YOUNG ME:
There’s going to be a big screen JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE!?!!!!

PRESENT ME:
Yes but believe it or not, one day UPN and the WB will merge to form a network for sexed up teens and you will be far more excited to watch their version of Justice League.

YOUNG ME:
HAHAHAAaa.... okay. sure dude. I see I maintain my cynical…

i really don’t think james should have apologized or felt forced to make any changes.

It’s mostly wire work on a greenscreen. The environment and his flowing hair is cg (much like the method for zero g hair on The Expanse.) They realized after the bit in BvS and some test shooting, that working in actual water would be too diffiult.

He.....is.....Aquamnan. Dear lord you guys are just hating the move for the sake of it being a movie.

Like any other movie since the beginning of cinema. Unless it’s made pitch dark on purpose for effect, a dark room in film is never a completely dark room.

Forge. He’s playing Forge. I’m going to say it until it comes true.

Visually this looks better than the last three, and that was a great trailer (all hail Johnny Cash), but the series really needs to dial back the supernatural. The first film worked so well because it was a solid pirate story that had a single supernatural twist. Now everything is supernatural.

I’ve seen him around the neighbourhood (yeah, Brampton is my home city.)

To most people, he’s an urban legend.

From everything I’ve heard, that’s actually backwards: Jackson wanted it to be two films (and I agree with him, it needed to be; it’s a comparatively short book because of its writing style, but a LOT happens in it); the studio pushed it to be three. Also, it wasn’t Jackson’s baby from the start, the way LOTR was. …

IIRC a lot of the vision was based on the work Guillermo del Toro was already doing before he left the project. For instance, he’s still listed as a co-writer on all 3 films despite leaving the project 2 years before the first was released. And I believe Jackson has said they ended up being rushed for the films…

What stunned me about The Hobbit films is how overdone the CGI was. Particularly because Jackson practically wrote the book on how to use CGI properly in a film with the LOTR trilogy (in stark contrast to the Star Wars Prequels use of CGI). Practical effects for the close up shots and foreground, CGI far away and for…

I think you’re right. I guess my question is more along the lines of, Peter seemed to totally “get” the LOTR books and was so good at putting them to film, how could he so misunderstand The Hobbit? I mean, LOTR was largely his vision. And as I understand it, so was The Hobbit. It was he who wanted to turn it into a…

The first movie is incredible. It’s just a constant build until the end. The second and third movies are great, too, but the first one is just amazing world-building/introduction.

The heartwarming Hobbit trilogy reunion:

The difference being Dini & Company were good at what they do and created solid characters. Gotham...not so much.

“Most Comic Book Show on Television”?

As another poster noted, it was part of the Hush storyline---which is canon---but they point out that Alan Scott is from Gotham though they see him in Metropolis.

Pffft, just shows he’s not *really* Batman.
