DCU General Discussion Thread

To be fair, if they start with Tim, they can still do Damian eventually. In fact, that’s part of the reason why I think Tim is a better starting point. They can save Damian until Clark and Lois are at a point where they can have Jon, and then we can get Super Sons in the DCU.
Yeah Super sons is a great opportunity on a lot of fronts. Especially a movie geared towards kids could prove to be a massive box office success. Currently with Skydance wanting to buy WB, DCU could get shelved if anything flops.

Worst of all Netflix maybe eyeing up WB so if that happens, forget seeing DC on the big screen.

If I'm being honest, I want the Batfamily to come later. I want movies with the focus on Batman, at least at first. That's one of the things that annoyed the hell out of me in the DCAMU. We got one film where Batman was THE focus. Just one. All the other supposed Batman films (meaning with the focus on Gotham so Justice League Dark doesn't count) were more about the Batfamily with Batman going along the way or just playing the role of side protagonist. I want the opposite. I want Batman to be the main protagonist and the Batfamily to be the side protagonists. That's also why I love the Long Halloween adaptations. No Robin, no Batgirl. We start with Bats as the focus and he stays that way even with allies introduced later. Now it's not that I don't want the Batfamily or that they just be there to be there with no important role, they should definitely be important, but to me, Batman must be the main protagonist.

And about the movie itself, knowing Gunn's love for assholes, I bet it's still Damian. Him or Jason. Would be interesting to see a young Jason Todd meeting with Batman and becoming Robin. I would like a storyline over several films/series (maybe two) where Jason grows as a person and vigilante. It would be an interesting thing we barely saw in other adaptations of the character. And it would make the inevitable and what followed all the more tragic (let's be honest, like Harvey and half of his body, if Jason appears in anything, there's basically a 95% chance the clown will draw out the crowbar, it's like THE most well-known thing about him. Which I would actually enjoy in a way since I always wanted a live-action version of this. Just to see how far they would go. Though I doubt they would go as far as Arkham Knight did).
 
Ok but let's ask the important question here. Trunks or No Trunks for batsuit ?

My Opinion - Superman works with Trunks because you can see Clark decided to wear it to look friendly and like a wrestler. However Bruce wearing trunks makes no sense. One it doesn't fit his personality and he is supposed to be scary to criminals. And the Batsuit isn't put together by his Mom (because she is dead), it's one of the best low profile armor tech in DC costing millions of dollars.

So my solution is to color it in a way that it looks a trunk while still being a part of a high tech bodysuit. Like how Arkham Origin suit does it.

He is not wearing trunks but the color and the fabric separation gives it the shape of one.

Also the suit needs to look plated and high quality to justify bullet resistance and durability.

I'm a trunks, medium length ear, Blue and Grey batsuit, with yellow around the bat symbol enjoyer. Its my ideal batman and I hope this time it isn't a super armored suit like all the others
 
Unlike with Clark, I don’t have a strong opinion on if Bruce should have the trunks or not. As long as the suit looks good, I’m fine with it. Although I would definitely prefer a suit that looks less like armor this time.

That would be almost Clooney level of campy. Also what others ? The only Armored suit in LA is Batman 2022. DCEU has a very fabric suit while TDK has a spandex style suit. Arkham has armored suit and they are some of the best batman suits ever made.
 
Hmm. I guess would be better to start with a cloth like armor and then eventually upgrade it with high tech components as he faces stronger threats.

The Nolan movies were an armored padded suit, Batfleck had the metal armored suit vs superman and in Flash, and then Battinson had a full armored suit too, I don't want that anymore fornthe DCU

Its batman bro🤷‍♂️ let bro wear his best colors

Metal armored suit was their for the superman fight and it is comic accurate to TDKR comics. You can't just pull up fight superman in your undies.

The flash suit looked bad but the movie was ass what do you expect.

Do you mean the Old Burton symbol like the yellow oval and the batsymbol in middle or the new comics Batman logo with yellow outline. Because I hate that yellow outline.

it's looks a video game dlc suit. A bad one.
 
Why don't we just use the same kind of color as the best Batman?

There's a trunk but it's not that silly, there's a bit of color on it but black and grey remain more proeminent (as they should) and with a touch of dark blue inside the cape, it makes it all the better.

That, or:

The second best Batman. Only grey and black, still more colorful than most suits, tactical but not too armored (I do think the gauntlets should be), there's trunk but it's badass. Best Batman suit for me
 
Alternate Augie is not at all what I expected him to be. I really don't know what to think of him, now.

Jesus, that ending was ROUGH man. God damn.
Man I was just about to type here too, what a wild episode but yeah idk really what to think of him like very mixed feelings but I believe its supposed to be intentional that you question him here

It's like a triple twist. You think he's good, then you realize it's a nazi world and so you think oh he must be bad, and then it turns out no, actually, he may genuinely have been good? I gotta admit, James, ya actually got me on this one. Well done.

I saw theories around the time Episode 3 came out that Augie may have had connections to the Sons of Liberty, and I didn't believe it at the time. But like, now? ... Damn, he really might have.
 
My new bet for what's gonna happen in the finale, now: Rick Sr. is gonna find out that his son is still alive in the alternate universe and start messing with some s*** that he really shouldn't.
 
By the way, am I wrong is Keith 100% justified in hating Chris here? Don't get me wrong, he's a Nazi bastard. You won't see me offering him any further sympathy. But Chris absolutely did end up destroying his life for completely selfish reasons.

Man I loved the speech from Auggie. He is a good man in a very bad world trying his best to minimize the evil as much as possible within his power. He is not Superman, he can't change the world. But atleast he can keep the lives of people going against monsters and lunatics.

It reminds of Geralt. He can't stop the war or give Temeria freedom on his own. But atleast he can kill a few drowners so the travellers on the road don't get pulled in the swamps.

Auggie is genuinely more heroic than any of the 11th Street kids.
 
Keith has every right to be angry tbh. And being a nazi isn't entirely his fault. Keith would be born in like 70s or 80s. Well into the age where propoganda would be standardized in schools.

Auggie is from the time where he would he his ideals intact because he saw the nazi takeover.

But kids are very easy to shape into what you want them to be. And despite Auggie's teachings, it seems the propaganda won.

Also Vigilante from Earth X doesn't seem to be a sociopath like our Vigilante. Despite his quirkiness it seems he has a solid set of morals and doesn't go around killing innocent people.

Not at all I mean the shit is ****** no matter how you slice it but its trauma and bad environment’s all around enforcing decisions at low moments for Chris but that effects other people and he didn't consider that
 
 
Has anyone been working on a Metamorpho profile? I just realized he’s the only character we need before we can make a Justice Gang profile.

Not that I know but i havr all his calcs done already on the verse page if anyone did want to
 
He should have sound manip but he didn't freeze the water under the dog
what do think about Mark Ruffalo tweet about Hulk vs Superman, in movies i think Hulk wins but comics not so sure, since i don't have much knowledge on comics books for their of them.

I mean yeah he's not wrong current DCU Superman would get ate up by Hulk until we have better showings sooo lets see where things go with Lanterns and Supergirl

I hope DC movies reach the level of Marvel, so with more competition both companies have make good movies and TV Shows for audience to watch them.

Current DCU Superman is extremely weak anyway, Gunn himself stated he was kind of watered down to make it more believable he could evolve in a world full of metahumans and still have actual challenge and he can't destroy planets so current Supes gets nuked I think. Comics, it depends on the version

Well for now, it's staying at low level superpowers. Maybe the Paradise Lost series will introduce more feats since it will deal with the Amazons and I really, really, REALLY hope we'll FINALLY have a story where the Greek Gods actually have a big role in the general verse, not just the usual American Gods deal of "they need worship to stay powerful so by modern era they're weak" or the DCEU's "they got killed in the backstory". Green Lantern and Supergirl might grant interesting stuff. Also, Man of Tomorrow will probably (confirmed? I'm not sure it was but whatever) have Brainiac as the main villain so it will almost definitely amp the game
 
I didn't even know Lex's profile was up yet tbh.

Damn, that pic kinda goes hard.

Reminds me of that Supernatural episode.
 
Man so many new games announced and stuff but DC's gaming is just lying dead.

Marvel is releasing Wolverine, Blade, Rise of Hydra and even a Ironman and a multiplayer game is in works.

The last game we got was Suicide Squad kill the justice league which was ass and no asked for it. And the best studio DC had lost half it's staff. And then they cancelled the WW game and shutdown Monolith studio.

Given how big development cycles are for games, DC is going to be very far behind on the gaming side of things.

The post Arkham falloff needs to be studied.
