Go to DCEU, please. Also shows that the comic book film is a mainstay and attracting the likes of Sorkin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassandra Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Compare the Spider Man: Homecoming Trailer, and the Justice League Trailer. Spider Man is about character. Justice League is about action. Once again Marvel wins again. bigdamnhero and drunkonduty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 On the one hand, the first thing I thought of was Ang Lee's craptacular Hulk. On the other hand, at least he said he'd like to sit down and actually read a comic, which is a step Lee never bothered with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdamnhero Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Some people are suggesting Ex Machina as the perfect title for Sorkin. I can't disagree. Oooo a Sorkin-helmed Ex Machina movie would be awesome! Not that I'm holding my breath. On the one hand, the first thing I thought of was Ang Lee's craptacular Hulk. It's a much different world now, where Marvel has much more creative control over their films. When even uberfanboy Joss Whedon complains about studio interference, I don't worry that Sorkin would have a free hand. And bringing in someone with a fresh perspective isn't always a bad thing: both Harve Bennett & Jack Sewards were Star Trek newbies when they wrote Wrath of Khan, still the best Start Trek film hands down. I actually have mixed feeling about Ang Lee's Hulk. On one hand I understand and respect what Lee was trying to do. OTOH...let's face it, the movie is unwatchable.

Christopher R Taylor Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I liked Ang Lee's Hulk, but it could have benefitted from some editing to cut out some of the incidental stuff. I really like some of the experimental stuff he did with panels so it felt like a comic book at times, that was interesting, if not really necessary. The CGI dogs were pretty awful but that wasn't really his fault. Burrito Boy, bigdamnhero and DasBroot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Well, as far as reading a comic, iirc, the people who originally headed Smallville made a point of knowing nothing about Superman/Superboy because they wanted to give it a fresh take in a time of life we had never seen Clark in before. It is one of the main reasons they gave for never having him actually appear in costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Sure, but turning a blind eye to several decades of iconic superhero canon is not a good way to attract me (or any loyal Superman fan in general) as a viewer. I understand not wanting to be weighed down by a mountain of convoluted continuity, but if you refuse to ever show one of the character's signature powers and vow to never show the character in his signature costume, then you're basically giving a huge middle finger to millions of fans merely in an attempt to pander to the ignorance/indifference of the non-fans.

Old Man Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 True, but fandom was an insignificant sliver of the potential audience when Smallville started out in '01. It's stupid, because it does alienate that guaranteed segment of viewership, and ignoring canon is hardly necessary for writing new good stories.* Smallville eventually did manage to succeed through good writing, while the Snyderverse both ignores canon and writes badly, which is really kind of remarkable. * Continuity, on the other hand, can and should be ignored when it gets in the way.

zslane Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 But even non-fans know who Superman is and will be wondering when he'll finally get around to flying in his supersuit. It's one thing to say, "No, we'll never show his Super Ventriloquism power," but something else entirely to make "No flight, no tights" the show's inane mantra.

Old Man Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I suppose, but the show ran for ten seasons, so somebody liked it. bigdamnhero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 There were plenty of reasons to like the show. None of them justified the "no flight, no tights" dictum, in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 If he doesnt write anything for the movie, Sorkin could be okay; he's skilled technically as a storytelling director and in crafting imagery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 If he writes the screenplay, he won't be able to resist pontificating his politics through one of the characters. Oh joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
