The Flash movie will definitely revive it in good...
The movie looks promising, but one thing I may have noticed and don't like is how Supergirl is harassing a whole General Zod.. I just hope the main movie turns out different. No way on earth Kara Zor- El will be using Gen. Zod's mouth to mop the floor. I just hope they are not throwing those feminism rubb**sh down our throats oh....

I think it is self explanatory. Kara didn't grow up with the Kent's. She grew up on Krypton and doesn't hold herself back. So she technically doesn't have any mental block holding her like Superman. she is not scared of fighting dirty. That's how she is in the comics I guess.

BlackManta:
Anytime I see this thread I just remember that the DCEU as we know it ends in barely 6 months

I hope The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 turns out to be a crowd pleasing conclusion to this awry cinematic experiment

Till we return with Gunnverse in 2025

Gunnverse. Can't say I will be invested in it lol.

pu7pl3:
Tbh I really did forget about this thread.
Most of our DC talks ar now on the movies thread.

Funny enough I haven't been on Nairaland for a while. Movies no longer Interest me aside Romcoms these days. Adult life hits different for me I guess.

abduleez1:
Well, I still post here once in a while but after seeing no response, I too stopped posting. Funny enough I still visit here at least twice a week.

DC talks is now majorly discussed in the movies thread.

Lol, the no direction level of the franchise has left everyone uninterested I guess. Can't say I am that hyped about it anymore sef.

Never thought a day will come when this thread will be dead...
@SMUAG, @pu7pl, @thekingishere, @abduleez1, @TonySpike @raalsalghul @el where you all at na? Long time. Hope you all are still hitting the ground running?

Getting midfielders means trent still might nt get d role..

cause i heard klopp isnt looking to get a Rb..

I'd say klopp tweaks his formation to accomodate trent. A three man at d back where trent becomes a wing back and can operate 4rm d midfield better...

what do you think?

What I heard is, Liverpool are looking at Conor Bradley as the RB option. And putting Trent in Midfield has nothing to do with buying a RB. We have one in Joe Gomez. Klopp can tweak tactics but he doesn't want to. His rigidity cost us this season.

AnfieldFan:
So you haven't heard of any bid? I'm glad we've established this ...

You have just heard publications talking about interest.... We have heard publications talk about interest in Liverpool too, from India to the USA and the middle East.....

I'm curious still, which credible publications are these you are talking about?
Daily Mail, Sun m

Athletic and the Guardian alongside Sky Sports are reliable, I just want to know the ones you're talking about in particular...

Those guys you mentioned came out to debunk it. About United, no one has debunked it. Just recently Gary Neville was talking about Apple's interest in buying the club. No one has done that about Liverpool on live TV. I just read a man close to FSG aren't in a hurry to sell. He was the one who helped Boehly buy Chelsea and also was part of the sale to FSG back in the day.
FSG don't want to sell.

AnfieldFan:
I would say Liverpool's sale is a bit more complicated because a significant portion of the fan base doesn't want the club sold to Arabs ..

Also, do you have a credible source as regards to the bids you've heard for Man U?
How much was bid and why was the bid turned down?

What I mean is, we have heard publications talking about certain billionaires being after the club's purchase and some publicly declaring interest which is different for Liverpool.

kushercain:
you complain a lot bro

About what? Saying the CGI is poor for a film that should in February be locked for a Mid June release is complaining? This stuff has been in post production for months, am not expecting perfect visuals but not that especially at this stage.

uniqueuser:
Man utd has more global appeal than Liverpool! Even the revenue both clubs make can speak for itself. Last season was the only time Lfc made more money than man utd in Delloite Money League history.

In terms of money but in fan base, Liverpool has a global appeal Biko. You guys aren't getting the point. Since Liverpool was supposedly put up for sale, we have heard nothing about its sale or bidders stepping forward to buy. Chelsea was put up for sale and we heard about 20 guys bidding. Like, Chelsea don big pass Liverpool again?
FSG don't want to sell. Trust me, if they wanted to we would all know. Owners who want to sell won't be looking for a Sporting Director to take over from Julian Ward in the summer.

abduleez1:
The Crimson Speedster....



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hebWYacbdvc

Scarlet Speedster, lol. Crimson is another Flash, Jay Garrick. (Winks)

But we seriously need to talk about the CGI. That thing looks poor for a movie that is to be released in 4 months.

uniqueuser:
Nah bro! We all know that though Man Utd and LFC are almost on the same level, Man utd still has the upper hand when it comes to global appeal. So as an investor which of the clubs will you buy?


Saying LFC being put up for sale was a PR by FSG so that they'll use it as an excuse not spend...WOW, thats your opinion though

I disagree. Liverpool should even be more appealing cause it has no debts. Don't use Nigeria as a yardstick to say Liverpool has no global appeal. Have you gone to Asia? To Australia? Ireland? Liverpool has a global reach. That's not the reason. What of Chelsea? Did they have global appeal before bidders started chasing after the club?

AnfieldFan:
Authentic reports like what?

FSG is still holding out for a massive bid, possibly higher than Chelsea...Also, Liverpool supporters are not supportive of Arab owners...

Dude, we have heard bids for Man United but not for Liverpool. That's what I mean.

uniqueuser:
No concrete bids forthcoming coupled with the fact that Man Utd is also up for sale.

Because FSG aren't serious about selling. I mean, were Liverpool not announced as the ones looking to sell first? FSG are playing PR games with fans.
They don't want to spend and are making up stories to look like the sale is why Liverpool don't want to spend.

AnfieldFan:
Bro, FSG want to sell....No better time to cash out than now....
From a pure business standpoint, there isn't a lot of room for growth as a football club than where Liverpool is right now, to g to an idea, look at our financials in comparison to Bayern, Madrid and Man United, clubs of similar stature..
Chelsea's sale brought about this....
The only reason I might see them not selling asides from Greed is if the Super League manages to get revived...If they receive an offer that's tempting enough before then, they will say good bye to the club...

Then why aren't we hearing any authentic reports on that?

Danielnino00:
They are still British.. English, Scouse, Scottish, Welsh..they are all British...all cut from the same cloth..

FSG are most likely looking for new investors like they said...even if they wanna sell, they aren't gonna sell for cheap...

Of course I never said they weren't British, they don't side with the British politics that's what I mean.
FSG aren't even willing to sell. They only need investors. If they wanted to sell, we would have heard bids being made already.

uniqueuser:
Uefa and the English FA should create strong FFP laws that cannot be bypased. This alone will reduce more these issues

That's the thing with laws, there's always a way to manipulate it. We know how it goes. You will make a law today and someone will bring instances that contradicts it.

Danielnino00:
The Scousers are being silly... Human rights abuse and all that they are accusing the Arabs of is something the British have been guilty of since time immemorial... nobody has held them to account...

Truth is, if we continue like this, we will be left behind... Unless something big can come out of the Man City case with the FA, like they are suspended from the league or deducted heavy points, teams that have money to spend will continue to bully those that don't...

Our squad needs an overhaul....

The Scousers don't see themselves as English either and have been critics of the government, hence why many of England don't like them. They believe in a way of doing things and stand by it.
What they don't realize is, times change and compromises must be made. Either way, it all depends on FSG. FSG don't want to sell the club. All these na propaganda.
If they wanted to sell, we would have known already.

Danielnino00:
The Arabs easily... They have the money to spend...
FSG are trying to run an American sport business model with Liverpool... It is obviously not working..

The Arabs aren't shy when it comes to spending

But the Scoursers don't want them. Now that's the fear.

abduleez1:
No it's a movie.
Most likely coming out after Superman Legacy.

Oh for God sake, that shit is better off as a series. A movie will dumb it down. We need something of an overarching plot you know.

phr0nesis:
Live action is what it will be

Okay. That's the only one I am interested in. Am done with all the Superman films and Batman stuff.

abduleez1:
It's a live action project as well as a theatre release. 😎

And a series I guess..?

abduleez1:
The Authority is arguably the most interesting project amongst all.
I didn't even know Midnighter and Apollo are members of The Authority.

It has all the hallmarks of greatly expanding the DC Universe and different approach towards superheroes.

It's a direct competitor to The Boys if not even more violent.

Why not make it live action?

IngeniousLeez:
Booster Gold fans finally jubilant all these years. I had a gut feeling that Gunn would include a couple obscure projects and Booster Gold might be among. I wasn't disappointed.

Swamp Thing swapping to a movie role is my happiest project amongst all. That character and his universe is too goated to remain in the shadows.

Same here .... Ain't familiar with The Authority and Creature Commandos.

You know the best thing I love here ..... It's having actors reprise their roles both in animation and live action as well as the characters being the same personality but different medium. I've been ruminating about that idea for a while and wonder why no one has tried it.
It's good he brought this and add some layer of difference from the MCU.


It's a solid initial slate mixing both popular characters as well as lesser popular ones. Having the time to even include a couple animation project is plus. I must say I'm impressed with the slate.
Now hunting for actors, writers, producers and release dates is the next stage.

The arrowverse did something like that with Vixen animated series though.

Why couldn't Cavill feature in Superman Legacy? I think something went terribly wrong behind the scenes.

uniqueuser:
Yeah

He is an attacking Midfielder/support striker I believe.

Doom patrol wasn't for me at all, I managed to finish the first season and just never bother to watch it again.

I will see whether Titans season 4 is any good, I wa already planning on giving up after this season if it remained shiit, WB just made it easier for me.

This season was worse. Bad acting, boring storyline and poorly written characters.

The only thing I am thankful to James Gunn for is cancelling Doom Patrol and Titans. God sake, if you can't make a series, use that money on charity and the world would be better for it.

abduleez1:
While Doom Patrol reduced quality a bit after the stellar premiere season, I definitely can't call it crap. In my opinion, it's still pretty good. S2 was weaker in comparison to the predecessor but S3 second part rejuvenated it a bit.
And there has been significant character development and growth in all of them. Although, the whole team trying to get off their mental rut and fully takeoff taking too much time was becoming irritating, S3 brought some growth.

For Titans' I'm happy it's cancelled. That shït was annoying and utter trash in S3. They had great cast, but totally misused the plot with incredibly wack writing.

Me I don't see the growth you are talking about if Rita after every season can't get a grip on herself, or how Jane still doesn't know what she wants or who she is. The series is some excuse to promote crazies and make it look like a norm.
I lost it this season after 3 episodes seeing Vic still the same character I met in season 2 with Daddy issues. Then there are annoying characters that don't serve any purpose; the buttss and some stupid stuff that makes me feel like throwing up.

abduleez1:
Lol, I no understand fans again. Ppl don dey accuse WB for the past few years say them too dey show everything inside trailer and should learn to tease from MCU. Dem don dey do the same thing now and peeps dey complain.

I was quite shocked with wetin Fernando talk for here. The trailer was enjoyable and the CGI was good. It's easy to feel the budget was up for the sequel.

She's saying crap. My problem with the trailer is, I wanted to go into the film thinking it had no stakes only to come out surprised. The trailer ruined that for me by hyping it up and creating an expectation I didn't want to build.

abduleez1:
Doom Patrol and Titans are out.
Sad DP will be leaving us. 😢 It's nice Titans finally gets to end. Those characters will be better off in the new DCU.

Doom Patrol became crap after an outstanding first season. Glad both are cancelled. Doom Patrol had nothing to offer but political propaganda and crap. Characters were just the same with no development that it became too depressing for me to watch.
I mean, Rita, Robotman, negative man and Jane kept complaining about the same mental shit over and over again with no growth whatsoever. Come on.
Titans didn't even know what it wanted to be, a family soap opera or a superhero show. Then there's the bad acting or slow acting from the cast. Characters were just uninteresting.
DC should stay off tv series for a while, in fact from superhero stuff if they can't get it right.
Hollywood is becoming redundant these days. I miss the 90s and early 2000s with originality. Now it's just politics and wokeness.

BlackManta:
This trailer kicks ass

I love that this film is bigger than the the first one and the stakes are higher in this trailer.

The first trailer was all light and fun, this one got pretty serious right from the start.

I just worry that maybe this trailer showed too much of the film including the 3rd act which is weird cuz Antman second trailer did a lot of showing off too.

If the reviews are good, I will definitely see this in a cinema.

WB still don't know how to market the DC films. No one needed to see all that. It should have been a surprise and it would have dragged more to the cinema in subsequent weeks of release due to the shocker it will bring. Now everyone knows what to expect. Reduces the fun.
