All the Marvel stuff looks amazing, the DC stuff looks pretty good. It's going to be a great year for entertainment.

I used to love Darkwing Duck. Hopefully all these movies are as awesome as their trailers!

Saw this on Reddit earlier (NSFW)



I want a WonderMan movie now.

And DC continues to make stupid decisions regarding its comics. No wonder Marvel is destroying them.

That was from an older article and it they verified at SDCC that it is a standalone movie within the DCEU but the story will not tie into the main Justice League or other solo films. The interesting thing to me (and in a good way) is that DC is doing Elseworlds Films that deal with one-off comics or stories like the Scorcese produced Joker movie, and I hear they are shopping Red Son which is a really cool alternate Superman universe.

If it DOES turn out to be true and The Batman is just it's own thing with a new actor then that would be pretty dumb. I do like the DCEU with spin-offs idea though, keeps things fresh and not contained with one storyline which is where Marvel gets some hiccups sometimes. I think it's awesome how all the TV shows, Movies, etc. tie into one another but it can also handcuff them to make sure solo stuff fits in with the bigger picture. Either approach works for me as long as they put out quality stuff. It's crazy how much I do not care about Fox's X-Men series anymore outside of the awesome Logan movie. And Sony really needs to stop doing anything Spider-Man related and leave it to the pros at Marvel.

Batman is god.

This plus a cool detective story? Yes please:

Final Justice League trailer. Can't wait!

I enjoyed Wonder Woman because my wife was able to enjoy it with me. She hasn’t enjoyed Dark Knight or BM vs SM because of the dark nature.

I'll have to watch this. Wife mentioned she wanted to watch it.

It was worth $2. I don’t care if I see it again, but it’s not very often my wife will enjoy a DC movie with me. Overall it had a fairly positive message.

Looks like DC's plan was to start the series of movies dark then bring all the characters "back to the light". Wonder Woman was the first part of that and Justice League will be a continuation of it. Wonder Woman reminded me a lot of the original Superman movie, it even had callbacks to some scenes in that movie. Very pure super hero movie.

Word seems to be spreading that "Ragnarok" is the best Marvel movie yet. A friend of mine said it was so good she is going to see it again in theaters.

Saw it tonight. Solid with some good laughs but won't crack my top 3 of Marvel movies. Some really kick-ass visuals and Cate Blanchett was sexy as hell as Hera. Personally I think both Spider-man Homecoming and GOTG Vol 2 > Thor Ragnarok but I can see why many people dig it right now. It will be interesting to see how it holds up on a repeat viewing for me, but for now I'd put it somewhere in the upper middle of the pack of the MCU.

Critics already destroying Justice League in their reviews. I wonder if this is some of the reason why Affleck is thinking about leaving the Batman character.
