Here come the re-writes....... The Hollywood Reporter writes that Academy Award winning screenwriter Chris Terrio (Argo) has been brought in to rewrite David Goyer's screenplay in advance of next year's production. Good or bad? So many mixed signals from this production. As of now, Ben Affleck is the most interesting part of the movie to me.

Deadline is reporting Joseph Gordon-Levitt is negotiating with Warner Bros. not only to star in a big screen take on Neil Gaiman's Sandman, but is planning to direct as well. David Goyer will provide the screenplay. Gordon-Levitt has confirmed the news, posting the following to his Twitter account: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm incredibly honored to be working with David Goyer, Warner Bros, and @neilhimself on SANDMAN. #Prelude" The use of the "Prelude" hashtag is of some interest as it suggests that Goyer's -script might focus on the series' first collection, "Preludes and Nocturnes," which detail the earthly imprisonment of Dream, his escape and his reclamation of various objects of power. ======================================= Does Blue Horseshoe love Sandman comics now?

I concur.

Well, he was waiting for Disney to buy DC, but couldn't hold out any longer. Ben Affleck is the best thing this movie has going for it. No. Robert Downey Junior when Disney purchases it in a few months, and relaunches not only the entire movie direction but also the toy line because no kids own any DC action figures. None! Sounds like wishful thinking on your part.

What is that........ a chest toupee???

There is also a variant of issue 1. Guy that bought them from you told me you had the variant in the mini too.

Aunt May?

Let me make it big enough for you so it jumps out. That's bashing? Wow. We have different views on what constitutes bashing.

I realize you have your Marvel blinders on. Did Marvel do like four or five Iron Man movies before The Avengers? Did they do at least two-three Thor or Captain America movies? No. They blended them all together ratherly quickly (and wisely) to make a super buildup flick. Why would Superman or Batman wait for four-five movies before a World's Finest partnership? 2 Iron Man. 2 Hulks. 1 Cap. 1 Thor. You have to admit it does seem rather hasty to go straight for the Bats/Supes team-up instead of delivering some more Supes films and creating a new Batman franchise. Yup. It's obvious DC/WB is looking for some good press before they go to Disney looking for an offer. They want out, and they want out fast, as they watch the Marvel Money Train steamroll over the entire planet. they should buy Lions Gate films and then coerce Suzanne Collins into writing more Hunger Game novels because the movie blew past the Thor domestic box office putt putt mobile after four days and will blow past the WW Thor BO by $250mm. And this is relevant how? It also made more money than MoS, but I still don't see how that's relevant to the discussion. You brought a knife to a gun fight.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest they're sitting on shelves because nobody is interested in actually buying them. Marvel toys are in the hands of kids because parents paid for them. Every kid has Marvel stuff. Too numerous too mention all the stuff. Read my previous post.

Some fellow started an entire thread to bash on Man of Steel Arguing over which company makes the better movies when both companies are hitting home runs seems like you are just looking to churn the pot. Man of Steel was a great way to relaunch a franchise that had lost its way long ago. Why bash on these movies? Why are you making stuff up? Here is my opening post of that thread....... Warner Bros. Pictures' Man of Steel dropped to third place and lost about 64.7% in ticket sales from its first weekend, a larger percentage than was expected. The Superman movie brought in $41.2 million its second weekend and has earned $210 million after two weeks. Overseas, the Zack Snyder-directed film performed much better in first place with another $89 million for an international total of $188.3 million. Worldwide, the $225 million-budgeted Man of Steel has reached $398.3 million. --------------------------------------- Clearly, audiences preferred Iron Man 3 and The Avengers over Superman. Only Marvel has "it". Kudos to DC for finally putting out a decent film, though. \(thumbs u ============================ Where am I bashing? Have you actually read my posts or are you just feeling so down over Marvel dominating DC that you read what you want to read? I'm not arguing over who makes the better movies (although I'm a Marvel fan and enjoy them more). I'm stating Marvel/Disney makes tons more money. I'm not arguing that point. I'm stating it. It's a fact. Failure to take your inner fanboy out of the equation is going to cost you money. That's all I'm talking about. Don't be aggravated with yourself 20 years from now because you didn't take advantage of jumping on the Marvel Money Train now. I hope to see you at the finish line with me loaded with cash. (thumbs u But if someone wants to hold out for DC/WB to catch up and pass Marve/Disney because they like their characters more is not making decisions with their brain. Just their heart.

The toy sales will take care of that. The award noms and wins, just add more bucks to the grosses and certain bragging rights of cinematic prestige. Really?? What toy sales? Every single kid wants Marvel stuff. Kids have no interest in DC. None. More bucks to the grosses?? Seriously? Are you comparing WB grosses to Disney's ? That's like the paper delivery guy comparing his earnings to Bill Gates. But hey, you keep believing DC is still relevant. The people with IQs higher than sea kelp know where to invest. It's Marvel.

You have to admit it does seem rather hasty to go straight for the Bats/Supes team-up instead of delivering some more Supes films and creating a new Batman franchise. Batman Begins The Dark Knight Dark Knight Rises Man of Steel It would have been nice to flow Bale into this "vs" film, and keep it consistent. But another may be what they needed to change things up. We shall see. But the same person saying DC is in it for the money (guess Marvel did it for the love of the fans only) also thought Man of Steel at $650 MM + $170 MM in promotion funds was a bust because it hadn't broke a billion dollars. Oh please, I never said that and you know it. You just don't want to admit I'm right about what I've said. MoS was a decent showing (as I've posted many times) in terms of $$$. It wasn't a homerun for one of their most recognized characters. Stop counting the promo $$. Every film gets them but doesn't feel the need to advertise it to the public. (or to the IRS). I stand by the recent comments I've made about DC/WB unable to compete with Marvel/Disney and going straight to Supes/ Bats to get a better offer from Disney. WB/DC wants out yesterday. Marvel/Disney is playing chess and DC/WB is playing checkers. I can just imagine the frustration of DC/WB execs as the watch the Marvel Money Train steamroll right over them.

Stockholders are looking for $$$ paid on their investments, not awards.

$$$$ blinders. To make more $$$$$. Obviously they feel like they can't. These are companies in business to make $$$. That's all they care about. If they felt Superman sequels would be highly profitable , they would do them. I sense an underlying insecurity amongst DC fans. It's not a contest. It's about $$$$. My original post states how I believe DC properties will be "gobbled up" (bought out) by Disney eventually. I look forward to it. I look forward to the crossover of Marvel/DC character movies, cartoons, tv shows, lunch boxes, etc. But that's the fan part of me. The part of me that looks at paying the bills now and in the future knows Marvel/Disney is where to be. And like I said (again).... DC will eventually be on the same team.

Oh, that character has been "dead" for quite some time now. You have to ask yourself, "Why is DC/WB blowing their wad so fast, and going straight to a Supe/Bats combo movie, instead of 3 or 4 stand alone Supes films?". They are simply trying to take the decent leverage they got from the first Supes film and make themselves look even more attractive to Disney, before the wheels fell off in future Supes stand alone sequels. A couple successful Supes/Bats movies would definitely help to get Disney to up their current offer of pennies on the dollar for DC's characters. DC/WB will raise the white flag eventually. They know they can't compete with Marvel/Disney. The pitiful competition for Marvel/Disney is completely undistinguished. DC/WB knows their situation is dire. They will eventually be gobbled up by Disney. It's just a matter of time. How much $$ can they get out of Disney is the only unknown remaining. I look forward to an Avengers/JLA movie in 2025. Thank you All Powerful Disney. You do realize that one DC movie was nominated for more Academy Awards than every Marvel movie ever made. But there's nothing wrong with Disney/Marvel aiming for the children's market, my kids love them. You do realize that every Marvel movie has made the company a zillion dollars in total revenue. (I didn't see any TrickerTreaters wearing DC costumes this year. Only Marvel costumes.) You keep your "award". Awards don't pay the bills. We're interested in $$$$. Of which Marvel is the Distinguished Champion. Game over and lights out for DC/WB. This is common knowledge. A zillion dollars? Costumes?! You win bro. You're missing the point. Kids in Marvel costumes only shows where the popularity is now and for the future. Revenue from movies, cartoons, tv shows, DVDs, video games, lunch boxes, back packs, pencils, erasers, toys, action figures, bed sheets, pillow cases, blankets, clothing, Universal Studios, cruise ships and amusement parks............ My God, the list goes on and on. I could type all day long the things Marvel/Disney gets $$$ from. You wanna make money? Forget the friggin' comic books. That's a waste of time and gradually being phased out. It's all right there in front of you. Invest in Marvel/Disney as they conquer the world.

Thank you All Powerful Disney. marvel doesn't own all their characters so that does hurt them in the long run. DC/WB looks like they have a plan on using all the characters and that could pay off for them in the long run more then Marvel. Wishful thinking of a dreamer. Follow the money. It all leads to Marvel/Disney. The 6 billion Disney paid for Marvel was a steal. They'll make trillions over the next 200 years with Marvel properties. They will get the rights to everything in time. I only hope I live long enough to see the eventual Marvel Super Hero /Star Wars Park built in Florida.
