Wonder womanish in this photo: http://www.empiremovies.com/in dex.php?id=21371 Y'know, the photo that comes up for clicking on when we all googled her name after reading the last JL report here. The top she's wearing is a total WW fit. She is WW fit. Sure hope GM can make this JL movie fit but I doubt it, not enough time.

Wonder WOMAN by OtisSpofford	Oct 26th, 2007 08:49:14 PM

She's cute. by TattooedBillionaire	Oct 26th, 2007 09:01:24 PM
She is probably too young to play the character, though. I think Miller is amazing, though, so I'll just trust him at this point.
She's attractive, but she's only 5'5" !!! by TheGhostWhoLurks	Oct 26th, 2007 09:02:22 PM

No, not when his shitty Ghostrider can crack 300 mil worldwide, I mean sure hate on a movie you haven't seen, read the script of or saw a single image of, as stupid as that is, but to think this will go straight to dvd is complete ignorance of how the world works. Then again your probably a god believer.

A better suggestion... by ninpobugei	Oct 26th, 2007 11:20:47 PM
She could maybe pass as WW in 6" heels, but is she WW? Nope. If we had to have a "name" actress, how about Caterina Murino (from Casino Royale) - http://tinyurl.com/ywqpky Hell, she's even European (Italian...okay, not Greek, but she has the "look"...and she's 30!).
I just can't look past the age discrepancy by deathbird	Oct 26th, 2007 11:24:41 PM
This miscasting (surely not the last) will undermine the film, no matter how laudable Miller's effort. Still, we should count ourselves lucky Peter Jackson came to this realization a decade ago, and switched to Viggo.

just to make someone LOOK the part, you hired the wrong person. Too short and blonde, Palmer's almost as bad a casting decision as hiring Alba to play Invisible Girl. Instead of wasting thousands of dollars and loads of time trying to convince audiences Palmer's a 6ft tall brunette, why not just hire one in the first place? Hollywood can't FIND one??? We all know that's a giant load of walrus poo.

Are they taller than other actresses??? I'd rather they simply hire someone tall enough to actually be considered an "Amazon," like they did with Lucy Lawless and Lynda Carter. It really ISN'T that hard to do. And Teresa Palmer's resumé is minimal. She's not exactly in demand for her stellar acting abilities. I guarantee there's no shortage (pardon the pun) of other actresses with similar skills. I SERIOUSLY doubt her reading for the part was "awe-inspiring," anymore than Jessica Alba's was when she won the part of Invisible Girl over FAR more accomplished (and blonde) actresses she was competing against. And we ALL saw the results of THAT brilliant choice of casting in the Fantastic Four flicks.

that there's a part of the casting session that you are not a party to nor have witnessed. All you know is that she's 5'5 and blonde. I'm sorry but am I wrong in saying that the whole profession of acting is about ummm acting! After all no one thought carrie fisher looked the part of Princess Leia at first. She was a freakin heffer but George lucas saw something in her casting session that put a spark in his creative energies. Maybe George Miller is seeing the same thing with this chick. Maybe this chick read those lines of WonderWoman with so much more meaning than all the 6ft tall brunette actresses before and after her auditioning for the role. If i had to choose between a 5'5 blonde chick who acts out the lines she's given with such pose that it could bring a tear to my eye or the 6ft tall brunette who acts out the lines like she's auditioning for a chuckie cheese commercial I'll choose the former. WHO WOULD YOU RATHER RECITING THE LINES... "Of all people, you know who I am...who the world needs me to be. I'm Wonder Woman."
It's the age/maturity, wolvenon. Not the height. by deathbird	Oct 27th, 2007 03:11:06 AM
Bottom line: Pixies and Pretty Boys shouldn't play dress-up. This probably will look like JL90210; and the worst thing is that I can't avoid it like I did most of those godawful Marvel flicks. George Miller, master craftsman that he is, will salvage what would have been a trainwreck, but I'm gonna have to squint my eyes and pretend there are ADULTS in those costumes (which is what I had to do with Bosworth, who was supposed to be, get this!...a 35 year-old Margot Kidder). Perhaps in some alternate dimension, there's a JL movie showcasing Christopher Reeve, Michael Keaton, and a Monica Bellucci who's taken a few acting classes.
"MY OPEN LETTER TO THE POWERS THAT BE" or "Step back kids, I've by thecomedian	Oct 27th, 2007 03:13:49 AM
There are a lot of pros and cons to what’s going on with JLA and the gamble Warner Bros is taking with their superhero franchises. First off, I don’t think the studio is as dumb as some of you kids think they are. I believe we WILL see Brandon Routh as Superman and Christian Bale as Batman in this film. You can bank on it. That’s probably why they’re going so cheap with the rest of the cast. Having the real Superman and Batman on film together will mean the difference in this picture making 50-175 million or being the “Lord of the Rings” of Superhero films, an Event film, potentially the biggest Superhero film ever made. The press on this alone would be huge. Trust me they’re not stupid enough to write off that kind of opportunity and I’m sure they are still fighting tooth and nail behind the scenes to make this a reality. Christian Bale initially not wanting to do this movie has a little bit to do with integrity but really it has A LOT to do with money. And not in a “he’s just some spoiled, greedy asshole” way either. But I’ll get to that later. As many have pointed out it may seem that the nolanverse, Singer’s dull as dirt ersatz Donnerverse and the Justice League couldn’t possibly meld together into a cohesive whole. That’s what it may seem like but there is an easy as shit solution and I’m sure whoever is doctoring up the script right now has hopefully figured this out. A lot of people here have brought up the point that doing a Justice League movie where the league is already formed is incredible stupid. They’re right. You may have some pinheads at the studio thinking of this picture more as a live action version of the JLU cartoon and thus most audiences will just look at it that way. They’re wrong. Unless they just want a handful of people who bought DVDs of the cartoon to show up at the theater. So here’s my “so simple a soulless Harvard MBA who just wants to be the next Barry Diller can follow it” solution. Okay so, 1st let’s deal with the Superman/Batman thing. In the case of Superman, Brandon Routh AND Bryan Singer have everything to gain by him playing Superman in JLA. Face it, Superman Returns was a failure. Not because Singer was trying to pick up from a 30 year old franchise. He obviously didn’t even GET the Donner movies because they actually are imaginative, inventive and FUN. I don’t think Bryan Singer can even spell “Verisimilitude”. He didn’t even deliver on the movie he was supposedly telling us he was making. We never actually saw “a world that had moved on and didn’t need Superman anymore”. I could pick apart the flaws of Superman Returns but it’s all been said already. The fact of the matter is he got beaten badly by fuckin’ Pirates, a sequel that wasn’t even half as entertaining as it’s predecessor. I don’t even think Disney thought Pirates would make the money it did. And it did because SUPERMAN RETURNS FAILED. So people had to take their kids to see something on a rainy summer afternoon. The cold hard truth is that THE ONLY REASON WE’RE EVEN SEEING A JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE IS BECAUSE SUPERMAN RETURNS WAS SUCH A LETDOWN AND WB IS HUNGRY FOR A BLOCKBUSTER SUPERHERO FRANCHISE. Search you feelings, Singerologists. You know this to be true. That said, I think Brandon Routh did okay with what he was given. I think the right director can get a Superman out of him that’s uniquely his and not just some lame literally pale impersonation of a beloved dead icon. HE DESERVES THE CHANCE. If this movie is a success it will easily translate to good will for the Superman franchise. I don’t think Bryan Singer really cares anyway. This past decade of mediocre superhero work has just been a career steppingstone for him anyhow. He obviously doesn’t give a crap and just knows how to say the right things at the right times and push geek and studio exec buttons alike. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a talented guy but I think he should get back to doing brainy thrillers. That’s what he obviously likes to do and is good at. Same way Burton is good at weird, quirky stuff. And he didn’t try to make a whole career out of doing superhero movies he didn’t care about for fat paychecks. Once he got tired of Batman he split. Singer should take a page out of his book. The studio’s obviously trying to give him the brush off as is by firing his writers. But enough bashing of Superman Returns. Those of you who liked it are entitled to your tastes. The point is that Routh deserves another shot and this may be his last. If this Justice League movie is a big-tittied, fire-breathing monster hit and he’s not in it as Superman there’s no way WB is going to waste money continuing the Superman franchise with him. They’ll just reboot with the JL Supes if they EVEN WANT to do anymore “solo” Superman movies. Now onto Bale, the nolanverse and the real reason they’re supposedly giving so much static. They have every right to. At face value they’re in an opposite situation as Routh and Singer. They have the successful franchise, both critically and financially. They didn’t quite do the blockbuster numbers that the 1st two Spider-Man movies did but they DID successfully relaunched a dead franchise (inside of 8 years even) and they did it the right way by genuinely respecting the source material, casting the most A-list cast imaginable and adding just enough of their own madness to make it new. Of course, my one criticism is the shitty shakycam fights but overall they turned out a great film. And now here they are wrapping up the sequel, what will supposedly be the studio’s big-tittied monster superhero film next summer. And that’s the reason for the static but not in the immediate way you would suspect. You see, if Dark Knight is a big hit then Bale can ask for waaaay more money to play Batman whether it be in a third film, Justice League, The Outsiders or fuckin’ Batman meets Scooby Doo. Right now by trying to shoe horn him into a Justice League movie he doesn’t have that leverage (at least on paper). They’d basically be asking him to put the suit back on this spring when he just took it off and he’ll probably have to be looping growly Batman dialogue in some voiceover booth for DK at the same time. Plus if he signs on for JL that means he may have to play Batman in the JL sequels as well as his own movies. Holy Bat-typecasting Burnout (yeah, I know it was corny but I had to try). This would be all worth it if they had a script that logically extended his character from the Nolan movies into a larger DC Universe. So yeah, some stupid script based off of a cheapo equally vapid comic crossover event from last summer wouldn’t be all that appealing. So here’s the simple solution…are you ready WB execs…I’m sure you’ve figured this out already…PAY HIM RIGHT & CHANGE THE SCRIPT. MAKE A JL MOVIE THAT’S A SEMI-SEQUEL TO BB & SR AND OPENS UP THE DOOR TO THE WHOLE DC UNIVERSE. “B-B-B-BUT COMEDIAN, THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!”, you say. Hardly, actually there’s a very logical way of pulling all of this off and EVEN keeping Max Lord, Talia and the Omacs involved. The film I’m proposing would probably be about 3-3/12 hours long but people lined up in droves and sat in the theater for over nine hours respective to watch a bunch of midgets throw a ring into a volcano. They’ll sit thru a 3-3 ½ hour JLA movie if it’s an “event”. Routh and Bale as Superman and Batman will cement that. So here’s my treatment. You see, tying the ersatz Donnerverse and the Nolanverse is actually a piece of cake. It all comes down to the timeline. Superman left earth for 5 years right? Wasn’t that the same time Bruce Wayne was off stealing shit and doing all his Bat-training with Ra’s? So having them meet for the 1st time on a rooftop in Gotham at the beginning of a JLA movie would make sense. Having a superman-less world in BB makes sense because #1 he was off in space and #2 Gotham is it’s own city with it’s own problems just like in the comics. Superman can’t be everywhere, he takes care of the world but he wouldn’t have time to deal with Carmine Falcone when he’s got to deal with Metropolis. And why would a pre-bats Bruce Wayne give a half a crap about some Alien celebrity the world is ouing and ahhhing over. He’d be so wracked with anger and guilt about what happened to his parents that he’d be completely oblivious. He was obviously in his own world outside of normal rational thinking anyway when he was gonna kill Joe Chill at the courthouse. He was a “lost man without a true purpose”. He’d give as little a shit about Superman as he would Paris Hilton. Lois Lane even mentions Gotham in SR so the groundwork has already been laid. So starting a Justice League movie with the classic 1st meeting we’ve seen time and again in comics with Superman chastising but ultimately befriending this vigilante on a rooftop would work. Everything I just said about the timeline could even be worked into the dialogue. Have Superman talk about how he realizes there are problems he alone can’t deal with. Have him talk about how there are others out there like them (yeah, I know it's all Mohinder but it’ll work). He can talk of reports of a red flash in Central City, giant green shapes in coastal city, etc. Have Batman be apprehensive but considering it all. Then we cut to Bruce Wayne in his daily business life. Here we’re introduced to Max Lord (Sam Neill) an older colleague of Wayne’s who he may even see as a friend/father figure seemingly the polarized opposite of Rutger Hauer’s character in BB. Max is charismatic, cunning, all those things Sam Neill is at his best as opposed to some Bryne Era-Luthor surrogate. Bruce also meets an exotically beautiful independently wealthy young woman named Talia thru Max. Max has seemingly brought Bruce and Talia together to invest in some big software project or something. At the end of the 1st act some earth-shattering event happens that Superman himself can’t handle (the omacs attack cities around the world) the rest of the league comes out of the woodwork meeting together for the 1st time. Superman is not surprised to see the Flash and Green Lantern both of whom he’s contacted since his initial meeting with Batman. Batman isn’t all that surprised by them either. What does throw them for a curve (or two) is the appearance of a certain impossibly beautiful, insanely powerful Amazon Princess. She explains that her name is Diana and she comes from an island shielded from all surveillance both man made or otherwise. There is an immediate bond between the three of them. She’s like the loving sister these two lone orphan boys never had albeit a smoking hot one. With the camera bulbs flashing on the three of them, GL and the Flash The Justice League is born. Batman is of course reluctant to join with them(even shirking away as the cameras flash) and says his role will be minimal because he has a city of his own to deal with. A mysterious crew cut police detective in a brown trenchcoat is also on the scene. The second act of the film shows Superman leading the league in action fighting more omacs who keep coming back and doing other stuff like setting up headquarters. Aquaman is introduced at some point and joins up. At first the League believe they’re dealing with Alien invaders as the Omacs all have the bizarre blue one eyed finhead appearance from the comics. The mysterious crew cut detective also seems to be everywhere the league is. We even see him reading a newspaper article about the Justice League fighting aliens with a knowing look on his face. Meanwhile Bruce is becoming slightly suspicious of Max and Talia while at the same time as Batman he is cautiously suspicious of his new friends in the justice league. So he starts keeping tabs on them though this isn’t of course drawn out in great detail but only hinted at. Of all the league members The Flash seems to be the most genuine even to the cynical Batman. He’s even the 1st to reveal his secret identity in a show of trust at the hall of justice. He explains the freak accident that caused his powers. He explains that his late HS/Early college age nephew Wally was also involved in the accident and has powers like him but wants to live a normal life. He respects that. The third act begins with Batman doing his detective thing and discovering the horrible truth about the omacs. They’re actually humans being turned into robot killing machines in a fake alien invasion perpetrated by Max who is of course looking out for human interest by exterminating the superhumans. In a great scene Max confronts Bruce and asks him to join his cause. He knows that Bruce is Batman. He’s know all along and has been using him. The reason he knows is because Talia knows and the reason she know is because she wants revenge on him for killing her father RA’S AL GHUL. So in the same scene Bruce Wayne’s two human friends turn against him. He refuses to join Max so Max pushes a button and everyone in the restaurant at the Princeton club or whatever turn into Omacs and Batman has to fight his way through a sea of superhuman robot killing machines. Lucky for him Superman and WW show up. The rest of the league follows. But now Max has the jump on them because he hacked into Batman’s files and knows all their weaknesses. Now the league is actually on the defensive and with the realization that there are people under the omacs they have to show restraint. They also face an even bigger problem when Max uses some sort of mind-bending deal on Superman. Not a direct telepathic attach (movie max is strictly human) but some sort of sonic devices that not only disorients superman but causes him to hallucinate. In a smirking speech Max reveals that he could track down any Kryptonite so he cooked this doo hicky up. Superman in a really bad trip becomes a danger to himself and others, unfocussed and randomly causing damage. Batman and Wonder Woman team up trying to stop him but he’s overpowering them. Barry’s nephew sees the battle on TV he races to the scene. Just when Max thinks he has won the mysterious police detective show up he is of course J’onn J’onzz, the Martian Manhunter. Batman doesn’t have a file on him. He telepathically fixes Superman and uses his vast array of powers to help the league fight the omacs. With J’onn and Wally’s help the league defeat the omacs but not without a cost. Barry gives his life heroically. In the final scene of the film the heroes gather in the hall of Justice. Wally West will obviously be the new flash though he’s not costumed. In a scene reminiscent of the scene where Barry unmasks J’onn tells them his true name and shows them his true form. They all reveal their identities to each other as a show of trust, Superman even reluctantly puts his glasses on. The last of course to take of his mask is Batman. “My name is Bruce.” Fin.
Uh... were we SUPPOSED to read that??? by TheGhostWhoLurks	Oct 27th, 2007 03:20:06 AM
Because once I got to the part where you said the studios would DEFINITELY cast Routh and Bale as Superman and Batman (when Superman's already been cast and Bale's already said "no") and then saw that you'd gone on to write the sequel to Atlas Shrugged, my eyes glazed over and I ignored the rest.

that was debunked a day ago. Bale not wanting to do it was because of a shitty script that probably doesn't exist anymore. Try to keep up.

Thats why it didn't make sense to have kate bodsworth as lois lane and because she's already been cemented by Margot kidder as being in her 30's. IT MAKES SENSE for Teresa Palmer because Diana doesn't age and WW has never been cemented in any film previously concerning her age. Lynda carter doesn't count... you want to look at eye candy and crappy acting bouncing around in a bathing suit go back and watch that show.
glad I could provide you with entertainment... by thecomedian	Oct 27th, 2007 03:47:22 AM
like I said. I come from a different age of talkbacking. You dipshits just tear each other apart. If I'm wrong about Bale and Routh well then good for you. But you're really the idiots if you don't think the studio isn't trying to make this happen especially with Marvel uniting all their heroes under paramount and setting up shop to do the Avengers in the next 5 years. What do you think THEY'RE gonna go. "Iron Man and The Hulk are in two seperate cinematic worlds. LET'S RECAST THEM WITH COMPLETE FUCKING UNKNOWNS." Who's really riding the little yellow schoolbus with a helmet on, here?

What makes you think they won't recast a third for the avengers? And lining up who else? There's no thor, ant man, wasp or captain america in any current franchises cast yet? They will be as you say 'COMPLETE UNKNOWNS' so wtf is this paramount reunion you're talking about? Unless they put Spiderman, wolverine, blade in the avengers or bring back Downey jr. as ironman I really dont see a 'uniting of all the heroes' idea that you have your mind set on.... If they do an avengers movie it will be the original avengers, ie wasp man, ant man, ironman, hulk, and obviously Captain America... soooo who are we getting back? Robert Downey Jr?

You guys are Unrealistic by filmstu2005	Oct 27th, 2007 04:03:07 AM
Especially Wolvenom and Comedian. At least let Wonder Woman look the part. Even CLOSE. Id rather have Mary Elizabeth Winstead play Wonder Woman instead of this blonde chic, and even she would be a bad choice, in my opinion. I hope this is just a rumor that will be debunked soon by WB. And yea, Routh and Bale will DEFinteley not be in this movie. So just give it up. The best thing to do is forget this film until they finally come out with the cast. Im getting really tired of the casting news. It's all disappointing
And yes, NO RAPPERS by filmstu2005	Oct 27th, 2007 04:05:15 AM
I'd rather give a real black actor a chance at this. Someone like Denzel cause i always imagined Denzel playing GL in a big screen adaption of JL. But since this movie is waaaaayyyy beneath him, especially with the hyped anti-epicness i'd say someone like Derek Luke. I dont know. Dont care. Just no rappers (TI? Were they fuckin serious? I almost sharted) That's all im saying. Give us a real blk actor and stop going for these rappers trying to make a quick buck.
Ant-Man. Who the hell is gonna see that movie? by filmstu2005	Oct 27th, 2007 04:07:30 AM
I sure wont. No one in America other than comic geeks know of Ant-Man. I didnt know who the guy was until that awful Avengers saturday morning cartoon. Who's gonna see that film? Ant-man. Please tell me all production on that film has been cancelled. Ant-Man. snicker. Sounds too cheezy to do a real movie on.
touche... by thecomedian	Oct 27th, 2007 04:07:38 AM
I guess what I'm trying to say is that they're not going to have two Hulks and Two Iron Man's running around in three different franchises. That would be assinine and that's basically what WB will end up with if they don't get Bale and Routh. As far as Marvel films is concerned, they now have a deal with Paramount to develop their remaining superhero franchises (Thor, Cap, etc) under one studio which will give them the ability to have all their heroes in the same movie. That's why Iron Man is being produced and Hulk was also pulled from Universal and now flies under this same studio. Avi cut this deal a little over a year ago. But I won't insult you wolvenom. You argue your points well enough. You just don't know that much about the movie business. That's just ignorance. No harm in that.
And now since you were so entertained... by thecomedian	Oct 27th, 2007 04:11:32 AM
"These are the BREAAAKS! BREAK IT UP! BREAK IT UP! BREAK IT UUUUUP!!" There are a lot of pros and cons to what’s going on with JLA and the gamble Warner Bros is taking with their superhero franchises. First off, I don’t think the studio is as dumb as some of you kids think they are. I believe we WILL see Brandon Routh as Superman and Christian Bale as Batman in this film. You can bank on it. That’s probably why they’re going so cheap with the rest of the cast. Having the real Superman and Batman on film together will mean the difference in this picture making 50-175 million or being the “Lord of the Rings” of Superhero films, an Event film, potentially the biggest Superhero film ever made. The press on this alone would be huge. Trust me they’re not stupid enough to write off that kind of opportunity and I’m sure they are still fighting tooth and nail behind the scenes to make this a reality. Christian Bale initially not wanting to do this movie has a little bit to do with integrity but really it has A LOT to do with money. And not in a “he’s just some spoiled, greedy asshole” way either. But I’ll get to that later. As many have pointed out it may seem that the nolanverse, Singer’s dull as dirt ersatz Donnerverse and the Justice League couldn’t possibly meld together into a cohesive whole. That’s what it may seem like but there is an easy as shit solution and I’m sure whoever is doctoring up the script right now has hopefully figured this out. A lot of people here have brought up the point that doing a Justice League movie where the league is already formed is incredible stupid. They’re right. You may have some pinheads at the studio thinking of this picture more as a live action version of the JLU cartoon and thus most audiences will just look at it that way. They’re wrong. Unless they just want a handful of people who bought DVDs of the cartoon to show up at the theater. So here’s my “so simple a soulless Harvard MBA who just wants to be the next Barry Diller can follow it” solution. Okay so, 1st let’s deal with the Superman/Batman thing. In the case of Superman, Brandon Routh AND Bryan Singer have everything to gain by him playing Superman in JLA. Face it, Superman Returns was a failure. Not because Singer was trying to pick up from a 30 year old franchise. He obviously didn’t even GET the Donner movies because they actually are imaginative, inventive and FUN. I don’t think Bryan Singer can even spell “Verisimilitude”. He didn’t even deliver on the movie he was supposedly telling us he was making. We never actually saw “a world that had moved on and didn’t need Superman anymore”. I could pick apart the flaws of Superman Returns but it’s all been said already. The fact of the matter is he got beaten badly by fuckin’ Pirates, a sequel that wasn’t even half as entertaining as it’s predecessor. I don’t even think Disney thought Pirates would make the money it did. And it did because SUPERMAN RETURNS FAILED. So people had to take their kids to see something on a rainy summer afternoon. The cold hard truth is that THE ONLY REASON WE’RE EVEN SEEING A JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE IS BECAUSE SUPERMAN RETURNS WAS SUCH A LETDOWN AND WB IS HUNGRY FOR A BLOCKBUSTER SUPERHERO FRANCHISE. Search you feelings, Singerologists. You know this to be true. That said, I think Brandon Routh did okay with what he was given. I think the right director can get a Superman out of him that’s uniquely his and not just some lame literally pale impersonation of a beloved dead icon. HE DESERVES THE CHANCE. If this movie is a success it will easily translate to good will for the Superman franchise. I don’t think Bryan Singer really cares anyway. This past decade of mediocre superhero work has just been a career steppingstone for him anyhow. He obviously doesn’t give a crap and just knows how to say the right things at the right times and push geek and studio exec buttons alike. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a talented guy but I think he should get back to doing brainy thrillers. That’s what he obviously likes to do and is good at. Same way Burton is good at weird, quirky stuff. And he didn’t try to make a whole career out of doing superhero movies he didn’t care about for fat paychecks. Once he got tired of Batman he split. Singer should take a page out of his book. The studio’s obviously trying to give him the brush off as is by firing his writers. But enough bashing of Superman Returns. Those of you who liked it are entitled to your tastes. The point is that Routh deserves another shot and this may be his last. If this Justice League movie is a big-tittied, fire-breathing monster hit and he’s not in it as Superman there’s no way WB is going to waste money continuing the Superman franchise with him. They’ll just reboot with the JL Supes if they EVEN WANT to do anymore “solo” Superman movies. Now onto Bale, the nolanverse and the real reason they’re supposedly giving so much static. They have every right to. At face value they’re in an opposite situation as Routh and Singer. They have the successful franchise, both critically and financially. They didn’t quite do the blockbuster numbers that the 1st two Spider-Man movies did but they DID successfully relaunched a dead franchise (inside of 8 years even) and they did it the right way by genuinely respecting the source material, casting the most A-list cast imaginable and adding just enough of their own madness to make it new. Of course, my one criticism is the shitty shakycam fights but overall they turned out a great film. And now here they are wrapping up the sequel, what will supposedly be the studio’s big-tittied monster superhero film next summer. And that’s the reason for the static but not in the immediate way you would suspect. You see, if Dark Knight is a big hit then Bale can ask for waaaay more money to play Batman whether it be in a third film, Justice League, The Outsiders or fuckin’ Batman meets Scooby Doo. Right now by trying to shoe horn him into a Justice League movie he doesn’t have that leverage (at least on paper). They’d basically be asking him to put the suit back on this spring when he just took it off and he’ll probably have to be looping growly Batman dialogue in some voiceover booth for DK at the same time. Plus if he signs on for JL that means he may have to play Batman in the JL sequels as well as his own movies. Holy Bat-typecasting Burnout (yeah, I know it was corny but I had to try). This would be all worth it if they had a script that logically extended his character from the Nolan movies into a larger DC Universe. So yeah, some stupid script based off of a cheapo equally vapid comic crossover event from last summer wouldn’t be all that appealing. So here’s the simple solution…are you ready WB execs…I’m sure you’ve figured this out already…PAY HIM RIGHT & CHANGE THE SCRIPT. MAKE A JL MOVIE THAT’S A SEMI-SEQUEL TO BB & SR AND OPENS UP THE DOOR TO THE WHOLE DC UNIVERSE. “B-B-B-BUT COMEDIAN, THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!”, you say. Hardly, actually there’s a very logical way of pulling all of this off and EVEN keeping Max Lord, Talia and the Omacs involved. The film I’m proposing would probably be about 3-3/12 hours long but people lined up in droves and sat in the theater for over nine hours respective to watch a bunch of midgets throw a ring into a volcano. They’ll sit thru a 3-3 ½ hour JLA movie if it’s an “event”. Routh and Bale as Superman and Batman will cement that. So here’s my treatment. You see, tying the ersatz Donnerverse and the Nolanverse is actually a piece of cake. It all comes down to the timeline. Superman left earth for 5 years right?

Having a superman-less world in BB makes sense because #1 he was off in space and #2 Gotham is it’s own city with it’s own problems just like in the comics. Superman can’t be everywhere, he takes care of the world but he wouldn’t have time to deal with Carmine Falcone when he’s got to deal with Metropolis. And why would a pre-bats Bruce Wayne give a half a crap about some Alien celebrity the world is ouing and ahhhing over. He’d be so wracked with anger and guilt about what happened to his parents that he’d be completely oblivious.

Bruce also meets an exotically beautiful independently wealthy young woman named Talia thru Max.

The movie's being written their waym whether we like it or not. Only power we have is the decision to NOT buy a ticket and go see the film in theaters. If u wanna boycott, boycott.
screw the breaks here's the point... by thecomedian	Oct 27th, 2007 04:45:04 AM
Brandon Routh is basically still a nobody. They can pay him scale for this or a little more than they're paying these slave wage unknowns their looking at. So at the least I can garauntee you he will be Superman unless Miller is hell bent on someone else or the studio is using JLA as a way of underhandedly killing Singer's Superman franchise. The writing is on the wall. They already fired Singer's henchboys. If people really like the JL Superman they probably won't bring Routh or Singer back. It's Bale that holds the cards and the reasons I stated in my "rant" are pretty much why. Fuck integrity, you don't think his greedy assed agent isn't at least trying to work a deal. It's a bigger gamble for the studio to recast Batman if DK ends up being a huge hit next summer. Their best bet is to pay him and retool the script with the Nolanverse and SR as a jump off point. But, whether they recast or not a JL movie with the league already formed is assinine. That's the main thing that will make this seem like an "illogical" turn from the two franchises. JUST FIX THE SCRIPT STUPID.

Until I saw that picture, I stood to attention in so many ways. JLA will be shite without Routh, Bale, and a new script. It should be the merging of both those franchises after their second or third film. But WB will make this anyway and screw the whole lot and any money they might have made from a series. Lets focus instead on the title of the porn rip off which will be far more successful eg Shaving Ryans Privates etc. So who'll start the balls rolling...

I don't think you guys get it, do you? by metaluna	Oct 27th, 2007 09:15:42 AM
The reason this film will suck is plainly because the most interesting thing about superhero movies are the origin stories. Everything else is just fancy dressing. Proof? Look how in every franchise each film gets worse and less interesting from a character point of view, which is where the heart of the story lies. And if your main character can 'do anything' there's not much at stake as you know they'll overcome obstacles with little effort. So I don't care who directs this. It's going to be dull and nothing more than an effects reel. Don't expect characterisation. Oh and Comedian, I don't care what age of talkback you come from, no one will read that you elitist geek. Sooner this movie gets into turnaround the better.
JL-2: RISE OF THE SUPER-LUTHOR by William Landis	Oct 27th, 2007 09:49:03 AM
Nolan's relationship with Warner Brothers must surely be turning sour. Both director and studio had meticulously planned for Ledger's Joker to own Summer 2008 and now WB has shafted him for a DC Fantastic Four (dismissive perhaps, but I don't believe any cinematic superhero ensemble can surpass a level of art higher than pantomime) to be released only a year after, which will almost certainly kill any sense of event about the new and improved Clown Prince of Crime. Grabbing hands grab all they can...

What this 'Justice League' movie is by micbenxyy	Oct 27th, 2007 10:30:42 AM
A live action version of a direct to DVD Warners Brothers cartoon, a la 'Doomsday'. The directors and starts of 'Superman Returns' and 'Batman Begins' are right to stay far far away from this project. As a matter of fact, expect their to be no more 'Superman' or 'Batman' films from their current teams. Like 'AVP', this will kill those franchises as independent entities.

Shouldn't the lack of an A-list cast be an excuse to get people who look more like the characters, not less? Maybe she's a wonderful girl who can act very well, but she looks nothing at all like the character. And no, these actors won't look tall on screen. You can always tell--proportions, the shape of various parts of the physique. Maybe, with skinny model-types, but shorter people can't both buff up and look tall.

Yes, I read the entire post and script treatment - and it was good! The Routh/Bale thing would be a necessity if they insist on doing this movie as a live-action cheese-fest. If they were to take my suggestion of a more artistic approach (something on the order of 300) THEN they could have different actors and it would still work since the LOOK of the various franchises would be different. If, however, they are all standard live-action, it would be odd to say the least.

It would be ridiculous if it was Bale by Vern	Oct 27th, 2007 12:26:11 PM
Christian Bale was great in that movie, I am a big fan of the guy since I saw American Psycho. But if you saw that one you know that Batman is trying to be grounded in reality, they even have him wearing some kind of SWAT team outfit now like it's a police procedural with a funny mask. But George Miller's Batman will be hanging with a magic flying guy from space who's afraid of green crystals, a gal running around in her panties flying an invisible airplane and if I understand correctly there is some prick with a magic space ring that shoots green out of it and he is afraid of the color yellow or some shit like that. You seriously want Batman Begins hanging around with green power ring man? Come on dude, be serious. This is a separate series, it should have a different guy. I vote for Kurt Russell or Lesser Known Actor Who Is At Least As Old As Kurt Russell Possibly Older.

It's pretty ridiculous if you think about it. Why would a mythical Amazon dress in the colors of the United States flag? And fighting in a push-up corset is just not smart. That's why the '70s show is such kitchy fun. Her tits would be popping out of that outfit all the time. Which is fine with me if that's the direction they choose to go. Otherwise I hope they pull and X-men and update it to something less ridiculous looking.

Seriously, Vern. Kurt Russell? by thecomedian	Oct 27th, 2007 01:48:06 PM
They can cross Bale's Batman into this world. It's all about execution. Basically they'd just taking a page from the comics letting Batman have his own down to earth crime to deal with in his own series but being a key player in a larger universal scheme. Batman doesn't fight spacemen and alien invasions in his solo titles but he deals with them all the time in JLA and his characterization is consistent so it works. That's basically what you do with the movies. And if you have the BB Batman reacting to this bigger stuff with the same pissy "I'm used to fighting idiots in clony makeup. What the fuck is this stupid space man crap." it will work well too. Seriously, you made the standard short-sighted argument we've heards time and again and then you pick Kurt Russell? You really think Kurt Russell wouldn't be an even more rediculous distraction as Batman then the guy currently playing him? Look, all this Batman is too realistic BS is a copout. In comics the same as in film. "Realistically" a creepy wierdo who dresses up like fucking Dracula every night and kicks the shit out of purse snatchers, rapist and drug dealers wouldn't last very long because he'd get fucking shot or someone would step on his cape or something. There's nothing "realistic" about Batman in comics or on film. You know what else is unrealistic, fight scenes where you're watching the movie thinking "Please God, just let just see a fist hit a face for christsake!?!" and instead you get a shaky close up of a subway conductors console for 30 seconds. It's all a fucking escapist fantasy, dude. I know that may sound like an even bigger copout but it's the truth. You want a "realistic" Batman. That's pretty much Bernie Goetz, the movie with John Wayne Gacy as the villain... Actually that's not a bad idea. But I'll agree to disagree.

Looking 'hot' doesn't make her right for the part! by Lance2769	Oct 27th, 2007 02:28:11 PM
So she looks sexy in her white camisole! SO WHAT! That doesn't make her right for the Wonder Woman part. As stated in a previous message. She looks like some sexy cheerleader. And now, she's being fitted for a wig! !!!??? Pray that it doesn't look laughable like Halle Berry's wig in the first X-Men movie. Casting young is not the solution for keeping a franchise alive. X-Men didn't resort to hiring someone young like Josh Harnett to play Wolverine in order to keep continuity with the actors for future films. The answer has always been to cast the right 'age appropriate part' - a good director can always shape the performance of a decent actor (Quentin did it for Travolta and there are endless examples). You can never change what you 'see' on screen if you've cast wrong. Once you've gotten your core cast, you sign them to a 2 or 3 picture agreement and if the franchise is still alive after the first film, you film the sequels back to back (if in fact, time and youth is of the essence). Filming back to back is the most cost effective way of delivering more return on the bank's investement and is the prefect solution for time issues . This has been the trend of making movies for years (LOTR, The Matrix, Pirates and even Back to the Future Parts 2 and 3 way back in the 80's). Anyone in the business knows what I've outlined above, and is no secret. So, this B.S reason that Harry is giving us on behalf of George Miller's casting young to keep a franchise going is for the birds. It's not justifiable. In fact, it's probably just an excuse for another old Hollywood director to get a piece of young ass. I've seen it time and time again being in the business and Michael Bay and Robert Rodriguez - you two included. I love seeing a good piece of eye candy on screen as much as the next guy but isn't that what B-movies and porn is for Harry? It's time that we call it out the way we see it and you should too.

BB's Batman is a vigilante with fighting skills and a shitload of money in a world there is much like our own. Its simply IMPOSSIBLE to cross Nolan's approach with this SuperBestFriends thing. It would be like sir McKellen reprising his role as Gandalf in Epic Movie 2. And make no mistake, this WILL BE a kid's movie a la FF4, this perception not only explains why WB gave the greenlight, but also why they choose Miller, who has proven that he can handle both child storytelling and action.
Many stupid posts ... by DoctorWho?	Oct 27th, 2007 03:45:01 PM
Yes indeed the "No Flames on Optimus Prime" pandemonium is in effect here. I read alot of ..."She's BLONDE " therefore "this will go straight to video". Elijah Wood was cast as Frodo...news flash...he's not 3ft tall.You guys are crazy with these sweeping declarations based off of a half assed non- press release photo. But , valid points on WW's outfit though...Ive got to think a re vamp has to happen. It depends, Miller may go for the larger than life, mythic vision of the comics. I love this stage of the process where everything is a big question mark, before ...little by little...plot points, casting ,set design news etc starts to trickle in. I will send my condolences right now to The Comedians family, for his untimely suicide when this comes out. Because theres NO WAY he'll be happy with ANY version of this movie that does not match his perfectly formulated scenario. This film may truly dissapoint(as SR did),but that kind of expectation leads to madness. Just ask the LOTR dweebs who freaked out over Tom Bombadil. Stick with the source material and be happy. But for the 99% of the rest of the world who dont have time to research DC canon...it'll be a fun night at the movies.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new /Wonder-Woman-Is-A-Blonde-6768 .html By Josh Tyler: 2007-10-26 13:02:00 I’m flat out sick of reporting on Justice League of America casting rumors. The movie sounds like it’s going to be a second tier, replacement actors, teen superheroes flick and it’s being directed by a guy who thinks it’s such an important project… that he’s shooting two other movies simultaneously with it. There’s no way JLA is going to be any good, and we’re all wasting our time by paying attention to it. Still, I guess it’s my job to report this stuff, no matter how much it beats me down. So I’m just going to spit this latest casting rumor out and be done with it. An actress named Teresa Palmer may have been cast as Wonder Woman in JLA, according to Moviehole. They seem pretty certain about it, so maybe this is it and we can stop reporting on at least this role. Thank god. Teresa played the blonde girl Vanessa in The Grudge 2. She’s mostly done bit parts in movie’s you’ve seen, or bigger parts in movie’s you haven’t. She’s 21 years old and 5’5” which makes her too young and too short to play Wonder Woman… if Warner Brothers was making a movie that was at all faithful to the characters rather than a film designed to sell discount boxes of cereal. Sadly, it’s the latter that’s going on here and not the former.

Teresa Palmer is Wonder Woman? Posted on Friday, October 26th, 2007 at 10:52 am by: Peter Sciretta The big news today is the supposed casting of Wonder Woman in the big screen Justice League movie. Moviehole claims that Teresa Palmer may have scored the role. Age 21 years of age, Palmer is the youngest of the bunch of Wonder Woman hopefuls. Her publicity materials list her as 5′ 5¾”, which is considerably shorter Amazon character who is known for her curvaceous long legs. The modern day character is 6′3″ while the older version was much shorter (5′11″ was “amazonian” height for a woman in the 1960’s). Palmer starred in December Boys and The Grudge 2. Again, this casting has not been 100% confirmed by the studio. But looking over the past hopefuls for the role worries me a bit. Does Warner Bros have any idea what they are doing with this film? It’s beginning to look a lot like the JJ Abrams Star Trek casting, young actors with little to no name value
Isn't JLA a terrible idea? by danowen	Oct 27th, 2007 08:42:19 PM
This is a concept that belongs in comic books, I don't care how good it reads in a script. JLA as a film, even with the director Babe Pig In The City (hehe), is just going to crap all over the good work done to re-establish Batman and Superman recently, and deny a decent standalone adaptation for Flash, Wonder Woman, etc. Cheap, inexperienced actors being cast doesn't fill me with happiness either. Just end this now, please. Oh well. Dark Knight will be amazing, then we'll have this "Batman & Robin"-style debacle to set comic adaptations back by 10 years again. Sigh. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I have no faith in this JLA thing. Even the NAME sounds hopelessly patriotic and dumb -- so, Superman only saves Americans now, then??
