There were good things; Batman looked the amazing. His costume was the best it ever has been. And the Batmobile was great. Supes amd WW all looked good. Aquaman looked good.
That might be it.
That might be it.

I thought there was too much exposition and not enough actual Batman and Superman in the film. I remember it being reported Superman only had something like 40 lines of dialogue, which is ridiculous. Even with an extra 30 minutes of film in the extended version, it was just more story with not much additional stuff with Batman and Superman in costume. Some stuff made more sense sure, but for a movie about Batman and Superman there wasn't enough of either to justify the money spent on making the film.
I'd have much rather saw a film that focused more on Superman and Batman and supporting characters I actually care about like Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, and maybe another reporter like Vicki Vale.

Jimmy Olsen was apparently the government agent that was murdered at the beginning of the film and they just didnt tell us. Sounds legit. That's classic Jimmy!Comment

I remembered reading that, which was so freakin stupid. Supposedly there was a female Jimmy Olsen in the Man of Steel film but I've yet to watch the movie in it's entirety.
You can't expect me to believe they can get the main protagonists right when they can't even make the supporting cast somewhat recognizable. I'd be fine with a black guy as Perry White or a female Olsen, but give us more of them than just one or two brief scenes.

The Jimmy Olsen thing was so badly done. You kill off a principal character of the superman mythos without even naming him? And change his story so much hes not even recognizable? Perry may be black, but at least he acts recognizably as Perry. Olsen was like a middle finger to fans.Comment

‘Green Lantern Corps’ May Be Directed by David S. Goyer
Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment already have Aquaman shooting this year, taking the December release date vacated by Avatar 2. But they also hope to have another piece of the DC Expanded Universe in front of cameras before the end of the year. One of the less likely options was Green Lantern Corps, a film that doesn’t have a director (just like The Flash), but there may be one waiting in the wings.
A new rumor indicates that Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice writer David S. Goyer, who is co-writing Green Lantern Corps with Justin Rhodes, might end up directing Green Lantern Corps.
The Tracking Board reporter Jeff Sneider mentioned the Green Lantern Corps director possibility during a recent episode of Meet the Movie Press, the podcast that he co-hosts each week. Here’s what Sneider had to say on the show:
“I’m hearing David Goyer could very well wind up directing Green Lantern Corps himself. When you look at screenwriters that are taking the plunge and directing these movies themselves, we saw rumors last month that Simon Kinberg was going to direct the next X-Men movie. David Goyer is responsible for this entire DC Universe, he wrote Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. He wrote Man of Steel, he is the architect, if you will. He is writing and producing Green Lantern Corps, so it’s just very well, what I have heard, one of those situations where he could be like ‘Listen, I think I may be the best guy for the job, nobody knows this like I do.'”
Though Goyer certainly has the right experience in the DC Expanded Universe, viewers who didn’t like Man of Steel or Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice might not be happy with him directing Green Lantern Corps. Of course, that depends on whether you blame him or Zack Snyder for the direction that the DC Expanded Universe is taking.
Either way, Goyer’s directing abilities leave something to be desired. Besides directing the poorly received horror thrillers The Unborn and The Invisible, he was also at the helm of Blade Trinity, widely regarded as being the worst in the franchise. Otherwise, more recently he’s stuck to television by directing a couple episodes of Flashforward and Da Vinci’s Demons. Still, you can’t deny that his work as a comic book movie writer and producer in recent years does give him a little more credibility.
For now, consider this a rumor. But as Warner Bros. Pictures continues to sort out their motion picture slate for the DC Expanded Universe, we’ll hopefully get some clarification on what’s going on with Green Lantern Corps soon.

Well I guess that's a "shoulder injury," but why not call it what it is? A torn pectoral.Last edited by Trey Strain; 03-18-2017, 01:19 PM.Comment

This is not exciting or inspiring news at all. It's actually more worrisome than anything else considering the directing track record by Goyer laid in the article.Originally posted by Hypo View PostYou just witnessed the strength of geek knowledge.

At this point, I've learned to ignore what he says on a podcast and only care about the shit that makes it to the website that pays him. lol

There is nothing new here just the 'supposed' treatment for the GLC movie that has been claimed to be false. I do NOT want Hal to be Hank Pym'd. I don't mind Hal being in Ben Affleck's age range if that is who is portraying Bruce but if they are going the Sam Elliot grizzled veteran, Road House direction, then I will actively root for this version of the DCEU's demise. I want no part of a film universe where Hal is older than my mental image of Alan Scott just to put over some younger GL in the JLA.Comment

I would prefer Hal in his thirties and John in his late 20s.Comment
