Going from not including Kryptonite at all to introducing a villain that runs on Kryptonite is a pretty big jump.

Lex Luthor to be African American? Justice League to be a "United Nations" of heroes? Interesting, if true...

Warner Brothers has no idea what they are doing.

Denzel as Lex Luthor might be the only thing that could be appealing about this movie... Probably still just terrible though.

Agreed. Looks like he's staying as far away from it as possible, though.

True, but this is over the top, Bioware Mass Effect 3 bad. They could not be doing a worse job if they hired monkeys to write and direct this movie. The sad thing is that if they **** this up then it could literally kill DC Comics in movie form for a long time. The WB is just clueless about why Marvel has been successful.

This is purely selfish, but I kind of hope this happens. I just have no desire at all to watch an endless parade of DC/Justice League build-up, spin-offs, etc. I'm already beyond fatigued as is. Marvel doing their thing is enough for me. And they're doing it the right way, with laser-focus and a plan. WB has no idea what they're doing. They're just making it up as they go. So what's the point? And does anyone truly care about any other DC characters outside of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman? Granted, no one was really begging for an Iron Man movie before Marvel started doing their thing, so who knows. Maybe something like the Flash will be a hit down the road.

Mass Effect 3 was the most fun game for me in the franchise so I think that is a **** comparison.

My hopes for DC comic book movies are pretty much gone outside of Batman and a normal (non Justice League) Superman movie.

My point had nothing to do with gameplay, rather I was referring to the incredibly lasy ending that invalidated everything you do in all of the games. Literally none of it mattered and you could have screwed up majorly and still been able to get one of the 3 endings. Even with the extended cut, it was still horrifically awful and destroyed the franchise for a lot of people.

I'm starting to think that this movie doesn't actually get made. Not in this incarnation, anyway.

Is there some DC villain or hero that hulks around and doesn't speak? And I mean at all. Because that would be perfect for Mamoa.

I'm guessing all the studio heads/producers/whoever did is exactly what you did...watch that video and decide, "man she's hot, lets make her Wonder Woman". Yeah she's attractive, but still completely wrong for WW unless she bulks up big-time. Hollywood cracks me up when they try to pass off petite women as major ass-kickers. Even Ronda Rousey would get her ass handed to her by most regular-sized, in-shape men. And yes, I know WW has "super powers" so she doesn't have to be huge. But she does need to appear powerful, and this chick doesn't in the slightest.

I'm beginning to flip over into TCTTS' camp and follow this movie's development simply for the amusement factor.

Wonder Woman also trains as hard as Batman and is either part God or blessed by the gods. She is, by definition, going to have a lot of muscle tone and a very curvy body. The body type she would have is comparable to the myriad of South American fitness models (large bust, big hips/ass, small waist, lots of muscle definition).

The only way this woman gets that kind of body is with surgery. She could workout hardcore and even do steroids and it wouldn't matter, she just doesn't have the requisite body type. They would have been better served going with a bigger woman but curvier woman and getting her to lose the weight and add muscle.

Hollywood forgets that Wonder Woman's origin is rooted with divinity, which means she going to look like the ideal woman. It's like Superman's origin (just replace magic with science), which, by definition, causes him to be a perfect representation of the ideal man. It's not believable to have either character be played by someone who doesn't represent that ideal. Both characters are iconic because of this. They get it with Superman thanks to Christopher Reeve, but they don't get it with Wonder Woman.

Yeah, this girl playing Wonder Woman would be the equivalent of casting Robert Pattinson to play Superman because he's good looking and deciding you can just train him and bulk him up to Superman proportions. They made a good choice with Cavill and even with Affleck IMO, but this choice is just baffling.

Whoa. Joaquin Phoenix as Luthor...

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/warners-joaquin-phoenix-batman-superman-1200969925/

Why does WB insist on giving me (a sliver of) hope for this movie???

Then again, this isn't a done-deal....

Probably won't happen, and I like Pheonix in general, but I don't see him as Lex Luthor. Luthor is cold hearted, calculating, and a socio-path but he's not crazy or ever out of control.

I like Bryan Crayston for the role the most, and I could be surprised, but I just don't trust Snyder or WB with casting.

More confirmation this whole endeavor isn't going so well. Goyer out, Oscar-winning Argo writer Chris Terrio brought in to rewrite. Could just be a scheduling thing for Goyer, but I doubt it...
