Official Dc Thread

Same here. I stopped after the first two episodes. I thought it'd be cool to see these detective stories in Gotham but knowing who these villains are and who that whiny kid will turn out to be killed any excitement for me.

 

The first two episodes of season 2 have been way more exciting than all of season 1, and I don't think that's saying much.

 

Arrow and Flash made their return this week. Both look promising. Flash diving into alternate universes and Arrow taking on special powers and mysticism. Both got a new suit more like in the comics, and Oliver finally takes on the name Green Arrow.

 

Villain rumors for the Batman movie

Spoiler: Fan Theory Spoiler

I heard that actually may be a dream sequence based on the name of the toy with that Batman costume. It may explain why it feels so off.

Spoiler: Plot Theory Spoiler

Also have you been hearing about this theory that Bizarro is the main villain? What's that about?

Affleck looks great as Bats though. A+ there.

I'm not sure whether or not the movie will be just okay or good. Man of Steel really had me lower my expectations in that regard. I was so hyped seeing the trailers for MoS, but the movie itself was very blah. I think it was the decision to copy the Nolan Batman films' bleak and dark nature...hell even the colors were bleak and washed out (even Nolan didn't do this). While that's perfect for Batman, that ain't Superman in my book.

Personally, for some reason, I think that Suicide Squad will end up being the superior DC movie in this first wave.

 

I agree with barns.

For me the whole DCCU just feels lacking and rushed, like someone said "Hey we can do a CU too, get that done started now".

Marvel has been planning for years to do what is doing, DC is just throwing together crap and rightfully guessing that people will watch it cause batman is in it.

 

Margot Robbie looks hotter and hotter with every subsequent movie she stars in.

 

I think the reality is that if a being such as superman or any other upper echelon super hero, aka hulk existed, they would either be worshipped or hated by most. They would be viewed as a savior/god or a threat to wiped out. If it was more like the x men level sure you would get the freak treatment, but with someone who could level a city is minutes its a different story.
The other thing that DC always screws up is superman would be the most isolated being in the universe. They kjnd of touch on it in man of steel, but they never sig into it. The guy is not only the last of his kind, but he literally hears babies dying all the time. He is aware of the carnage happening all around the world and has to choose if he wants to help or not constantly. Supes would be seriously jacked up because of it.



As for the trailers, the more that come out the less I want to pay to see the movie. The first big one with 3 Affleck angry grimace face pans was awful to me. The character designs in SS are generally terrible, some exceptions. But killer croc looks like a whompa on steroids from the love action super Mario brothers movie.
