The Rock to play LOBO! Whaaaaattttt??!!!

Those people probably think The Avengers is also one of the best movie ever made too.

Understandable yet still unfair to judge a film before we see any evidence in that it would suck or not

iv yet to see faster is it good? but yes i may have jumpt the gun a bit lol i dont think dc needs to stop makeing movies the new superman looks good and im 99% TDKR is going to be good for what its worth i like most the dc movies more then the marvel movies.

I wouldn't consider it to be The Rock's best film but it definitly was the most darkest of his films. It's worth it to see The Rock do something thats kinda out of the norm when you look at his other works and if you are a fan of revenge movies. In closing it's a nice little popcorn flick if you need something to watch on a boring day.

I grew up with DC films, ever since the Reeve Superman movies, so you could understand why I sounded a little defensive when it came to DC Films. I admit they have their share of stinkers also but they have their share of good ones aswell. I am curious about TDKR because I'm interested in how they will end it before DC does a Batman reboot

You didn't have to copy and paste the whole page.

The Rock as Lobo doesn't seem like a surprise, he seems like the kind of safe & easy casting I would kind of expect.

Now that he edited his you can now do the same to yours!
I always heard fans volunteering the Rock for the role of many heroes so if this pans out I'll be safe. He'll have his one superflop and I'll be spared the possibility of him being cast as Luke Cage, Namor or something even more unfitting in my beloved Marvel U.

So thanks to The Avengers making fun of DC Superhero films, before they came out, before we see any stills or trailers to get a fair judgement, is every poster's favorite trend here? Ok

Trolling is an internet trend that will never die.
Anyways you can't blame people for being negative about the DC cinematic universe.
They just haven't been as consistently good as Marvel Studios:Avenger Phase 1 stuff.

I've read comments, concerning the rumored Justice League film, from other posters stating that DC should stop making movies because of their not so great track record and even went as far as to say how Marvel Studios track record is far superior. I understand the frustration in DC making comic movies that sounds promising on paper but in turn becomes a steaming pile of disappointment but at the end of the day I still hope they would make a good comic book movie. Probably not 100% faithfull but at least to the point where I walk out feeling I've got my monies worth. Also it's still a little too early to judge on if this movie will suck or not.

I also get your opinion on The Rock now. There are casting choices in comic book films I felt were a little off but most of the time they tend to make the role work. The Rock could be one of those actors, the one movie IMO I've felt he wasn't playing as The Rock is Faster.

Marvels Studios track record is far superior.
They have a short history and only had 5 out of 6 successful movies. They've had 4 out of 6 movies with good critic ratings.
They dared to do something that had never been done before in cinema. They delivered.

Just because old Superman films win nostalgia points and Nolan's Batman is brilliant does not excuse the lack of faith in adapting more properties and the general level of competence we've seen when they try something different GL.

Maybe WB is to DC as Fox and Sony can be to Marvel so my judgments might be unfair until there is a DC Studios.

Rock just doesn't seem layered enough for such character acting. He can deliver lines straight and he can deliver lines in a unserious manner but I've never seen him overextend himself acting wise.
I always feel like I'm witnessing the same basic character. I don't believe in any of his emotions apart from anger and amusement. I don't know much about Lobo but he seems much more nuanced than what the Rock can accomplish.

Pointing out that people are quick to call fail on every DC announced movie just because The Avengers became a goldmine to Marvel isn't considered trolling. Sorry for not jumping on the anti-DC films bandwagon as I'm all for hoping a comic book movie is good. Not hoping it will fail.

....ok.. My OPINION on this is I am not for it... WHY?
Because it screams to me that by putting the Rock in it it just means that they makers don't feel the movie can stand on its own with out some "Big Star" recognition going for it.
And the Rocks track record with movies where he is the Star isn't really that great.
Now on Peytons side of it.. Sure this might be his way to try and get into something more "mature,or dark' then some of his previous flicks.

But on the other hand. This is the WB and this isn't a batman or superman movie.... This is a project that is doomed to fail.

I pray for a good LOBO animated from the DC/WB animation studio.

Just what is wrong for them trying something different other than Superman and Batman? Not an attack just wondering why are some people against that idea?

I blame the WB Ineptiduid bein allowed to get in the way more then they will do with Superman.

Examples...Green Lantern. Steel.
The WB Suits who relie way to much on stupid focus studies and decrepit studies down by fossils from the 50's.

Lobo is white like a sheet, should have got sheamus.

64k+ post with that kind of reading comprehension?

Not you, the internet in general. Meaning that anything someone might get defensive about is a target of trolling, such as idiotic Marvel versus DC attitudes and the entire not being able to like more than one brand at a time.

Anyways I'm sure Rock as Lobo would end up like Cage as GR.
I'd end up having to defend that something being bad is more than just an opinion and deal with blind fanboys that will defend an inferior product despite below 30% on the tomato meter and subpar quality.

Whatever on that first post.

All I'm saying is couldn't we just wait till some production stills come out or a trailer before we judge a film harshly? Besides the "blind fanboys" who defend an inferior product is called people with a different opinion than you.
