[LonnieFisher]

[Captain Big Trousers]

I wonder if it's true about Wonder Woman.

doubtful ,but ive not seen either of them yet lol

while some of his claims may be legit ,dont all industries have cut backs and layoffs at times of low performance and disney has laid off staff for sure for similar reasons http://www.cartoonbrew.com/games/dis...es-139525.html i understand this layoff was recinded for now ,but it seems to be a industry practice ,not just a evil perpatrated by warners
it also begs the question of, if this letter writer guy is so in the know as to know about wonder womans "supposed"problems ,a film thats not released for another ,what 10 months ,
how come he was so surprised by suicide squads final form
i call bull**** on him and his attack

I'm still in the like camp, a week later. Not love, but like.

I forgot to mention, my 14-year old son said something walking out of the theater that just floored me, but I couldn't argue with him.

(SPOILERS)





"I cared more when El Diablo died than we Superman died."


Now, this is a kid who has my old poster of Christopher Reeve as Superman on his wall to this day. So what does that tell you?


SS isn't perfect by any means, but when a nobody character like El Diablo can inspire more feeling than the most inspirational super hero around, WB REALLY needs to rethink how they handle their big guns.

Henry Cavill being allowed to show his charming smile (or at least a half smile) in that Justice League promo image gives me some amount of hope, though.

Layoffs occur, but not at the 10% if things are optimal. The departments he worked in is apparently distribution, which connects to marketing. When you're talking about established properties, that's a frustrating job as it should be paint by the numbers.

Great friggin point...and your son was not wrong...I felt the same way.

Preach Sister!

Preach Sister!

Meh.

"Criminals will always be easier to manipulate than heroes.
We can bribe them easier, blackmail them easier, assassinate them easier. Etc. Etc.
These criminals will be interrogated by any number of superheroes, cops and govt. agents... and if they ever try to implicate me, I'll always get the benefit of the doubt because: They're criminals. And I'm not.
People? They don't trust these criminals. And, just to wrap it up for the time being... the criminals... they, by and large, don't even trust EACH OTHER... no honor among thieves and all that jazz:
Again, criminals are easier to manipulate, and these superpowered ones are some of the most powerful in the biz.
Gotta go. The crocodile guy is eating someone and I want to watch."

[huedell]

And that is why I.... without a modicum of guilt... say "Screw DC and screw WB."

Chris' 14 year old is joined by hundreds of other 14 year olds (I heard some similar, so I guarantee it)---and THOUSANDS of like-minded adults.

You, WB exec and or DCCU supporter tell me: "Get used to it... this isn't 'my Superman?"

Well, before I waste any time trying to explain how this Cavill Superman is NO one's but some B&R (1997) bean-counter executive's ghost, I will disrespectfully say "Screw you, the ones that took the long-standing iconic nickname 'Man Of Steel' and reduced it's value to a Batman related selling point film title.... Screw you, I say."

Preach Sister!

That was brilliant...she's right on the money, lol...

[enyawd72]

^LOL she sure is...

Should we call Wonder Woman? Nah. Let's just send in this crazy chick with a baseball bat. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Why would Waller----shifty hero-distrusting woman that she is---- call WW of all people? Is Waller's character that changed from other media?

That was brilliant...

Can't believe it.

This stock SS stuff I put above didn't fly in the movie?

This is not helping me wanna see it.

Why would I go see a SS movie that is looked at at disjointed story-wise across audiences/critics alike AND apparently droves of middle-aged men and their teen-chick mascot/spokesperson successfully tear down the logic of a super-baddie team who has had decades to prepare to take their very simple logic to the big screen...

Or...

is this just another one of those "I love Superman... but there's no way in heck I'll believe for a second that glasses can hide Supes' secret identity in real life." dealies???

[CrimsonGhost]

I guess I'm a hater. I'm rooting for these DC movies to fail since Dark Knight because I don't like the direction and the way they are handling the characters. It's actually making me dislike the DC characters. My hope is they will fail and WB will have to go in a better new direction.

I mean, it worked for Star Wars...

I like the Flash tv show tho. I haven't watched the other ones.

Oh I don't know..."Your name starts with a W??? MY name starts with a W!!! Let's be best friends!!"

Worked for BVS

Ok I have now seen the movie and it is all kinds of crazy. So much time used on back history with characters. The edit job was just plain crazy, somebody needs to get fired on that. This movie really should have been done down the line after the single character movies were done. So many question:

? Who did El Diablo fight before he got locked up

? Why were Enchantress & Incubus the villains instead of Joker

? How did the get Killer Croc

? Where was Slipknot's bio

? Why did Joker use Black Mask goons

? Where was the Orb henchmen

? No Superman villain in the Squad

? Who called in Katanna

Just to name a few.
