35 Hilariously Absurd Comics From Cartoonist Dave Blazek

“Why does a movie about Aquaman, a little guy who talks to fish, need to be the same running time as 2001: A Space Odyssey?“”

This is the conclusion someone comes to when they get all their comic book knowledge from Family Guy and the Big Bang Theory.

The DCEU is an entire mess. They should really just wait a few years and start again.

[comingupforblair]

I said before that people would somehow find a way to put a negative spin on Steven Spielberg joining the DCEU and I see I was right. Also if you think he’d make a ‘’generic war movie’’, I’d advise you to watch Saving Private Ryan sometime.

I assume that “understand” in this instance just means “make the version I personally prefer”. Also haven’t people been saying for years that they should look beyond Batman and Superman and now they should only give films to popular characters? That’s also contradicted by the fact that you’re putting a negative spin on Harley Quinn in a Birds Of Prey film as she’s one of the most popular characters in the comics.

But Warner Bros should just start again because cancelling multiple projects, erasing all the things that have worked and alienating all the directors and writers involved, which will also make future ones more hesitant to join, won’t be a clusterfuck of mythic proportions. But it will be worth it to win the approval of fans who, most of the time, don’t even seem to know what the fuck they want, at least not in any specific or realistic terms.

[flaminghair02]

I’m in no way calling Spielberg a bad director. What I’m saying is that Blackhawks is just an elite fighter pilot squadron with a special name, that isn’t very superhero like in my opinion.

I’m not pissed about Harley getting her own movie, I’m pissed she is being put in Birds of Prey, a team she has barely ever been a part of where she will probably be the focus over the actual members.

Also Warner Bros have already been continually fucking up. They butchered Justice League with edits, they rushed their cinematic universe to try and keep up with Marvel, they can’t decide on what they are making and are rushing big stories (I’ve seen Flashpoint confirmed and denied by them about 3 times). Also, they have already been cancelling movies.

[bat-fella]

Well first of all the Birds of Prey movie is only happening because Margot Robbie was pushing for it hard. Without her and Harley Quinn the movie wouldn't even be happening.

Second, no one knows what her role in the movie will be. She could be the antagonist for all we know.

Last the Blackhawks were anything but generic. They fought against what is essentially nazi super science. If the Blackhawks are just generic fighter pilots then Captain America is just a strong guy with a shield

For those of you complaining about Cavil’s Superman killing Zod by snapping his neck just remember it was a last resort and he still felt remorse pain and sadness. However, I don’t see many people complaining about Reeve’s version of Superman killing Zod and he smiles and is giving Lois a celebratory hug where as in MOS Lois is comforting Clark. This another reason I love MOS version of Clois. They look at each other and speak through body language.

To the mansplainer I have already blocked anyway or anyone who wants to join him:

You don’t know what I know about the history of Superman comics. You assume because I disagree with you about a Superman portrayal, that I don’t know as much as you do. As a rule, I don’t spend time trying to prove my geek cred to strangers because every minute I waste trying to convince you to believe I am who I am is stolen time.

I do want to make one point, though. While I find Jerry & Joe’s intentions fascinating and believe that we should respect the Jewish origins of the character, while I think examining who the people who wrote the stories (and more often than not had them stolen) were is valuable; you somehow proving that their 80 year old intentions for the character were about him grinning his face off in the face of injustice would not change my mind.

I honestly couldn’t care less that you think your interpretation of the character is more pure. I don’t care. Because this isn’t about purity, it’s not really about canon, and you and I both know that it’s not about “what Jerry Siegel would have wanted.”

Superman is about who we are, and who we want to be. And when you tell me Superman should smile more, what I hear is that you want to pretend that things are fine. What I hear is that you want a Superman who can’t see what we’re doing to each other, that hope MUST be blind in order to be hopeful. All of those ideas are repugnant to me.

I don’t care if you love Snyder’s Superman. That doesn’t matter to me at all. But when you reduce that portrayal to “he broods too much,” “he’s too focused on Lois,” “his parents didnt badger him into morality,” or “he’s so angry and violent,” you’re sliding into MY lane to disrespect films I honestly struggle to believe you actually ever tried to engage.

I think anyone as powerful as Superman is who grins and quips, who can find time to be cocky and brash, who laughs in the face of pain is an asshole. I think anyone who finds it distasteful to watch someone with power struggle to figure out how to apply that power ethically is embracing dangerous rhetoric.

You’re not going to change my mind about that by giving me a history lesson I didn’t need in the first place.

On this holy day in the DCEU fandom, reblog this with your favorite Batman v Superman quote.

I’ll start: “Ignorance, is not the same as innocence Miss Lane.”

[bat-fella]

Lex Luthor: See, what we call God depends upon our tribe, Clark Jo, 'cause God is tribal. God takes sides.

No man in the sky intervened when I was a boy to deliver me from Daddy's fist and abominations.

I figured out way back if God is all-powerful, He cannot be all good.

And if He is all good, then He cannot be all-powerful.

And neither can you be.

I only have one suggestion for Ava Duvernay's New Gods. John Boyega as Mister Miracle

Ava DuVernay To Direct Jack Kirby Comic Creation ‘The New Gods’ For Warner Bros, DC

EXCLUSIVE: After making history as the first woman of color to helm a $100 million-plus live-action film in A Wrinkle In Time, Ava DuVernay will continue to play in the event film sandbox. She’s closing a deal with Warner Bros and DC to direct a big-budget screen adaptation of The New Gods, the creation of revered comic book impresario Jack Kirby. The studio will quickly set a screenwriter who’ll craft the narrative and work closely with DuVernay.

This will be another $100M-plus film for DuVernay, who has taken quite a leap in scale since her breakout film Selma. She unveiled a New Gods connection late last year when she responded to a question on social media on who her favorite superhero is. “Big Barda. Many reasons” was her reply. Big Barda is one of the New Gods and the wife of Mister Miracle, also a Kirby creation.

The New Gods was the Genesis of the uber-villain Darkseid. Also called “Fourth World,” the Kirby creation debuted in a trilogy of related comics written and drawn by Kirby that were published in the very early 1970s: New Gods, Forever People and Mister Miracle. The New Gods came into existence after the world of the gods of classic mythology were destroyed during Ragnarok. The deities inhabit two planets: one is New Genesis, a lush paradise, and the other Apokolips, which sounds like Dante’s version of hell. War ensues. There is a rich universe of extraordinary characters for DuVernay to play with here.  This will be a fun one to follow.

Honestly, the Flash/Wonder Woman boob faceplant felt like such a middle finger from Joss to the audience. He knew everyone hated that scene when it happened with Bruce and Natasha in Age of Ultron. He knew everyone hated his Wonder Woman script when it leaked. So having Flash land on Diana’s chest was his way of saying “Haha! I can do what I want even if you hate it! Screw you!” and that’s what pisses me off about it.

Credit where credit is due, Joss Whedon just might have made Justice League watchable. 

Cyborg still looks like shit, and so does some of the effects. But the damage has been done I suppose. But I think all of us should thank Joss Whedon for coming in and saving this movie. 

Thank you Joss. Thank you, for making characters that have been beloved for decades likable again. 

Except for Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins did her justice.

But hey, introducing color and making Superman smile. You know that’s pretty revolutionary Joss. So good going there.

From Zack Snyder himself

And since i doubt you know what these are, these are story boards for the movie, specifically the opening scene of the last trailer. So sit your dumbass down.
