God I hope this is good. Heard some less than charitable rumors, tho. But it has a flat-out gorgeous look to it. DC, help us out here--at least give us something competent, something to work with.

The thing that I heard through the grapevine that really cheeses my griddle is that they apparently deliberately go out and shoot these films with scripts they know are incomplete and then think they can go back during reshoots and "fix" the story (which is really just them papering over problems, because you gotta solve that shit at the start). Apparently this also happens with Marvel, but they're better at knowing what they want.Quoting Wryan (view post)
Yeh I heard the rumors too, but these trailers do a good job of hiding whatever discombobulation is there. We know that, because the BvS trailer also looked this way.
Welp. Whatever happens, at least we got her a pretty good theme song.
The thing in the trailer about hiding what she really is makes me think they're going with her New 52 demigod origin instead of her classic clay origin. I pout.

What theme? The vaguely ethnic melody from the logo reveal? Yeah, I don't get the love for that.
Yeah that's her theme from BvS.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Vaguely ethnic? Wha? Electric guitar from Themyscira? Or the actress from Israel?
Either way I'm confused.
The electric cello is sitar-y... maybe?
(shruggin' them shoulders)
Either way, I dig it.
Ugh I hate her BvS theme so much. I physically cringe every time I hear it. I was pretty into the trailer and then it hit and my whole being just went, "nooo.. aagh, don't ruin it!!"
It's a very solid, good-looking trailer but I'm weirdly more worried about it than ever because it's still not giving us any idea what it's actually about and I doubt it's out of fear of giving anything good away.

Hmm. It seems we were too quick to judge on this one. Ben Affleck reveals he checked into rehab for alcohol addition, partly the reason why he stepped down from directing Batman.
Yikes. Wishing him the best of luck in recovery.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."

I wonder what Joe Manganiello is doing.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Nothing now since the entire script is being re-written. Who knows if Deadshot will even be in it at this point.Quoting number8 (view post)
I know, that's why I'm wondering. Must suck to score the villain role in a Batman movie and then told to sit around in limbo not knowing if he's still gonna be in the movie.

Billy Dee Williams knows how that feel.sQuoting number8 (view post)
On the bright side, he finally got to play Dent in The Lego Batman Movie.Quoting Winston* (view post)
DC/WB should stop now and reboot everything. Halt Aquaman production.
I'm honestly scared that they're gonna go, "Hey, copying Marvel hasn't worked out. Let's copy Fox!" And then they give Zack Snyder carte blanche to make edgy R-rated movies with the Flash doing this in lightspeed:

Oi. That might be one of my most hated movies of all time.
My god. I forgot he was in that movie. Bwhahaha. Excellent.
Lego Batman 2 should totally have a Deathstroke cameo voiced by Manganiello.

I read somewhere it's being released Saturday.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
