Movie News/Discussion Thread

Batman is just being rebooted as Nolan's batman is too real for JL. I'm not sure if they'll use the current/new superman or if they will reboot that too it's a sad day when movies are yet to be filmed and reboots are already being talked about

It all really depends on the Avengers, if it does as amazingly well as is hoped then expect the JL to hit the screens about the same time as the next X-men reboot

X-Men needs a reboot more than anything. One done by Marvel with the original team and which doesn't focus on Wolverine. And give Cyclops something to do.

And some X-men 4 and 5 news and a little on Deadpool.

I'd put money on Deadpool being filmed R and being release PG-13 with a R rated DVD cut later.

I am somewhat looking forward to a Justice League movie though. I'm guessing Henry Cavill and Ryan Reynolds will be in it but the actress who's playing Diana in the new Wonder Woman show won't. I think I read a while back Bradley Cooper was being talked about for Barry Allen.

Supposedly the ending to Batman 3 isn't even in the script.

My random speculation:

1. Batman dies, possibly broken by Bane.
2. Bruce takes Selina to Haly's Circus. Much Robin foreshadowing.
3. Some kind of reference to the Nolan produced Superman film.

[Parksey]

Ever since it looked likely that Nolan would make his set of Batman films a trilogy with a definitive ending, I thought Batman dying was pretty much the only logical way to take it. I can't imagine Wayne just hanging up his cape and going back to being a wealthy playboy. Bale (and I'd imagine most of Nolan's cast) will leave after TDKR as well, so there's no possibilty of a continuation.

And when they announced Bane would be the villain, that seems to tie in quite strongly with the comics.

Don't think these have been posted:









I think they're cool

I don't know about a Batman reboot. I'd like a live action TV show though. Imagine Smallville but good and with a budget.


Good news about Hawkeye.

They were going to do a young Bruce Wayne series but then Begins came along and sunk it. Some of the proposed story lines sounded interesting.

If you mean Gothan High I will hunt you down and hurt you.

What were these proposed plots?

Still love the idea the bat cave was built by Polish immigrant workers. Which logistics wise makes some sense.

"Coming here to Goham, stealing our jobs.."

Another Batman reboot?

Give it a break, at least. Jesus.

That actually sounds pretty good. Shame it never happened.

[Iron Nan]

Bruce Wayne show sounds loads better then Gotham High.

We've been hearing rumors to this effect for a while, but now the L.A. Times' intrepid Ben Fritz has confirmed it: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES will be the final chapter in Christopher Nolan's Batman run. Once he's finished, the character will be rebooted (with Nolan's input), and, most likely, attached to a narrative that will lead to a JUSTICE LEAGUE movie in 2013.

DKR is due next summer so how are they going to get both a Batman reboot movie and the Justice League movie done by 2013, that sounds like they've got quite a rush on.

Just read that. Sounds awesome. They should make it when Smallville gets cancelled. Batman > Superman.

The Wonder Woman TV show got moving a hell of a lot quicker than superhero movies. Quite surprised really.

So, Batman will be rebooted as well as TWO different Supermen at the same time. One for Snyder and one for JLA
http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=30579

Hot on the heels of the Batman Rebooted story, and the news that DC honcho Jeff Robinov plans to have a Justice League movie up and running for a 2013 release, comes this intriguing nugget from new Superman director Zack Snyder.

Heyuguys scooped the scoop from the red carpet at the UK Sucker Punch premier. Asking Snyder how his and Henry Cavill's Clark Kent would fit in the JLA, the simple response was "He doesn't."

"What I'm doing with Superman is like what Chris Nolan did with Batman," quoth Snyder, "and what they'll do with Justice League will be its own thing, with its own Batman and its own Superman. We'll be over here with our movie, and they'll kinda get to do it twice, which is kinda cool..."

Curiouser and curiouser, and of course, that's not an official statement from DC or Warners, and Snyder may be speaking out of turn. But it does sound like a reasonable explanation of how on Krypton DC plans to get a Justice League released so quickly: mere months after The Man of Steel. Everyone has been looking to Marvel's Avengers strategy as a template, but perhaps that's never what DC has had in mind.

Interestingly, this was ever so. Cast your mind back to George Miller's proposed Justice League, which crashed a couple of years ago (due to the writers' strike and some odd Australian tax shenanigans), and the story was basically the same. That film would have seen Armie Hammer Jr as a Batman running concurrently with Christian Bale's, with Adam Brody as The Flash, Common as Green Lantern, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman and DJ Cotrona (as opposed to Brandon Routh) as Supes.

Fan backlash had begun before the project shut down, but wasn't the reason for the its collapse. Is this that same film, belatedly resurrected? It's sounding as if DC still has confidence that the JLA can exist parallel to its main movie superhero canon. What say you?
