DC Comics Multimedia General - A crisis of infinite fuck ups

[Chocolate Rain]

But it was written by Tom King, and according to these people that makes it the best and deepest thing ever!

For some reason the libs love Tom "C.I.A" King and think he writes the only comics worth reading.

The best thing about this piece of shit flopping is people finally waking up to see what a hack Tom King is especially with his recent Wonder Woman run crashing and burning.

I will never not be amused by how much of a badass mastermind the WW stories portray Ares. He is always a chump in mythology. Ares represents the young warrior that things combat is like a Dynasty Warriors game. He goes in thinking he will defeat everyone only to get outsmarted by anyone with a brain (even MORTALS) and end up grievously wounded. I am glad that he is shown as somewhat competent but he is mainly a warrior god as opposed to a strategy god. He almost never gets shown in a good light in Greek Mythology.

Ares in myth is complex.

He’s the only Greek to actually love his mortal children enough to defy Zeus. His relationship with the Amazon’s in myth is literally him supporting them, even in the Trojan War (there is more than one motivation) that he switched sides because one of his Amazonian daughters is fighting for Troy.

Zeus hating him also likely springs from Zeus fearing being usurped as Ares is his first born and Zeus openly hates Ares. Like beyond just outright saying it, you know the myth where the cuck god gets angry that he’s getting cucked and everyone laughs at how the cuck god confirmed he was a cuck? Yeah, Zeus used Aphrodite as part of the ransom payment because Hera was strapped to some ultra cuck chair the cuck god made. Ares has to see some spiteful midge get his girl because Zeus gambled her and Ares wasn’t expecting guns when he went to punt that disgusting midge.

Ares beyond being used for stakes is basically the errand boy with Hermes. Literally any random bullshit Ares or Hermes has to do it.

I am being autistic, but I loved myth as a child. Ares and Hades always got the short end despite effectively having some very noble, human traits. Ares also wins, Rome big dogs everyone and he as Mars is their patron god. The Trojan War is literally Ares game planning and playing 4D chess from the Roman perspective.

To bring my point home, I have never understood why Ares is her enemy. Ares at most should be one of those frenemy characters. Opposed, but not malicious.

Ares HAS good qualities but he also has bad ones. Not saying he is an evil (or non-complex) god.

Zeus hating him also likely springs from Zeus fearing being usurped as Ares is his first born and Zeus openly hates Ares. Like beyond just outright saying it, you know the myth where the cuck god gets angry that he’s getting cucked and everyone laughs at how the cuck god confirmed he was a cuck?

Ares has to see some spiteful midge get his girl because Zeus gambled her and Ares wasn’t expecting guns when he went to punt that disgusting midge.

First things first, Ares isn't the confirmed successor. Every kid of his is in the running. What matters is who is capable of overthrowing the king of the gods. That is tradition. Ares does not get respect because he doesn't have what it takes to do that. Athena does and she gets respect. She is also the forerunner in the race to succeed Zeus. She is one of the kids Zeus had with his original wife (Metis) and thus she is more "legitimate" as she inherited her mother's domain of wisdom.

Also, fun fact: There is a chance that the relationship between Ares and Aphrodite might stem from the fact they they were once the same god with the name "Aresteia Aphrodite". As for Hephaestus being a cuck, so is Ares. Aphrodite cheats a lot.

Ares beyond being used for stakes is basically the errand boy with Hermes. Literally any random bullshit Ares or Hermes has to do it.

Ares IS capable when he really tries to be. Also, he is one of the fastest gods so he can keep up with Hermes.

Ares also wins, Rome big dogs everyone and he as Mars is their patron god. The Trojan War is literally Ares game planning and playing 4D chess from the Roman perspective.

I always thought of Mars as an older Ares. That being said, he retained some of the traits that made him weak. His hatred for strategy and cunning manifested in Rome losing battles it could have won and they looked down upon those that had cautious/deceptive approaches to warfare. The 2nd Punic War was a meatgrinder unless Fabian or Scipio Africanus were in charge of the army. Fabian was met with mockery whenever he went out in public and the only reason Scipio wasn't was because by the time he took command, Rome was desperate enough to be as cunning as a fox that graduated from Oxford with perfect marks on the subject of cunning and got itself Phd on the field. Things were really bad and they didn't have to be.

To bring my point home, I have never understood why Ares is her enemy. Ares at most should be one of those frenemy characters. Opposed, but not malicious.

He really shouldn't. She is technically his granddaughter and he truly cared for the Amazons. Other gods such as Gaia and some of the other Protogenoi should be her enemies. Maybe some Titans too.

Anyone else think Gunn's Batman: The Brave and the Bold will ultimately get canceled?

Its tentatively slated for a 2028/2029 release - long after the merger should have gone through (assuming the merger isn't halted for some government related reason). Would the Ellisons keep Gunn around to finish filming principal photography?

They also haven't even announced the actor Gunn has cast for Batman, which seems a bit sus.

IDK, I just have a feeling the film will get scrapped.

You'll see batman in man of tomorrow. It's a surprise. They won't cancel it. Any projects currently in active development/production won't get cancelled. That's money money thrown out. They'll let them see light of day cause there's a chance it'll bring in some money that can help slowly pay off the merger.

Especially when you have Matt Reeves’s Batman 2 coming around the corner. My personal hunch is that if the merger happens, I could see the Ellisons/Paramount sticking with Reeves’s Batman instead of the DCU.

 

[Calandrino]

Snyder Bros must be feeling real smug right now, lol.

Yeah Man of Steel ruled, plus I gotta point out that Znyder is better than Gunn at setting montages to popular music even though that's Gunn's entire thing

There hasn't been a good Superhero movie since....Infinity War? Which was 2018

the last good show or movie that was super hero themes was My Hero, which is somehow more mature than your average comic book flick of late because it tackles real life societal issues with the villains, and how monsters can be made, and it doesn't even justify them, it just presents to you a monster, a villain, perfectly crafted by circumstance and societal faults.

I always thought Zeus should be a Superman rogue or a shared one with Wondy.

Superman is to the modern “Justice Gods” what Zeus was to the Olympians, has a trio with Arthur and Bruce that evokes Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Anything or anyone descended from him are destined for greatness.

And is nothing like Zeus, despite their immense similarities in personal history and feats. There’s an argument for Lex being Clark’s version of the mortal kings who rebelled against Zeus. Jimmy is pretty much just Hermes with no powers. Lois is the mortal women Zeus fell for but Clark ain’t a wanderer.

I really don't like the idea of Gunn making his Batman (the actor) a "surprise". 'cause than he could do some sort of stunt casting.

Heck, watch Gunn's Batman be one of his sycophant actor friends, like Skeet Davidson.

Honest question, would you all want to see a Batman Beyond film? Maybe set in the Nolan universe or something like that?

No, I don’t want them touching it. You want asian Terry?

After what snoy did to 2099, I want the niche edgy future for DC to remain a treat for those with taste and not watered down for trogs.

 

[Newcomer 42]

You want nigger Terry?

Fixed. No way they'll use an asian when the goal is to destroy all white culture, since asians are honorary whites.

Allegedly, there's an incoming Batman Beyond-inspired game as a sequel of Arkham Knight, so that Batman is not Beyond notice. Besides, the setting already has comics continuing the story, and the latest one, from what I remember reading, were a bit subpar already.

 

[Zenos Yae Viator]

no, it cannot be adapted, because it belongs to the Timm universe, and that's one they sadly, failed to properly get the spirit of in any movies in the last 25 fucking years, arguebly the only movie that comes close is the original Batman film with Keaton.

Timm was the first connected universe of super hero's (alongside the Marvel Spider-man, X-men and Ironman shows but they were pretty loose with it) and it isn't arguable on this, it was the best. period.

Allegedly Gunn approached Matt Reeves so his Batman would be the the DCU’s Batman and he refused.

Even if this would a movie franchise lead would want. I doubt that’s the what either wants, and might had been an executive push.

Matt likely wants to be left alone, and Gunn’s goofy take on DC would clash with his tone. And he likely knowns Gunn might be gone before him. Why risk it? He gains nothing.

I also doubt Gunn would want to share his toys. Batman is the crown jewel of DC, so he is most likely to want to do his own Batman, than share credit and creative control, even if it’s unlikely he will be able to top Matt’s take.

Ares and Hades always got the short end despite effectively having some very noble, human traits.

I think the only piece of media I've ever seen that portrays Ares as a good guy is this cartoon called Class of the Titans. Even then, it makes him a generic drill sergeant while Hercules is turned into a fat slob who stole credit for his Labors.

You'll see batman in man of tomorrow. It's a surprise.

Hmm, having Batman debut in a Superman film instead of his own movie. What happened the last time someone tried that?

Oh, this cinematic universe is FUCKED.

I always thought Zeus should be a Superman rogue or a shared one with Wondy.

Superman is to the modern “Justice Gods” what Zeus was to the Olympians, has a trio with Arthur and Bruce that evokes Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Anything or anyone descended from him are destined for greatness.

And is nothing like Zeus, despite their immense similarities in personal history and feats. There’s an argument for Lex being Clark’s version of the mortal kings who rebelled against Zeus. Jimmy is pretty much just Hermes with no powers. Lois is the mortal women Zeus fell for but Clark ain’t a wanderer.

I'm not too familiar with DC's take on the Greek gods, but has Superman ever had any major interactions with the Olympians? I remember reading a comic where Superman pulled a Hercules and filled in for Atlas for a day, but has he ever teamed up or fought someone like Poseidon?

Honest question, would you all want to see a Batman Beyond film? Maybe set in the Nolan universe or something like that?

Better than dragging Keaton back for a half-assed reprisal.

It will either be some broccoli haired faggot no one except teen girls have heard of from Euphoria or something, or it will be his brother. But I disagree with clickbait. Disney canceled all the Star Wars crap when it became embarrassing, and Paramount can do it easier since they have no pre-existing relationship with Gunn and it's blatantly obvious he is incompetent. He doesn't even have one successful film in his non-Marvel resume.

 

[Incecticyder]

I hope that the merger goes through and Gunn is gone.

He wasn't bad in Disney's Hercules.
