Pain & Gain > Bad Boys 1. In fact Pain & Gain is his best movie as a whole since The Rock ("The Rock" is obviously his lucky charm) where everything falls into places, performances, story, humor. His style is coming full circle and he is masterful in infusing it throughout. Nothing is painfully bad or garbage like TF series.

Haven't seen P&G yet.

Katniss > Superman according to America?

 

The rest of the movies on that list are sequels though.

I agree to some extent but I'd much rather Wonder Woman be from a parallel universe where Greek mythology is real.

 

A big "no" to Wonder Woman being an alien. That's just wrong, man. 

 

I don't mind parallel and separate universes for the DC universe. MoS in his own universe, gritty Batman and Gotham in his own world, WW with Greek Gods playing Game of Thrones-esque power politics in their own universe, GL and the Rainbow corps, Flash and so on. And JL could be a Crisis on Infinite Earths kind of multiverse story where a rift in space and time causes all these parallel universes to collide and merge into one. Causing all these varying characters to come face to face with each other. The heroes form JL to help make sense of all the chaos and bring order back!

AMAZING.

There is a very real problem WB will face moving forward with JLA.  It's like every one wants to see a Batman/Superman team up on the big screen, but if you consider it logically for just one second it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  To push Superman's limits you have to create situations that would logically leave Batman out of the mix.  It just doesn't work.  I mean can you imagine Batman in Man of Steel?  He'd be relegated to running interference for bystanders on the streets.

 

It works to a decent degree in the Marvel flicks because there power level disparity isn't so drastic but even in The Avengers you have to really work hard to get characters like Hawkeye and Black Widow decent and meaningful screen time.  Maybe Whedon is the only guy out there can do that since he seems to be able to write ensembles better than anyone else right now.

 

I'd love a Wonder Woman flick, but I'm afraid a JLA flick is going to look ridiculous.  I hope they can nail it though because it is pretty much my dream movie.

 

 

Batman is a master tactician. He makes Captain America look like a 10 year old boy scout.

 

He'd know Zod's next move and how to counter attack before Superman eats his morning bowl of cereal.

But Katniss IS > than Superman!

#ManOfSteel had super slim SAT-SUN drop of 0.07% thx to Fathers Day love. Revised wknd $116.7M, $128.7M since THU.

 

Almost flat sunday

But Katniss IS > than Superman!

 

Not when she's referred on the internet as Katpiss.

Cool idea.

 

It also distinguishes Justice League even more from Avengers' single universe approach.

[Jonwo]

A Wonder Woman film should be $150m at least.

[The Stingray]

Katniss is cool, but compared to Superman she's a 7-year-old, walking the dog, no house motherf**ker!

And that works great in the context of a comic book when the scope is limited to a panel on a small printed page.  On a big cinematic screen it just falls completely apart by dropping a skyscraper on him.  It just LOOKS ridiculous and when that happens your movie's believability falls apart.

 

Again. I hope they get it right because I've wanted a JLA movie more than any other property for pretty much my entire life, but I'm really worried at how this can work in a cinematic sense.

Hopefully MoS increases on Sunday with Actuals 

[DMan7]

With a 0.07% drop on Sunday the chances of it actually increasing over estimates is well kinda HIGHLY likely.

Hahahaha...I got a direct tweet from Queen Nikki.

 

She had originally said on twitter that MOS opened with 150 WW.  I  corrected her and told her it was closer to 200.  Someone else questioned my source.  I told them my source was everyone.  This is what Nikki tweeted me:

 

Nikki Finke ‏@NikkiFinke 10h

@baumer72 @littlenomad @Deadline I've had that bigger number since 10 AM today. But the update never went out on our RSS feed to Twitter

 

I feel special.
