complaining for YEARS, long before HSX, that they needed to do a superman vs doomsday movie. and i dont mean that lame assed cartoon they did a few years back. for those who dont follow comics, doomsday was the one who "killed" superman. made national news..."superman dies". basically they beat each other to death. i dont even read superman but i followed that one, and it was one of the most awesome storylines i ever read. if they do to doomsday what they did to bane in the batman movie...grrr...they already totally ****ed up "knightfall" the storyline where bane cripples batman, the movie and the comic storyline had little to do with each other...ill take the comic every time...i know thats often the case...(x-men 3 anyone, the murder of the dark phoenix saga?)...but come on...not doomsday!! that was a storyline that made national headlines....doomsday wipes out the justice league, superman the only hope left for the world...superman gives his life saving metropolis from doomsday....and then it breaks off into a whole different storyline meant to bring superman back...all of which would make an awesome movie. i got no problem with the actor, i love game of thrones, hed be awesome...my problem is with their lack of respect to the source material and their long term goals...they have none

THR: Jason Momoa is in negotiations to join the cast of the untitled Batman-Superman movie [SUPE2] Doomsday? Antibody Dec 09, 17:35

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

Perhaps Martian Manhunter (the other possibility THR mentions) rather than Doomsday. Rationale... KalElFan Dec 10, 04:09

He's gonna be Parasite. {nm} AgentEvil Dec 10, 06:17
