Discarded Villains

There are several villains in the DC universe that may work in cartoons and comics, but for me, are not great in live action. However, with a few modifications, I think they may have a chance.

Man of Steel: The Man...(The Return)

What is the point?...Not as in, "What's the point of making this?", as in "What's the point of our story?". As of now, the rumor is WB is eyeing director Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, Kingsman, X-Men: First Class) as a top choice to helm the 'potential' MOS sequel. Let's weigh the pros and cons...

Creating Kryptonite

So we can pretty much guestimate that kryptonite will be used in this new DCU, and possibly even in BvS. But how should it be represented in this ‘realistic’, ‘grounded’ universe? I have accumulated a few incarnations as to how this could work. So let’s take a look.

The Fake BvS: DoJ Script

Well, earlier today, Kevin Smith confirmed that he did not write the "leaked" Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice script. But just in case you still wanted to check it out, the link is below.

10 LEAKED FLASH SCIPT PAGES!!!

I have found the jackpot! I have a source who has let me see the first 10 pages of a WB screenplay for a (possible) future FLASH film. Now, I am not at liberty to say who. And this version seems to have no author or date, but my source tells me it is a first draft written in late 2012. However, he was not at liberty to tell me the writer. below is a link to the pdf file.

Atlantean's: The Origin

So with the recent confirmation that Jason Momoa will play Aquaman in this new DCU,  it got me thinking; how exactly should/could he be introduced into this “realistic” DC approach? I have accumulated a few scenarios as to how, and their pros and cons. Let’s dive on in (pun intended).

I'll start by saying upfront, I’m not a huge Aquaman fan. I had/have a hard time buying him working in this DCU. So before I begin addressing his origins, let’s start with the negatives the character will already be facing.

Amazon's: The Origin

So I have briefly touched on this in the past, but I want to address it more head on (applied directly to the forehead). How should WW, and for all ‘Amazon’s’ for that matter, be introduced into a ‘realistic’, ‘believable’ DCU? I have listed a few options below, and determined their pros and cons. And let me just say, this is solely to discuss her ‘origin’. Not her powers or stupid, useless jet. Just her birth/introduction to the world. Let’s do it to it.

Top 5 Greatest CBM Performances

The title says it all. This is my list of the top 5 best performances we have seen of a character in a CMB. But first, my honorable mentions.

Superman’s Suit; Why The Color?

I just have a quick question to pose to you fine readers. And let me just say, this is probably my most geeked-out article yet. In Man of Steel, why exactly is Kal’s suit the color that it is? Now the obvious reason is: “Because it’s Superman…Duh.” Fair point. But being a super-nerd, I would like to delve into why this may be. I like to call this ‘The Kryptonion Theory’.

3 Future Batman Villains

So we know solo Batman films are coming in the next few years. With that in mind, I thought I would compile a list of worthy counterparts for the Caped Crusader. My top 3 villains that I would like to see, and could work very well in this new DCU.

Let me start by saying the greatest foe, Joker, will be reimagined in this universe. So with that in mind, I left him off of this list.

Today's Wonder Woman Pt. 2

So in in the first "Today's Wonder Woman" article, I raised a few questions and theories about the Wonder Woman character. But then I thought to myself, what about Diana Prince? WW's alter ego. How should she be treated in this new DCU adaptation? Let's take a look shall we.

My Trailers

Here are my fan-made trailers for a few DC characters, and their future films. They include a new Green Lantern, Flash, and a couple MOS 2 clips. Below are their links. I claim no ownership towards any of the material. Enjoy.

MOS 2 BvS: High Hopes

I have compiled a list of the top 5 things that the Man of Steel sequel (May 6, 2016) could/may do to improve the story. And I will try to go beyond the obvious. Let's dive right into it.

Well first off, let me mention the items left off of the list, simply because they have been speculated so much.

Nightwing In The DCU…?

With any movie, especially a Batman vs Superman movie, its inevitable that rumors spread like wildfire. So I am going to address one that has fans split down the middle. And for good reason. The presence, or lack thereof, of Nightwing. And even though the RUMOR is he may be a part of this new DCU, I am going to address the pros and cons of the character. But first, who is Nightwing?

The Justice League Article

I thought instead of writing several, separate articles about this one major story, I figured I would write one that sums it all up. So let's jump right on in.

Perspective
Yes, we have all of these wonderful DC/WB announcements coming our way at the moment, but  let's just keep one thing in mind... It's only a movie. Now to many/most of us it represents more than just another multi-million dollar film, but at the end of the day it is all just people playing pretend. So let's keep our heads cool. We can debate and have fun with ideas, but let's not get carried away with it all.

Aborted DC Movie Scripts (Thank goodness they were!)

So we know in the past Warner Bros. has tried, and failed, at several DC property film projects. So below you will find links for a few of these films scripts. Some of you may have heard of the Justice League Movie that was canned only weeks before shooting began. Or the Aborted Superman film that went through a barrage of screen writers, including Kevin Smith, that was going to star Nicholas Cage as Supes, and to be directed by Tim Burton. Or before he co-wrote the 2011 beloved Green Lantern (joke), Michael Goldenberg wrote a Wonder Woman flick. Well I have all of that and more.

Best News Of MOS 2 So Far

Yes, we know the Man of Steel sequel will feature Batman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, and Alfred. But as awesome as that all is, the latest confirmed news about MOS 2 is the return of composer Hans Zimmer.

Hans has done it all, and is THE name in CBM films today. I contend he should have been nominated for an Oscar for his work in Man of Steel. I actually bought the deluxe version of the MOS soundtrack...it's so good!

And yes Zimmer had previously scored the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy, and had his doubts about returning to the character. But it is official, Zimmer's epic score will continue in MOS!


Let me know what you think about this. Did you like the MOS score? Comment below. Thanks for reading.

Jesse Eisenburg as Lex Luthor

So with the mixed reactions following the Eisenburg as Lex Luthor casting, I thought I would give some of my examples as to why this is a very good choice. Now obviously many were hoping for a Brian Cranston (I liked John Hamm myself) for the role, but thinking about this character realistically in today’s culture, I believe this casting decision makes loads of sense. Let’s see why.

How Nolan Saved & Destroyed the DCU

So as we know, WB/DC is far behind Marvel in the cinematic universe. We also know that director Christopher Nolan gave us an amazing Batman trilogy. However, as good as those films were, they also would become the demise of DC/WB with developing their own shared DCU.  So let’s take a look as to why.

How To Obtain Marvel Status

Now, I have mentioned this thorughout several posts. But, I figured since I have only just touched on this subject, why not do a full spread on the issue. We all know that when it comes to the newly established CBM universes, Marvel has the head start. And besides them, there are 3 other major players who want to have the success that Marvel is having. So let's look at what those other companies (Mainly WB) can do to have not only the financial, but critical success the Marvel films are producing.
