Are you well versed in DC's animated universe? I'm not really familiar with a lot of it, but I wouldn't mind changing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that to the fact that Scarjo was recently named one of Hollywood’s highest grossing actors of all time and the very highest grossing actor of 2016, and pretty much any argument against it starts looking decidedly ramshackle. They even had a ready made premise after the whole "T'Challa told Ross what you did" thing in Civil War, but still wouldn't bite the bullet.

If you are talking about the longer-running series, I have only seen the original Bruce Timm Batman series (still one of the greatest TV shows of all time imho) and the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series.

Sorry, I should have clarified there that I was mainly thinking in terms of the standalone movies. The old Justice League Unlimited and Batman animated series (along with the X-Men and Spider-Man ones) were essentially my jumping off points for getting into comic books back in the day, but I remain a bit of a novice when it comes to the movie universe. I'd still like to try and see more, but even now, the sheer amount of stuff out there makes my head spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though many of these films do have narrative threads that continue throughout several films (e.g. Damian Wayne's story is a part of both "The Son of Batman" trilogy as well as the subsequent two "Teen Titans" films). The Teen Titans might be a good place to start. "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" and then the more recent sequel, "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract". Also another recent one "Justice League Dark" is quite good, if you like the magic wielders of the D.C. universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htttps Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 even though i dont like most DC films, i really want this movie to succeed because we need more movies about female superheroes it seems like most opinions from january-april were completely wrong about the movie being another DC mess, because most of the reviews from people that are seeing the movie now are saying that the movie was amazing, and right now it has a 94% score in rotten tomatoes (which i think is the most a DC film has ever received). there are very few negative reviews and most of them are from misogynistic dudebros and people who wanted her to stay as a second character in DC movies (leaving the leading role to either Batman or Superman), so they obviously did something right. a female superhero movie directed by a woman......it really is the beginning of something!

It's by far the highest of the DC Extended Universe movies, which is the best way to compare it. I think that's near one or more of the Dark Knight movies, but that's different because those movies were made by a different group of people and it was before the DC Extended Universe. 1 hour ago, apocalypsian said: a female superhero movie directed by a woman......it really is the beginning of something!

I am quite partial to the aliens and magic aspect of DC's output, and honestly, the very fact that it features some relatively obscure superheroes and supervillains who rarely get the spotlight is in itself a bit of a draw too. Constantine, when not played by Keanu Reeves, is such a great character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite thing about that was the supposed effort to organise male-only screenings of Last Jedi in December. The person leading that effort? The guy who led the campaign against Rogue One last December because of its supposed feminist agenda. So in short, his master plan for protesting the feminist agenda of one movie basically amounts to seeing another movie from a franchise that he's also criticised for having a feminist agenda. You really can't make this stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading about a year ago that Sasha had landed a modest role in Valerian, the new sci-fi film from Luc Besson, but it's certainly news to me that she was in Wonder Woman as well. Another reason to see it on the big screen. After trawling around Doutzen's topic for a bit, I found a few publicity shots. She sure does look the part. <br> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
