In a better world, Mr. Terrific would have taken Cyborg's slot on the Justice League when New 52 happened.
I thought about posting this about 20 minutes ago. I figure that they went the Cyborg route to avoid having anyone hog Batman's spotlight.

Weĺl if they wanted someone who absolutely cannot steal spotlight from Batman in any way shape or form, they sure made the right call with Cyborg.I thought about posting this about 20 minutes ago. I figure that they went the Cyborg route to avoid having anyone hog Batman's spotlight.
The notion that anybody thought Logan would bomb is fucking astounding.The talks about hounding at a box office bomb got me curious about everyone's predictions this year.

It pisses me off that because of Johns inexplicable boner for dry white toast Hal Jordan the entire world is refused a Green Lantern that isn't just automatically better in pretty much every way, but also more recognizable and more liked.
And Manhunter doesn't make the cut because when they were building this shit David Goyer's dumb ass vetoed even the idea of it out of hand.

He's not involved with DCEU anymore right?

They went Cyborg because that's what Johns did for New 52. As for why Johns did it? Who knows, but it was apparently his call.
And again: Goyer could have gone with Manhunter, but he believed a) Martian Manhunter was too goofy a name b) his decision to be a homicide detective was stupid and c) the only people who give a fuck about Martian Manhunter are people who "don't get laid."
So Johns is why a lesser Lantern got a movie, and then when that movie got botched, its why the better, more popular Lantern (Stewart) was unavailable for Justice League, and because of Johns choosing Cyborg for his comics reboot instead, Cyborg gets the slot, partially because that's just easier to do since there's (immediate) precedent for it, and partially because Goyer is shitting all over Jonzz as a potential character.
His involvement begins and ends, I believe, with the Krypton prequel he's got set up at SyFy.

He is co-writing and co-producing the Green Lantern Corps movie.
He's writing Green Lanterns. The rumor is he might be directing it too.
Jesus Christ
A new rumor indicates that Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice writer David S. Goyer, who is co-writing Green Lantern Corps with Justin Rhodes, might end up directing Green Lantern Corps.
The Tracking Board reporter Jeff Sneider mentioned the Green Lantern Corps director possibility during a recent episode of Meet the Movie Press, the podcast that he co-hosts each week.
What happened to Umberto?Sneider and the Tracking Board, huh?
So it's 50/50 then.
(so weird how Sneider has picked up the crown Umberto Gonzalez left behind)
Still...50/50 is still 50 too close to reality for my liking.
Do we even know which two Lanterns are in the movie yet? Last I'd heard (and I'm apparently old and out of the loop on this shit) it was gonna be Kyle & John? Maybe?

Warner Bros and DC are moving aggressively on a new screen version of Green Lantern. They've set David Goyer to write the script with Justin Rhodes for Green Lantern Corps, with Goyer and his Phantom Four banner producing, with DC heads Geoff Johns and Jon Berg exec producing. The new version is described as Lethal Weapon in space, and it's based on a comic book origin story. The focus will be on two characters: Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The latter is an African American Marine sniper before he joined the Lantern Corps and the story very much focuses on his relationship with Jordan and the Corps. The story was conceived by Goyer and Johns.
Goyer's gonna have a "hold my beer" moment of the DCEU with this movie if that pans out.
For people claiming Infinity War will make more than Age of Ultron, what new audience will it attract and how?
I don't see how its going to attract a new demographic that hasn't been following the MCU at all to watch it like WW was able to.
I'm not trying to be negative just wondering what the logic is?
People like endings.
It's funny that the Arrowverse and DCEU dealt with Johns' other vanilla silver age love, Barry Allen, by completely ditching his personality.
To like endings, they need to like the trilogy first and foremost otherwisr it will be like The Hobbit trilogy which tumbled down instead of going up.Hmmm...I wonder how final Maze Runner movie will fare.

"Lethal Weapon in space with Hal & John" written by David Goyer.
Yeah I don't fucking want this.
(I mean, if you want Lethal Weapon in space at least pick Guy Gardner. Jesus)

Saw the first movie on a whim this Friday and it wasn't bad for a YA film. Predictable, but some decently directed scenes.

And deservedly so. It's an utterly forgettable, anti-climactic bore of a movie that makes sure to stop itself before anything too cool is allowed to happen. And I thoroughly enjoyed the second, and even respected aspects of the third.The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is also by far the lowest grossing of the franchise.

So is homecoming releasing in China?
You guys should get a copy of Street Fighter V.
Then you can meet Bronson whenever and literally mop that flop up
edit: Actually, the idea of BO Gaf playing Street Fighter V more than anyone in the actual Street Fighter threads do is pretty funny
I feel so bad for that movie. Looks so cool but it is going up against a movie that is already being declared an all time classic and one of the best films of the 21st century in Dunkirk.
Except it's not an ending. That was the end of Harry Potter franchise as we knew it. Same for Thrones.
