I just got done
discussing the Marvel Panel which took place at Comic-Con International over
the weekend. Now it’s time to get into the DC stuff. I know that I am a Marvel
boy at heart, but I do still like DC and I have always loved Batman. I think
the idea of Batman and Superman encountering each other on a live-action screen
has been in the hearts of comic book fans for years. Now it’s happening to abruptly
that I can barely contain myself. Not only will this be a Superman vs. Batman
movie but an introduction to the DC Cinematic Universe and Justice League in
particular.
Ever since this
project began and Warner Bros. started casting their characters there has been
controversy at every corner. Nobody liked the idea of Ben Affleck as Batman,
nobody liked the idea of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Heck, I’ve been giving them
Hell over the Jesse Eisenberg as Superman’s arch-nemesis. But through it all,
they have been full steam ahead on making this movie and making it as good as
it can be. I have to say, I thought it was silly to not believe in Gal Gadot as
Wonder Woman and I think the image they released over the weekend will shut the
haters up:
I already here
fanboys getting into frenzies because her costume is not red, white and blue.
But here are a couple thoughts, first of all it’s a dark picture so the
coloring maybe off. Second of all, costumes evolve over time in the movies and
perhaps by the time “Justice League” is released, so I don’t see a big reason
to get all up in arms over this. Who knows? Maybe by the end of the film she’ll
be in the uniform we know and love. But already I am digging how she looks.
The footage from
Comic-Con was released on the internet yesterday for a very short time. If you
were lucky enough to see that footage before it was taken off the internet,
then you know how cool everything looked. If you missed out, I’ll tell you it
was very short but sweet. We see Ben Affleck in his Batman uniform. Although it
isn’t a usual Batsuit, it looks more like armor and his eyes are glowing white.
It looks very much like a Frank Miller comic book come to life and that is what
I dug most about the footage. Batman looks into the sky and turns on the
Bat-signal and in the middle of the signal is Superman, hovering in the sky.
Superman eyes turn red and he looks like he is ready to engage Batman. Batman
doesn’t even flinch, he is ready for whatever Superman is planning for him.
And just like
that, the footage ends.
No looks at
Wonder Woman or Lex Luthor, or Cyborg, or Aquaman or anybody else in this
movie. They haven’t been shooting for too long now so having anything at all
was pretty cool. I think the footage turned several naysayers into believers,
and I can honestly say that the next few years are going to be years to look
forward too.
