I was a little iffy about cowboy "friendly" Heath Ledger pulling off the part of The Joker, but

Posted by: clusterxxx on Dec 09, 21:00 in response to thatpj's post I disagree. You can't have a superhero movie if there is...

Holy Crap Batman, was I wrong! Goes to show if you give a great actor a great role, they can be amazing. As Ledger was in both instances. And Momoa was great asĀ Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones.

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

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

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

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