  1. Everyone knows the reason to play tanks is because of Ice Armor..

    Trailer is not bad..



    Quote:
    Stephen Amell (the actor who will play Olvier Queen in CW's Arrow) says that his take on the DC superhero has nothing in common with the Smallville version and also discusses the tone, costume and more.

    "It's pretty kick ***," the actor tells MTV Splash Page of what we should expect from the CW's take on Green Arrow this Fall. "There's a lot of action; there's a lot of fighting. It's close hand to hand combat and it's aggressive. The entire pilot just keeps ramping up the entire way. You don't get a break." As for the training he went through (Amell can be seen looking extremely buff in the clip, trailer and TV spot) he said, "It was the basics; it was like 'wax on, wax off' stuff. I did a bunch of parkour, and then I got into weight training and the specific fight choreography for the pilot, and that sort of continued to ramp up as we went along."

    "I think that when you see the pilot, other than in name, the characters really don't have anything in common," Amell confirmed when asked about any similarities between this and the Green Arrow introduced in Smallville and played by Justin Hartely. "It's very different and people will get that after about two minutes of the show." As for the costume, he added added, "The idea for the costume was I wanted to be able to put the costume on by myself. Because if I could put the costume on by myself that means that it's functional and if it's functional people will buy it. My boots are actually Nike Frees, which is kind of cool. It's leather and it's tight and it's aggressive, but I can move in it. People will like it."
  5. Take this with a grain of salt, but someone claiming to be a visual effects supervisor describes two scenes from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. The descriptions offer the first impressions of Cavill as Superman and Michael Shannon as Zod.

    I’m a visual effects supervisor for the upcoming film After.Earth, the M. Night picture. I’ve also done work on Avatar, Iron Man, and Sin City. I’m on IMDb. I’ll admit I check my own page from time to time. It feels good.

    I frequent this board often, I’m a huge comic book fan (as shown by the movies I’ve worked on). Last night at a VFX conference there was a sizzle reel shown by Weta. In this sizzle reel there were two beta level(most likely from a trailer) clips shown. One only about 6 seconds long, the other much longer.

    The former was Clark Kent grabbing a truck with a crying man inside of it while flying through the middle of a tornado. It looked incredible. Henry Cavill can fly, and he can hold a truck in one arm. Zack Snyder brings his usual visual flair, but somehow is still unlike anything he has made before. It felt like a Superman comic. Real heroism.

    The longer clip was even more stunning, but the more I think about it, slightly concerning. The clip consisted of Superman in full costume in a verbal argument with Zod in the center of Smallville with Christopher Meloni yells at them through a megaphone next to a tank. Meloni warns them he will fire if they do not surrender. While he says this Zod sizes Superman up. Shannon looks evil as he can be. Bone chilling even. And is DEFINITELY sporting enhanced muscle. Cavill’s Superman is a wonderful sight to behold in motion. Cavill’s pure size makes him the most believable Superman to date. Zod speaks in Kryptonian “Do you know your native tongue, Kal-el?” Superman looks stunned, and responds in English, “Who are you?” (there isn’t enough Superman dialogue to judge Cavill’s performance fairly, but I’d say he did well. Nothing spectacular from this clip.) Meloni curses, then into a walkie talkie orders the tank to fire. Superman hears this and turns to the tank. Zod takes this opportunity to sucker punch Superman(in Zack Snyder slow-then-fast-mo) then when the tank fires Superman rushes in front of Zod, despite the punch and catches the exploding missile near his stomach. The flames ripple around him, hit his face, his cape, his eyes. The shrapnel hits him and bounces off. The same happens to Zod to a lesser extent. Meloni’s shocked expression when they remain standing, silhouettes in a cloud of smoke, ends the clip.

    zack-snyder-man-of-steel-supermanIt was incredible, it really was. And absolutely visually stunning, but my qualm is its typical Zack Snyder. It doesn’t look glossy like his films do. It instead has a more clean cut, colorful look. Like Thor, or Iron Man. But it is the same slow-mo styling that people expect from him. Maybe it just happens in this one scene, but it happens twice. Makes me a bit hesitant, despite the fact it looks phenomenal.
    Note in the past IMDB has been right about trailers before the trailers hit.. here is an example:
    Example <-- IMDB gave spoilers to the inception trailer weeks before it ever was released and was proven right.

    All that said..

    The CW have officially picked up Arrow, the new TV series about DC Comic's Green Arrow, for the 2012-2013 TV season. TV Line were among the first to report the news, as The CW picked up five new series for the next season, including The Carrie Diaries, Cult, First Cut and Beauty & the Beast.



    Arrow stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, who was presumed dead for five years, until he is found on a remote island. Returning home, the wealthy Oliver decides to create a vigilante alter ego.

    I agree..on other sites I see a lot of bickering between people on if Batman will beat Avengers, blah blah blah...

    In Truth, only the "mine is better than yours" crowd gives a crap about the the box office money. The rest of us want to see TWO successful cbms. I want both of these films to be successful but, more importantly, I want both of these films to be GOOD. Let the fair-weather wannabe fans and company muppets worry about who makes more. The real fans want good films. [frick] the rest of the dumb crap.

    Good going Marvel/Disney.. this movie was a true success.. and was worth all the accolades its getting.

    MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS Set For A Shock Weekend Record Of $200.3M Domestically

    Quote:
    We've been bringing you the latest box office figures for Marvel's The Avengers ever since it opened internationally on April 25th. The past few days have seen predictions for its opening weekend in the US rise from $150 million to a now guaranteed record shattering $200 million! Read on for details.

    Deadline confirms that Disney and Marvel Studios made a record $69.7M at the North American box office yesterday after earning an impressive $80.5M on Friday. While official figures aren't set to be released until a little later today, Joss Whedon's superhero ensemble is currently on track to add upwards of $49M to that total, making a final sum of $200M a guarantee (we'll be sure to update you when those figures come through later today or tomorrow). Basically, The Avengers has managed to do what Voldermort failed to acheieve across eight films; they have crushed Harry Potter, smashing the previous record held by The Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169M) with ease. Sources also indicate that the worldwide total now stands at $640+M and other analysts (see below) are confirming a domestic gross of $200.3M in total.
    Total Lifetime Grosses
    Domestic: $200,300,000 31.2%
    + Foreign: $441,500,000 68.8%
    = Worldwide: $641,800,000
    "

    - Box Office Mojo

    A production budget of 220 million.

    Gives incentives for Marvel to invest even more in Thor 2, Captain America 2, Iron Man 3. Etc.

  10. Ghost Spirits for Dark themed toons..
    Also some of the Halloween event baddies might be good for this theme too.

    Gremlin's for Electric themed toons..

    Wendigo, Polar bear, Penguins!! = for Ice Theme toons

    Magma Pumicites, Fire spirits, Fire Bunnies!! (?!?!?!) = For Fire toons..

    Devouring Earth pets for earth toons..
  11. The idea behind the Batman reboot is to fit into a JLA movie which WB execs feel that the current Batman movies in realism (Nolans) don't fit the JLA theme.

    With the new Superman reboot, new Batman reboot, and the GL movie last year, they are using this the way Marvel used their line up for Avengers.

    Last I heard they are moving foward with Flash.. but WonderWoman movie was put on hold (again).

    If they include robin, make it Tim Drake and explain Dick Grayson as nightwing and the death of Jason Todd in flashbacks or something. You don't have to do a complete origin story again of Batman.

    Hey Gang

    I happened to come across this post by Mark Millar this morning which I found kind of interesting. Not only did he mention that he wanted Robin for the Batman reboot, but also check out who he wants for The Dark Knight, and Gordon.

    Mark Millar posted this to fans on facebook

    -I'd def put Robin in Batman reboot. Fassbender as Batman, Cranston as Gordon and Patrick MacNee or George Cole as Alfred...

    ... Actually, the more I think about it, Patrick MacNee MUST be Alfred in any Batman reboot. Also, ditch the leathers and daft voice. Get Batman mobile-
    For those that don't know.. Michael Fassbender played Magneto in X-Men First Class.

    Also removing the Leather and daft voice??

    I wouldn't mind a costume that looked like this..

    Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time -- six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother.
    Also Arnie and Sly are both 64! I didn't realize that.

    The movie did that poorly that they will not finish the story?

    Edit: I never troll. Not in my nature. Sorry if it seemed that way.
    It made over 300,000,000 world wide, I wouldnt call it a bust. But the movie wasn't paced well and the story was rushed and the actors were not good for the roles given.

    Hopefully they reboot it in 5 years and do it right. The series has potentional.

    In any event..

    The new episodes were good
  19. Comic Book Fans.. <-- winner

    the whole notion of picking or the other is totally stupid, as far as I know I am watching BOTH.
