Eh, I kinda believe if they cared about that at all they would have known who they were hiring. Execs probably couldn't care less how a film reviews as long as it does well at the BO
Huh, interesting. I had no idea the script was out there. I remember seeing some storyboards or something. Wasn't Tower of Babel Waid though?
It was.
Thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow.

If anything, I don't expect Snyder to go on a big Alex Proyas-esque meltdown.

Well, looka like Zootopia is the better choice then, UK homies.
Would love to see the panic in WB offices. fingers pointing in all directions.

LEL @ the PS4 still selling like crack part.
if Nolan wanted to do a another superhero movie, he'd be doing it. He can pretty much do whatever he wants now

Pretty sure he's moved on from the capes for good. I mean, who knows. But he seems done.

Wait until the studio drops him and he has to figure out what he's going to do for the next 5 years that isn't DC movies.

Heh, go figure, what a fucking concept!

Nolan is definitely going to do his own thing. He may have had a larger hand in Man of Steel but when the universe stuff started having a bigger presence I bet he skedaddled. Syncopy will probably still be involved moving forward I bet.
I have to disagree, at least to some extent. Snyder clearly has an enormous appreciation for the various themes/ideas/concepts of comic books, it's just that he does not give the scenes room to breath, he does not put them in the appropriate context. As a result his movies the scenes feel jarring.
Let's take the church scene from Man of Steel. It's a really nice idea in concept, but in the movie Superman just randomly decides to visit some random priest, who never appears again.

Is it too early to call this the worst movie of all time and state that anyone involved in this in any way should never work in the movie industry ever again?

That's why I want to know how many movies Henry Cavill signed on to do. This can't be good for his career. With no announcement of a second Superman movie, and Ben getting all the praise. I wonder if is he question his Superman role, or he can just be like fuck being A-list actor I'm getting paid.

For those curious, here's some production stuff from Justice League: Mortal
So the movie wasn't meant to be 'good', but to be 'good enough' to shove in peoples faces.

Wtf is going on lol this isnt the worst film of all time.
Who would replace Snyder on the production level though? It's not just about directing JL, it's also about having someone mapping out the universe and planning the other films. Is anyone even interested in stepping into this shit at this point? It's already so established, and commitments have been made. The directors people float around like George Miller sure as fuck aren't going to be interested in wasting years of their lives planning films for other directors.

Watchmen's reviews weren't that bad. Wasn't a critical darling, but I wouldn't say it was panned either.
Indeed. That one shows that you can tackle big serious films and entertain with great characters, while keeping it kid friendly too.
Or Snyder just liked when that happened in Daredevil comics and decided to pilfer it.
That's my point. He just likes the images.
This is the catch too. If he didn't take up the cape, he would have been the next Bond. They liked him, just thought he was too young and typically people they want and drop out at one point. Always get the call back.

That wouldn't be the worst thing to happen IMHO and Bewkes is open to sell.
As of now, though, I gotta say things go on as planned.
I don't know, but he is one I feel very sorry for. I don't even know, or care, what the general consensus is on this, but I think he is actually a hell of a Superman. It's just too bad that the guy was given pure crap to work with.
I'm also pissed off about all of this because my wife is a huge fan of his. She HATES superhero movies, can't stand them. However, because she likes him so much she actually agreed to see MoS in the theater with me and we plan to see BvS this weekend. That's insane for her to want to see a movie like this with me, and I had a free ticket for her to go see all of them that he was a part of, haha.

Getting excited by all these negative reviews. Honestly, I'm excited at the thought of this dark universe. "More pessimistic than Anti-Christ"? Sign me the fuck up.
Oh yeah, I like Frank Millers Allstar Batman and Robin so this is probably right up my alley.

I've actually been surprised that DC didn't snatch up Smith after Avengers 1. Given WB/DC playing catch up, them saying "Well, Avengers was done by a comic geek, lets get one to do our films too!". Not saying Smith would be good, it just seems like the knee-jerk reaction that would have been made.

Geoff Johns, maybe? I thought he was already supposed to have involvement with the shadowy cabal known as the DCCU braintrust.

I don't think I could take two and a half hours of Smith anymore, I'm not as young as I used to be.

Man hasn't made a decent movie in over a decade. That said, his script would probably be great, just make sure to keep the polar bears and gay R2-D2

I did a bit of a horrified double take there, too. I've been trying to keep away from spoilers. I'm okay with BvS being shit, but not DS3!

I'm not sure he can make that sort of commitment. His job is still primary at DC proper.

This is what I was asking a couple pages back.
Like, how do you find someone to step into this and take over, without resetting the entire thing?
It's going to be extremely difficult for them to build out their own vision when so much of Zack's is already put in place
