Perhaps Martian Manhunter (the other possibility THR mentions) rather than Doomsday. Rationale...

Posted by: KalElFan (a.k.a del_TOM_KalElFan) on Dec 10, 04:09 in response to Antibody's post THR: Jason Momoa is in negotiations to join the cast of...

MOS was a first contact story, but it's set in the DC Universe where there should exist, factually, three Justice League members from "Unknown" but "Local" (our Solar System) civilizations. The Amazons (Diana aka Wonder Woman) and Atlantis (Arthur aka Aquaman) are of Earth, though in this MOS incarnation they could make the Amazons descendants of Kara Zor-El. Martian Manhunter is the third, from an extinct civilization on Mars.

Both WW and MM are super-powered. So it'd make more sense to go with them and perhaps The Flash, leaving Aquaman for later. Superman/Batman would be central to the movie and I suspect any other Justice League members would have cameo+ level appearances.

If Momoa's a villain, then I agree Doomsday is perhaps his best role. If Lex Luthor is also in it as he probably should be, then perhaps Lex somehow controls/uses Doomsday -- e.g., blames the Doomsday threat on Superman while also using it to kill him.

this is really starting to sound desperate {nm} Moviesnob Dec 09, 17:53

I really like Jason. He's a nice man and a good actor. I've met him twice. I hope he gets the part. {nm} fricnfractal Dec 09, 18:05

not him. Warner. A throw it to the wall and see what sticks approach will not work here. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 09, 18:13

its becoming a shopping list and not a movie. doesnt feel like theres a plan and if this movie doesn't work, they are Universal F&F screwed {nm} Moviesnob Dec 09, 18:18

Got ya. {nm} fricnfractal Dec 09, 18:18

I disagree. You can't have a superhero movie if there is no villian. Though I am iffy on Momoa. {nm} thatpj Dec 09, 20:07

I didn't say you dont have a bad guy. I am saying you dont throw everything in but the kitchen sink just because you can. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 09, 20:40

I don't think they have much choice. If they tried the slow route like Marvel, there is risk of another GL. {nm} thatpj Dec 09, 21:03

Better to hijack another franchise. I mean on paper Batman + Superman = $$$$$. Not gonna make Nolan $ but will make $ regardless of quality. {nm} thatpj Dec 09, 21:05

you are right, its money, but if it doesn't work, then both characters are screwed for 5+ years. What other franchise does Warner have? {nm} Moviesnob Dec 09, 21:14

That's a good point, but the thing is I think WB got a bit confident because Man Of Steel was a hit despite the middling reviews. {nm} thatpj Dec 09, 21:25

it hit its margins, but I hear it fell short of their GL and thats why they are going this route {nm} Moviesnob Dec 09, 21:27

Oh. Didn't know that. Only went by numbers. {nm} thatpj Dec 09, 21:38

look at it from this perspective. MoS made 663 worldwide (not sure if this will copy & past) Moviesnob Dec 09, 21:45

Well those are difficult comps for a reboot to match! {nm} thatpj Dec 09, 22:37

this reeks of desperation (putting two of the most popular stories in one movie). There's other ways of doing this Moviesnob Dec 09, 21:12

I was a little iffy about cowboy "friendly" Heath Ledger pulling off the part of The Joker, but clusterxxx Dec 09, 21:00

That is true. I should reserve judgement till his role is actually released. He could be Cop #1 for all I know. {nm} thatpj Dec 09, 21:07

Very true. It's quite obvious you don't know anything at all clusterxxx Dec 10, 09:10

lost me at Badot {nm} lobogotti Dec 09, 18:11

*Gadot {nm} lobogotti Dec 09, 18:12

Me too, Ben Affleck was terrifying enough, but Gadot was the coup de grace for me. {nm} Filmstardust Dec 09, 19:21

They should have gone with Fassbender as Batman. {nm} GMov Dec 09, 18:47

Jimmy Olson {nm} charlie Dec 09, 17:58

Hawkman? {nm} RazorHawk Dec 09, 18:55

He would make a awsome Hawkman! NineTailFox Dec 09, 21:01

doomsday? did you say doomsday? NO! that needs to be a movie all to itself! and it needs to be done after the justice league movie! ive been horrorfanatic Dec 09, 19:19
