Warner Bros. Finds "Justice League" Screenplay Writer

[Fast]

EXACTLY, Legato. This conversation was summed up quite beautifully.



Responsibility? It's not that serious. Chill. Besides, if you're only counting the Marvel Studios banner films then you have to count Hulk too. Which SUCKED. It may not count in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which theoretically it should because Incredible Hulk was a sequel despite what fanboys think) but they still own the rights so your precious Marvel isn't without blemish. By the way, Marvel Studios agrees with Legato and myself. Just sayin'.

For comparison's sake Beenox is making a new Spider-Man game corresponding to the ASM movie coming out. Looking at their track record to guess how this game will be you look at Shattered Dimensions and Edge of time (and maybe non-spidey games like monsters v aliens) you don't look at other spider-Man games like Spider-Man 2 made by Treyarch. At least that is how I look at it.

werent GHOST RIDER 2, and Punisher War Zone..after Iron man.

Both Ghost Riders were done by Sony, and both Punishers were done by Lionsgate.

do we discount that

Yes.

Also the Hulk movies were meh..both of them

No, one was meh, the other flat out suck.

I mean dont we also got to discount the good movies like BLADE and spiderman then

Yes.

Responsibility? It's not that serious. Chill.

I would advise the same for you, as you seem to be getting real caught up in this.

Besides, if you're only counting the Marvel Studios banner films then you have to count [I]Hulktoo. Which SUCKED.

Yes, it did suck, and no, we aren't counting it for this reason;

It may not count in the [I]Marvel Cinematic Universe

Not may, it just doesn't count. While Marvel, or technically Avi Arad who was Marvel's CEO at the time, was a producer on most of the films, he didn't have what you might say, actual power. I mean, he couldn't tell Bryan Singer if he didn't put said character in the X-films, he would shut down production, because didn't have that kind of power.

(which theoretically it should because Incredible Hulk was a sequel despite what fanboys think)

Its not about what fanboys think, its what is shown and is told to us by the people who made it. Gale Anne Hurd, who produce both Hulk films, has said that its not really a sequel, but its not really a robot either. While Ed Norton, who star and wrote the vast majority of the movie, has said he just igonre Ang Lee's Hulk movie. Given how the second movie starts, I would say it pretty much wasn't a sequel.

but they still own the rights so your precious Marvel isn't without blemish.

Like I said, you should follow your own advice in chilling out. And yes, Marvel does now own the rights to the Hulk, but that was after Universal gave it back to them.

By the way, Marvel Studios agrees with Legato and myself. Just sayin'.

I'm sorry, but did you even bother reading your own link.

I would like to think you know the difference between co-productions and Independent productions is.

As for the actual topic, put me in the camp of, I'll believe it when I see it. Meaning, when I actually see an official trailer of the movie, then I will believe it. Otherwise, this is just the same as the last JL movie they tried to do. Close by no cigar.

So the Warner Bros. president thinks “To go forward we need to make it a little edgier and darker with more emphasis on action." will solve the problems.

Since what works for Batman works for every hero.

Poor WB, you have no clue at all...

What's that saying about everything looking like a nail when all you've got is a hammer? This isn't even the first time WB's tried to go down this road with the DC characters.

According to Sam Raimi, he did on "Spider-Man 3" as it was Arad's decision to have Venom in that film and Sony backed him up on it. Raimi wanted the Vulture and was overruled.

Actually, the bold part is the reason Avi got his way and Raimi didn't. Like I said, Avi lent his ideas for the movies, but unless the Studio who owns the rights backs him, he doesn't have any actual power.

Well they made Green Lantern light hearted and it underperformed.

[Chiasm]

N/m . . . . . . .

[The Batman]

Sure, but not because it was "light hearted."

[Tobias March]

Sure, but not because it was "light hearted."

True, but you can imagine the great logicians of the internet claiming that is the reason.

"Superheroes need to be badass and dark" goes the cry. In fact, here's a quote from another website on just this topic -

when first created, comic book super heroes were dark and violent, comics were originally “intended” to replace mainstream novels, & give art teams more bank. -i see this trend as a GOOD THING. its supposed to be serious. not colorful, nor funny. i wont buy a book, comic book, or a dvd about silliness. i likewise wont go see a film, with a light hearted tone, involving my fave heroes & villains. most “good” comic book characters come from a dark place…& the stories about them, should remain mostly DARK & somewhat realistic. we have disney for light-hearted b.s.

Yeah I just listened to the How did this get made podcast where Lexi the director of Punisher War zone was on their. She specifically stated that Marvel was barely involved and that most of her involvement was with Lionsgate. They gave some input now and then and she talked with Feige but Lionsgate was the 'Man' there.

Man, that's kinda funny and kinda sad. One thing's for sure, if he ever looks back on it once he grows up, the kid that wrote that is probably gonna feel embarrassed.

Well, that's fine, those people have no souls...or clues how to write anything other than angry emo fan fic.

You're assuming that poster was a minor....brrrr.

[Alex]

Come on guys, don't you remember when everything became dark and gritty in comics? That worked out didn't it?
Didn't it?
Guys with Blood in their name and stuff...
