Batman V Superman and the DC Cinematic Universe (5 Viewers)
- Thread starter BIG DADDY!!!
- Start date
OP
Just my thoughts on how I would of loved to seen the DC Cinematic Universe played out on the big screen. Long post so bare with me.
First they should of announced that they were releasing a trilogy of movies starting with a Batman solo film, a Man Of Steel sequel the same year followed by Batman V Superman a year or 2 later.
The Batman solo movie would start showing this older battle hardened batman and could explain the events which made him this way. It would of introduced the characters which feature in this universe such as Alfred, Commissar Gordon, Lucius Fox etc. Throw in a villain or 2 like The Riddler or Penguin and after the events of Man Of Steel you got yourself a good launch pad for the DC Universe. This film would be based just before MOS and should close with MOS just taking place with Bruce Wayne trying to get into Metropolis and running towards his building.
Next MOS 2 takes place with Metropolis trying to get over the events which just took place. We see Clark Kent going about his daily life as a reporter and his relationship with Lois and his friend Jimmy Olsen. Superman is considered a hero by most and is going about helping people. Lex Luthor took control of Zods body and ship instantly after MOS and has already decoded most of the files and info learning about the history of the universe and has already started running tests and thinks he has created a clone of Superman eventually leading to the creation of Bizzaro who will be the main threat in the movie. This film will also reveal the complex relationship between Lex and Superman and will show why the former hates the latter. Lex releases Bizzaro to defeat Superman but his clone is flawed and gets defeated.
Now Batman V Superman is released.
Batmans antics in Gotham gains the attention of Superman which will in turn set up a showdown between them both. Superman constantly thwarts any attempts by Batman in fighting crime and even enrages him further by paying a visit to the Bat cave. Just imagine a shocked Alfred telling Master Wayne that he has a a visitor and Bruce enters seeing Superman standing there showing how powerful he is by saying how he found the cave in 30 seconds. In turn Batman being the worlds greatest detective figures out Superman's real identity and pays him a visit in Smallville. Martha Kent says to Clark who is standing in sweats doing the dishes totally unprepared "one of your friends from Metropolis has stepped by to see you". Bruce charming as ever introducing himself kisses her hand, comments on her beauty and tells her how his mum was named Martha.
Superman is livid. this is his house and his mother. he now knows that he has underestimated Batman and now sees him as an even bigger threat.The entire film we would of also had Wonder Woman befriend both Clark and Bruce as she knows their secret identities.
Batman and Superman fight with both getting the better of each other at various times until Wonder Woman shows up in her armour and starts fighting both of them finally revealing herself as their friend Diana and tells hem to unite as she has foreseen a bigger threat in the form of Darkseid who she knows is on the way. He would not arrive until Justice League 2 however so we still have plenty of time for the JL members to be introduced.
Various Justice League members would be revealed in this movie too and Batman would have files on all of them and he would know their weaknesses. Maybe we would start with Superman spotting a yellow streak from the sky and chasing it and it stops to reveal the Flash who smiles then continues running with Superman unable to keep up.
Victor Stones father contacts Wayne Enterprises requesting some hardware which would cause suspicion from Lucius Fox who then alerts Bruce to this and after he investigates he discovers that he's trying to create Cyborg.
Suicide Squad can be released after BVS and expand more of this newly formed Universe most notably Batmans story. Then the Wonder Woman stand alone movie will reveal Aquaman and would feature a bloody feud between the Atlanteans and Amazons. This will show how tough it will be for Wonder Woman to stand alongside Aquaman but they will put aside their differences when they form the Justice League.
Now we get to the Justice League movie. Lex has gained even more power in Metropolis and is going all out to destroy Superman. After failing to perfect a Superman clone and using the decoded files from Zods ship he creates Doomsday. He uses his influence to try and discredit Superman but it all falls on death ears. With his damaged ego he unleashes his creation.
Doomsday tears through Metropolis causing mayhem and takes out Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. As his rampage continues Flash and Cyborg show up separately to try and stop him. Now we have 5 heroes working together but he still can't be stopped. Wonder Woman suddenly decides to swallow her pride and contacts Aquaman and the Atlanteans and together they take out Doomsday but not before he kills Superman.
The world is crushed after the death of Superman. The surviving heroes attend his funeral feeling some camaraderie after fighting and defeating Doomsday together. Together they agree to form an alliance in case a threat ever threatens the world again.
Its at this moment a figure emerges from the crowd who would be a character who somehow has made an appearance in every movie from Man Of Steel. I'm not sure which character he could be but he reveals himself to be a shape shifter. he is the Martian Manhunter and he tells the group that he's been watching them the whole time and that they need to band together because Wonder Woman's vision is true and Darkseid is coming...
Sorry again for the long post. What would you guys like to of seen/see?

Ben Affleck Confirmed to Direct Standalone Batman Movie

The 'Flash' Movie Loses Its Director
Seth Grahame-Smith is leaving the Warner Bros. project due to “creative differences,” THR has learned.
Grahame-Smith, the author and screenwriter of such works as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, was to have made his directorial debut on the project based on the iconic DC Entertainment scarlet-speedster superhero.
The project will retain Grahame-Smith’s script, which he wrote working off of a treatment by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the Lego Movie duo who once were eyeing it as a possible directing vehicle.
The Flash already has a release date — March 16, 2018 — and a star, Ezra Miller, who's portraying the classic hero known as "the fastest man alive." There is plenty of time for the studio to find a director.
Miller’s Flash, aka Barry Allen, was introduced in a cameo appearance in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and will appear in The Justice League Part One, which is now shooting and will be released in fall 2017.
Grahame-Smith still remains involved in other Warners projects. He is a writer on the studio’s Lego Batman Movie and is working on Beetlejuice 2

Justice League Adds Ben Affleck As Executive Producer
The upcoming Justice League film from Warner Brothers and DC Comics has added Ben Affleck as not only Batman but also an executive producer.
Zack Snyder will direct the film, following his efforts on Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and screenwriter Chris Terrio is returning for the script. Affleck has been rumored to direct a standalone Batman film so the move to executive producer is not incredibly surprising.
Warner Brothers is still figuring out exactly how to approach super hero films. Batman v. Superman was largely disliked by critics and has divided audience as much as its heroes on whether or not the enjoyed the dark take on the characters.
Affleck has written and directed several films and won an Oscar for his efforts on Argo. His other projects include Gone Baby Gone and The Town. He'll be joined on screen in Justice League by Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, and Ezra Miller.

Yeah loosing Seth Grahame-Smith is no big loss.
Affleck being promoted to Executive Producer on Justice League is quite interesting though.
I think Warner Bros are worried by BVS not fulfilling its potential and the poor reception it got from critics and fans.
Any move that helps Snyder relinquish creative control over the franchise is music to my ears..
