I'd actually love to see him pop up on Supergirl, myself… That show needs to introduce ALL the Superman mythos characters that the movies have been neglecting.

I think it's more like there will be some vaguely-defined idea that Arthur somehow SUMMONED the Tick, or created him from his subconscious. Arthur could be some massively powerful telekinetic/psychic with a split-personality, for all we know at this point!

I would just lose it if that happened. Too damn amazing! (And Warburton is an executive producer on the show, so he could make it happen!)

… “an edgy narrative feature with a buddy comedy bent on the order of a Lethal Weapon.”

I actually disagree with you pretty strongly on this point. Kyle Rayner was the Green Lantern I grew up on, and I still think he's awesome… but he'd kind of run his course as a character by the early '00s.

Jesus…

Yes. It's called "Superman: Speeding Bullets". Kal-El ends up being named Bruce Wayne and becomes a Batman who can actually fly— and he ends up fighting a Lex Luthor who somehow got turned into the Joker.

OY, I am tired of arguing about the prequels. So many go-to points to make:

I'm not gonna lie: I would have wanted to see a Ghostbusters 3, myself. Hell, the last draft they wrote for Ghostbusters 3 (by the guys who wrote for "The Office") was actually pretty good, and I would have wanted to see it as a finale for the original team.

Well, it de-emphasizes the REALISM of the science-fiction element, but it increases the AMOUNT of it— so now, we get two scenes of them test-running special ghost-fighting toys in a back-alley, and whipping out dual proton pistols, proton grenades, and all sorts of ridiculous tech weapons in the final battle. The…

I think people often make the mistake of seeing the sci-fi fantasy and quasi-superheroic elements of the story as the fundamental appeal of Ghostbusters, too. That's why they keep trying to make a franchise out of this— those genres are usually fertile ground for sequels, remakes, etc. They forget that those elements…

I think calling Ghostbusters a "franchise" is the whole problem. Ghostbusters was ONE amazing comedy in the eighties, with a great cartoon spin-off. Every attempt to turn the concept into an honest-to-goodness FRANCHISE (crappy sequel, mediocre remake, halfway-decent sequel cartoon) has either stalled or completely…

On one hand, this disappoints me, because I like the Ghostbusters concept, and I've been a fan since I was a kid— I was literally following Ghostbusters III hype back in middle school.

Half the fun of watching these movies is shaking your head in exasperation and wondering what the hell they were thinking when they made it. The filmmakers need to embrace that and realize that an energetic, spontaneous mess is always going to be more engaging that an overwrought, polished turd.

Exactly! That's literally all they were doing with these movies in the eighties… why try to make it into something more than it ever needed to be?

But they announced Batman v. Superman first, and they didn't officially announce Justice League until they released their big DCEU calender a year later.

Matthew Vaughn claimed he dropped out of doing X-Men: The Last Stand because he didn't want to fly to Los Angeles at the time to shoot it. People have their foibles. That's kind of an arbitrary reason to count a filmmaker out.

The crazy thing is, the first choice Chris Nolan and David Goyer made for director for Man of Steel was actually Darren Aronofsky, but he turned them down so he could go make Noah.

As long as Zack Snyder is kept far, far away from this production… this could possibly be something really good.

Alright, I'll give you that! That's a solid rationale for the outfit.
