Hey, it's a new thread! Fishylungs has been M.I.A. most of the past year, so I'm taking over duties (yes, I've asked a mod). Before we go any further:

Vargo posted:

You know what? Here's a new rule. Let's just go with a general "Don't be a creep" rule. This means don't act like an actress' breasts are a seperate person, don't obsess over whether a woman's body is "right" to play a superhero, don't say that women could stand to lose a few pounds, make ironic sexist remarks at your own risk, basic simple stuff. (Don't tell us what you masturbate to.)

If you want to say how good-looking an actress or actor is, go ahead, but don't be a creep about it, and at least try to have something else mor substantial to contribute to the discussion.

Now, the basis for this thread, like the previous ones, it to discuss movies based on comic books. They can be anything, past present and future, but individual threads are usually made for new movies when it gets closer to the film's release date and/or hype intensifies. Here are future releases, grouped by studio/universe and with links to corresponding threads when they are made:

That's a lot of superheroes! I'd also like to remind you that you are in Cinema Discusso. Not Batman's Shameful Secret, not the TV IV, Cinema Discusso. If you make a post in this thread about action figures, it had better have something to do with a movie. So keep on point, and remember: every comic book movie website is terrible, so don't go there unless you have to.

If I missed anything, please tell me and I'll add it to the OP.

Detective No. 27 posted:

The name "Captain Marvel" has a long weird legal history. As I remember, DC owns the character, but not the trademark for "Captain Marvel." They can refer to him as "Captain Marvel" within the contents of the books as much as they want. Which is why they've been using "SHAZAM!" on the covers dating back to the 70s when they were merely licensing the character. The New 52 change seems to have been made to simplify it for everyone. The wizard these days is still named Shazam, but he's usually just referred to as "The Wizard" or "The Wizard Shazam."

Not to mention that if Marvel Comics doesn't use a character named Captain Marvel after a while, the trademark goes to DC.

The MCU was a hard launch in 2008, while the DCEU was a soft launch in 2013. The time between Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk was two months, while the time between Man of Steel and BvS is close to three years.

I figured they'd have at least two Green Lanterns (because of the 'Corps' in the title), but three Green Lanterns is interesting. Guessing that it would be a Raynor origin story with Jordan and Stewart supporting.

I hope those Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey rumors are true, that sounds promising.

Hey! X-Men: Apocalypse is opening Friday. What are the chances it doesn't hit number one due the combination of middling press and CACW?

e: Oh, it opens the 27th. Nevermind.

His version of Ray Palmer/Atom was also originally meant to be Blue Beetle before WB wants to save the character for a movie (rumored to be written by Arrow/Flash showrunner Greg Berlanti). It explains why he looks like budget Iron Man.



I think that one is justified by Allen and Garrick being from different realities.

Supergirl doesn't take place in the Arrowverse, either.

Ambushing Deadshot in a narrow alley really does seem like the optimal way to take him out. On the other hand, he probably has a minigun stowed away in whatever condo he's living in ala Ben Affleck's character in The Accountant.
