    So with the Phase 4 announcement looking to confirm the FF, are we thinking that the X-Men are being saved for Phase 5, therefore giving them another couple of years before they announce any sort of casting etc? Could be a long while speculating on this one, imagine the price of X1 or IH181 when that first logo pops up...

    I'm sure the new Batman will be good and will end up a big hit for WB. It's looking like a bankable production so far. They will probably run sequels in a universe without Superman and co being part of things. Nothing wrong with having these different interpretations running through different series of films. We've said it before in this thread but it's the sort of thing that will work for DC if they do it right. You can have the grounded Batman detective story as well as the Batman of the Justice League taking on Darkseid and the end of the world. Just let it happen

    Yeah definitely looking like FF to finish off phase 4, probably a few teases in amongst the other films to build things up. I'm hoping that's the case as it will really cement them in as a big deal, a proper mainstay for the next phase after that.

    WBUK seem to actually have people interested in promoting the film. Shame WB over the other side of the pond are still burying it. I saw they released the 4K trailer for josstice league instead... a trailer that actually makes no sense anyway as it uses footage from both versions but is essentially promoting the 2017 film... The comments and dislikes on that video are pretty funny though.

    Having finished the finale of FATWS I'm glad they're going to give him a go as Cap for a new film, the suit looked great with the Shield. Mackie is also one my favourites in the MCU and with a good -script he should be able to carry the film well.

    Sometimes I think that Snyder has filmed loads of secret scenes that no one has revealed yet, all ready to leak when WB ask him to return in a few years to do JL2
  7. RickSp
    Exactly! Got a good handful of books including an ASM300 that I see hitting amazing prices. I feel foolish not cashing in but the only reason I’d do it would be for an opportunity to put towards a key I’ve always wanted. But the keys are just as crazy.... Ive been hanging on making that decision, waiting for the comics shows to start up again and wondering if they will be a place where a good deal/opportunity can be found in person.

    Did you ever read those leaked storyboards from about 5 or 6 years ago? Lots of cool stuff in there but also some crazy ideas that I know Snyder has since said he would change. Apart from a few of the ideas they would surely need to do a full re-write and remove any parallels with IW/Endgame.
  9. RickSp
    Yeah I agree it seems a hard sell to get him to sign up for the role considering it's a few more years of work to complete the arc. I suppose he could get away with not having to be super ripped Batman for the duration as he's playing the old version anyway. Plus there is an on going trend of older hero types still kicking a**, just look at John Wick and co!

    I'm going to guess another year before we hear anything even suggesting the continuation of some of the JL story threads. Then it will depend on the success of the Flash and Afflecks involvement there before they decide whether it's all out the window or not. Getting Snyder and the full cast back seems like a monumental task, it probably would take 4 years to get that on the cards again!

    I guess we’ll never truly know what sort of impact it had other than the mostly positive reactions and reviews that came on its release. It’ll be talked about forever in movie making terms due to the nature of its creation, I don’t think we’ll see another film of this size go through that again.

    Well I've just caved and signed up with Sky Store so I could purchase the B/W edition on my devices at least. Got to say it looks glorious! Now I may have to cave and buy that incredible looking Vinyl score set....then purchase a record player somewhere down the line.

    It may just be the UK for this date, I can see it on Amazon Prime and a few other services now. Unfortunately the one that I want is the version that comes with the 'Justice is Grey' edition but this is only available on the Sky Store which I don't have.... Blast these endless 'on demand' services! I have about 5 subscriptions now but typical the one I can't get has the version I want.
  14. RickSp
    Very true, I enjoy this thread to see where the trends hit each week. Loki seems a tough one as most of his keys are pretty pricey and I don't know of any that sit in the modern category. Perhaps it's the likes of the supporting cast to speculate on (such as Owen Wilson whose character name I forget but I know his FF issue popped after the trailer). What's TVA by the way?
  15. RickSp
    I found the same thing with this issue as an example. The ups and downs of so many books like this are following the weekly release schedule of a TV series, it's crazy! If you're on the ball with these shows you can do well in the flipping market. I totally get it for certain books that you can bet will hold their value but there are so many that no one will care about when the series are done.
  16. RickSp
    And the next announcement should be.... Cyborg is back in the -script folks!
  17. RickSp
    Overall I've enjoyed this show and look forward to the finale, I'm hoping it sticks the landing. I haven't found the flag smasher baddies to be particularly interesting but Walker has been a great character, glad to see they are keeping him for more.
  18. RickSp
    I wonder if the 'Justice is Grey' version would come with it or if that's going to an alternative option. It still hasn't come to the streaming service over here in the UK...

    It was all there for the taking. The diversity and epic storytelling that everyone wants now. Even for those that didn't necessarily like BvS, the other films would of had other directors on board to bring their style too but it would at least be a coherent universe. And if they'd nailed the Flashpoint multiverse arc then WB could of continued with the likes of Matt Reeves Batman etc and it would look like a well thought out plan to allow these other stories to be told. Going back to JL2 and 3 now would probably come across to lot of movie goers as a copy of the Endgame plot; time travel to fix the big defeat and bring everyone together for a showdown. In my opinion this would of better suited DC characters anyway with the history they have with the Flash and alternate timelines. Don't get me wrong, I loved Endgame as I'm a big Marvel fan but the time travel aspect was the main thing I didn't like about the film. It should of been something else they came up with to fix the problem.

    An Atom movie is the kind of thing that is now years away whilst DC films go about their various re-boot attempts etc. It's funny when you think of all the stories and plans that were in place way back in 2016; the JL trilogy building up to the grand finale vs Darkseid, setting up Cyborg to be a major player for his own film, Green Lantern teases that could easily have led into the GL Corps franchise, setting up the New Gods ideas for a Jack Kirby cosmic epic, The Atom coming through on the international stage.... And this was all prior to Marvel hitting it big with Infinity War, Black Panther and even the upcoming Eternals that is likely to do well.

    Unfortunately the more we see from WB trying to leave these films behind, the more it seems like a long long way away that any chance of a sequel will occur. Particularly with Snyder having so much in the pipeline with Netflix and the majority of the cast appear to have been muffled by the powers that be. The potential was all there but it feels like any reverse decision by WB now would be even more far fetched. Maybe we could at least get the comic book version of JL2 and 3 to see out the story!

    Some really interesting points raised above about preserving something as historically important as an Action 1. Even if I was a millionaire it could be way too stressful to own such a piece!
  23. RickSp
    Is it just an ego thing or are these guys genuinely delirious about their own ability?
  24. RickSp
    Very interesting read, so much coming out after all these years of silence from people involved in these films. I wonder what the other working titles were before the studio decided on ‘dawn of justice’ which I agree was not a good choice.
  25. RickSp
    I like the look of this one more than Wandavision and F&TWS. I’m still a sucker for wanting to see them all even if I find some of the episodes a bit ‘meh’, but with Loki it looks to have a good vibe about it with some great leads in Hiddleston and Wilson. Looking forward to it!
