DC Extended Universe

Well in many places last names originated as titles .

Or the writer probably forgot Atlanteans usually only have one name when he was first written.

So my big movie purchases next month will be Watchmen and Bv S Ultimate Cut. I wonder if that will assuage the anger some people have? Special cuts do tend to make at least some people less mad about a movie and occasionally even make them completely reverse their opinion on it. Do you think the Ultimate Cut might help you like Dawn of Justice more?

I find it very hard to believe the movie is as bad as some people say.

Even if the story is more coherent in the extended cut, I would still be angry about the theatrical release, because there was a lot of stuff you could have easily cut out of it for the benefit of something else. (All the dream sequences for starters, as well as the Justice League Starter Kid).

But I doubt that I will like the movie more when it is longer because I actually believe that one of its main problem is that it keeps meandering off into different storylines instead of focussing on conflict between Batman and Superman.

It's really not, but the general opinion of it in this forum actually varies a lot.

My own opinion is that it has some good ideas and some good individual scenes but none of transitions together very well and it's poorly edited. It could have been a lot better with more scenes, better editing and some plot tweaks. And yeah some of the scenes/plotlines in it are unnecessary for this film.

Gal Gadot Differentiates Between Wonder Woman of "Justice League" and Solo Film

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/gal-gadot-differentiates-between-wonder-woman-of-justice-league-and-solo-film

Makes sense. After all, the films take place nearly a century apart, and a person can change a LOT over such a long period of time.

Which actually brings up a good point. Generally in fiction, immortal characters will stay more or less the same person over their lives, but when you think about it, humans can virtually become entirely different people over the course of their We Are as Mayflies lives, so why should an immortal stay the same over MUCH longer periods of time?

So this is just the Zack Snyder interview.

I'd say portrayals of immortality generally represent an author's personal opinion of the idea. There's no reason to imagine that, if a person lived and stayed healthy for an extended period, they wouldn't just keep doing lifey things (take a look at Hob in Neil Gaiman's Sandman).

As far as change, I'd say it depended on what kind of life they had. If it's a cloistered immortality, then I doubt the person would change much. If, though, it's an immortality that is a life among others, then yeah, I can see such a person changing considerably over a century.

"Drive's" Nicolas Winding Refn Wants to Make a Batgirl Film.

I've heard he does great Neo-Noir films, I can see him helming that possible Margot Robbie Birds of Prey movie.

*Crosses fingers for Cassandra Cain*

NWR is a little bit... dense for what I'd want for a Batgirl/Birds Of Prey movie.

Don't get me wrong though, I love Drive, Bronson, and Only God Forgives.

Justice League concept art◊.

Something seems... off about that Cyborg design to me. Maybe it's too Bio Mechanical to my liking, I'm not sure.

Personally speaking, Cyborg doesn't look that bad. Flash on the other hand? Ugh, somone needs to lay off the body paint.

Victor reminds me of Jax from Mortal Kombat in that image.

Funny, in M Kvs DC universe, Jax ending he become cyborg by his own will

Maybe I'm too used to his bulkier appearances, but I'm not a fan of how slim Cyborg looks. Too Witchblade for me.

I don't mind Flash's suit, it's really the lack of a distinct helmet that's throwing me off. I figure they wouldn't play the lightning-bolt-stuff straight but still.

And that Batman is an early-PS 2 render, I swear.

Pretty sure that's concept art from BvS that just got released with the ultimate cut, so they probably won't look much like that in Justice League.

Yeah, I know that concept art tends to look pretty rough. I'm just saying, it's looks really damn rough.

The press preview said Flash has an aerodynamic bicycle helmet inspired headpiece, and his yellow lightning bolt is very prominent. Cyborg has his red eye piece and red chest piece. If official, it's very early design or discarded.

None of them look horrible, except the compositing on Aquaman, but probably shouldn't consider any of the new ones even close to the official designs. I kind of like how you can't quite tell where flesh ends and metal begins on Cyborg. And the hip design for Flash's armor reminds me of Mass Effect.

But the line up feels empty without a Green Lantern.

They said Cyborg's armor will change size when he's angered and ready for battle.

Sorta like how Justice League War did it.

Real◊ water?!◊

I don't remember that happening.
