NEW LIVE ACTION BATMAN MOVIE IN 2015

[Sean]

kinda hoped they would atleast update the tumbler, but I guess he probably has a stash, kind of a running joke in all batman media that if a batmobile gets beat up badly, theres a replacement at the cave

Gob - Is this going to be the final one?

This is the final Christopher Nolan directed Batman movie. But will they be making another Batman movie within five years? You bet your ass they will be. Harry Potter is over, Batman is best franchise WB has going for it hands down. There will be a new director and cast.

Damn I really liked this group, wish they would stay together. Bale was a little over the top with the super deep voice in the Dark Knight but still fucking awsome film.

Wait I commented on a film, I better get Paloser's blessing first.

Gob, do you know if WB is still planning a 2013 JL movie? I know I read alot of rumors about it, mostly recasting everybody, and having Nolan as more of a producer

did they switch gordons or is that just the darkness of the trailer making him seem different

I know they'd like to. They're still trying to catch up to Marvel. However after Green Lantern bombed they might take a step back again. GL is still about 60 million in the red, and I don't think that even includes the HUGE marketing campaign the movie had. Huge failure. Warner Brothers had already started working on a second Green Lantern before the movie came out, but it's hard to see them going through with it now. I think future Batman and Superman films are guaranteed but outside of that, it's anyone's guess.

Edit: I just looked, and with the marketing campaign GL cost over 300 million, to date it has made ~140 million world wide. L-O-Fucking-L.

Gary Oldman plays Gordon in all three films, it's just the fact that the bootleg was filmed on a camera phone.

That's one thing DC is lacking.......superheroes outside of Batman and Superman that people are willing to go to the theaters en masse to watch.

Some people know Wonder Woman, but I doubt they would rush to the movies like when a Batman or Superman movie drops. Flash is not that well known, neither are characters like Hawk Girl, or Aquaman.

Whereas, Marvel has Spiderman, Ironman, Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Blade......just seems like people know these characters more and are easily marketable.

I mean a movie about The Joker, with just him in it would do better than Green Lantern.

Don't forget all the X-men movies, Wolverine, Men In Black (yes it was a comic before a movie, acquired by Marvel in 1994), Avengers, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and Electra. But I digress.

I think you're right. It did seem like the Green Lantern was marketed and advertised consistently for almost 2 years. It may be that these characters are lesser known, and so DC is having to spend a ton of cash to get some public recognition.

It obviously made tougher when you're releasing a superhero movie the same summer two others drop. It's especially harder when audiences want more from a super hero film. The I saved the world in 1 hour 43 minutes shtick is getting old, and I for one want more character development.

I feel if DC were to make a move toward producing a better product, audiences would respond, whether they know the character beforehand or not.

Most of the audience didn't know Blade was a comic before the movie release, I for one didn't. I doubt you'll find a lot of people that knew Men In Black was a comic before also. But the movies themselves were a better product, and audiences responded.

That's just how I see it anyhow.

DC Universe always seemed to be set in an idealistic, good vs evil, black and white kind of setting. Add to the fact that they really sort of hitched their wagon to the "Big Three" and everyone else is just kind of along for the ride and that's why they're not relevant to the reader/viewer.

Marvel always to me seemed like shades of grey, made their characters relatable to the audience in that they go through a lot of the things normal folks go through, just with the fact that they have superpowers.

To me that's the biggest reason Spider-man has always been so successful. No bigtime superhero is more identified with the everyman.

Add to that the fact that many characters got the spotlight early at around the same time. Stan Lee creates the Hulk. BANG! He creates the Fantastic Four. BANG! He creates the X-Men. And so on.

I think with the first GL, they should have focused more on Oa, and the other GLs, when Sinestro puts on the yellow ring, I really didnt care, mostly because I knew it was coming, but also because they didnt explain it all, and actually my dad and I were debating the will vs fear angle after the movie, like, we saw will can be more stronger, so why did Sinestro put the yellow (fear) ring on if he knew it could be defeated? I didnt really care for anybody in that movie.

I dont think it all has to do with how well known a certain character is. I would have never considered Thor to be one of the higher up Marvel guys, and the movie made some good cash, Iron Man wasnt all the big until the movie, IMO.I think more people know about the Hulk, but both of his movies have only been ok. And now Marvel plans to test the waters with some lower down heroes and make like 15-20 min movies around them on a small budget. DC is still planning Flash and Wonder Woman movies, and I think they need to shoot them on modest budgets. One last thing, I think Marvel is more willing to take chances on lesser known heroes, just to try and get them out there, like Blade, Ghost Rider, Kick Ass, Jonah Hex, etc

They posted the trailer on TDKR's Facebook fanpage.

Pretty cool pic I found


On the trailer, I wonder who is climbing up the wall, possibly Bats or Bane, and who is behind Bats when Bane is walking up the stairs, alot of people are thinking maybe SWAT, I think it might be another camera operator and he is a distinct color so they can remove him in the final product

 

[Swarley]

That's a pretty sweet picture.

Any superhero film can be good if they don't have someone writing the story for money. They have to be invested in the character. I was reading on GL and the head producer for DC over at WB had all the power and constantly changed things and wanted everything his way. Obviously it turned out to be awful. They actually had a slid cast but the situations and dialogue made everyone look bad.

 

[Buzzman]

Marvel at the greatness that is Tom Hardy as Bane.
