine. Perhaps part of the reason I do is that I wasn't familiar at all with Constantine except for the name and basic setup prior to seeing this show. (Well, I saw the Keanu Reeves movie, but I understand that also takes a lot of liberties from the source.)

>>42002
Apparently that was Val Kilmer's Batman Forever suit.

THE ARROW BUTTHURT WILL BE IMMENSE TONIGHT

Not really sure I like where they've gone with Ray, but I figure the further they move him away from Arrow the less Tony Stark he'll start to be.

Cuz right now he's WAAAAAAAAY too Tony Stark, like giving him flight is a little too much, but given Arrow's Universe they are kinda stuck, they really need to shift him over to The Flash soon.

>Mooney's eye
FUCK.
WHAT.

>>42044
I really hope the Supergirl outfit isn't trash.

Also Ray Palmer was apparently supposed to be Ted Kord on Arrow but Synder said he wanted him and fucked everything up at the last minute, if they had gotten Kord they were thinking about putting in Booster as a fame seeking guy with no time travel stuff.

But again, thanks Snyder, you scuttled all that.

>>42044
Is Kara Zor-El not a blonde in this? What the fuck?

>>42047
She's gonna dye her hair or wear a wig.

>>42047
Why would a series where Jimmy Olsen and Cyborg Superman are both black need Supergirl to be blonde?

>>42049
Same reason Superman shouldn't be. It's pretty much iconic at this point. And no, Cir-El doesn't count.

Hmmm, if you mix Constantin and Gotham would you get the Sam and Twitch show?

>>42055
Yes.

http://io9.com/a-former-superman-and-supergirl-join-the-new-supergirl-1688515014

Neat, Kinda what I think they should do with a Wonder Woman Show. Lynda Carter being Queen Hippolyta and Lucky Lawless being Diana Prince.

>>42086
Kinda bland and Halloween-costumey compared to Flash and Arrow's, though I guess you can't do too much with Supergirl's costume to begin with. At least it's practical.

>>42086

...eh, could always be worse.

Some say Amell has been seen around the set rumoring an Arrow crossover of some sort.

>>42086
How am I supposed to tell how good the costume is in such shitty lighting?

>>42096
Valid complaint also we'd better wait till they get their pilot done. Won't be the first time CBS dumped a show at that stage. Hope that Amell bit is true and its shipped off to CW

>>42166
>Jimmy
>smart, worldly and attractive
>though an alpha male, his salt-of-the-earth nature elicits a huge crush

What the fuck, at that point they shouldn't even name him Jimmy anymore, if they're going to get rid of what made him interesting/appealing.

>>42168
I don't know about complaining that Jimmy is smart and worldly- He's been all over the place and he isn't an idiot.

But yeah, the rest makes it pretty clear they are just hijacking the name to tie it closer to Superman, without using Superman.

Probably should have just used Comet the Super Horse.

I'm more confused about what the deal is going to be with Hank Henshaw, considering he's named after the Cyborg, who's supposed to end up looking like a robot copy of Superman. Unless it's another case of in-name only.

Overall we'll see how things pan out after they test the pilot. Which will be "leaked" just like the Flash was. It seems okay.

If we get some backstory that Jimmy was a massive geek but had it bullied out of him and he stars reconnecting with some of what he loved through Kara. That could help it.

Hm, seems that Jared Leto is going to be doing a variation of the Mark Hamill Joker voice.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/suicide-squads-jared-leto-teases-his-joker-voice

>>42179
Which in turn is partly based on how Cesar Romero did it. The history of the Joker.

>>42179
Can't unhear the Solid Snake growl.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/yonny616/news/?a=117366

WB told CW to axe their Deadshot since they've got plans for him in their suicide squad movie. Because we know Smith will be fantastic in that and we don't need others confusing people. Lucas Logic *cringe* Because Will Smith is such an acting powerhouse when playing it cool and reserved.

>>42190
WB is so fucking stupid.

>>42193
And thats why Disney/Marvle is laughing at them all the way to the bank.

>>42195
DC invented that, literally they were the first to do it, it's still what they do.

WB is just too fucking stupid to understand that.

Mark Hamill might just be the greatest supervillain actor of our time.

>>42230
I do enjoy how the villains in this series just roll with it. They lose, there is always next time. Some nice old school comic feels.

>>42232

Yea with Flash setting up the "no killing" rule for the rogues.

Heh Hamill had his hair Luke style at the start of it. If it hadn't been for the accident trashing his face he'd possibly been another of those youthful looking actors even now.

>>42249
I think my big problem is his chin is too pointy. Needs a much stronger jawline.

>>42252
Yeah, it's kind of like an inverse Conehead.

Or an ice-cream cone!

>>42249
He would have made a better fit for Victor Fries IMO.

>>42254
I agree with that coloring in that poster. Wonder if they are going to give him cancer from the "Space Rocks"

>>42249
In a world where the TV series exists I can't even imagine how anyone could actually want to pay money for this.

>>42261
Warner Bros/DC could really set up a nice TV Justice League, etc. But they want that Avengers money.

A friend just helped me realize HOW FUCKING TERRIBLE the DC movieverse will be, they are based on the success of a series of films not included in the franchise and whose break out movie received a lukewarm reception.

>>42263
I think the biggest thing hampering Man of Steel was the staff. Snyder is a good cinematographer but a mediocre director and Goyer is just awful, so Batman v Superman's already off to a decent start by replacing Goyer.

DC doesn't need to achieve the success of the MCU and in all honesty they really shouldn't bother trying since most of that pie's already long eaten. As long DC keeps its expections reasonable and the films are just competent enough to gain a niche and hold on, they'll be in a stable position once Marvel's luster wears off, assuming that's not the result of a global loss of interest in hero movies.

>>42264
WB has already made too many terrible decisions at this point over the TV shows and general casting. I've got my expectations low at this point.

Think they'll burn it all to the ground when the movies come out to keep people from being confused?

>>42266
Given their other antics, I wouldn't put it past them; I don't expect it, though.

>>42266
If they don't then BOY, the movieverse will look REAL embarrassing by contrast.

>>42268
Its continually dark and broody bullshit compared to the brighter television shows.

>>42288
It's... the cast at a reading. Not in costume. Boooooorrrring.

>>42288
Where's Jared Leto? And yeah this doesn't really tell us anything other than a chance to see some of the less prominent actors who might be showing up.

>Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are working behind the scenes to develop a story for Warner Bros.’ big-screen version of the DC Comic-based superhero The Flash. They are currently working on a treatment for the studio about the superhero, whose super speed allows him to seemingly break the speed of light and time travel. The character, whose origins began in 1940, have been part of the Justice League at DC Comics and has been given small-screen and feature treatments before, but with Lord and Miller on the case, The Flash will take on a totally different dimension.

>Whether they decide to direct is still up in the air. They have not, as yet, chosen their next project. Together they have directed some of the most successful movies at the box office, including Warner Bros.’ animated monster The Lego Movie which was as much as a creative hit as it was at the box office. That one grossed $468.7M worldwide and spawned a spinoff and sequel, which Lord and Miller are both involved with. Specifically, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego sequel.

http://deadline.com/2015/04/the-flash-superhero-movie-lord-miller-warner-bros-1201407459/

The perfect character for those two.

DC movies are extra embarrassing now, not because of The Flash or Arrow but because Daredevil is better at their own tone than even the Nolan movies which were full of techno nonsense.

>>42334
Just because everything is super unsaturated looking doesn't mean they'll necessarily actually go the grimdark Nolan route. I'm going to wait and see before I judge, although I'll admit that Daredevil's already won in the cinematography department.

This is fun. //youtube.com/watch?v=8XE_jH2eQl4

>>42361

I’d love to see a Marvel equivalent some day, but I know that ain’t gonna happen.

>>42362
Yea they really need a TV presence that AoS has run from largely. Though they've got plenty of stand ins they could use for some street level stuff. Heck they've even got their own Batman they could do something with if they cared about Moony.

>>42363
Actually that's the whole point of the Netflix stuff, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

//youtube.com/watch?v=JnpA6OM4SWI

>>42380
Wow, it's... nothing.

>>42380
The nose on the Batman cowl looks goofy as fuck without someone's head under it.

>>42380
Goddamn I forgot how fucking AWFUL that Superman symbol was.

>>42383
You know how Superman's main aesthetic is represented by Art Deco?
That crest is so art noveau.
Its

literally

the opposite.

>>42361
Aw man that was awesome.

https://twitter.com/MuDragon/status/588781085946937344

Leak.

>>42391
yeesh, forget desaturated it's black and blue exclusively.

>>42391
Doesn't exist anymore.

>>42395
It was literally nothing.

Have you mocked the Batman v Superman trailer?

You will.

>>42400
It's a special kind of bad where it is both nothing and terrible.

>>42404

As @The_MovieBob put it on Twitter:

>If it feels appropriate to lay the parody-song from THE LEGO MOVIE over your Batman trailer, its a bad trailer

Like they say Superman is in this but it's so dark he was almost invisible except for damage he was causing.

>>42406
So dark and defeated before the move even starts. Really what is the point if everyone is scared and fears Superman, and so does Batman.

Superman Animated Series did it without being so gloomy.

I can think of something better. Both of them are talking it out with Bruce having none of it and they get attacked either by Military or Lex backed by the government to handle "The Alien and The Vigilante." One of them gets TKO'd and they are taken from the battle by the other away for recovery.

Thinking either Bruce getting taken back to the Kent farm and waking up in Clark's old room with Clark asleep in a chair across from him.

Or Clark waking up on Wayne Manor just as Alfred finishes up some cleaning of his bandages and then makes his way down to the dining room to meet with Bruce.

Link to trailer? I want to see it for myself.

Oh, I guess Arsenal is apparently straight up off the show.

I hope they give his costume to someone else, it's the best in the series.

>>42409

You're in luck. WB apparently figured out they couldn't keep the camrip of the trailer off the 'Net, so they just went ahead and officially released it.

//youtube.com/watch?v=IwfUnkBfdZ4

So if he'd just left it has part of his family history would it be as big a joke as it will end up being.

>>42422
What a baby. Only the most extreme polemicists would genuinely view that as a reason to hold a grudge against their descendants.

>>42421
Concerns about the usage of a lot of Dark Knight. A lot of that was about the collapse of their friendship and Clark being a puppet of the government and the nasty crap they were doing to other heroes. So I'm having a hard time seeing the light at the end of this tunnel that leads to the JL.

>>42423
You forget the popularity of sites like Yourfaceisproblematic. Although thankfully that one became so much of a laughingstock among sane people that even the more... enthusiastic social justice bloggers eventually caved and admitted to themselves that it's a landfill of cherrypicking and quote mining.

>>42421
Did they at least preface it with a joke like the Avengers did with "Dammit HYDRA"?

>>42425
*Yourfaveisproblematic
Whoops. Although I'd laugh if there was such an imitation site like that.

>>42426

>implying DC/WB has that much of a sense of humor or wants that kind of sense of humor associated with BvS:DoJ

>>42428
Which is a shame because that would make a great Lex Propaganda reel.

>>42421
Literally nothing is selling me on this movie.
Its a shame.

It's so hard to believe that they would make a franchise literally on the basis of "No fun allowed."

>>42431
I'm hoping it's just Snyder and the other heroes will have directors willing to lighten up.

>>42432
They already been very, very clear that this is the across the board tone of all the movies.

>>42433
Running in the opposite direction so they can be a clear difference from Marvel.

>>42434
Apparently that includes being any good.

>>42433
Except for Shazam, apparently.

>>42437
I know it's actually a real thing but Bat's new armor looks jank as fuck.

>>42438
Well its based of a suit that is as much for battling Supes as keeping all of Bruce's insides on the inside. Its a really accurate version from DKR which seems kinda out a place with everything else.

>>42442
That's what I mean. I know it's accurate, but sometimes being overly literal in translating designs to film isn't a good thing.

>>42444
Especially when its the only thing? I mean where is Ghost Regan telling Superman to go put an end to the invigilate.

>In a recent interview, The Avengers: Age of Ultron director confirmed that he saw the Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer last week. Expressing his giddy excitement, Whedon said that he can’t wait to see DC’s biggest icons clash on the big screen for the first-time ever.

>“I found [the trailer for ‘Batman v Superman’] interesting,” Whedon told Yahoo Movies, “Because they’re bringing up a lot of issues that we bring up in ‘Age of Ultron’ and I think it’s inevitable. People with power, who are good, do not always agree and it makes perfect sense for me that [Batman and Superman] would fight,” Whedon told Yahoo Movies. ”And besides… Batman and Superman are gonna fight! I’m so excited! I’m so excited!”

http://comicbook.com/2015/04/22/joss-whedon-is-super-excited-for-batman-v-superman/

I don't get the criticism of Batman and Superman not getting along either, as we all know they're going to bury the hatchet at the end. (Gotta shake hands before Justice League comes out).

http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/04/22/superman-the-flash-season-2-tom-welling-smallville/

Haha. Yes, YES!


Seriously though, If CBSupergirl is meant to be in continuity with Flash and Arrow, they WOULD need a Superman.

>>42501
I still see it being shifted over to CW at some point. There just isn't enough of that kinda stuff on CBS to support it. That being Zero.

>>42501
Nice. Never watched much of Smallville but from what I heard it was pretty good. Also they managed to squeeze in my nigga Bart Allen.

I think I've become Jumpman when it comes to DC, I can't stop avidly hating 90% of it.

>>42513
With all due respect, I don't think my criticism of Marvel Studios ever gets as heated or personal as you arguments against DC.

Granted, I acknowledge that I'm a critical person, which becomes more apparent when disusing generally loved things (Marvel films, Adventure Times, Nintendo, a fourth thing...).

>>42514
Yeah I'm gonna take a step back all things DC movie and comic, it pisses me off too much, I'll only talk about the TV series stuff because of how much I enjoy it.

I don't think anyone cares enough about Adventure Time anymore to rebut you like they used to.

At least Tiki's reasons for it sound like he's upset because he's seeing something he genuinely loves or wants to love go to shit even if it's over stupid or petty reasons. Whereas Jumpman is obsessive or just tsundere about hating certain things to the point that he combs for reasons to shittalk them and can only enjoy other things with respect to their ability to make that first thing look bad in comparison.

>>42519
>Whereas Jumpman is obsessive or just tsundere about hating certain things

BAKA!

>>42528
http://furiousfanboys.com/2015/04/viral-video-lies-about-how-man-of-steel-really-looks/

That video is a load of rubbish.

>>42545
You're right. Man of Steel was actually BRIGHT and COLOURFUL and definitely FULL OF LIFE.
Of course that video's full of rubbyish! MoS was in colour already!

>>42546
I'm not saying Man of Steel couldn't have benefited from a brighter palette (it wouldn't have been enough to salvage the movie anyway), but intentionally darkening the footage to make the edit look better reeks of dishonesty.

>>42545
Aside from the egregious first shot mentioned there most of the darkening doesn't worsen my opinion of the visuals in MoS that much further than it already is.

>>42552

…oi.

>>42552
Dammit Warner Bros. Restraint, have you heard of it.

>>42552
Mostly looks like Rayon with a dye job so far. I'll wait and see but it's already looking better than Luthorberg so far. It looks kind of comical, but I think that contrast with the grimdarkness the other DC characters seem to be going for actually will work pretty well in his favor.

>>42552
Maybe it's because I'm to preoccupied about the Love Live movie right now, but I'm indifferent about the look. Neither love or hate it. Will judge when I actually see his performance.

I think I've seen this type of design before, but the tattoo look is common, so maybe that's it.

>>42554
The tattoos are far too much, but I like the false teeth. It's a nice way of showing he has a history with Batman.

>>42552
Looks really goofy but I don't hate it. So far I'm already preferring it to Ledger Joker when the first pics came out.

>>42552
A thought I have on this is the difference between looking dangerous and being dangerous

>>42552
It's the "damaged" head tattoo that is JUST a little too much, drop that one and it's a pretty solid re-envisioning of Joker as a prisoner, the disposable neoprene glove in particular a nice touch.

The tats make me think of the Joker in Frank Miller's All Stars Batman and Robin, to the point I wonder if it was an influence.

>>42552
This doesn't look like the Joker, it looks like a high level Joker goon, or one of the Jokerz from Batman Beyond.

>>42567

>I think it's silly to demand purple suit Joker when we had that version for [three] films.

I don’t think anyone was demanding he look exactly like Ledger, Nicholson, or even Romero. But this reeks of some out-of-touch film exec’s idea of what ‘edgy’ looks like. The tattoo on Leto!Joker’s forehead makes me think this design was an idea on the level of ‘Spider-Man should be a humble-bragging EDM-loving dudebro’ that ultimately didn’t get rejected somewhere down the line.

>>42571
So they were gauging fan interest. Not clever. But that's good!

>>42571
Never heard of the site and I haven't seen any well-known site report the same. People on Twitter are asking for a source, too.

>>42567
>I think it's silly to demand purple suit Joker
That's not what I'm seeing here or anywhere people have been criticizing it on. Most of the complaints revolve around the tattoos or looking too edgy.

//youtube.com/watch?v=LPJ8b7zwa98
Wow, people are really upset about those tattoos. I agree they look pretty awful but I was expecting Joker to have them covered up for most of the movie so it's not something that bothered me. I'm really hoping they do something about it in the final version, because Suicide Squad is the only DC movie I'm still looking forward to at this point and goddamnit I don't want the hype to die for that too.

Though I'm still kinda worried, Will Smith and dramatic acting aren't the best combination. Playing a really serious hitman vs others that are supposed to be crazy. He seems to be weakest when he's playing a straight man.

>>42571

Not really gonna believe that until I hear it from an official source -- or at least a source with a shitload more credibility (e.g. Variety, Latino Review).

I’d like to hope this was just a huge focus group thing that WB thinly-veiled as a “celebration of The Joker” so WB can see how fucking stupid that look would really be…but I don’t trust to hope when it comes to Hollywood.

>>42578

They still have more credibility than this no-name outfit.

>>42578
>never even heard of these guys.
>"I get my movie news from Polygon and Slashfilm!"

I guess there's still Guillermo del Toro's DC movie to look forward to?

>>42592
Yeah, right after Silent Hills, the live action Hulk series, the Adventures of Pinocchio and Pacific Rim 2

>>42593
Well Silent Hills is dead so the wait will be a bit shorter.

>>42595
Was there ever any source? I don't know if Del Toro is the kind of guy to refer to himself as "greasy heart".

>>42596
http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/27846/article/silent-hills-not-going-to-happen-confirms-guillermo-del-toro-pt-already-getting-delisted/
Haven't seen anything to verify it but sounds pretty legit.

>>42597
Yea its not cancelled but without Fox Engine, Del Toro, and Kojima I don't think many really give a damn.

>>42600
CG, suit, or a mix of both?

>>42601
that looks like some really fuzzy fur. Might be some Animatronics thrown in as well.

>>42601
>>42602
Hard to tell really from the resolution.

>>42601
Grodd is pure CG, they don't have money for suit, but they keep him in dark places so it's not too jank.

>>42604
Yeah his chest looks way too smooth and shiny to be natural.

http://gerryconway.tumblr.com/post/117619743363/who-created-caitlin-snow-on-theflash-according

>>42612
Do DC threads have their own Jumpman now? Although wow, that's still really fucked up.

>>42612
DC has become an increasingly backstabbing ass in their attempt to keep all their eggs to themselves while punching them out of the gooses that lay them.

>>42615
You sure it's DC and not the WB management behind them?

>>42616
Unsure but you may be right. This could be WB now actually paying attention to the fact they own DC, doesn't look like a good thing. But this does sound he the scummy moves they've been doing to creators for a while now.

Holy Shit Titans sounds AWFUL

>>42619
You mean Blackbirds now?

http://badassdigest.com/2015/04/29/crisis-on-infinite-dc-movie-plans

>Warner Bros has learned the wrong lesson from Marvel's success - they're chasing a shared universe, but they don't have a Kevin Feige overseeing it all. That is vital; Marvel Studios is producer-driven, and it allows the films to work together and for the entire system to move like a machine. Speaking to THR a WB insider called the DC Movieverse plan 'filmmaker-driven,' which is clearly a dig at what many see as a samey quality to the Marvel films. That's a nice concept, but the reality is that the filmmakers all need a centralized person (or persons) to lean on when the universe is shared.

>Look at Star Wars - that's shaping up to be a 'filmmaker-driven' shared universe, but everybody answers to the Lucasfilm Story Group, who coordinate everything and make sure all the films fit together and work towards a common goal. This is what WB is missing.

>>42621
Ugh, even if there wasn't this problem Zack Snyder has a very mixed record as a director and Man of Steel showed he's not ready to lead the DCCU. And I shouldn't need to explain why Geoff Johns is not qualified to be their head either. These guys are sabotaging their own brand when they should've just played the tortoise vs the hare and waited for the Marvel luster to fade a little before ramping up.

WHY DO ALL THESE FUCKING WOMEN HAVE A HATE ON FOR LYING!
Gah.

>>42623
What the hell are you talking about?

>>42624
I just watch Who is Harrison Wells and like the first thing Caitlin says is "you want me to lie" and is then all butthurt about it for most of the episode.

And after the Isis butthurt sub-plot, fucking Thea Queen and all other Arrow characters I am so fucking sick of this cheap bullshit drama.

Sure Caitlin have the right to not be on board with the rest of them but ofcoure its the having to lie that makes her not want to do it.
*sigh*

>>42622
Yea they should have waited a few more years before going into this stuff with Batman and Superman. I mean its not that far off that Marvel would be winding down back to single hero pictures for a while while Star Wars picked up steam.

Course I also feel Rises would have been a much better introduction movie for a new Batman and then start them off on their own with Superman still having solo films for at least another two films.

Its interesting how much Coulson and Fury are good symbols for how the Marvel films work together. I think they need something like that, though that might be too much "fun".

DCTV is building strength and fun that I think they could use.

>>42621
tl:dr - If Green Lantern had been successful, Greg Berlanti could have been DC's Kevin Feige?

>>42627

Could be, problem is DC Cinematic is so damned phobic about putting in "silly comic" stuff that they end up making things much stupider than if they'd just gone with that in the first place. "CGI suit will look much cooler than some silly spandex version."

>>42626
>DCTV is building strength and fun that I think they could use.
Flash maybe but Arrow's been in a state of freefall for a while, some of it a direct a result of the movies.

>>42629

A good example of how the movie side of things don't understand how to make it work. Kinda like the push me pull you that Marvel had with Whedon which made things less than they could be for them.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/superman-batman-dcs-real-battle-792190

>>42627
It's really too bad. As everyone's saying the DC reps are taking entirely the wrong message from that movie's failure. Green Lantern didn't do bad because it was too lighthearted, it did bad because it was just plain bad (hopefully Deadpool will be good proof of that). Likewise TDK isn't good because of its srsbzns, that's just a side effect of Nolan's style. Unfortunately Snyder and all the other non-Nolan people don't seem to understand that, hence the total mess Man of Steel ended up being. As a Marvel/DC idort it really sucks seeing them flounder like this.

>>42629
Arrow will be saved by the third series, it's really suffered from WB dictates and needing more expanded universe to survive.

>>42707
Not bad, Big Will better get the Mask at some point, like his wrist guns. Why do I have the feeling the movie about villains is going to be less grim than BvS.

>>42707

…eh. At least Deadshot and Harley look okay-ish.

>>42707
2grimdark4me.
Harley and Willshot look pretty good.
Katana looks horrid though.

So are they going after the Joker? Some kinda Expendables thing going on. Hopefully Harley is signing on because she's tired of his bullshit and its not a incoming Heelturn that gets a few of them killed. I like Redeemed Harley. One of the best things is when she's like that.

Any time I see someone whining about the Winter Soldier not wearing a domino mask in his movie, I want to show them that woman at the bottom.

>>42707
My brain went to "Man, this person put a lot of mods on TF2."

>>42707
June Moone looks like a homeless drug addict.

>>42714
Wait, that's supposed to be June Moone?

>>42715
Yeah, the lady behind Katana is apparently Enchantress.

Also- Harley is clearly keeping up the tradition of costuming her like a straight up prostitute that the Arkham games started.

>>42707
Don't feel particularly strong about it but it's not terrible which is a good start.

>>42718
His helmet is like a wiffle ball.

>>42707
It probably won't be so bad in motion but WIll Smith is the only one who actually looks cool. For some reason I feel like they would fit better in DC's television shows than their movies.

>>42718
I really reallt REALLY hate to be that guy... but Deadshot's cyber eye thingie is in the wrong side

>>42722
Don't insult DC's TV-verse, those costumes are light years ahead on these dirt stained rags.

>>42710
>Katana looks horrid though.

Which is funny because she is the one person in that pic who looks the most like the comic counterpart.

>>42707
So is Joker on that pic or not, cant tell...

>>42724
A lot of the costumes in DC's TV shows look kinda cheap IMO. Sorry.

>>42736
Not as bad as Daredevil's suit.

>>42736
They are, like I said, light years ahead.

After coming home from Rifftrax: The Room, I remembered that they have yet to riff on Man of Steel. Which is amazing to me, because it would be the perfect film to riff.

The Dark Knight riff was hilarious.

Is it just me, or is /co/ being weirdly defensive of all these absolutely terrible DC design decisions? Is it /co/ just being contrarian? Or is there a surplus of individuals visiting /co/ who actually like this aesthetic compared to the general population?

>>42796
People might actually have different opinions you know. And I think some of the negativity about the designs, while justified, is a little pessimistic. Although at this point it's really hard to say with a straight face that DC is truly handling the subject matter better than Marvel, unless you're that blind of a brand loyalty.

Constantine's second season is "still alive" but there's little chance for it to appear on the Fall schedule.

>>42803
Well they did stop production. It will take a awhile to get it all going again.

>>42803
And now it's dead.

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/08/constantine-officially-canceled-nbc?hootPostID=26ba602bce17576588e8d98a8f8850a6

>Yet as with so many shows lately, the network ax isn't necessarily the end of the line. We hear Warner Bros. is shopping the DC Comics-based series to other potential outlets and is hopeful about finding the show a new home.

Wasn't Syfy a possible home mentioned?

>>42817
Shame. It was never great but at the same time the showrunners seem like they were willing to learn from their mistakes.

>>42818
And honestly, what the fuck else does NBC have? Right now Constantine is trending on Twitter. That's more recognition from the public than NBC usually gets.

In fairness, I assume the show's budget played a part in the cancellation. From what I hear, Hannibal is cheap (or, cheaper than expected) to produce. So it's able to get a third season, despite terrible ratings.

I would've thought Hannibal was more popular than that considering all the fangirls and all the yaoi it generates, unless they're the only ones actually watching it at this point.

>>42826
There's something very appropriate about the idea of a series about Lucifer being a guilty pleasure.

An entire channel devoted to "proving" that Man of Steel was a good movie.

Constantine's show might be dead, but he may still get a guest appearance on Arrow. Matt Ryan is perfect for the part, and Arrow could really use some of the humor he would bring.

>>42860
Some of it was kind of cringeworthy so I'm hoping they're just playing up the camp and will tone it down in for the actual show. I like the idea of giving Kara a sister, but I'm really not digging what they've done with Jimmy's character (and I'm not referring to the part about him being black).

They made him a Super Alpha world famous world photographer. Kinda kills part of his everyman vibe making the apex of success. Also makes a development arc that isn't related to Kara very unlikely.

>>42862
Exactly. This is everything NOT to do when it comes to adapting characters properly, especially more established ones like Jimmy.

>>42860
I liked this, except for a) the over exposition thing that honestly kinda also exists in Flash (and I assume Arrow) which will hopefully even out forwards from the pilot.

and b) Jimmy Olsen not acting at all like Jimmy Olsen, and not even letting people CALL HIM Jimmy Olsen. There's no reason for him to be Jimmy Olsen if they aren't going to write him as Jimmy Olsen. This isn't like some of the character shifts from Flash or Arrow (like say, Felicity being a young love interest, or Vibe not sucking) it's a super well defined character having all of their main personality traits eliminated.

>>42864
They did that with Man of Steel too didn't they? What did poor Jimmy do to get flushed from DC like this? Was it because that Jimmy was too strong a connection to the Blue Boy Scout they also have a problem with?

>>42865
He's too Superman-y. A Silver Age relic, or something like that.

>>42866
Bet we hear that in interviews before the release. "own interpretation, stronge, more cconfident" crap like that.

I don't hate James Olsen. Its a take on a character, not a performance based on a pre-existing one.
Hell, there's little I dislike about this. Maybe the trailer showed a little too much, but the overall tone actually feels like a modern day version of the Dick Donner film, oddly enough.

I'm looking forward to it, anyway.

>>42860
The tone kind of annoys me. Nothing wrong with superheroes kicking ass and being feminine at the same time, but I feel like it pours on the chick flick vibes too heavily, at least early on.

>>42870
Would you say its an oversaturated market?

>>42871
More that it comes uncomfortably close to that one joke trailer SNL did about the Black Widow.

>>42872
Yeah, this, that was my first thought "it's like that Black Widow thing in SNL, only for real".

>>42872
>>42874
It definitely got too close to comfort with that, especially with Supergirl crying after the military guy tells her off. But, overall, I thought it was a nice trailer.

>>42860
Not for me, but still good for what it is.

>>42875
If that is what comes up this that will be cool. "He inspired me to take risks and become the man I wanted to be." Meaning I really hope it is and they didn't just Max Stat him because they wanted someone for Kara to swoon over.

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE

>>42875
Even in his peak actualized period, running around as a spy named Mr Action... Jimmy Olsen was still kind of a dork.

>>42882
Damn just showing how the whole super hero team thing is done. I do worry Warner Bros nuking this as they attempt to build up League stuff.

>>42882
IT'S EVERYTHING I WANTED

>>42882
Why can't this just be the DC movieverse.
