Doesn't WB have to make a new Supes movie every certain amount of years to keep the rights?

I'm sorry what? Never heard of this before. Giving away rights to who exactly?

 

[KorrZ]

I liked Man of Steel, it was rough in a lot of ways but it showed promise. So far they have yet to deliver on that promise whatsoever. Hopefully they get it right with this one because I do think Henry Cavill is a good fit for Superman.

 

[deadlast]

So we finally get real Superman and not the broody Supes we have now? Well at least he smiles in the Justice League pic, that's progress I guess.

Please have a scene of him shaving his face with his laser eye beam nonsense.

Huh? WB owns DC. They are not Fox/Sony.

 

[AlteredBeast]

If Snyder is involved in any way, shape, or form, then lmfao.

DC is owned by WB, so I can't see how that would be possible...

 

[yuraya]

Fuck yea!!!

MoS is an all time great Sci-Fi movie. Can't wait to see how they follow it up.

 

[shiftplusone]

Fuck the haters. I loved Man of Steel. It solved all the problems I had with Superman Returns. Just Clarke stalking Lois for three hours. No fights. He lifts something.

MoS had great action. Felt like Superman.

in the same way that a fleshlight "feels like a vagina" but is actually you just sticking your dick in a tube, sure.

 

[Ahasverus]

Johns showing fools who's in charge. Slay Geoff.

 

[IonicSnake]

Was hoping for another solo Superman movie, I hope it starts with him and Batman playing chess... in costume.

You guys killed Jimmy tho

They'll just retcon that by saying a CIA agent stole his identity.

 

[Rootbeer]

I know a lot of people are groaning right now, and while prospects might not look that hot given what we've seen from the last three films in the DCEU... it's still totally salvagable.

I'd love to see them give us a great Superman film that channels all the best aspects we love about him with Henry Cavill in the role.

My hope is that with his resurrection in Justice League, he will be more Superman like than he was in Man of Steel (not really counting BvS because I don't feel he got a lot of time to really 'be' superman in that)

 

[Ashhong]

Where is Icon? Is he ok?

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

The fact they are acknowledging they haven't got the character right yet is encouraging to me.

And yet it's hilarious that they're talking about this for what's considered the third and usually final movie in a series, lol.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

The first one was one of the worst movies i have ever seen

As much as I hated both SS and BvS, trust me, you haven't even seen a glimpse at how bad filmmaking can get.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

But Supes is...you know...

 

[Atomic Odin]

Please have a scene of him shaving his face with his laser eye beam nonsense.

Legit

 

[richiek]

Please do a complete reboot, don't let Zack Snyder anywhere near it.

Spoiler

I know it's not going to happen.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Cavill shoud be bald by then. Bald Superman will be a sight to behold.

Christopher Reeve wore a wig

 

[Dirtyshubb]

I feel like I'm one of the select few people that loved MoS. It's got its fair share of problems but I genuinely don't get the hatred

Don't worry, i loved it too.

It may not have been a 'traditional' superman movie but it actually wasn't meant to be but instead one of how would Clark be if this was based in the real world. He was inexperienced, had self doubt not only about his role in the world but how the world would treat him and I love it all they're for it.

 

[torre_avenue]

2 questions.

How will WB fuck up "Return of Superman" now?

Are we getting Steel, Superboy, Cyborg Superman, and the other edgelord Superman-wannabe?

 

[Atomic Odin]

Please do a complete reboot, don't let Zack Snyder anywhere near it.

Spoiler

I know it's not going to happen.

Wasn't Snyder supposed to be finished with DCEU after JL anyway?

 

[johnnydrama]

Fuck yeah!

 

[Dash_Riprock]

DC is owned by WB, so I can't see how that would be possible...

Huh? WB owns DC. They are not Fox/Sony.

I thought Supes was a special case and if they don't make a film the rights go back to the family of the original creators:

[CREMSteve]

Awesome! Love me some Superman movies and Man of Steel was the best one yet.

Can't wait!

Just get rid of Emo-Supes and we're good to go.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

[icespide]

killing him in BvS was just so freaking stupid. they aren't even pretending that anyone thinks he's gone for good

That was settled down in 2012.

 

[JSevere]

"getting the character right for audiences is of tantamount importance"

better be

get a good director and writer too

 

[Secret Character]

Villain ideas? Villain ideas...

Brainiac is a big one, but ultimately I feel as though it would be a tough one to swallow for a single movie. Maybe an introduction to him?

Parasite would be a good one to have for a one-off villain. I mean, life-draining would be a good power for Sups to deal with right have his regeneration.

Metallo would be a neat one too. We've seen that Kryptonite exists, so why not get a cyborg to run off the the stuff?

Atomic Skull would be a fun one. Lots of cool CGI and you can add a mild horror vibe to the film.

Bizarro would have been cool, but they've already done the big Kryptonian bad-guy twice now. Save Bizarro for a reboot or something...

Of course, my real choice is Vartox...

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Reboot happened ,BvS spoilers,

Spoiler

with his death.

Guys, you gotta have a little failt. You will get your Superbore who saves kittens soon enough.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Of course they did, its the best movie of the DCEU!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

1. Please be good.
2. Please get the character right.

 

[jon bones]

Jimmy is dead, Lex is completely miscast...

so how do they fix this?

-maybe stick with 1 villain and actually do him right - Brainiac could be fun.

-don't let Snyder within 1000 feet of the movie - so someone else can make it bright and bold and optimistic.

-retcon UE out of existence, bring a new actor in as Jimmy Olsen

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Why wouldn't they, it's currently their only success in every way

 

[Glass]

This needs to do what The Winter Soldier did for Captain America.

Keep Synder well away.

 

[ExVicis]

Will they at least stop screwing around and actually put a decent director and screenwriter and just let them do their thing with no exec interference?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

That was settled down in 2012.

That would explain a lot.

I'd personally be okay with an adaptation of Superman vs The Elite.

Otherwise Brainiac or Mongul would be great. Please no Metallo

 

[curb]

I really enjoyed MoS and BvS. I will gladly watch more.

 

[HStallion]

He is Lex Luthor...

Yeah and he was terrible.

 

[Glory Fades]

I liked Man of Steel, it was rough in a lot of ways but it showed promise. So far they have yet to deliver on that promise whatsoever. Hopefully they get it right with this one because I do think Henry Cavill is a good fit for Superman.

I do too, I really ant them to give him a meaty script, where he can show everything hes got.

It all starts with the writing, It has to be tight and well written.

 

[Truant]

The first one was great. Then we got to earth and it sucked for like two hours.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Who the hell cares about Jimmy Olsen? Am I missing something?

 

[BTM]

Umm, hell yes

 

[Vengal]

He is Lex Luthor...

I thought he was Alexander Luthor Jr,

that was their way to have an out if they wanted.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Yeah and he was terrible.

He really was. I understand why would cast a Eisenberg type as a modern-day billionaire, but It's just bad.

 

[Shaanyboi]

But a person close to the project told TheWrap that Superman is a top priority for the studio and getting the character right for audiences is of tantamount importance.

Imagine they had done this from the get go, how good these movies could've been...

*sigh*

 

[Ahasverus]

Luthor Sr died.

 

[rrc1594]

So much this

 

[andythinkpad]

So more Snyder, more Henry Cavill, more Amy Adams, more large scaled building destruction (but they are empty!).

I don't even like Zuckerberg Lux, there is nothing I loo forward to.

 

[The Cretan]

There are two empty slots in DCEU, one on 2018 and the other on 2019. Man of Steel 2 is one of them and Batman the other one, most probably. Also, if that's the case, Geoff Johns and Jon Berg will be the producers, so I expect it to be good.
