Jeremy Irons Says BATMAN V SUPERMAN Deserved Its Bad Reviews

Speaking with the Daily Mail, Jeremy Irons minced no words in talking about the poor reviews for the Zack Snyder-helmed superhero smackdown, saying he found the less-than-glowing critical response to be warranted:

‘Deservedly so. I mean it took $800 million, so the kicking didn’t matter but it was sort of overstuffed…It was very muddled. I think the next one will be simpler. The script is certainly a lot smaller, it’s more linear.”

That “next one” is the currently filming Justice League Part One, which Snyder is directing but which is being watched ever-closely by the media and Warner Bros. alike. Indeed, the studio has been doing some major course-correction in the wake ofBvS, from upping Ben Affleck to an executive producer to setting an official head of DC Films to scaling back the roles of those that have been intimately involved in the crafting of the DC Extended Universe thus far. So while Irons’ words may be a bit harsh coming from someone who was in the movie and will be part of the universe for some time to come, it’s not as if the studio is pretending that everything is hunky dory.

Jesse Eisenberg Confirms Lex Luthor to Return in JUSTICE LEAGUE

A big piece of the DC Films puzzle has been confirmed to appear in Justice League, and that’s Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor. Speaking at MCM London Comic-Con today, Eisenberg revealed that he indeed has a role in Justice League:

“I’m kind of in wait. They just started filming Justice League, so I’m kind of like waiting for my crack at it. I don’t know what I’m allowed to say, because I feel like there’s probably some drone following me from DC, and if I say anything wrong I get, you know, picked off. But yeah I think so, and I love it, and I love everybody who’s in it. You know, it’s a really talented group of people.”

While Luthor’s motivations were fairly muddled in Batman v Superman, the film did appear to set him up as a significant part of the DC Extended Universe going forward, especially so in a deleted scene that showed Luthor communicating with an otherworldly being—likely Steppenwolf. Indeed, Steppenwolf is rumored to be the Big Bad of Justice League, so it makes sense that Luthor would have some sort of role in the follow-up given all that time he spent in that alien goo.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of film Justice League is when it hits theaters. BvS actor Jeremy Irons recently got very candid about that movie’s problems, and with all the behind-the-scenes changes taking place, Warner Bros. appears to be taking steps to make sure Justice League doesn’t suffer from the same issues.

I'm fine with Jesse Eisenberg being in the next film, they just need to not have him be the primary villain and more importantly establish that he is Lex Luthor's psychotic son.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Yeah I'm fine with it

I liked him better towards the end of BVS

So if they continue buidling on that then I'm cool with it

Here's my contribution to this thread: Batman v Superman sucked, and has done irrepairable damage to this franchise.

 

[Lovestorm]

If they want to do something to clean up the franchise and weave in some comic stuff at the same time, they could have Zuckersperg get Kryptonite radiation poisoning and have to transfer his brain into the body of an actor that doesn't suck dick and will make a better Lex Luthor. They can even make him/her/xor black trans, it'll still be better.

 

[76Knockout]

Suicide Squad and the Solo Batman film are the only ones I'm excited for tbh.

Rumor: Possible Titles for JUSTICE LEAGUE Movies and New DC Film Release Dates

Avengers: Infinity War isn’t the only two-part superhero team-up movie that’s likely to be renamed. A new report reveals some possible working titles for the upcoming Justice League movies as well, which has so far simply been called Justice League Part One and Justice League Part Two.

The titles come from a Heroic Hollywood report, though Umberto Gonzales cautions that he has not been able the information and stresses that the tiles are rumors at best. The working titles being tossed around are said to include:

- Justice League United
- Justice League: Angels and Demons
- Justice League: Gods Among Us
- Justice League: Gods Among Men

A couple of these titles should be familiar to DC fans. Justice League: Gods Among Us shares a subtitle with Injustice: Gods Among Us, the 2013 DC Comics video games. That game took place in an alternate reality where Superman had become the militant dictator of Earth after the murder of Lois Lane sent him over the edge. A similar universe was teased in the dreamlike visions Bruce Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and many assume it is the future that the Flash was trying to warn Batman about.

Justice League United was also the title of DC Comics series published from 2014-2016. The similarity there is almost certainly coincidental, as that series followed a version of the Justice League that was based in Canada and comprised mostly of what fans would consider the Justice League’s b-team.

Gonzales also revealed what he has heard are dates that Warner Bros. has set aside of for future installments of the DC Extended Universe. Gonzales again stressed that these are unconfirmed rumors. The dates are: Oct. 2, 2020, April 16, 2021, July 2, 2021, and Nov. 5, 2021.

Rumor: Possible Justice League Titles And Additional DC Comics Film Release Dates

 

[JBSchroeds]

If the antagonist is really one of the New Gods then most of those seem like fitting titles. Though I think the first three might disqualify themselves as being already used or too similar to an existing film (X2: X-Men United, the Tom Hanks film, and the mentioned VG).

DC Films Co-Chief Promises to Bring Back Hope and Optimism to Future DC Movies’

The first JL movie will be a Crisis. Entirely different cast shows up as the Anti-Monitor eats the Synderverse. It will taste so bad that it kills him. THE END

Rumor: Possible Titles for JUSTICE LEAGUE Movies and New DC Film Release Dates

- Justice League: Angels and Demons
- Justice League: Gods Among Us
- Justice League: Gods Among Men

Tom Hanks as Darkseid, confirmed? And if they do Throne of Atlantis or some Aquaman story they should title it: Justice League: Cods Among Us.

What? BvS wasn't even that bad and all it takes is one good movie for people to get hyped again. People have short memories thankfully.

1. Bro, BvS sucked bro.

2. Franchises usually get progressively worse and not better.

You can't compare comic book franchies which are so vast in size compared to franchises of the past that primarily consisted of trilogies.

The simple fact is that no single movie will please everyone. DC will continue to make many movies in their cinematic universe. Some will suck, some will be just okay and some will be amazing. You honestly believe every single film they put out going forward will be bad? If you really do believe that I think you're being overly negative.

J.K. Simmons Going Beast Mode for Commissioner Gordon Role in JUSTICE LEAGUE?

 

[heavyarms21]

From the first pick would have never guess that was JK Simmons

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

How much "testosterone replacement or growth" is JK on?"

Man of his age to be that shredded is crazy.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Also, Geoff Johns has recently gotten a HUGE promotion, Geoff Johns will be overseeing the newly-created DC Films along with Warner Bros. executive VP Jon Berg

Johns is a big player now. He'll be a studio head under DC Films and looks to be taking a long overdue break from writing comics.

This is/was my biggest question since day 1. I mean the fans have clearly spoken that we aren't that fond of Synder.

Mos was the best Superman movie ever made. Most of the hate was lame. It had issues but it's better than bvs
