DC Studios THREAD - GunnVerse Begins - Chapter ONE: Gods & Monsters

Because people were in here going on about how pathetic WB would be if they released the R-cut in theaters to "copy Deadpool's success" or try to hit a billi among other things

Now, to see if there's a showing in my area :nerd:

I give him a pass for After Earth because he seemed to have made that for his kid.

I don't think he's had a long string of bad films either, he's just been on hiatus of sorts.

I haven't seen COncussion but I thought Focus wasn't so bad, MIB3 was entertaining though felt somewhat dated.

Did you guys think 7 Pounds was bad? I thought it was ok and had a good story.

Hitch was good and I Robot had it's moments, wasn't the best but watchable.

I can't give him that pass cuz he put his kid out there with Pursuit and he had the Karate Kid remake all to himself.

Weirdly enough Will has been in a movie every year since MIB3 but I'm counting cameos and one small role. I dunno he did 7 Pounds which I liked and then took 4 years off. Going further back to Hitch and I, Robot is it when he had any problems.

He got 2 movies coming out this year though. 2nd one might be Oscar bait.

I need to see him in more action and sci-fi ****.

Well it can be seen as pathetic too since it failed to reach their expectations.

Aint nothing wrong with that opinion.

DC will be there.

I think even Marvel has some presence, I believe Gunn confirmed or hinted at it.
 
Viola Davis wanted to pepper spray 'Suicide Squad' co-star, Jared Leto

Actress Viola Davis revealed she was pushed to wanting to pepper spray her 'Suicide Squad' co-star, Jared Leto.

Jared Leto's "wacky" hijinks on the set of 'Suicide Squad' have become infamous. Adopting his own brand of method acting and truly indulging in the persona of the Joker, Leto decided to engage his co-stars via a series of gifts that truly embodied the spirit of the character and his complete disregard for the status quo. He sent everything form pornography to dead animals, even a live rat to Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), which she's proud to say she kept as a pet. For a while, Viola Davis, who plays A.R.G.U.S. director and founder of Task Force X, Amanda Waller, didn't receive any innappropriate gags. Eventually, Leto got to the rest of his gift list and apparently sent her a box of bullets.

The prank, however, did not sit well with the 'How to Get Away with Murder' star. In regards to finally meeting Jared Leto out of character at the wrap party, she had this to say:

"Before that I was only introduced to The Joker...and I almost had my pepper spray out. You know, 'You remember that bullet you sent me?'"

When asked about his acting method for tackling the iconic role of the Joker, Leto explained himself by saying:

"I did a lot of things to create a dynamic, to create an element of surprise, a spontaneity, and to really break down any kind of walls that may be there. The Joker is somebody who doesn't really respect things like personal space or boundaries."

Now that production has ended and the movie is slated for release, everyone seems to have put all the unpleasantness behind them...at least until the sequel.

How so? He basically said that at the end of BVS. He was talking about how he failed superman and in his death he wanted to carry on his legacy. Now that may have something to do with batman deciding not to disregard the life's ( he didn't murder them, as some people keep complaining about) of the criminals. It sounds like a natural progression for his character.
 
Cuz it was poor writing. No matter how much you rationalize it.

The story arc of Batman going from killer of criminals to repentant believer in good and not killing is bull ****.

You either keep Bats a killer or don't make him one at all.
 
Batman witnessed Supes sacrifice himself to keep humanity safe. It works perfectly fine.

Batman knows there can be bigger threats and he wants to make sure Superman's sacrifice wasn't in vein and that they keep protecting everyone. (Even though we know Supes is going to come back to life anyway. :lol: )

Pretty much. I've said it before, I have zero issue with Batman killing people. But you can't have him gunning down or blowing up Average Joe and Plain Jane, while he lets the Joker run around free. :smh: Doesn't make any sense and really just looks ridiculous considering all the crap Joker pulls.
 
I think the "murdering" in BVS is a perception thing. Batman has purposefully crippled bad guys before. It's just in BVS, Batman had no chill and no regard for anyone. He should be depicted neutralizing the bad guys for the GCPD to sweep them. He shot and blew up more things in BVS than Batman has probably done in every other Batman movie.

It was a poor decision to depict Batman, of all characters, doing that. 100%. I think it's still salvageable because we never saw Bats slit a throat or pop someone in the dome, but a lot of those dudes probably bled to death, died from blunt trauma, Batmobile bullet wounds, or from the collateral damage. :\

EDIT: If Zack Snyder wanted to satisfy his lust for violence, he should of had Bats break arms and legs or something.

I never understood the "why is the Joker free in the DCeU" line of thinking.

Batman may have been more ruthless and have had considerably less regard for the well-being of his enemies, but he's still Batman and the Joker's still the Joker.

Ya'll think because Batman kills he'll just put the Joker's home address into his GPS and roll up to his crib and smoke him? Because Batman always has tremendous ease in catching the Joker even when he's not killing? Is the criminal mastermind the Joker, who notoriously gets away from every encounter or conflict unscathed, somehow easier to apprehend, catch, locate, or defeat now that Batman doesn't care if his enemies live or die? Wut?

Batman should never have been the Punisher but the whole "he selectively chose who to kill" thing is silly

Various criminals in that film, and one innocent truck driver, most definitely died :lol: They'd be better off not trying to salvage anything, just acknowledging it, and moving on. Not even really that big of a deal when you take into account that Batman was killing criminals in the original live action films too. Then you've got the whole "I don't have to save you" thing from Batman Begins and however many members of the League of Shadows died when he blew up their base.

This or he's like Harley and the others, who based on the trailers are already locked up in jail at the start of Suicide Squad and may have been for however many years.
 
I'm not even thinking about just Joker running wild. The story is weak. Batffleck spends the whole movie seeing Supes as a threat, borderline wants him dead. Realized Lex has been playing him this whole time and STILL tried to kill Superman. Hears his mother's name and is shellshocked. Ends up the fighting the monster with him and just cuz Supes dies to kill it all of a sudden he's failed Clark, he won't kill Lex and will no longer kill?

Sorry but that story arc that is told is not good, poorly executed and just isn't believable.

I don't buy that based off what they showed me. So its bull **** to me. Batman looking for redemption? Stop it.

When you do add in Joker it's like how convienent it is that he starts killing possibly/partially cuz of the Joker, that whole entire time Bats doesn't kill him and then when he decided to stop killing and be a "hero" that's when Joker shows back up. FOH.

Pretending it's not easy to find and kill the Joker is stupid.

This defense is super weak.

How many face to face showdowns have they had? Especially ones where nobody's else's lives were on the line.

It's pretty some really, next time Joker shows up wanting to play kill him. Don't wait for clues about his plans or anything. Kill him. Then go about finding out where he left his laughing gas bomb or w/e. We're talking about the Worlds greatest detective. Not so e Lutz that just waits and reacts to villains. Bats is constantly proactive a out stoppi g crime. You add in that he kills and dude is beyond efficient. Word to Justice Lord Batman.

If Batfleck doesn't kill in JL, it'd be a waste.

He gave absolutely no dambs in BvS. Truly ruthless.
